Abstract
This article presents an experience of alteration of governmental configurations in a hospital in the context of the political and social crisis of Argentina in 2001. It does so based on the analysis of a group of Medical Residents at a Provincial Hospital of the Republic of Argentina through a research methodology of narratives. The text shows the action of health workers in contexts of extreme precariousness and gives an account of the emergence of new ethics, practices and forms of organization through the connection with forms of power that proliferated from the social base in the context of that crisis. Those forms of organization and practice allow the articulation of new ethics as a key economic mechanism over which emerge the frame for new forms of organization and government of the hospital. The concept of "ethopolitics" is used to focus on the active quality of the subjects, the degree of reflection about their action, and the connection of these two factors with politics and power relations.
