Resumen
MORINI, Marisa. The Nationalization of the Pampas Border and the Formation of the Argentinean State. Secuencia [online]. 2007, n.67, pp.69-89. ISSN 2395-8464. https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i67.994.
After the 1870s, the Argentinean government concentrated on incorporating the country into the world economic circuit, convinced that this would foster modernization and facilitate social development. One of the most important official objectives was to maximize the benefits of agricultural and stock-raising production through the annexation of land on the inner border. Thus, the Argentinean state implemented coercive intervention to achieve real control of its entire territory and population. The purpose of this text is to develop certain constitutive aspects of the nationalization of the pampas frontier. It examines prior knowledge of the land at a time when it began to be occupied in opposition to the scientific and official knowledge that was constructed as the expedition to the "desert" advanced. This knowledge influenced the patterns of distribución, organization and administration of public land in the late 19th century.
