description | In the last decades, Argentine rurality has changed and, along with it, so have peasants’ conditions of subordination in the capitalist system. This article dismisses the false paths to which abstract models of the peasantry as a “concept” lead; our argument is based on detailing the characteristics of the direct producers in the current context in which they live. Through documentary research on agrarian social studies, we compiled a corpus with the main academic and state-produced contributions referring to similar socioeconomic, political, and cultural issues about the peasantry and we present this as a “first peasant question”, focused on the period between 1970 and 2000. Then, we present six theses that cut across the current social experiences of family farmers: social decomposition and exclusion; the eco-territorial turn; the emergence of social movements; re-ethnicization; agroecology and food sovereignty, and statehood. We conclude that these topics have opened a “new question” that points to lines of research with new theoretical and epistemological consensuses for understanding the actually existing Argentine peasantry.

En las últimas cuatro décadas la ruralidad argentina ha cambiado, y junto con ella las condiciones de subordinación del campesinado al sistema capitalista. En el presente artículo nos proponemos abandonar los falsos caminos a los que conduce elaborar modelos abstractos de lo campesino como “concepto”; nuestro argumento se basa en desarrollar las características que tienen productoras y productores directos en el actual contexto que les toca vivir. A través de una investigación documental de los estudios sociales agrarios, elaboramos un corpus con los principales aportes de trabajos académicos y estatales que reúnen las problemáticas socioeconómicas, políticas y culturales similares en torno al campesinado y lo catalogamos como una “primera cuestión campesina”, concentrada en el periodo 1970-2000. Luego, se plantean seis tesis que atraviesan la experiencia social actual de las producciones familiares: la descomposición y exclusión social; el giro ecoterritorial; el surgimiento de movimientos sociales; la reetnización; la agroecología; y la soberanía alimentaria y la estatalidad. Se concluye que estos tópicos han inaugurado una “nueva cuestión” que apunta a la construcción de líneas de investigación con nuevos consensos teóricos y epistemológicos para comprender al campesinado argentino realmente existente. Nas últimas quatro décadas, a ruralidade argentina mudou e com ela as condições de subordinação do campesinato ao sistema capitalista. Neste artigo propomos abandonar os falsos caminhos que levam ao desenvolvimento de modelos abstratos do camponês como “conceito”: nosso argumento baseia-se no desenvolvimento das características que os produtores diretos possuem no atual contexto em que vivem. Através de uma investigação documental dos estudos sociais agrários, elaboramos um corpus com as principais contribuições de trabalhos acadêmicos e estatais que reúnem problemas socioeconômicos, políticos e culturais semelhantes em torno do campesinato e classificamos como uma “primeira questão camponesa”, concentrada no período 1970-2000. Em seguida, são propostas seis teses que percorrem a atual experiência social das produções familiares: decomposição e exclusão social; o giro ecoterritorial; o surgimento dos movimentos sociais; reetnicização; agroecologia; e, soberania alimentar e Estado. Conclui-se que estes temas inauguraram uma “nova questão” que aponta para a construção de linhas de pesquisa com novos consensos teóricos e epistemológicos para compreender o campesinato argentino verdadeiramente existente.
