Resumen
En el presente artículo pretendo analizar la especificidad del proceso patrimonial en su trayectoria local asociado a una ex estación ferroviaria de la ciudad de Olavarría, provincia de Buenos Aires. Dicho proceso se articula principalmente a partir de la demanda por parte de una mutual de arte popular hacia el estado local y provincial por el uso y recuperación del edificio de la ex estación y su transformación en un centro cultural de gestión comunitaria. Abordar el proceso de puesta en valor de la ex estación implica visibilizar las especificidades, contradicciones y pugnas asociadas a territorios relacionados con vestigios materiales o ruinas industriales. Es por ello que el análisis se enfoca en los discursos y acciones en torno a los usos, funcionalidades y proyectos del sitio. La Vieja Estación, como es denominada de forma nativa, dejó de funcionar en 1968 tras la clausura del ferrocarril a causa del Plan Larkin, para luego tener diversos usos sociales dependientes del estado provincial. El proceso de patrimonialización ha intensificado una serie de significaciones y valoraciones en torno a la Vieja Estación que, a partir de distintas estrategias de construcción y reconstrucción de memorias colectivas por parte de una mutual de arte popular, se articulan en el reclamo por la recuperación y transformación del sitio en un centro cultural comunitario.
In this article I intend to analyze the specificity of the heritage process in its local trajectory associated with a former railway station in the city of Olavarría, province of Buenos Aires. This process is articulated in the demand by a Popular Art Mutual to the local and provincial state for the use and recovery of the former station building and its transformation into a community-run cultural center. Addressing the process of heritage designation of the former station involves making visible its specificities, contradictions and struggles associated with territories related to material vestiges or industrial ruins. For this reason, I propose to analyze the process of valorization of the former station based on the analysis of various discourses and actions around the heritage designation of the site that appeal to heritage, as well as the responses of the government at its different levels. The Old Station, as it is known locally, ceased to operate in 1968, after the closure of the railroad due to the Larkin Plan, and then had various social uses dependent on the provincial state. The process of patrimonialization has intensified a series of meanings and values around the Old Station which, based on different strategies of construction and reconstruction of collective memories by a Mutual de Arte Popular, are articulated in the demand for the recovery and transformation of the site into a community cultural center.
