Abstract

MILESI, Andrea. From natural resources to common goods: open -cast mining. Avá [online]. 2012, n.20, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

The political and institutional crisis happened in Argentina in 2011 shows a political scene where the protest is restored strongly "from below" embodied in diverse popular assemblies. In this article, the interest specifically relapses on the social groups that resist the open-cast  mining. The negotiations, the fights, the interests in game, the activities of promotion and the processes of resistance, shape a particular scene where the social actors and their capacity of action realize of modalities renewed of cultural appropriation of the environment. The new categorization of the habitat by environmental assemblies, rejecting the designation of natural resource and replacing it by common good, allows these social actors to establish a new anchorage to take forward the fight.

Keywords : Natural Resources; Common Goods; Open-cast Mining.
