Abstract

LAURA SALOMON, Alejandra  and  DE MARCO, Celeste. Voices and views on rural children: A proposal for new approaches (Argentina, mid-20th century). Apuntes [online]. 2018, vol.45, n.83, pp.175-203. ISSN 0252-1865.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.21678/apuntes.83.921.

The present work intends to explore the rural well-being from a historical point of view, through the case of the agricultural colony 17 de Octubre, known after as La Capilla (Florencio Varela, Buenos Aires) founded in 1951 and located in a transitional space between the countryside and the city. In this sense, personal memories and family protographs supports this hypothesis: precariousness of living conditions are not always assumed as such. It confirms the necessity of take into account subjective dimensions of well-being, in intersection with values and aspirations, with time and space coordinates.

Keywords : Country life; children; rural families; rural development; documentary photography; Argentina.
