The 2001 crisis in Argentina can be interpreted as a breaking point, as continuity, or as a logic of rupture-continuity of certain factors, processes and components of the capitalist structure in the context of neo-colonial dependency. In this paper we propose to examine these multiple logics in terms of policies of bodies and control of emotions, taking into account the inter-class differences. We will analyze a set of individual and group interviews realised in Cordoba in 2008, to actors who present degrees of involvement with social organizations or collective actions, with emphasis on the social places of their bodies, experiences and sensitivity that they expressed not only in relation to the 2001 crisis, but also in relation to the previous and later context. As a working hypothesis we postulate that the increasing of the expulsion and impoverishment which characterize the social structure of our country, it is shown in the ways by which the subject live, feel and rebuild their possibilities for social transformation.
