Abstract

Since the 90's in Brazil there are many Solidarity Economy initiatives. Researches has been devoted to the evaluation of these experiments seeking to measure its economic and political sustainability and their meanings. Gain relevance the projects that mobilize greater resources in the process of production of goods or services over others formats whose axis is focused more in the circulation than the purchase and sale of products. We start from ethnographic studies in the Pire Network in Dourados-MS and than Clubs of Exchanges in the network Pinion in Curitiba, PR, front the gap the studies about such groups, we intend questioning the materiality of solidarity economy from the things that are produced and put into circulation. The hypothesis is that the solidarity economy beyond the particular forms of sociality, also produces, through the materiality of things, their uses and meanings, a process of disalienation, once it operates in the cracks of the capital using material and symbolic resources without the logic of the market.
