| Zusammenfassung: | The present work starts from two theoretical approaches; on the one hand a spatial dimension to point out rural territories and peasant habitat´s particularities, in the other hand, introduces political ecology´s discussions about sustainability that strain dominant narratives (referring to Agenda 2030 of the United Nations). The article assumes that peasant living represents practices that can be compared to a popular environmentalism, due to its harmonic relationship with nature. This assumption is approached from threeaxes: 1) small-scale production, 2) construction materials, design and technics, and 3) overlapping functionalities; and it is analyzed on the base of study cases in the northwest region of Córdoba, Argentina. However, extractivist productive system and the provincial public policies (analyzed from the “Plan de Desarrollo del Noroeste Cordobés”) transform rural territory, denying peasant habitat as a legitimate contemporary way of living. As a conclusion, this study highlights the tensions over sustainability concept, and the need to recover popular environmentalism actions in these debates. |
