SACCUCCI, Erika. The effectuation of the territory in a case of land occupation in Córdoba, Argentina. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.56, pp.125-149.  Epub Aug 30, 2021. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2856-006-2020.

In this investigation we inquire the effectuation of territories in the conflict of land in Cura Vasco, Córdoba, Argentina. The territory is effectuated at the intersection between devices of power and strategies of the subjects in struggle. From the analysis of discourse of thirteen in-depth interviews, we found that the power device that operates in this conflict is the political-administrative one, which emerges as a strategy of the subjects in conflict. The territory that is effectuated is characterized as an intervened territory, by the control of social relations and organizational processes in order to reproduce statehood and avoid social conflict.

Keywords : power devices; strategies; statehood; control; social conflicts; administration.
