[ES] El artículo tiene como finalidad caracterizar el modelo organizativo y el discurso de los grupos de consumo alimentario de Lavapiés, un distrito del centro de Madrid, con objeto de verificar si estos grupos pueden ser conceptualizados como formas de innovación política y social sustentada en el principio de cooperación entre productores y consumidores. La metodología consiste en un estudio empírico basado en entrevistas semi-estructuradas con un miembro relevante de cada uno de los grupos de consumo de Lavapiés. Para procesar la información cualitativa, se llevaron a cabo una codificación inductiva y un análisis de coocurrencias. Se verifica la hipótesis de que estos grupos constituyen un ejemplo de construcción de redes sociales alternativas auto-organizadas basadas en la idea de que el consumo alimentario constituye una elección política, que contribuyen a crear modelos alternativos agro-ecológicos de producción y consumo alimentarios. El modelo de gobernanza territorial de los grupos de consumo involucra la existencia de vínculos intensos con las redes sociales del barrio de Lavapiés y con el movimiento agro-ecológico de Madrid.
[EN]The article aims to characterise the organisational model and the discourse of the food consumer groups located in Lavapiés, a district in central Madrid (Spain), in order to test whether these groups can be conceptualised as forms of political and social innovation based on the principle of cooperation between producers and consumers. The methodology consists of an empirical study based upon semi-structured interviews with a prominent member of each of Lavapiés¿ consumer groups. An inductive coding and an analysis of co-occurrences were conducted in order to process the qualitative information. We verify the hypothesis that these groups constitute an example of construction of self-organised alternative social networks based upon the concept that food consumption can be considered to constitute a political choice, contributing to creating agro-ecological alternative models of food production and consumption. Territorial governance of consumer groups involves the existence of close links with a dense social network embedded in the neighbourhood of Lavapiés, and with Madrid¿s agro-ecological movement.
