Abstract

Civil society is a concept which consolidates during XVI and XVIII centuries. Since then it has been useful to designate a part of society which, among other features, is separated from government spaces, that’s why it is considered in a different place from politics. However the history seems show us something different, it is the case of some of the civil society organizations, which have changed its objective: from specifically productive issues, to the influence on the politics spaces. This paper show the peasant autonomous organization sample, which, in specific social moments, have transgressed the specific productive space, and show its capability to work in the civil and politic context. This analysis try to give some clues about what imply civil society nowadays, specially in rural context.
