AguAs, AntropologíAsyloscicloshidro-sociAles. introducción
El agua y la antropología tienen una relación íntima. La vida social de los seres humanos depende del acceso al agua y determina el tipo de convivencia y/o control técnico y político de las aguas, en sus múltiples manifestaciones. Por lo tanto, la arqueología y la antropología social, junto a otras disciplinas sociales y humanísticas, han constatado la existencia de diversas culturas hídricas. En una cultura hídrica el agua se vuelve centro gravi…
"The Social Life of the "Forever Chemical: PFAS Pollution Legacies and Toxic Events
This article examines the social life of PFAS contamination (a class of several thousand synthetic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and maps the growing research in the social sciences on the unique conundrums and complex travels of the "forever chemical." We explore social, political, and cultural dimensions of PFAS toxicity, especially how PFAS move from unseen sites into individual bodies and into the public eye in late industrial contexts…
Editor's Introduction
Squatters and the Politics of Marginality in Uruguay
Lead Poisoning and the Dangers of Pragmatism
Drawing from ethnographic research on lead poisoning in Uruguay and secondary literature from lead poisoning cases around the world, the commentary argues that public health policy guided by pragmatism presents multiple dangers to effective health intervention
Mega-mining Sovereignty
This chapter examines the Frente Amplio&s;s productive Uruguay economic model as an example of the country&s;s turn to the commodity consensus through its promotion of mega-development and extractivism. It focuses on the political-economic continuities and the socio-environmental consequences and legacies located at the intersection between ostensibly neoliberal and post-neoliberal models. The chapter argues that the productive Uruguay model has …
When Said with a Sneer: Translating Language, Race, and Culture Through an English Football Race Controversy
This article examines the origins and aftermath of a 2011 English football race controversy, where an English Football Association tribunal found Uruguayan Luis Suárez guilty of using racially abusive language against Patrice Evra, a Frenchman of Senegalese descent. It approaches the Suárez-Evra controversy as a flashpoint of broader transformations in England, France, and Uruguay associated with sports, race, and nationalism, highlighting the pr…

Selling “Fracking”: Energy in Depth and the Marcellus Shale
The development of horizontal hydraulic fracture drilling or “fracking” has allowed for the extraction of deep, unconventional shale gas deposits in various shale seams throughout the USA. One such shale seam, the Marcellus shale, extends through New York State, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, where shale gas development has rapidly increased within the last decade. This has created a boom of economic activity surrounding the energy industry. Ho…

We Are Not Marginals: The Cultural Politics of Lead Poisoning in Montevideo, Uruguay
The expanding squatter settlements of Latin America's cities are emblematic of the new forms of spatial inequality and social suffering wrought by the neoliberal order. In the context of the return of the "dangerous classes" across the Americas, the dominant classes have mobilized the culture-of-poverty and marginality myths of the 1960s as a means of governance by placing responsibility for the "pathologies" of poverty on a criminalized urban un…
The Curse of Wealth: Political Ecologies of Latin American Neoliberalism
The article reviews recent scholarship on the changing relationships between nature, society, capital, and the state in neoliberal Latin America. It employs political ecology as a macro‐analytic framework to analyze scholarly literature published since 2007 on Latin American socio‐ecological processes. The first section examines land and resource conflicts associated with accumulation by dispossession, or the penetration of capital into hitherto …
In the margins of contamination: Lead poisoning and the production of neoliberal nature in Uruguay
The article situates a lead poisoning epidemic in Uruguay within recent processes of neoliberal and environmental reform. It argues industrial contamination and its socio-political responses have become prevalent through neoliberal-inspired transformations in production and consumption, the dismantling of state services, and increased social vulnerability to affliction. Contrary to orthodox theories of neoliberal restructuring, however, environme…

Punta del Este as Global City? competing visions of Uruguayan nationhood in a geography of exclusion
This article examines the controversies and struggles surrounding the Uruguayan workers confederation march from Montevideo to the exclusive resort city of Punta del Este in 2002. At stake were competing visions of the present and future direction of Uruguay. Punta del Este is central to the government's project of a "new" Uruguay: a service-oriented, outward-looking, and high-tech regional financial and economic center. The city presents a socia…
