Afterlives of waste in the wetlands of Paraná, Argentina: a multispecies history

Thanks to the generous support of the Tinker Graduate Field Research grant, I was able to conduct preliminary field research in Argentina to support my master’s project. I traveled in the summer of 2024, and spent a total of eight weeks there. During my first two weeks of fieldwork, I stayed in the city of Buenos Aires, where I conducted archival research at the Archivo General de la Nación and the Biblioteca Tornquist. Thank you to the archivists (especially Patricia and Andrés) at both these sites for their help and support. I looked through the documents in search of references to waste, wetlands, and wastelands in both in the provinces of Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos.
