Composiciones familiares y configuraciones matrimoniales en redes genealógicas indígenas del oriente jujeño, Siglo XIX

Gregory Bateson proposes as the goal of his reflections in Mind and Nature the notion of “the pattern which connects” through questions such as what is the pattern which connects all living creatures? We have chosen as the object of our analysis, however, a fractal dimension of that, restricted to the links developed at the core of socio-cultural reproduction. Our interest is to recognize and analyze social configurations that develop kinship links and his occupation of a spatial and temporarily delimited region by a discrete set of indigenous peasant families. That is, the criteria, regularities and trends shown by these sets in their most basic and primary aspects: those that structures regulate and distribute the social reproduction through domestic organization and marriage alliances. The materials chosen for this task are from peasants indigenous reconstructed genealogy kin sets from nineteenth century. Our analytical strategy is based on Kinship Network Analysis and Graph Theory.
