DUER, Mara. Vivir en una nube de humo: normalización de la violencia ambiental en San Salvador (Entre Ríos, Argentina). Pampa [online]. 2021, n.24, e0038. ISSN 2314-0208.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.14409/pampa.2021.24.e0038.

Every March in San Salvador, Entre Rios, generates a fog that grows until it surrounds the entire city as the result of the processing of the rice. In the last 15 years some local people started inquiring about the connection between the dust that the mills generates and the prevalence of carcinogenic and respiratory diseases and the high rate of deaths expanding in the city known as the capital center of rice. The article explores how the advancement of the agribusiness, affects the relation of proximity between the agricultural land, the mill and the city, making of it a ‘sacrifice zone’ where development becomes associated to body and environment degradation. The study focusses in how it is incarnated the corporeal and discursive embodiment of the cost of this model of development. This research was developed through the use of interviews and the environmental and the socio-health reports from UNLP and UNR respectively.

Keywords : Extractivism; Sacrifice Zone; Bodies; Affect.
