Abstract

The present work consists of a theoretical-historical outline of a broader ongoing investigation, whose objective is to understand the existing relations between forms of community life–peasant and indigenous in peripheral spaces and the development of local, national and regional state dynamics that affect identity and territorial configurations. This is part of the research development with the intention of giving an account of the predominance of Malargüe’s rural subsistence (both peasant and indigenous), based on extensive cattle raising in arid areas, carried out by “puesteros/as”, in a territory where the State’s inefficiency in the development of public policies aimed at the sector is evident. We report here the methodology, background, and conceptual framework of our work, to then highlight the main notes regarding the territorial permanence of the Malargüino peasantry in a sense proportional to the application of standardized and deficient policies, in spite of the discursive boom in favor of local rurality.
