Redefinición de la movilidad cotidiana en los territorios reconfigurados por el neoliberalismo en Chile: el caso del Valle agroindustrial vitivinícola de Colchagua
Abstract
During the four decades, rural territories have experienced a major transformation due to the settlement of the neoliberal archetype in the agricultural ways of production. The consolidation of the agro industrial model implied deep transformations – productive, demographic and territorial, meaning for the local population a redefinition of both its role and its perception of the world and of themselves. Within this framework, we can advise deep transformations in the ways that the subjects live in their territories, and coming from this, in the mobility practices they deploy. Taking as a case study the Colchagua Valley in Chile, this article seeks to analyze these transformations in the way that the subjects mobilize and how they account for the inclusion and exclusions processes that occur in those zones.To carry out this analysis, the emphasis is set on the significant role played by daily trajectories performed by the local population as an expression of the ways the subjects experiment their territory modified by the social and economic system. The objective is to contribute in the understanding of the territorial reconfiguration processes from the paradigm of mobility, applying shadowing ethnographic consistent in the accompaniment of the inhabitants through a daily work routine.
