SALVI, Valeria Franco; SALAZAR, Julián  and  BERBERIAN, Eduardo E. Paisajes persistentes, temporalidades múltiples y dispersión aldeana en el valle de Tafí (provincia de Tucumán, Argentina). Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.2, pp.307-322. ISSN 1850-373X.

The study focused on the construction of the village landscape in the northern sector of Tafí Valley, resulting in the identification of the multiple temporalities that cross-cut it. This contrasts with previous approaches that conceived and historicized such villages in a linear and unitemporal fashion. The following hypothesis was tested: that the concentration of settlements or scattering of household compounds in Tafí valley can be explained on the basis of the practices carried out by persons constituted as members of large domestic groups with segmentary and highly competitive identities. The dispersion and concentration of settlements occurred at different times and as a result of a social logic that persisted for almost a millennium. The study of this logic could be a starting point for understanding the processes of village dispersion at larger spatial scales.
