Since the late nineteenth century, state actions have aimed at alleviating poverty and inequality involved in the development of capitalism. For the particular case of Argentina, we have highlighted in other works some attributes of the state’s interventions on vulnerable populations over the last decades. These attributes include their mass character, that is, the large number of programs and subjects receiving them (De Sena, 2011); their lifetime coverage, where at each stage of life (from pregnancy to old age) there is a subsidy for the poor subject; and reciprocity, that is to say, receiving aid in the form of a lifetime subsidy in response to conditions of poverty always has a conditionality, a “task” or “activity” that the person who receives it must carry out. This article outlines the narratives that the recipients themselves of social policies produce and that imply their practices of feeling regarding hope. Sixty-four interviews were conducted in the districts of La Matanza and the City of Buenos Aires between 2014 and 2019; the interviews include their stories and their hopes regarding the future of their children.

自十九世纪末以来，国家行动的目的是减轻资本主义发展中涉及的贫困和不平等。对于阿根廷的具体案例，我们在其他著作中强调了过去几十年来国家对弱势群体干预的一些特点。这些属性包括它们的大众特征，即接受它们的大量项目和受试者（De Sena，2011）；他们的终身覆盖，在生命的每个阶段（从怀孕到老年），贫困人口都会得到补贴；互惠，也就是说，为应对贫困状况而接受终身补贴的援助总是有一个条件，即接受援助的人必须执行一项“任务”或“活动”。本文概述了社会政策的接受者自己产生的叙述，这些叙述暗示了他们对希望的感受的实践。2014 年至 2019 年间，在拉马坦萨地区和布宜诺斯艾利斯市进行了 64 次访谈；采访内容包括他们的故事以及他们对孩子未来的希望。
