MOLINA, Eugenia. Water Justice and Community Bonds (San Martín, Mendoza, Argentina), 1814-1859. Secuencia [online]. 2019, n.105, e1515.  Epub 02-Jul-2019. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i105.1515.

This article investigates the practices and representations that regulated water justice in a peripheral territory of the province of Mendoza, during and after the Revolution. The hypothesis posits that the political spatialization of this territory located southeast of the Mendoza campaign was connected to the dynamics of the ties the settlers and owners established among themselves beyond the will of governments. A territory away from the center of power is analyzed because it is believed to be a special observatory for observing the relationship between statehood projects and the behavior of communities active in the management of their resources and, therefore, perhaps more alert to unprecedented government intromissions.
