| description | This article analyzes the social production of space in Atenquique, an industrial town in the southern region of Jalisco in western Mexico. The theoretical framework draws on insights from critical geography. Through the case of Atenquique we reflect on the transformation of the area from the beginning of the neoliberal period in Mexico. Neoliberalism ushered in the growth of precarious and insecure working conditions, something which has deepened over the past several decades. The methodology employed is based on ethnographic research undertaken over a period of four months in Atenquique. During this time period we used three different audiovisual methods to collect information: photography, oral history and the production of an ethnographic documentary film. The results of the study show how the ex-inhabitants of Atenquique have knit together complex constructions- both material and symbolic- that provide insight on how the changes of the past several decades have affected the area. In the conclusions, we return to the broader debates on the local and territorial consequences of the implementation of the neoliberal policies in Mexico. |

Este artículo estudia, desde el marco teórico de la geografía crítica, la producción social del espacio en Atenquique, un poblado industrial en la región sur del estado de Jalisco en el occidente mexicano. A partir del caso de estudio, se reflexiona acerca de la transformación del territorio a raíz de la entrada del neoliberalismo al país y sobre la precarización laboral profundizada en las últimas décadas. La metodología se sustenta en el trabajo etnográfico durante cuatro meses en el lugar, apoyado en tres metodologías audiovisuales: recorridos con cámara, historia oral y producción de un documental etnográfico. Los resultados del caso de estudio muestran las complejas construcciones –materiales y simbólicas– que los ex habitantes de Atenquique han tejido sobre el territorio, así como el cambio que se le ha dado al mismo. Por último, las conclusiones vuelven a debates amplios sobre las consecuencias territoriales y sociales de la implementación del modelo neoliberal en México. Este artigo estuda, a partir do marco teórico da geografia crítica, a produção social do espaço em Atenquique, um povoado industrial na região sul do estado de Jalisco, no oeste do México. A partir do estudo de caso, refletimos sobre a transformação do território como resultado da entrada do neoliberalismo no país e sobre a precarização do trabalho aprofundada nas últimas décadas. A metodologia baseia-se no trabalho etnográfico durante quatro meses no local, apoiado em três metodologias audiovisuais: percursos com câmera, história oral e produção de um documentário etnográfico. Os resultados do estudo de caso mostram as complexas construções - materiais e simbólicas - que os ex-habitantes de Atenquique têm tecido sob o território, bem como a mudança que lhe foi dada ao mesmo. Finalmente, as conclusões retornam a amplos debates sobre as consequências territoriais e sociais da implementação do modelo neoliberal no México.
