Articulation of economic logics and modes of sociability: an analysis based on four experiences of Social and Solidarity Economy in Spain
Abstract
Abstract. In recent decades, interest in the so-called Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) - as a paradigm and as a sector of the economy - has increased. Nevertheless, the academic work carried out shows a gap between the theoretical characterisation developed around the concept of the SSE and its principles, and the limited number of case studies based on empirical data collection, which allows us to understand how these principles can be materialised - or not - in day-to-day practice. In this article we propose to problematize this question through an ethnographic approach to four economic initiatives from different sectors that self-identify as "SSE practices". These cases show a diversity of casuistics that highlight the diversity of logics and modes of sociability that are articulated under these practices, and finally, the scenario of economic plurality that is reinforced and created around the SSE.
