| Sumario: | In December 2019, in the face of a legislative reform promoted by the dominant sectors to enable mega-mining, an important cycle of social mobilization was opened in the province of Mendoza in defense of water as a common good. The popular rebellion exploded in the streets, forcing the government to back down with the measure. The people's uprising baptized as the "Mendozazo del Agua" or "Mendozaguazo", configures a privileged temporality to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the historic “Mendozazo” of 1972. Indeed, we propose to open a series of questions that gravitate around this constellation between past and present. What are the resonances between the “Mendozazo” and the “Mendozaguazo”, between 1972 and 2019? Returning to the “Mendozazo” of 1972, reflecting on the complex web of continuities and ruptures, allow us to historicize the “Mendozaguazo” of 2019, elucidating some folds of its historical significance. From the methodological point of view, we have resorted to the review of sources and bibliography. |
