【 摘 要 】

This article analyzes the relations among political society, particularism, and exception in the national narratives of Uruguay. In this way, I consider a recent event: the first occupation of land held in the border town of Bella Unión carried out by a group of unionized rural workers who called themselves “peludos”. On the basis of different identifications proposed for this group, especially that which tried to relate the “peludos” to the “charrúas”, this paper explores the importance of using classifications and ethnic categories in the construction of the subaltern agency.
