Water Want
Technology and Expertise in the Urgency of Drought in Argentina
My research focuses on technology and expertise in the urgency of drought in Argentina. The aim of this doctoral project is to gain ethnographic knowledge about how water scarcity and drought are understood, framed and managed by different social actors in the Esteros del Iberá (Corrientes, Argentina) through an anthropological perspective.
