A South American approach to metamorphosis as a horizon of equality: Focusing on controversies over lithium
The fact that a large portion of the lithium needed for the batteries of electric or hybrid cars required for the technological change lies in a triangle between Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, has put these countries under the spotlight. Historically, exploitation of natural resources in Latin America has been conducted under colonial and neocolonial conditions, a kind of enforced inclusion that is based on domination and implies inequality betwe…
The “soy-ization” of Argentina: The dynamics of the “globalized” privatization regime in a peripheral context
O que pensam os pequenos agricultores da Argentina sobre os cultivos geneticamente modificados
Ao longo dos últimos quinze anos, a Argentina tornou-se um dos maiores produtores e exportadores mundiais de cultivos geneticamente modificados (GM). Neste processo, questões como riscos ambientais, vantagens e desvantagens econômicas, a intensificação das desigualdades entre grandes e pequenos agricultores, entre outras, têm sido debatidas por diversos atores sociais. No entanto, os pequenos agricultores permanecem, em grande parte, ausentes da …
Biotecnología agrícola y "sojización" en la Argentina: Controversia Pública, Construcción De Consenso Y Ampliación Del Marco Regulatorio
La incorporación de transgénicos en la agricultura argentina con una orientación agroexportadora, desde mediados de la década del noventa, fue liderada por la soja tolerante a herbicida. En los inicios, la resistencia pública a esa incorporación no tuvo el peso como para modificar de manera sustancial los planes de sus promotores, entre los que se cuenta un marco regulatorio que se cerró tempranamente en torno a los riesgos biofísicos. Sin embarg…
Winding Roads to Big Science: Experimental Physics in Argentina and Brazil
As a historiographical category, ‘big science’ was elaborated from the point of view of advanced countries. However, some developing countries decided to invest a significant part of their rather modest science budgets in building many-million-dollar facilities. A comparative approach to the study of the first stages of the Argentine TANDAR heavy ion accelerator and the Brazilian National Laboratory Synchrotron Light (LNLS) projects may help unde…
An insider’s view on science and society. Re-reading John Ziman
A physicist. That is what John Ziman was in the beginning. As he tells us in “On being a physicist,” this implies a kind of nationality, that is, a laboriously learned identity that, at the end of the day, becomes natural. Physics was for him a way of seeing and a way of thinking, inextricably embedded in his own being: “a deeply rooted mode of personal existence.”
