Résumé : The recovery of companies by their workers was one of the movements for autonomy that characterized the cycle of rebellion in Argentina between 1993 and 2002. Confronted by the liquidation of a company, the workers would occupy the premises and resume production. The cycle of governance that followed this period was characterized by new mechanisms of control that weakened the principles of direct democracy and solidarity forged in the workers' struggle. Field research on two recovered companies suggests that, despite the institutionalization and disarticulation of the movement, the experience of more horizontal forms of organization, the reappropriation of the means of production, and the experience of autonomy are lessons for the working class that will be the referents for future organization for confronting capitalist exploitation. © 2013 Latin American Perspectives.
