| Sumario: | This article analyses recent transformations in El Impenetrable -a region of the Province of Chaco, Argentina- with an emphasis on statehood, territory and violence interaction. It examines the spatial reorganizations of recent Chaco’s governments focusing on the policy of valorization of the native forest since the creation of El Impenetrable National Park. The study reconstructs the interventions derived from its master plan considering, as background information, the impact of the Conquest of the West during the civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983). The methodology includes the analysis of state documents, images and journalistic sources. This paper argues that the current tourist and conservationist valuation of El Impenetrable can be explained by examining the intervention of the provincial government in the 1970s, a process in which the region was established as a territory with a dual character: natural and productive. |
