Abstract
This study analyzes El trabajo by Aníbal Jarkowski in the context of the social decline experienced by Argentine society under the neoliberal model. This conceptualization, framed through the notion of the “society of decline” (Nachtwey), enables the identification of capital’s strategies, which, in order to satisfy its logic of concentration and expansion, exploit the ambivalences of the “modern subject” – ostensibly free, yet ontologically precarious (Butler; Lorey). Secondly, it allows for the recognition of resistance strategies articulated by Jarkowski to confront the negative effects of capitalism, which are intensified in the case of women (intersectional oppression): antidiscipline (De Certeau) and art.
