Problematizando el Estado desde la agricultura familiarun estudio exploratorio desde una mirada político-antropológica

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in studying the nexus between the State and family-farm. In order to do this, we take the relationship between this institutional complex and family-farm. That is to say how these subjects perceive the State through their practices. It is common to study the State from its institutional character: the apparatus, its actions and public policies in global terms. In this case, we will study it in a different but complementary perspective, in which the daily role of the encounter between the State and family farm`s subjects will have an essential role. The objective of this paper is to offer possible reflections from an anthropological view of the State that puts into discussion, from the subjects, this institutional complex, its presence and functions. The analysis perspective will be a qualitative type, appealing to written documents and oral testimonies through in-depth interviews. Finally, this is an exploratory research and we intend to continue studying topics related to rural development, public policies and family farm in Argentina.
