Acumulaciones social y simbólica de derechos: Su importancia para el ejercicio de los derechos económicos y políticos en las organizaciones de la ciudad de El Alto¹
Abstract
La acumulación social y simbólica de derechos es importante para comprender el ejercicio de derechos económicos y políticos al interior de las organizaciones vecinales y gremiales de la ciudad de El Alto (Bolivia). Son derechos que se forjan con la obtención de suficientes niveles de reconocimiento social, proveniente del cumplimiento de un conjunto de acciones propias de la organización. Dichas acciones se enmarcan en usos sociales y simbólicos compartidos, que van desde el cumplimiento de aportes económicos, la participación en acontecimientos que involucran a sus miembros (sociales, culturales), hasta la demostración pública de capacidades formativas que potencialmente pueden ser de beneficio para la organización. Superada esta etapa, en adelante los miembros tienen previsto un camino que vaticina el cumplimiento de otro conjunto de deberes sociales y culturales, a las cuales se suman las de tipo económico y político, que permitirán reproducir y reforzar la condición miembros de la organización como tal.
The social and symbolic accumulation of rights is important in order to understand the exercise of economic and political rights within neighborhood and trade associations in the city of El Alto (Bolivia). These are rights are built up when sufficient levels of social recognition are won, which, at the same time, are obtained with the accomplishment of several actions for the organizations. These actions are included within the social and symbolic traditions of the members, and include financial contributions, participation in (social and cultural) events where members are also involved and public demonstration of educational capacity that eventually could be of benefit for the organization. Once this phase has been passed, the members of these associations will start a new phase in which several other social, cultural, financial and political duties will need to be accomplished. These will allow the strengthening of the "member" condition within the organization.
