| Sumario: | The wide variety of classification concepts used to characterize “the poor” has been accompanied by a rationale that admonishes them, idealizes them or execrates them. Beyond linking poverty to material and social destitution, its ́ most apparent form of manifestation relates to a contemptible situation that is engendered by a moral universe where people are standardized, as a means to belittle the many dimensions of life of the so-called “poor”. This is how poverty, as a driving force, soars and spills over talks, settings and subjectivities, thus identifying itself with a vast set of practices that fits to its ́ frames, designations and recreations that are inherent to subalternity. The present study aims to deconstruct the powerlessness of the poor and highlights the instance of domination to which they are subjected by discussing the legitimacy of the moral constructs that shape and define the configuration of the poor. |
