| Sumario: | In Argentina, the nexus between health and hygiene dates back to the 19th century, at the beginning of Nation Sate consolidation, today this nexus is unquestionable. It is striking that in this nexus, the garbage, as an environmental problem of governmental responsibility, continues to be a forgotten dimension. This problem is aggravated in the current Covid19 pandemic. To contribute to unravel this "forgetfulness", here we address two dimensions of a problem that the pandemic shows us with eloquence: 1) the increase in single-use plastics and 2) the work of garbage collectors. Basically, the debate is framed into the political ecology and critical ecology, where the garbage crisis is considered the "mirror" of productive models, distribution and social injustice, expressed in the logic of the double exploitation of nature and work. While recognizing that the health crisis demands the incorporation of transdisciplinary perspectives, which would allow us to address the socio-environmental complexity, where the natural, the social and the political overlap. |
