The olla común is understood not merely as a practice of solidarity for survival, but as a social performance in the sense proposed by scholars such as Victor Turner and Diana Taylor: the body and collective action serve as forms of memory, protest, and social transformation. The olla común emerges as a mode of political agency that subverts mechanisms of exclusion and control—not through direct confrontation, but through communal organization that symbolically exposes, challenges, and dismantles the repressive and neoliberal structures responsible for the precarization of life. In this context, the act of cooking and sharing becomes a political gesture that confronts the dominant order, revealing its structural violence and reconfiguring social bonds through solidarity and everyday resistance. Este artículo analiza la olla común como un acto performativo de resistencia popular, protagonizado históricamente por mujeres frente a las crisis humanitarias marcadas por el hambre. Se propone comprender la olla común no solo como una práctica solidaria de subsistencia, sino como una performance social en el sentido planteado por autores como Victor Turner y Diana Taylor, donde el cuerpo y la acción colectiva se inscriben como formas de memoria, denuncia y transformación social. La olla común se presenta así como una forma de agencia política que subvierte los mecanismos de exclusión del poder, no mediante la confrontación directa, sino a través de una organización comunitaria que revela, tensiona y desmantela simbólicamente las estructuras represivas y neoliberales que sostienen la precarización de la vida. En este contexto, el acto de cocinar y compartir se transforma en un gesto político que interpela al orden dominante, desenmascarando su violencia estructural y reconfigurando los vínculos sociales desde la solidaridad y la resistencia cotidiana. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/16326 10.34096/tdf.n42.16326 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/16326/15817 Derechos de autor 2026 Claudia Andrea Cattaneo Clemente https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 telondefondo.
