Resumen
Descripción
Este trabajo intenta reflexionar sobre las relaciones entre el pasado y el presente: las cuevas con pinturas, los jaguares y chamanesde Aguada, el bosque y los habitantes que recorren el paisaje vivido. A partir de la experiencia de vivir en la sierra de Ancasti (Catamarca, Argentina), el agenciamiento local da cuenta de las diferentes maneras de ser/estar en y con el territorio, en un vínculo profundo donde la territorialidad toma cuerpo y se materializa. A su vez, los procesos de patrimonialización y despatrimonialización del Parque Arqueológico La Tunita nos permiten analizar las relaciones de poder que se imponen, no solo en las interpretaciones sobre el pasado, sino en la apropiación de los espacios que pasan a ser sitios arqueológicos, controlados por el Estado e investigados por la ciencia, para ser utilizados por la industria del turismo cultural. Por último, vemos cómo los nuevos proyectos de intervención representados por el avance de la megaminería paralizan las intervenciones anteriores, y dan cuenta de las prioridades del capital.
This work tries to reflect on the relationships between the past that coexists with the present, the caves with paintings, the jaguarsand shamans of Aguada, the forest, and the inhabitants who walk through the lived landscape. From the experience of living in theSierra de Ancasti (Catamarca, Argentina), the local agency gives an account of the different ways of being in and with the territory, in a deep bond in which territoriality takes shape and materialize. In turn, the processes of patrimonialization and depatrimonialization of the La Tunita Archaeological Park allow us to analyze the power relations that are imposed, not only in the interpretations of the past but also in the appropriation of the spaces that become archaeological sites, controlled by the State and investigated by science, to be used by the Cultural Tourism industry. Finally, we see how the new intervention projects represented by the advance of mega-mining paralyze previous interventions, revealing the priorities of capital.
