Abstract

This paper analyses three sites where research on the development of some South American animals was carried out between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries: a missionary post in the Paraguayan Chaco, a hotel located in the Sierras of Córdoba, and a livestock farm on the coast of the Río de la Plata, the latter two in Argentina. The study of how these places functioned and of the people who passed through them allows us to see how these sites served as nodes in the itineraries of the scientists and in the gathering and circulation of objects and information. This shows the variety of places for conducting scientific work and their relationship to the infrastructures that shape the formation and occupation of the territory.
