Labour self-management in Argentina's recovered factories

The factories and/or companies recovered by their workers is an economic, social and political phenomenon that expanded in Argentina in the first years of the last decade, as a consequence of the crisis that the country went through in 2001. Hence, the main objective - analysing it today - of the workers who participated in the processes of "occupy, resist, produce", was the implementation of new forms and mechanisms of struggle to preserve the source of work. Consequently, this has led to a series of restructurings of the production processes, of the forms and means of organisation of the workers, as in the case of labour self-management. Thus, the backdrop of these experiences is the incessant struggle between capital and labour in the capitalist system; therefore, the general objective of the present thesis is to analyse the rearticulation of the capital-labour relation when living labour goes from being objectified in and for capital - alienated labour - to being objectified in and for itself - liberation of labour.
