MOSCA, Valeria. Territorialities in tension in Abasto, La Plata (Argentina): The case of a land seizure. Rev. Pilquen. secc. cienc. soc. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.3, pp.93-106. ISSN 1851-3123.

The present work seeks to contribute to the understanding of the production and appropiation of the space. We start with an approach that focus on the territoriality of the actors and from there we analyze the case of a land seizure in the locality of Abasto, La Plata (Argentina). As a result of this case study, confrontations and articulations are identified between interests, resources and strategies that are put into play around the appropriation and use of the property. A qualitative methodology based on analysis of primary and secondary sources is used. The conclusions raise reflections on the role of the state in the production of the territory.
