CIOLLI, Karina Gabriela. Industrial Ruins and memories of the decline of sugar in southern Tucumán. An anthropological approach. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2023, n.57, pp.131-149.  Epub 01-Mayo-2023. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i57.12167.

This article deals with the infrastructural remnants and memories around long-haul power initiatives that operated in a territory pierced by processes of production boom and decline. This work is placed in the community of Santa Ana, south-west of the province of Tucumán and north-east of the Argentina Republic, where one of the most relevant sugar mills operated from the late-19th century to the mid-20th. Since the early creation of the community, passing through the establishment of the sugar mill until its shutdown, Santa Ana saw power initiatives that consolidated processes of stigmatization and domination. These processes are analyzed from material remains and memories of its inhabitants, which were recorded during ethnographic research from 2015 to 2018. This study is complemented with the analysis of primary sources, mainly derived from local newspapers.

Palabras clave : Memories; Industrial ruins; Tucumán; Power initiatives; Ethnography.
