I10-R276-article-452482024-12-11T18:46:58Z Mobilization of experts and expertise in environmental matters La movilización de expertos y experticias en materia ambiental Frickel, Scott Arancibia, Florencia experticia expertos activistas conflictos ambientales agrotóxicos expertise expert activists environmental conflicts agrochemicals At its core, environmental politics are epistemic politics: contests over what is known or unknown about nature and who gets to speak for it. This paper’s main focus is the politics of expertise that inevitably ensues from these battles. Discussion of extant work highlights how expert activists are organized and what effects expert mobilization has on science, environmental conflict, and socio-ecological change more broadly. We begin by describing some of the conceptual and methodological challenges involved in studying experts in environmental movements. Next, we present a case study of experts and expertise in Argentina’s two-decades long agrochemicals conflict to highlight gaps in current knowledge. A third section distills several lessons from the case study and our concluding section identifies directions for future research. Las políticas medioambientales son, en el fondo, políticas epistémicas: disputas sobre lo que se sabe o se desconoce de la naturaleza y sobre quién puede hablar en su nombre. Este artículo se centra en la política de la experticia que inevitablemente se deriva de estas batallas. La revisión de los trabajos existentes pone de relieve cómo se organizan los expertos activistas y qué efectos tiene la movilización de los/las expertos/as en la ciencia, los conflictos ambientales y el cambio socio-ecológico en general. Comenzamos describiendo algunos de los retos conceptuales y metodológicos que plantea el estudio de los/las expertos/as en los movimientos ambientalistas. A continuación, presentamos un estudio de caso sobre expertos y experticia en el conflicto por el uso masivo de agrotóxicos en Argentina, que lleva ya dos décadas, para poner de relieve las lagunas en los conocimientos actuales. En una tercera sección se extraen varias lecciones del estudio de caso y en la sección final se proponen líneas de investigación futuras.
