KATZER, Leticia et al. BIO-HISTORY OFNOMADISM AND TERRITORIAL PRODUCTIONINNORTHEAST OF MENDOZA: INTERDISCIPLINARY READING FROM ECOLOGY, ARCHEOLOGY AND ETHNOGRAPHY. Relaciones [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.2, pp.1-10. ISSN 0325-2221.

In the Latin American and Argentinean scientific imaginary, nomadic life forms lack current existence. However, the ethnographic records of Lavalle's dryland show the opposite. The following article proposes to analyze the social and cultural mechanisms through which the ethnic ascripts construct territoriality and structure their forms of sociability on the basis of a reactivated nomadism, based on an interdisciplinary reading from ecology, archeology and ethnography. We approach the territorialproduction in the NE of Mendoza in a multidimensional way proposing as a central hypothesis that native forms of sociability tend to activate and give continuity in a reconfigured and updated way, the historical forms of nomadism (archaeologically and ethno historically recorded) in these dimensions Work, residence and management of local natural resources.

Keywords : nomadism and territoriality - ethnic representation - landscape - habitat -natural resources.
