Description
Summary:The article describes the configuration and dynamics that takes politics in the Comisión Municipal de Yavi, interpreted as a small rural society. From identifying the meanings and practices that people associate and oppose to politic and observe interactions with processes occurring at the provincial and national level, it’s proposed a functioning model of politic in Yavi. The results shows that the political practices are encouraged by multiple motivations that go beyond what is considered strictly as political and overlap with other spheres of social life. The methodology articulates the ethnographic approach and the case study. The empirical observations were collected between 1997 and 2014.
