POMA, Wilson. Camelid grazing and territorial organization in the free community of Chacaltaya. Temas Sociales [online]. 2024, n.54, pp.69-94.  Epub 01-Maio-2024. ISSN 0040-2915.  https://doi.org/10.53287/fqqj2367vi26k.

The peasant community is not an organization frozen in time, it is a dynamic organization that is committed to entrepreneurship, specializing in different branches of agriculture, in livestock, dairy, camelids and others. The free community of Chacaltaya, in the State La Paz, Bolivia, has a long history - since 1853 - in raising camelids (llamas and alpacas) and this activity has an impact on its territorial organization. The article aims to understand the territorial organization of a community specialized in camelid breeding. For this, methodologically, a qualitative-ethnographic approach was used, accompanied by informal interviews and case monitoring. These are the empirical foundation of the findings, where maps will be presented based on social mapping. The article concludes, based on the findings, that Chacaltaya maintains a territorial organization based on family sayañas and shared areas. This possession is dynamic, since the dimensions/borders between sayañas and shared areas are defined by continuous use, which comes to protect and enforce family and communal boundaries.

Palavras-chave : Chacaltaya community; livestock grazing; territorial organization; land tenure; La Paz-Bolivia.
