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.
