El territorio como reinvención de la comunidad rural

La cuestión en torno a la "tenaz supervivencia" de relaciones precapitalistas en el ámbito rural alimentó un extenso debate en el seno de la tradición marxista. El eje de la discusión ha girado en torno al lugar del campesinado en la sociedad capitalista, en tanto grupo social que preserva un vínculo directo con los medios de producción y parece sustraerse al efecto desterritorializador con el que se caracteriza la lógica expansiva del capital. Existen algunas caracterizaciones que en años recientes le han asignado a los movimientos sociales campesinos e indígenas un anclaje territorial como particularidad distintiva. Paradójicamente, la importancia que se le asigna a la dimensión territorial parece consolidarse como un nuevo paradigma después de que los procesos de globalización llegaron a ser asumidos como un sinónimo de desterritorialización Este trabajo sostiene que dicha paradoja puede ser analizada a la luz de una revalorización y reformulación de la comunidad como principio organizador de las relaciones sociales. Es decir, el ?retorno del territorio? implica, en el marco de la reestructuración social operada en los espacios rurales, una reinvención de lo comunitario como principio destinado a preservar el tejido social ante la expansión "desterritorializadora" de la lógica del capital
