Recuerdos del movimiento. Cuerpo, paisaje y memoria en la Quebrada de Humahuaca

A study of the Quebrada de Humahuaca reveals how changes in mobility and landscape use have reshaped the bodily experience of rural inhabitants and their social memory. The research found that the construction of new vehicular routes and shifts in livelihood strategies altered how people move through the landscape, impacting both individual and collective memory transmission. Using an anthropological approach rooted in experiential analysis, the study employed participatory walks with residents across generations, combined with open-ended interviews conducted during these walks and in community settings. This methodology allowed for a nuanced exploration of personal histories and social memory, highlighting the dynamic interplay between movement, landscape, and cultural heritage.
