Dinámicas de desterritorialización y reterritorialización en Purmamarca, Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO: Quebrada de Humahuaca (Argentina)

UNESCO's designation of Argentina's Quebrada de Humahuaca as a World Heritage Site in 2003 triggered profound territorial transformations in the town of Purmamarca, marked by exponential growth in tourism infrastructure and a decline in residential space. This study reveals how these changes precipitated a process of precarization, prompting local residents to organize into indigenous communities to secure land rights, housing, and other entitlements. Researchers employed a multi-method approach, combining archival analysis, satellite imagery, fieldwork, photographic documentation, and interviews to trace the dynamics of desterritorialization and reterritorialization in Purmamarca.
