Este trabajo pretende analizar un conjunto de experiencias culturales en Ciudad de Buenos Aires que desde el retorno de la democracia se desarrollan en espacios tales como fábricas recuperadas, andenes de tren correspondientes a líneas ya fuera de circulación, galpones de pymes en desuso. Nos referimos con el término experiencias culturales a los objetivos y actividades degrupossociales queeventualmente serespaldan por la figura jurídica de asociación civil. Desde una perspectiva psicosocial, se trata esta complejidad heterogénea de grupos sociales adoptando una metodología cualitativa y un enfoque interpretativo de los discursos donde se plasman los motivos fundacionales de cada espacio, club y centro cultural. El espacio físico donde se desarrollan dichas experiencias culturales resulta significativo porque condensa las tensiones de un contexto socio histórico de extranjerización de las industrias, flexibilización y precarización laboral en el que se produjeron.

The purpose of this study is to analyze a set of cultural experiences in Buenos Aires City which, since the return of democracy in Argentina, have taken place in such places as factories restored by employees, former railway platforms or small and medium-size businesses` warehouses no longer in use. We use the term cultural experiences to refer to the aims and activities of social groups that may sometimes call themselves civil associations. From a psychosocial point of view, this heterogeneous complexity of social groups is studied using a qualitative methodology and an interpretative focus on speech, in which we find the reasons why each space, club or cultural center has been founded. The physical space where these cultural experiences take place is important since it gathers the tensions of a social-historical context in which companies became owned by foreign capitals and working conditions turned poorer and against the interest of workers.
