In the first place, we introduce – through a brief historical review – the territory, a neighborhood that was a former “Ypefiano” oil camp located in the western area of Comodoro Rivadavia (Chubut province). The “Asociación Vecinal”, one of its reference institutions, constitutes the gateway to our ethnographic fieldwork based on collaborative research methodologies. It is also a central institution for the sustainability of life in feminized community work. Secondly, we reconstruct how neighbors refer to the environment – even without knowing it or problematizing it – in relation to the impact on the health of the “territory-body” in their “ecobiographies”. Thirdly, recovering the notion of “socioecological imaginations”, we examine to what extent women’s territorial work constitutes both a response and an alternative to extractivism. Finally, and from the case analyzed, we consider the construction of territories of life in the midst of territories of discomfort. Este artículo tiene por objetivo contribuir a desnaturalizar las consecuencias socioambientales de la convivencia con la actividad extractiva, a partir del análisis de un caso de estudio situado en la Patagonia Argentina desde aportes del ecofeminismo. Para comenzar, introducimos –mediante una breve revisión histórica- el territorio en cuestión, un barrio ex campamento petrolero ypefiano de la zona oeste de Comodoro Rivadavia (Chubut). La Asociación Vecinal, en tanto una de sus instituciones de referencia, constituye la puerta de entrada a nuestro trabajo de campo etnográfico basado en metodologías colaborativas de investigación. Se trata, además, de una institución clave para la sostenibilidad de la vida en el trabajo comunitario feminizado. En segundo lugar, reconstruimos cómo lxs vecinxs refieren a lo ambiental –aún sin saberlo ni problematizarlo- en relación a la afectación de la salud del “cuerpo-territorio” en sus “ecobiografías”. En tercer orden, recuperando la noción de “imaginaciones socioecológicas”, nos preguntamos en qué medida el trabajo territorial de las mujeres vecinalistas constituye tanto una respuesta como una alternativa al extractivismo. Finalmente, y desde el caso analizado, reflexionamos en torno a la construcción de territorios de vida en medio de territorios de malestar.
