Etnografía de pastores en el Centro-Oeste argentino Gasco, Alejandra Valeria Durán, Víctor Piazze, Laura Giardina, Miguel Campos, Guillermo herders Andean valleys transhumance Argentina Chile pastores valles altoandinos trashumancia Argentina As part of a larger research project, an ethnographic project was carried out in central western Argentina. It was based on participant–observation of the everyday life of a modern group of goat herders that make summer stays -veranadas- in the high-mountain valleys in the Andes in the southwest of the province of San Juan. In this region, these are the only documented transhumant groups. Seasonal movements between the Argentine highlands and the Chilean lowlands show evidence of long-term continuity of some traditional cultural practices in spite of national laws that restrict movement in areas near the international border. This research led to questions that went beyond the initial research design to include the ways these groups understand the international border territory and the ways it affects their movements and use of mountain environments. Dentro de un proyecto mayor de investigación arqueológica, se diseñó una propuesta de acercamiento etnográfico que aportara en esa línea. La misma se basa en la observación participante y descripción de la vida cotidiana de un grupo actual de pastores de ganado caprino que hacen uso de los valles de la Cordillera del Límite en el SO de San Juan durante la época estival -veranadas-. Los grupos estudiados y su actividad constituyen la única evidencia de trashumancia y pastoreo de altura desarrollado actualmente en la región. Esta estrategia permite dar cuenta de la continuidad de ciertas prácticas culturales tradicionales en áreas de frontera, pese al reciente establecimiento de normas restrictivas por parte de Estados Nacionales. A partir de ello se desprenden interrogantes que se escapan de los objetivos iniciales, vinculados a cómo estos grupos conciben la frontera, el territorio, en función de su dinámica de movimiento y uso de ambientes de altura.
