  • Traces in the landscape. Permanencies and absences as guidelines for the interpretation of the coastal territory. La Guardia - San Javier section. For the Province of Santa Fe, the occupation of floodable areas is a fact in appearance as usual as inevitable, as the its geography is determined by the presence of the strong River Paraná, which defines its East limit with the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes. A series of smaller streams integrate its fluvial system, and in the coast of this river and its tributary there are located important cities, urban centers of medium and minor hierarchy that have also contributed to the particular definition of the territory and coastal landscape. Historically the river is the axis of the communications and the economy of these urban centers and the territories that support them, but also is a potential threat dueto its periodic level rise and the floods it causes. This is the reason why different disciplines and practices involved in the conformation of these areas of high hydric vulnerability are frequently compelled to problematize their knowledge and traditions, matter that this research focuses operating from the field of urbanism and territorial history on a concrete fragment of this territory, between La Guardia and San Javier. In this context, the research intends to identify and comprehend which are the spatial particularities that the coast has acquired in the processes that have determined its construction, that differentiate it and provide its identity. In other words, to explain which are the features that manifest a specific construction culture (fluvial) and distinguish it from the interior (mediterranean) of the Province. In order to accomplish this, the research carefully observes the contemporary landscape, intending to find material and immaterial vestiges, signals or marks of permanencies and hints of ancient occupations that enrich a first, general and inattentive glance, giving special relevance to the physical object orto the vestiges of its presence, understanding that its existence allows to confirm the hypothetical statements of this research, specially the development of its strategies of construction and of its persistence. For the theoretical trame the contributions from the field of urbanism have been relevant, but also of geography, hydric sciences and other disciplines. Also, the notions of territory, landscape, cultural landscape and resilience have been very important. For the methodology, the use of territorial history, multi-scalar analysis and indicia! analysis have been central. The strategies of interpretation and design presented in the research are potentially replicable not only the north and south of the area under analysis, but also to other coastal situations and of interaction with bodies of water. Among the conclusions of major importance that this research arrives it is relevant to highlight the persistence of sorne territorial elements set up by the Hispanic colonization, the recognition of the area landscape as a particular and unique construction in the Province of Santa Fe, strongly determined by t he incomplete modernization of the nineteenth century coastal colonies, the identification of the elements that conform the landscape -natural and manmade- and the development of strategies of resilience or adaptation to the hydric demands, the landscape inter-scalar relationships, and the revision of the concept of corridor to interpret and intervene on the area and its replacement by the idea of rhizome.
