Keys to think territories from oral history

Abstract

In this article we intend to explain a set of theoretical reflections derived from the Research Project "Historical reconstruction of neighborhood spaces and their problems. From the memory of the neighbors "carried out during the period 2016-2017. In particular, we analyze the presence of the State and other social actors in the processes of solving social problems in the Revol, Bella Vista, Observatorio and Alberdi neighborhoods of the city of Córdoba, from the perspective of oral history, that is, of history made body by the neighbors and referents of social organizations. Different concepts such as social space, territory, neighborhood, among others, were synthesized in the diverse histories of a  specific social and territorial space that was built and resignified by  them, giving them common elements and, at the same time, differentiated. The conjunction between oral history and territory is a tool that nourishes the analytical perspective and intervention of Social Work and other professions linked to neighborhood and territorial processes, at the same time, which strengthens strategies for solving social problems from the perspective of neighbors and their organizations.
