PICASSO, Florencia et al. Theoretical tensions and hybridizations in popular pots: weaving a framework of «the common. Reflexiones [online]. 2024, vol.103, n.1, pp.105-124. ISSN 1659-2859.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rr.v103i1.50792.

Introduction: This reflective article seeks to formulate a theoretical matrix to approach collective processes that allows recovering knowledge, reflection, and the articulation of experiences and essential knowledge to produce -or preserve- conditions for the reproduction of life.

Objective: It reflects on the processes initiated in popular pots and merenders as a response to food insecurity, accentuated by the pandemic and the mitigation measures that were initiatives of neighbors or groups of neighbors implemented in the Department of Maldonado, Uruguay, between 2020 and 2021. These processes must be observed in the context of public policies implemented at the national and departmental levels, with deficit apprhes and budgy otros locations.

Method and technique: The methodological framework of analysis, reflection and systematization of secondary information was chosen, taking into account various articles and updated information in this regard.

Results: Some of the results of the article refer to the construction of a referential framework that made it possible to illustrate gaps and theoretical nodes that enable mechanisms of reflexivity in relation to the «new needs», senses and meanings of communities and civil society organizations focused on food security in the Department of Maldonado.

Conclusions: This approach is strategic for the analysis of practices aimed at strengthening rights, solidarity, community care and the potential of building «the common«, its tensions, contradictions and challenges. In this sense, it is a pertinent approach to account for the contingencies and dynamism of the object of study from an experiential point of view.
