Urban Memory, neighborhood landscape and industrialization in Cordoba
This article proposes to analyze spatial senses and memories regarding the process of industrialization and urbanization in Cordoba (Argentina) between the decades of the 50's and the 60's. The analysis is based on ethnographic work conducted in the Santa Isabel neighborhood, a site of the city of Cordoba where in 1955 a car factory was placed, in the heat of the metal-mechanical industry momentum in our country. The analysis of this area raises questions about studies that assume the period of industrialization and urbanization as a time of transformation and growth, without paying attention to the experiences and subjectivities of the inhabitants of the city or the agency at stake. In order to take a close look at those experiences, the paper discusses file records of the neighborhood community center Santa Isabel on the activities and neighborhood complaints in those decades, as well as narratives of the neighbors about that time. The paper shows the relevance of understanding the historical processes through local spaces and temporalities, in order to penetrate the networks that support these processes and the ways in which the past is constructed and produces meaning in the present.
