El mapa, entre el consenso y el desacuerdo. Una reflexión a partir del Ordenamiento Territorial de los Bosques Nativos para la región andina de Río Negro, 2007- 2015

Abstract

The thesis has as starting point the question of how the State manages the environment as a common. It focuses on a particular policy, the Land Use Plan for Native Forests (LUPNF), specifically on how it was carried out and revised in the province of Río Negro. The hypothesis, following a Foucauldian thread, is that the map of said order is an instrument, and not a mere representation, of a calculation of interests proper to neoliberal governmentality. Its result is presented as a consensus, and from there a common interest is built. The calculation is presented as a guarantee of said consensus, being cartography, more specifically Geographic Information Systems, its condition of possibility. It is shown that although the LUPNF effectively functions as a (calculation) security dispositif, it also has a democratizing potential that could subvert the depoliticizing effect of consensus, as long as social participation is not reduced to the variables of a calculation.
