| Sumario: | The interaction between society and nature highlights the need for human communities to live with natural phenomena that, when striking vulnerable groups, result in hardship for the production system and daily life of people – hardship usually classified in the form of “disasters”. This is what occurs with drought cycles and floods that characterize the Province of Buenos Aires. Being such highly recurrent disasters, we ought to ask ourselves how is it that rural communities live with, experience, perceive and remember them. We believe these questions can be formulated in the academic sector by means of a cultural study of disasters that involves the past, present and future dimensions of flood processes in an important region within the livestock nucleus of the Province of Buenos Aires: The Salado River’s lower basin. |
