Sumario:This paper analyzes common issues for Geography and Political Ecology related both to the need to understand the territorial processes of construction of productive identities, and to the identification of the problems arising from unequal exposure and the selective vulnerability of the territories to derived conflicts by the action of capitalism. For this, the process of consolidation of cotton cultivation in the Chaco (northern Argentina) is examined as an example that allows us to reflect on the construction of cotton territoriality and the pressures exerted on it by the new dominant forms of production of business agriculture.
