Old Trajectories, New Organisations: An Analysis of Territorial Transformations in Urban-Rural Relations in the Argentinean PampasAnciens chemins nouveaux liens: Une analyse des transformations territoriales et des rapports rural-urbains dans la pampa argentine.

The objective of this paper is to show convergent processes and existing contradictions in rural areas (RA) in the southeast of the Argentinean Pampas in order to interpret and explain the different trajectories (according to contexts of time and space) that the actors follow in order to join a multi-scale environment that is both exclusive and changing. The study was carried out by means of methodological triangulation. Part of the results show that hegemonic dynamics take control over natural resources and delocalise local connections in order to favour foreign ones. Under this scheme, socio-territorial conflicts arise in the form of the exclusion of actors from territories and institutional decay.

Keywords : Territorial dynamics; Argentinean Pampas; Rural community development; urban community development; marginality; cultural conflict; La Pampa (Province, Argentina).
