Abstract

This article is based on the supposition that concepts are products of the historic conditions of a given space and time and carry with them something that both is and that is coming to be. In search of theoretical and methodological support for an analysis of the educational dimensions of labor processes under worker control, we review the categories of "associated production", self management and labor culture from a historical materialist perspective. Different contexts are presented in which workers have taken control ofthe means of production. We analyze the educational processes of associated workers, based on the social movement for a popular solidarity-economy which, since the structural employment crisis of the late 1980's, has been mounting in Latin America.
