Los grupos nómades de la Patagonia y el Chaco en el siglo XVIII: Identidades, espacios, movimientos y recursos económicos ante la situación de contacto. Una reflexión comparativa

Abstract

This paper proposes a comparative consideration of the indigenous groups of Pampa-Patagonia and southern Chaco. By the XVIII century said groups introduced changes in their traditional ways of trading, mobility, acquisition of economic resources and exploitation of natural resources, due to European contact. This approach not only provides new data on the Patagonian and southern Chaco regions, it also allows review of issues on which debate seems to have ended, such us: ethnic group identification, the role of European goods in the economy and the true dimension of nomadism.
