== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.
