Multi-territoriality refers to experiencing several territories at the same time, and implies a social and historical construction of the resulting space. Therefore, this space becomes a hybrid between nature and society, materiality and ideality. In this article, a mixed methodological design is presented. A set of research questions have been selected for guiding the study of Bolivian migrants settled in the rururban fringe of the city of Santa Fe (Argentina): How multiple territorialities are constructed in the rururban space? What processes intervene during the reterritorialisation of Bolivian migrants? Which territorial dimensions prevail in each sub-period of the historical construction of these territories? What resulting shapes can be identified today within this rururban territory? Finally, the finding ways of pluriactivity and neo-rurality helps explain the strategies used to manage conflicts, as new categories, and experiences related to the hybridity theory. This finding may also facilitate a diagnosis of the territorial morphology.

Keywords : multiple territorialities; reterritorialisation; rururban system; pluriactivity; neorurality.
