VARELA, Maximiliano. Ontological reflections about an environmental conflict:. Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.2, pp.141-156.  Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i2.7672.

The following work tries to analyze the conflict that from the year 2014 involves the habitants of indigenous neighborhood called Namqom (Formosa province, Argentina) regarding to the state decision of relocated a uranium dioxide-processing plant. From an analysis about qom relationship forms with their territory and the living creatures who inhabited it, instead they stablish a wide relationship net among different beings where request, exchange and reciprocity adhere to a strict protocol. On one hand all these will lead us not to label these arguments as an exclusively environmental conflict, on the other hand to be alert on the likelihood of qom people to use environmental claims as a political strategy to set things in motion.

Palabras clave : Ontological conflict; Political ontology; Territory; Cosmopolitics; Gran Chaco.
