Resumen

En el transcurso del siglo XXI, la gente ha estado experimentando con diferentes formas de organización política. En el noreste de Brasil, este espíritu experimental llevó a la creación del Pacto de las Aguas, un proceso que involucró a más de ocho mil participantes reunidos en una serie de audiencias públicas [1] en las que se asumieron compromisos para velar por el agua, observando las especificidades del contexto local. . El Pacto reunió estas promesas en un formato escalonado que, según creen los organizadores, proporcionará los medios necesarios para abordar los problemas estatales del agua. El Pacto rompería con una historia de fallas legales y de infraestructura relacionadas con el acceso al agua subterránea en el estado de Ceará. Este artículo examina cómo se produjo este colectivo, cuáles fueron sus unidades constitutivas y cómo la lógica de agregación condujo a las prácticas que llevaron a su compilación. Mi objetivo es reexaminar el colectivo como una forma de competencia cuantitativa que debe reconsiderarse cualitativamente.
