Abstract
Description
Durante la década del ´90 la provincia norpatagónica de Neuquén vive un intenso proceso caracterizado por una fuerte conflictividad social, anclada en un contexto particular y con diversos actores como protagonistas, con renovados contenidos y prácticas, aunque también impregnada por el rescate de ciertas tradiciones discursivas que remiten a un pasado combativo. Lo distintivo de Neuquén y que pretendo señalar aquí, parece ser la configuración de un campo de protesta social que se despliega en dos direcciones: a) como lugar simbólico para el resto de los fenómenos de protesta social en la Argentina de la década del ’90 (p.e. las organizaciones piqueteras), y b) como momento emergente de una cultura política que tras las puebladas cutralquenses de 1996/97 adquiere un claro perfil contestatario.
During the 90’s, the northern patagonic province of Neuquén goes through a very intense process, marked by strong social conflicts, anchored in a special context and with different kinds of actors in the leading roles. This process includes new practices and contents, though it is also permeated by certain speech traditions that reminds of a struggling pass. The distinctive tract of Neuquen –and I intend to point it here- seems to be the creation of a field for social protest that spreads towards two directions: a) as a symbolic place for the rest of the social protest phenomena in the 90’s of Argentina (v.g., the “piqueteros” (picketing) organizations), and b) as the emerging moment of a political culture that gets a clear defiant profile, after the village upraisings of Cutral Co during 1996/7.
