Abstract
After massive fires that occurred in 2008, the emergence of the environmental dimension in the Paraná Delta as an issue on the public and institutional agenda favored its constitution as a disputed territory between various social actors. The goal of this thesis was to analyze the disputes between two coalitions –“isleños” (“islanders”) and “environmentalist”- over the development of the Forestry Core Area (Buenos Aires Delta of the Paraná River) in the period 2008-2019. Through the activation of categories of the sociology of environmental conflicts, the sociology of development and the anthropology of public policies, in this qualitative and ethnographic research I argue that the configuration of the arena of conflict between 2008 and 2013 involved the constitution of two antagonistic coalitions: a situation of conflict was generated around the development model to which the region should tend between those who defended their historical forms of production and life on “la isla” (“the island”) and those who advocated for the conservation of the “wetland”. This conflict was also expressed in the production processes of different public policies aimed at regulating the forms of use and appropriation of the environment. In turn, I maintain that the emergence of new articulation mechanisms between local residents with higher levels of capitalization, technicians from state agencies and “environmentalists” in the period 2014-2019 made it possible to deactivate the conflict between both coalitions, through the production of new forms of intervention under the sustainability paradigm. However, ethnographic practice forced me to ask myself not only about the sectors visible in the public arena but also about those that are not visible. Thus, I argue that the particular form of deactivation of the conflict can be interpreted as a mark of the existence of a 'hidden alliance' between the participating actors, given that the singular configuration of the dispute (between two historical projects) implies the exclusion of
alternative visions of the social order and has as a consequence (not necessarily intentional) the reinforcement of the subaltern positions of the marginalized sectors, defined in terms of social class, gender, generation and nationality/ethnicity. For those reasons, I maintain that the articulation of the environmental and productive dimension is a necessary but insufficient condition to produce a sustainable development model, given that no historical project can be described in such a way if it does not also imply the reconfiguration of the social relations of inequality constituents of the territories.
