historical region, ethnography, cultural ecology, integration and articulationAbstract
Located in the recent Nicaraguan regional historiography, promoted by the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua, Managua (UNAN-Managua) since the 1980s, this article aims to demonstrate that historical regions have integration and articulation dynamics that do not necessarily they correspond to the administrative political divisions of the territory. To explain this dynamic, the method of cultural ecology of anthropologist Julian Steward (1955) has been used, which proposes to understand the regions from its cultural nucleus, that is, the adaptation and interaction of man with his environment; Of course, ethnographic work has been fundamental. The results reveal that Carazo has four internal historical regions. Therefore, it could be concluded, among other things that both the political and regional divisions coexist without opposing each other, but regional understanding stands out as a possibility of shortening the center-periphery gap.
