Abstract

The aim of this article of reflection is to show the instituting potential of educational actions within the social movement of recovered factories. It also investigates the experience of the popular high schools of the Cooperativa de Educadores e Investigadores Populares (ceip) in the Buenos Aires (Argentina), in reference to the emergence of new subjectivities, pedagogical knowledge, emancipatory knowledge and alternative educational politics. Issues such as self-management, autonomy and the instituting potential of the social are addressed as a way of approaching the educational experience. Finally, the tension between autonomy and self-management as guiding principles of the instituting potential and the place of the instituted is evident.
