Resumen
En este artículo, propongo una lectura en clave foucaultiana de la denominada “Conquista del Desierto”, que tuvo lugar en Argentina durante el siglo XIX, como acontecimiento fundacional de la formación de su Estado-nación y de su sociedad, y cuyos efectos siguen aún vigentes en el actual escenario político, económico, social y cultural del país. Luego de una breve presentación de la “Conquista del Desierto”, examino los conceptos y las orientaciones que el pensamiento foucaultiano ofrece para analizar dicho acontecimiento y sus implicancias y derivas. A continuación, esbozo algunas ideas, herramientas y líneas de estudio y comprensión del acontecimiento “Conquista del Desierto” a partir de investigaciones que se derivan del pensamiento foucaultiano o discuten con él y que atienden a las particularidades y especificidades de dicho acontecimiento. Finalmente, presento una serie de conclusiones tentativas acerca de las ideas, las herramientas y las orientaciones analizadas, sopesando sus alcances y potencialidades, a modo de epílogo de las cuestiones planteadas.
In this article, I propose a Foucauldian reading of the so-called Conquest of the Desert, which took place in Argentina during the 19th century. This event played a foundational role in the formation of the Argentinian nation-state and its society, and its effects are still present in the current political, economic, social, and cultural scenario of the country. After a brief presentation of the “Conquest of the Desert”, I examine the concepts that the Foucauldian thought offers to analyze this event and its implications and derivations. Then, I outline ideas, tools and lines of study that can help understand the event, extracted from research developed following the Foucauldian thought, or which discuss with it and attend to the particularities and specificities of the event. Finally, I present the conclusions that resulted from analyzing the ideas, tools, and orientations, and weigh their scope and potential, as an epilogue to the issues raised.
