VAZQUEZ, ALBERTO D.. SPATIAL RURAL LOGICS IN PATAGONIAN STEPPE ABSTRACT. Magallania [online]. 2017, vol.45, n.2, pp.273-298. ISSN 0718-2244.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-22442017000200273.

This article explores, from the view of logical of spaces, the territoriality of a group of Patagonian producers distinguished by their condition of real rural residents. Based on previous studies, historical documents, interviews and observations, the analysis focuses on mobility’s locally performed in direction countryside-countryside or countryside-locality (village or city). These logics show a decreasing tendency in association with the decline of livestock that deepened since the 1980s. The geo-historical study of spatial practices of a producer in the Meseta Central de Santa Cruz between 1955 and 1991 show spatial-times dynamic forces scenarios in different family, technical and productive situations, a process that ends with de rural family exodus. Last, other logics are considered associated both to the abandon and plural activities such as new organization forms, identity reaffirmations, defense and territorial validation.

Keywords : peasant; spatial logics; mobility; rural exodus.
