Rural school of San Eduardo
Rural school of San Eduardo and around, Trenque Lauquen, Argentina
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.
