Un estudio comparativo sobre el litio en Olaroz, el gas y el petróleo en Vaca Muerta y la soja en Casares. A previous version was presented at Asociacion Latinoamericana de Sociologia (ALAS) XXXI Congreso. Panel: “America Latina en la era de la Informacion y Multiculturalismo,” Montevideo, 2017. This section is based on case studies on the production of lithium, soy, and unconventional hydrocarbons. These studies are: “El Extractivismo Agrícola Informacional en la Argentina: el caso de Los Grobo y las disputas territoriales socioambientales en la era de la Información,” by Juan Wahren; “Extractivismo informacional, territorio y desarrollo: el caso de YPF S.A. en Vaca Muerta,” by Ignacio Cretini; and “Minería del litio en el Salar de Olaroz,” by Debora Pragier and Juan Pablo Deluca.
