NUNEZ, Ana. The Production of Space. Reflections about Relocation of Population. Mar del Plata, 1998-2013. Territ. [online]. 2016, n.34, pp.113-135. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/territ34.2016.05.

Since the early 2000s, many housing programs were promoted in a medium-sized city in Argentina. Two of these programs (Plan Federal y Programa Dignidad) led to what is known as war for houses' between the potential beneficiaries, because of the years of censuses, records, and rankings which determine who, when and where would be awarded with such a precious object. The aim of this text is to dialectically analyze the connection between the programs and the relocation process of the population and bureaucracy in order to uncover the epistemological obstacles that aggravate the problem in question. Accompanied by ideas of Henri Lefebvre, this research will focus on the interrelation and transformation of three moments that overlap dialectically in the space production, and how it permeates the social interdependencies in everyday life, transfiguring the personifica-tions according to the sense that everyone gives to the soil and housing. This research's process of knowledge is methodologically anchored in an extensive, deep fieldwork and documentary analysis taking the city of Mar del Plata as unit of study.

Keywords : Bureaucracy; Personifications; Space-time production; Housing programs.
