ABSTRACT

PROGRESS AND ABANDOND: THE RAIL SYSTEM AND RURAL VILLAGES. A READING OF THE SOCIOHISTORICAL CHANGE FROM THE COMMUNICATION. Community as a whole presents a framework with various aspects that mold and shape different customs, marking his pace of life. Certain stages are marked by historic breakthroughs that lead to a permanent challenge about how and in what way face the future.

The article proposes a communicational look with its social, cultural and political relationship between a rural space (San Cayetano) and the rail system. Explore the grounds and consequences of the foundation and disappearance of the railway will make it possible to realize different phenomena with a sustained weight in the history of the town. There include the brands of the time which has elapsed, the social and spatial transformation of the region, the communicational re-configuration of the area, etc.

Symbolic spaces of the people, holders of a strong identity, are transformed into places where, implicitly or explicitly, produce resistance to oblivion and the socio-political indifference issued by the changes of time. Conceptions show points to highlight in which invariable and inevitably the time is an important link: the image of a happy past, the uncertainty of the present and fear of what may result in the future.

Keywords: Communication - Community - Culture - Tradition.
