Chacarera Territoriality in Dispute: Reflections on Young Chacareros from Médano de Oro

Abstract

The present work seeks to deepen in the case of young
chacareros of the rural social space of Médano de
Oro, department Rawson of the province of San Juan,
Argentina, recovering advances of which it congures
the doctoral thesis of the author.
The study seeks to reect on the dimensions of
territory, development and identity in the light of the
current debates that permeate the broad eld of Rural
Sociology, taking as an input a specic case of inquiry.
We are interested in understanding the imbrication
between the labor-formative, the universe of the
domestic and the productive, and how the dynamics
of their relationships aect the processes of social
classication of the subjects that inhabit the territories.
In this sense, the work responds to the critical socio-
anthropological framework (dialectical-relational) that
rescues the complexity of the socio-cultural world and
that diers from the disjunctive logic of the production
of scientic knowledge. Therefore, it allows thinking
about research as a exible process in which the actors
are visualized as producers of practices and meanings.
