I10-R333-article-381502022-08-29T19:34:28Z The geography of ecocide in Córdoba La geografía del ecocidio en Córdoba Sigismondi, Pablo geography ecocide cordobesism development territory geografía ecocidio cordobesismo desarrollo territorio This work proposes an experiential visit to different geographies in the province of Córdoba, attempting to link the territory with the voice of the social actors who inhabit it. It shows, based on different socio-environmental conflicts, that the blemishes to the land that devastate ecosystems and natural environments are, in reality, within the framework of a governmental proposal for "development". This development is produced by massive pharaonic works through which the State adopts policies that disfigure the territory. Through fieldwork and first-person exploration of the cases, the destruction of priceless natural and cultural heritage is photographed and witnessed. This destruction causes a network of environmental damage that is increasingly marked and difficult to reverse. Based on critical and radical geographies, the author explains how Cordobesismo seeks to identify itself as a kind of "provincial patriotism" that links the identity and sense of belonging to Cordoba, with its own symbols and with public or private undertakings that always conflict with the environment. Furthermore, this action is highlighted as an all-encompassing practice that includes the rest of the state powers: both the ruling majority in the legislature and a large part of the judiciary endorse this ecocidal action. Este trabajo propone una visita a diversas geografías de la provincia de Córdoba, intentando vincular el territorio con la voz de los actores de la sociedad que lo habitan. Se muestra, a partir de diferentes conflictos sociomedioambientales, que las marcas territoriales que arrasan ecosistemas y ambientes naturales son, en realidad, el marco de una propuesta gubernamental de desarrollo, mediante la cual se ejecutan obras faraónicas en las que el propio Estado adopta políticas que desfiguran el territorio. A partir del trabajo de campo y la exploración de los casos en primera persona, se fotografía y testimonia la destrucción de patrimonios naturales y culturales invaluables, ocasionándose auténtica red de daños ambientales cada vez más marcados y difíciles de revertir. Desde las geografías críticas y radicales, se explica cómo el cordobesismo busca identificarse como una especie de patriotismo provincial que vincula la identidad y sentido de pertenencia a Córdoba con símbolos propios y con emprendimientos públicos o privados que entran en conflicto, siempre, con el medio ambiente. Se destaca, además, este accionar como una práctica abarcativa que incluye al resto de los poderes del estado: la mayoría oficialista del poder legislativo y gran parte del poder judicial avalan este accionar ecocida.

This work proposes an experiential visit to different geographies in the province of Córdoba, attempting to link the territory with the voice of the social actors who inhabit it.
It shows, based on different socio-environmental conflicts, that the blemishes to the land that devastate ecosystems and natural environments are, in reality, within the framework of a governmental proposal for "development". This development is produced by massive pharaonic works through which the State adopts policies that disfigure the territory.
