The rural habitat as a complex configuration is not only reduced to its opposition to the urban habitat. Also emerges from socioeconomic dynamics and life conditions that are always unique. The article proposes an approach to the situated understanding of the production of rural habitat in two northern Argentine provinces, based on two particular cases within a scenario of structural productive transformations. For the empirical approach, we comparatively analyze the roles of the different social actors, their interrelations and their disputes intervene in the generation of knowledge, meanings and intervention practices around the rural habitat. Thus, we relate the experience of the Mesa de Tierras in the province of Santiago del Estero and different university projects close to rural habitat in the province of Chaco. Methodologically, the work proposes the characterization of the intervening social actors, the designed rural habitat projects and the specific characteristics of the knowledge in each intervention. The proposal, which is part of a broader investigation, is tied down in the assumption that the analysis of the local processes of rural habitat production can only be approached from a radical contextualization of the cases.
