Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el proceso de ennoblecimiento del barrio del Abasto de Buenos Aires. Abordaré aquí el período que se inicia en 1997, época en que comenzaron las obras de reciclaje del antiguo Mercado del Abasto para ser transformado en un shopping, así como el desalojo de casas tomadas1 en los alrededores del Mercado. Lo patrimonial y lo cultural resultan argumentos en apariencia neutrales para echar intrusos, pues se los desaloja “por su propio bien”, o para defender el espacio público. Mi supuesto es que lo cultural-histórico-patrimonial es vivido como auténtico, como pieza única insustituible, por encima de cualquier fin social que pasa a ser considerado contingente, masivo, y por tanto, intercambiable.
The objective of this article is to analyze the gentrification process of the Abasto district in Buenos Aires. The period considered began in 1997, when the renovation works that transformed the Abasto Market Place into a shopping mall were commenced, as well as eviction of squatters from houses (“casas tomadas”2) in the vicinity. Culture and heritage resulted in apparently neutral arguments to expel the intruders, since they are evicted “for their own good” or to defend public space. The hypothesis presented by the author is that cultural-historical heritage is experienced as an authentic, unique, irreplaceable piece, above any social consideration, which is regarded as contingent, massive, and, thus, interchangeable.
