Abstract
A través de un análisis de material empírico cualitativo, en este artículo se analiza cómo los llamados «nuevos pobres» construyen sus marcos interpretativos vinculados a diferentes aspectos relacionados con la organización social, la desigualdad, los procesos de polarización social, el empobrecimiento, así como sobre su capacidad de agencia política. Se ha podido comprobar cómo se está produciendo un ambivalente y matizado proceso de resquebrajamiento del parapeto mítico sobre el que se ha asentado buena parte del desarrollo del modelo capitalista (mito del progreso, de la meritocracia, de la sociedad de clases medias o del consumo como vía de integración social). Paralelamente se consideran los nuevos marcos interpretativos legitimadores del modelo emergente, asentados en la auto-responsabilización, la culpabilización, la fragmentación del colectivo y la necesidad de ocultamiento de la situación de pobreza y malestar.
By mean of qualitative empirical evidence, this article analyzes how the so called «new poor» constructs interpretive frameworks that are linked to different aspects related to social organization, inequality, the process of social polarization, impoverishment, as well as their capacity for political agency. The evidence illustrates the production of an ambivalent and nuanced process of breaking myths on which important aspects of the development of the capitalist model is established (myths of progress, meritocracy, middleclass society, or the consumption as a way of social integration). In addition, new interpretive frameworks are evaluated supporting the emerging model established in self-responsibility, guilt, fragmentation of the collective poor, and their want to conceal their own poverty.
