Luchas por el acceso al agua en barrios populares de la zona norte y sur del Gran Buenos Aires, Argentina

Abstract

The article aims to study the claims that emerge from access to water in popular neighborhoods of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. Specifically, it is interesting to delve from a political ecology perspective, in the processes of risk social construction that take place in these territories, and the   way in which the involved actors manage to question the public organisms with competence in the provision of the service. In this way, and from the ethnographic analysis in two localities of the metropolitan area, we reconstruct how they produce and redefine what we define as hydrosocial territories, where disputes for knowledge, discourses and distribution linked to water are brought into play.
