| الملخص: | The Mesopotamian region (Argentina) was historically separated from the rest of the territory by the presence of the Paraná River, one of the ten largest rivers in the world. This physical isolation was solved in the second half of the 20th century through road works, in a political and economic framework guided by developmentalism as a theoretical model. The infrastructures built for this purpose made use of concrete and steel technologies to achieve their functional objectives and currently do not go unnoticed in the natural setting that surrounds them. The study selects three works referring to territorial connections: Complejo ferrovial Zárate-Brazo Largo, Túnel Subfluvial Uranga-Sylvestre Begnis and Puente General Manuel Belgrano; as artifacts, they enter in relation with the other components of the landscape that encompassed them. The notion of technological sublime is retaken and the cases of study are analysed in the light of this category, considering their production contexts and giving an account of its importance, both for the State (in what the construction of the territory meant) and for society (in the constitution of a technological imaginary over time). |
