Pampean Infrastructure Palimpsest
State Selectivity, Patterns, and Principles of Socio-Spatial Structuring
Keywords:
INFRASTRUCTURES, SPATIAL PATTERNS, STATE SELECTIVITY, SPATIAL STRUCTURING, TECHNO-ECONOMIC PARADIGMS
Abstract
The palimpsest of infrastructures that characterizes contemporary territories reflects the historical cycles of capital valorization through investment in new technology. However, it remains an opaque landscape. The patterns of diffusion of these technologies, particularly their uneven and incomplete nature, are still not fully understood. This exploratory research characterizes the different geological layers of the infrastructures that constitute the Pampean region of Argentina, aiming to reveal the process of selectivity employed by the state and global capital in response to accumulation crises and the emergence of each techno-economic paradigm.Downloads
