TOMASI, Jorge  e  BARADA, Julieta. Persistent alterities: Constructions on architectural othernessin the argentine northwest . An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.2, pp.1-17. ISSN 2362-2024.

Alterity is constituted as a phenomenon associated with the experience of otherness and with the strangeness that emerges in the experience of the different. The explanation of difference has been historically traversed by the imposition of its own interpretative frameworks for other social realities. Architectural otherness has been a fertile field for the understanding of the particularities of the most remote societies to the western world and its disciplinary canons. This article will explore the way in which architectures have been observed in the northwest of Argentina. It will consider those approaches that promoted their transformation into a civilizing logic, and those that from a more evaluative perspective highlighted certain features of these architectures, turning them into sources of inspiration. It will be proposed that in both cases, these are views that emerge from the conceptual disciplinary frameworks, alien to local practices and that deserve to be problematized.

Palavras-chave : otherness; Jujuy Highlands; vernacular architecture; disciplinary practices; northwest Argentina; XXIst Century.
