Resumen
Las tecnologías tradicionales constituyen un sistema que no sólo integra objetos, sino también sujetos y elementos del ambiente. En tierras secas las tecnologías de uso del agua integran saberes que dan cuenta de procesos y articulaciones sociales con las que mitigar las restricciones que la escasez de recursos y sus disputas provocan en la reproducción social de los grupos sociales. Para hacer frente a los procesos de desertificación, la UNCCD promueve el fomento y la utilización de tecnologías locales. Este trabajo aborda la problemática de los saberes locales en territorios sujetos a procesos de desertificación, a partir de la elaboración de un inventario de pozos jagüel en el noreste de Mendoza. Se identifican dos tipologías y se describen los servicios que los dispositivos prestan al interior de los procesos de producción y trabajo. Finalmente se plantean algunos interrogantes relacionados con la capacidad de resiliencia de estos sistemas en las estrategias de conservación de los recursos.
Traditional technologies constitute a heritage system that integrates not only objects but also subjects and environmental resources. In drylands, the water resource is first in order of importance in terms of social reproduction, with a heap of pressures and quarrels arising around it. Water-use technologies in drylands integrate knowledge that gives an account of processes, resources and social articulations with which to mitigate restrictions from resource shortage and the conflicts these provoke around the possibilities of social reproduction of local groups. To deal with desertification processes, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and Mitigate Drought Effects encourages the promotion and use of local traditional technologies, knowledge, experiences and practices. The issue of traditional knowledge in territories under desertification processes is addressed from building up an inventory of “jagüel” wells in the northeast of Mendoza (Argentina). Based on an inventory of approximately 90% of “jagüel” wells still in use and the interviews conducted with users of these devices, we present the two types of jagüeles wells and the services they provide to social reproduction. Finally, new questions are raised about the resilience capacity and use/non-use of these heritage systems in resource conservation strategies.
