| Sumario: | There is ample research documenting how the process of capital expansion has modified peasant and indigenous ways of life on a planetary scale; however, when thinking about rural territorialities in the neoliberal crisis horizon, there are theoretical and methodological knots that require a political inquiry on the variegated social formation. This article questions the theoretical-political conditions surrounding ethnographic work in rural areas whose capitalist social structures have not been fully developed and coexist with legal and social forms of pre-capitalist formation. Based on an ethnographic methodological proposal that combines theoretical conceptualization, documentary analysis and participant observation in rural peasant and indigenous territories of Malargüe (Mendoza, Argentina), elements are provided here for a notion of ‘variegated ethnography’ as an emerging modality of anthropological, political and sociological study of the peasant and indigenous universe in Latin America. |
