Abstract
In this article the state initiatives for environmental conservation are analyzed as a technique for the production of spaces, rural populations and subjectivities. Those initiatives generate unfinished, contingent and everchanging effects, influenced by the power systems which operate in the regions where they are implemented. From the notion of production of space1 , the transformations operating on public policies in a frontier zone as the Guaviare are examined since the area was declared a forest reserve of the Amazonia in 1959. On the other hand, the mechanisms of aggregation, simplification and standardization2 that technical expertise has developed to guide the state intervention in this region of the country are identified. Likewise, it analyzes the effects and adaptations of the environmental policies in the addressed communities, showing their density and multiple causes in a particular socio-historical stage as the Guaviare is.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
