| Sumario: | The extraordinary descent of the Paraná River, the fires that have hit the islands located there, the disputes over wetland protection laws, land conflicts and sanitary emergencies of various kinds, have made different regions of the Delta, a region that includes the flood plains of the Paraná River, where continental wetlands of fluvial origin are developed, the center of public debate. In the present issue of Etcétera we had the opportunity to interview two coastal anthropologists and doctoral fellows from CONICET, who are currently living and working in the territory of the Paraná Delta. Macarena Romero Acuña and Casimiro Tommasi joined us in our Conversations section to discuss some socio-environmental problems and emergencies of various kinds that affect this Argentine territory. What is the Delta? How does it form and who inhabits the island/s? How does it combine smoke, fire, water, land conflicts and COVID-19 on the different banks of the Paraná? What are the state devices that try to regulate it and what are the environmental claims by urban actors? |
