Abstract

CASALDERREY ZAPATA, Constanza  and  TOZZINI, M. Alma. From counting trees to painting location. Governmentality and enforcement of the Law 26331 of Native Forests in Patagonia. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2020, n.34, pp.131-153.  Epub Feb 26, 2021. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n34.07.

Drawing from our ethnographic work in Rio Negro and Chubut, we propose to account for articulations between agents, their knowledge and interests, and how those articulations helped shape participative processes within the framework of their respective Territorial Orderings of Native Forests. In order to do that, different edges of the concept of governmentality outlined by Foucault were chosen. On the one hand, we intend to show that the ordering referred to, including its participative instance, can be best understood as a security device, as it intends to define the boundaries of acceptable uses of the resource, and in doing that, it regulates population. The question about how and whom participated in the definition of those boundaries can be addressed both from the category of the public interest, since this same interest is proposed as a result of calculation. Finally, we suggest how ethnography and the genealogical method nurture each other.
