Territoriality, space fluxes and juxtaposed transit modalities on the Western Valleys road network (X-XX centuries)

The Andean trail network constitutes a cultural heritage that sustained a continuous use from pre-Hispanic times until the second half of the twentieth century.

Research on the mobility practices in the Andes, carried out at the side of the roads that cross the Atacama Desert, have revealed a more complex and dynamic panorama than what was initially proposed by the theoretical models.

Esta persistencia temporal convierte al sistema de caminos en archivos materiales e inmateriales de la historia regional, lo que fundamenta la importancia de su estudio desde una perspectiva arqueológica durante las últimas décadas. Investigaciones sobre las prácticas de movilidad en los Andes realizadas a la vera de los caminos del Desierto de Atacama, han revelado un panorama más complejo y dinámico que el inicialmente propuesto desde los modelos teóricos. Reconstruimos y analizamos la estructuración del sistema de caminos y senderos a partir de fotointerpretación de imágenes satelitales, complementada con información cartográfica y etnográfica. Luego evaluamos el rol de los caminos y las prácticas de movilidad para la construcción de la territorialidad indígena y su significación para la comprensión de las dinámicas sociales y las diferentes formas de habitarlo. Concluimos que la red vial se conformó a partir de la confluencia de modalidades de tránsito diversas y multidireccionales, delatando continuidades en el uso del espacio relacionadas con prácticas espaciales que hunden sus raíces en tiempos precoloniales.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/4928 10.34096/rtt.i18.4928 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/4928/4422 Revista Transporte y Territorio; No. 18 (2018): (enero-junio) - Caminos; 40-69 Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 18 (2018): (enero-junio) - Caminos; 40-69 1852-7175 mobility trail networks ancient roads memory South Central Andes movilidad redes viales caminos troperos memoria Andes Centro Sur Territoriality, space fluxes and juxtaposed transit modalities on the Western Valleys road network (X-XX centuries) Territorialidad, flujos espaciales y modalidades de tránsito yuxtapuestas en la red vial de los Valles Occidentales (siglos X-XX) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=transter&d=4928_oai

description The Andean trail network constitutes a cultural heritage that sustained a continuous use from pre-Hispanic times until the second half of the twentieth century. This temporary persistence turns the road system into material and immaterial archives of the regional history, which underlies the importance of its study from an archaeological perspective during the last decades. Research on the mobility practices in the Andes, carried out at the side of the roads that cross the Atacama Desert, have revealed a more complex and dynamic panorama than what was initially proposed by the theoretical models.
