| Sumario: | This article uses the concepts of “environmental suffering” (Auyero and Swistun, 2008) and “environmental risk” (Douglas, 1996; Beck, 1998) to analyze social perceptions of the inhabitants of 30 de Agosto, in the province of Buenos Aires, who organized a protest against a multinational company selling agro-products in the town center. To do so, we mainly address the contradictions and paradoxes experienced daily in a town affected by the negative consequences of the agribusiness model, taking into account the symbolic weight of agricultural employment and the discourse of scientific knowledge as key variables in the visibility and invisibility of risks. |
