Continuing the conversation: anthropologies of management, tutelary powers and horizontality. An interview with la Negra (María Gabriela) Lugones

Interview with
  • María Gabriela Lugones

  • Mario Rufer

This interview with María Gabriela Lugones explores the concept of "continuing conversation" as a fundamental discursive genre that avoids the crystallization of meaning and creates an "intersection" between the text and the reader or listener. Lugones, a leading scholar with a background in History and Social Anthropology, shares her unique experiences and perspectives. Originally from Santiago del Estero, Argentina, her focus is on the relationship between management and pedagogy in governmental contexts, and her research seeks to understand the production of subjectivities in relation to forms of state subjection.
