Abstract

COMERCI, María Eugenia. Exchange relationships in western pampas: the role of street vendors. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2015, vol.18. ISSN 1853-4392.

In the far west of the province of La Pampa persist cultural, productive and relational practices rooted from the early twentieth century. Among the traditional agents that have historically interacted with area producers stand street vendors or hawkers. Through these dense networks they have provided to producers of consumer goods. In the article aims to explore the established historical ties between street vendors and farmers, paths and business strategies engendered in the past and in the present. Relations between peddlers and producers intermediaries are studied through testimonials and crossing data obtained in office work and field in Chos Malal and the Humada. Finally we examine the factors that make the persistence of certain reporting relationships between traders and farmers who live in rural places.

Keywords : Itinerant traders; Unequal exchange.
