RAUSCH, Gisela. Puerto Colastiné y Ferrocarril Santa Fe: la construcción de una territorialidad de explotación. Cuad. urbano [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.11, pp.7-25. ISSN 1853-3655.

Between 1886 and 1912, the Santa Fe Railroad and Colastiné Port, both situated in Santa Fe city, Argentina, were designed to be the conection and link for the territorial explotaition of the center and north of the province. That territoriality was defined by a series of specific strategies, where state intervention, rent, work and capital would be the fundamental components. Starting from an analysis of the relations between the components and that spatial strategic operation, we attempt to shed light on the links between the burocratic logic used to legitimize uncontrolled natural resources exploitation and the strategies whereby society, from the 19th to the 20th centuriy established its relations with nature and territory.
