Based on ethnographic research done on the period 2009-2015, this paper describes and analyzes smacking as a part of the care practices mothers in everyday life. Considering motherhood as a social, cultural, economic and subjective phenomenon, in this text, I analyze the intertwining between care, corporal punishment and violence. Specifically, I address the relationship between mothering in women living in slums and poor neighborhood. The two areas that make up the analysis are: a) the boundaries between acceptable and punishable smacking; b) the relationship with state bureaucracies, its limits and logics.

In this paper we analyze how the qom handicraft form Fortin Lavalle —Chaco-Argentina— interacts with the market. We conceive handicraft not only as an object but as a process that takes place over a series of stages. Here we will focus on the stages of organization and sale. This process is based on the commercial potential of the handicraft. Then, from the involvement of state, NGO and merchant a series of techno-scientific, preliminaries or disciplinary techniques are put in place in order to contribute to the construction of a space of calculation, to enhance the interchangeability of the object. By reviewing the application of such disciplinary techniques, we see the tensions that appear at the time of the commodification process. Tensions that are not resolved throughout the process but that are being regulated by the actors involved in it.
