Abstract

"This research brings together recent scholarly engagement with more-than-human approaches, post-colonial critiques, and urban political ecology. It centers in the ethnographic case of urban development projects in Asunción, that deem that floodplains areas of the city "rightfully" belong to the river and that marginalized communities living there should move elsewhere. It asks: how is the Paraguayan State delineating environmental claims as a way to deny basic services to the urban poor?"
