In much anglophone literature it has been conceptualized as a top-down outcome of controlling space, usually by the state. Latin American literatures, in contrast, have tended to emphasize the emancipatory potential of bottom-up struggles seeking territory for autonomy. This paper advances on the understanding of territory as a set of entangled and overlapping strategies and, in doing so, moves away from attempts to conceptualize it through a bottom-up (e.g. social movements) versus top-down (e.g. the state) dichotomy. In order to do so, recent literature on socioterritorial movements –movements for whom territory is central to their strategy– and some of the overlapping and entangled power relations will be examined and explored. The article is organized in three sections, which corresponds to particularly visible strategies of socioterritorial movements in the region from recent decades. El territorio ha sido foco de análisis en diversas investigaciones. En gran parte de la literatura anglosajona ha sido conceptualizado como un resultado desde arriba de control del espacio, frecuentemente encarnado por el Estado. En contraste, los trabajos latinoamericanos suelen hacer hincapié en la potencia emancipadora de las luchas por el territorio en búsqueda de la autonomía. Este artículo avanza en una comprensión del concepto de territorio como estrategias superpuestas e intrincadas y, de esa manera, va más allá de los intentos por entenderlo como una dicotomía involucrada en procesos de construcción desde arriba (el Estado, por ejemplo) o desde abajo (los movimientos sociales). Para ello, examina literatura reciente sobre movimientos socioterritoriales –movimientos para los cuales la apropiación del espacio es el objetivo central de su estrategia– y explora algunas relaciones de poder. El artículo está organizado en tres secciones, las cuales corresponden a estrategias particularmente visibles de los movimientos socioterritoriales en las últimas décadas en la región. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9701 10.34096/ps.n3.9701 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9701/8512 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/9701/8530 Punto Sur; No. 3 (2020): Geografía, política y resistencia en América Latina; 131-152 Punto Sur; Núm. 3 (2020): Geografía, política y resistencia en América Latina; 131-152 2683-7404 territory strategy socioterritorial movements power relations Latin America territorio estrategia movimientos socioterritoriales relaciones de poder América Latina Contested territory: political strategies and socioterritorial movements El Territorio en disputa: estrategias políticas y movimientos socioterritoriales info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=puntosur&d=9701_oai

description Territory has been focus of analysis in diverse literatures. In much anglophone literature it has been conceptualized as a top-down outcome of controlling space, usually by the state. Latin American literatures, in contrast, have tended to emphasize the emancipatory potential of bottom-up struggles seeking territory for autonomy. This paper advances on the understanding of territory as a set of entangled and overlapping strategies and, in doing so, moves away from attempts to conceptualize it through a bottom-up (e.g. social movements) versus top-down (e.g. the state) dichotomy. In order to do so, recent literature on socioterritorial movements –movements for whom territory is central to their strategy– and some of the overlapping and entangled power relations will be examined and explored. The article is organized in three sections, which corresponds to particularly visible strategies of socioterritorial movements in the region from recent decades.
