Abstract

RODRIGUEZ OVIEDO¹, Melisa. The space, the device and agriculture: a foucoltean view on the configuration of the agricultural production space in the LRA site, Valle de ambato, Catamarca, Argentina. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.29-44. ISSN 1853-1296.

The Ambato Valley is located in the center-east of the province of Catamarca, within the Department that bears the same name. This valley is bounded to the west by the mountain range called Ambato-Manchao (4050 masl), while to the east the territorial limit is given by the Serra Graciana-Balcozna (1850 masl). Based on the field work carried out during 2013-2014, a set of structures and materials on th surface (i.e. ceramic and lithic) were observed. This new site identified as La Rinconada Arriba (LRA from now on), invites us to suggest that it is not possible to think of this agro-pastoral system as a homogenous whole, but that it is necessary to understand it with variants that can respond to various product transformations of varied social, political, environmental and/or chronological relationships.

Keywords : agriculture; Ambato Valley; device; space; productive system.
