CEJAS, Noelia. To Decolonize Rural Habitat. An Analysis of the Colonial Matrix of Public Housing Policies in Córdoba (Argentina). Territ. [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.224-245.  Epub 01-Abr-2021. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.8150.

The article recovers the reflections from the decolonial perspective, especially conceptualizations that Rita Segato (2013) makes around the notion of "coloniality of power", a concept originally coined by the Peruvian sociologist Aníbal Quijano. I intend to address housing policies aimed at rural peasant communities in the provincial northwest, promoted by the Government of the Province of Córdoba (Argentina). Specifically, will analyze the Plan de Sustitución de Viviendas Precarias y Erradicación del Mal de Chagas (Plan for the Substitution of Precarious Housing and the Eradication of Chagas Disease), which is part of the Programa de Desarrollo del Noroeste Cordobés (Northwest Cordovan Development Program). For this analysis, I will use the argumental axes that Segato defines to organize his critique of the colonial order. The assumption that guides the work consists in pointing out -critically- the colonial matrix that underlies the territorial interventions in rural communities, producing effects of affirmation of exclusion through welfare and purportedly compensatory policies.

Palabras clave : Decolonial; coloniality of power; housing policy; rural; peasant.
