Resumen
Recentemente, a mineração do litio tornou-se indispensável para a reprodução do sistema capitalista contemporâneo. Peça chave do modelo (neo) extrativista vigente na América Latina, este uso do território não tem sido objeto da atenção e interesse académicos, principalmente a respeito de sua relação com o ciclo de acumulação por desapropriação, iniciado durante a década de 1990 e continuado até a atualidade. Este trabalho analisa, portanto, o boom da atividade na Argentina entre 1999 e 2016, tomando como estudo de caso o mais antigo e importante depósito do país: Salgar do Homem Morto. À luz das categorias e dimensões da acumulação por desapropiação propostas pela literatura, o artigo revela e explica as diversas dinâmicas de expropriações geográfica, económico-política e sócio-ecológica do modelo e seus correlatos de fragmentação sócio-territorial e pilhagem dos bens comuns locais.
Recently, lithium mining has become indispensable for the contemporary capitalist system’s reproduction. Considered as a key part of the current (neo) extractivist pattern in Latin America, this use of the territory has not received the attention and academic interest it deserves regarding to the accumulation by dispossession’s cycle started during the 1990s and continued until the present. Seeking to cover this gap, this work analyzes the boom of the activity in Argentina between 1999 and 2016 by taking as a case study the oldest and most important lithium mine of the country: Salar del Hombre Muerto. In light of the accumulation by dispossession’s categories and dimensions proposed by the literature, the article reveals and explains the diverse geographic, economic-political and socio-ecological expropriation dynamics, as well as the social and territorial fragmentation and the looting of the local commons produced by this pattern.
