"Between conservation and production. An ethnographic perspective on the disputes over the production of vicuña fiber in Northwestern Argentina".
The research analyzes the ongoing transformation in the productive system centered on the vicuña in the provinces of Northwestern Argentina. Vicuña fiber has a high value in the national and international market and its use, banned some decades ago, has been recently allowed by law. Focusing on a cooperative that raises vicuña stocks in captivity attention is paid to the controversies among the actors and agencies involved in its regulation and development.
