Lo que el viento se llevó: No participación local y conflicto sobre un ambiente de dunas

This paper proposes the actor network theory (ANT), in particular the Michel Callon’s perspective (1986, 2001), for the analysis of environmental conflicts as a theoretical and methodological frame of an interprofessional approach that uses knowledge of the natural sciences to enrich knowledge of social sciences. The present aims to bring a possible explanation of the lack of participation of local people on environmental conflicts. In addition to the ANT, it is used latin-american  literature (in particular authors as: Gudynas y Acosta, 2011; Svampa, 2012 and Gutierrez e Isuani, 2014; amongs others). It is argued that the characteristics of the dune environment affect the non-participation of the local population. To this end, observations were made of flora and fauna, semi-structured interviews with local residents and authorities, interviews with key informants and analysis of public documents and journalistic notes.
