El ambiente nativo en el norte de Mendoza, redes y modos de relación desde una comprensión indígena

摘要

In this paper, I propose to question the concept of environment to study indigenous societies in the north of Mendoza. Specifically, using a relational perspective, I intend to outline the general modalities of linkage inherent to the environment and the indigenous ways of dwelling. With this aim in mind, I analyze historical, archaeological, and ethnographic backgrounds using both interpretative proposals as well as the sources and data there presented. I observe this information following the procedure of re-assembly of collectives, reasoned from an indigenous perspective, which involves understanding the problem from outside the society-environment duality, and more specifically in terms of sociability. This allows rediscovering associations and ways of relating, as well as to construct problems and perspectives not usually considered in the historical and archaeological regional bibliography.
