La materialidad como artilugio historiográfico. espacios, mapas y asentamientos coloniales en la costa patagónica (siglo XVIII) by Marcia Bianchi Villelli

“…a fines del siglo XV iii , la colonia española diseñó el plan de poblamiento de la costa patagónica con el objetivo de reafirmar su presencia en el área. e sta presentación tiene como punto de partida discutir el «relato maestro» que la historiografía argentina ha puesto en juego, como la naturalización implícita de los límites de los e stados n acionales hacia el pasado así como el desconocimiento de la historicidad, espacialidad y dinámicas sociales pre-existentes en la región patagónica. e n particular, me interesa problematizar qué rol juega la materialidad en los supuestos de un espacio homogéneo, vacío y llano, circunscripto a la línea costera atlántica, disociado de los procesos y las poblaciones indígenas del interior patagónico y del área transandina. e sto nos permite, pues, hipotetizar que la «manifiesta» materialidad de los asentamientos funcionó como artilugio que habilitó a desdibujar la configuración colonial específica de relaciones sociales de ocupación, dominación, intercambio y producción; a la vez que se configuró como punto de reproducción de relato del e stado-nación.…”
