Abstract
CONCHA MERLO, Pablo Alberto. CRIOLLOS, GRINGOS Y TURCOS. UNA ETNOGRAFIA DE LAS RECONFIGURACIONES IDENTITARIAS EN EL CHACO SANTIAGUEÑO. Andes [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.1, pp.22-24. ISSN 1668-8090.
This article studies the historical reconfiguration of identities in the Santiago Chaco from the beginning of the 20th century until the emergence of social organizations with a strong identity policy, as is the case of the Campesino Movement of Santiago del Estero-Vía Campesina. On the one hand, it is analyzed how a process of differentiation developed between those who perceive themselves as “criollos” and two other social segments that the criollos perceive as “gringos” and “turcos”. On the other, it emphasizes how the development of territorial conflicts and the emergence of the MOCASE-VC was generating new political identities that coexist, antagonize or mix with the identity formations formed at the beginning of the century. The text shows how these identity reconfigurations are related to transformation processes in the ways in which ties are built and power relations are established in the local world.
