Reoccupying, rebuilding, “re-founding”: the repopulation of the villas of south Buenos Aires (1981-1985)

This article reconstructs the process of repopulation of the villas of South Buenos Aires which took place after the eradications carried out by the last dictatorship. It works alongside three axes: reoccupy, rebuild, “refound”, which I consider edges of the more general process of repopulation. The...

It works alongside three axes: reoccupy, rebuild, “refound”, which I consider edges of the more general process of repopulation. The period is primarily the early 1980s,which involved a transition from dictatorship to democracy, when some incipient returns of inhabitants previously evicted took place. This process was gradual and grew in scale throughout that decade. I focus on Villa 20 and Villa Cildáñez, although I extend my observations to other areas of the capital, working with the voices of those who lived there. I read the repopulation as the attempt, by villa families, to recalibrate that machinery of control and displacement established by the dictatorship in line with a spatially exclusive policy; as an implicit and unintentional way of making decisions regarding the distribution of people in the territory. To make it effective, residents continued and deepened the use of mechanisms stemming from the resistance to eradication emerged during the dictatorship. This process was, of course, not free of tensions, and it is precisely the purpose of this article to explore them. Este artículo reconstruye el repoblamiento de las villas que tuvo lugar luego de las erradicaciones efectuadas por la última dictadura a través de tres ejes: reocupar, reconstruir, “refundar”, que considero aristas del proceso más general de repoblamiento. Me concentro en los primeros años de la década de 1980, en la transición de dictadura a democracia, cuando se registran algunos incipientes retornos de habitantes a villas previamente desalojadas. Este proceso fue gradual y fue creciendo en escala a lo largo de esa década. Me centro en Villa 20 y Villa Cildáñez, aunque extiendo mis observaciones a otras áreas de la capital, trabajando con las voces de quienes las habitaron. Leo al repoblamiento como el intento, por parte de las familias villeras, de recalibrar esa maquinaria de control y desplazamiento establecida por la dictadura en línea con una política espacialmente excluyente; como un modo, implícito y no intencional, de tomar decisiones desde la habitabilidad popular respecto a la distribución de las personas en el territorio. Para efectivizarlo, se continuaron y profundizaron herramientas surgidas de la resistencia a la erradicación durante la dictadura. Este proceso no estuvo, por supuesto, exento de tensiones, y es precisamente el propósito de este artículo explorarlas.
