description The Province of El Loa, historically inhabited by the Andean population dedicated to agriculture, herding and exchange activities, has occupied a strategic place in the expansion of Chilean copper industry and its international insertion. Here is located Chuquicamata, the largest copper mine in the world by an important part of the 20th century. To advance in the understanding of the territory that produces this activity, we carry out a historical-structural analysis of the agriculture practiced in the province between 1929/30 and 2006/07. We characterize analytically the agrarian transformations of the area relating their development with the expansion of the great copper mining. Theoretically, we position ourselves from the paradigm of the agrarian question, which we re-problematize by linking it with the studies on extractivism. Methodologically we use descriptive statistics of agricultural censuses for the characterization of the agrarian structure, and historical and secondary sources that allow us to understand their connections with the copper exploitation.

La provincia de El Loa, habitada históricamente por población andina dedicada a actividades agrícolas, pastoriles y de intercambio, ha ocupado un lugar estratégico en la expansión del extractivismo cuprífero chileno y su inserción internacional. Ahí se emplaza Chuquicamata, la que fuera durante parte importante del siglo XX la mina de cobre más grande del mundo. Para avanzar en la comprensión de las transformaciones territoriales que produce esta actividad, efectuamos un análisis histórico-estructural de la agricultura de la provincia entre 1929/30 y 2006/07. Caracterizamos analíticamente las transformaciones agrarias de la zona relacionando su desenvolvimiento con la expansión de la gran minería cuprífera. Teóricamente, nos posicionamos desde el paradigma de la cuestión agraria, reproblematizado a partir de los estudios sobre el extractivismo. En términos metodológicos, usamos estadísticas descriptivas de censos agropecuarios para caracterizar la estructura agraria, y fuentes históricas y secundarias para comprender sus conexiones con la explotación cuprífera. 2020-12-28 2022-03-22T15:04:25Z 2022-03-22T15:04:25Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/3361 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2020-0042 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80318 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/3361/3681 Derechos de autor 2020 Matías Calderón, Manuel Prieto http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Católica del Norte, Instituto de Investigaciones Arqueológicas y Museo Estudios Atacameños; No. 66 (2020); 387-417 Estudios Atacameños (En línea); Núm. 66 (2020); 387-417 0718-1043 0716-0925
