La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) ha comenzado a promover estrategias vinculadas al concepto de "una sola salud", donde la salud humana y la animal se entienden como interdependientes e intrínsecamente ligadas a la salud de los ecosistemas en los que se desenvuelven. Bajo esta perspectiva, se están generando lecturas y propuestas desde comunidades situadas y multiespecie, con el objetivo de promover conceptos de salud más inclusivos y respetuosos con otras formas de vida. De igual manera, se busca abordar la necesidad de desmontar y crear, al mismo tiempo, nuevas perspectivas de abordaje para reflexionar sobre las prácticas existentes y construir otros contenidos comunicacionales. En este artículo nos proponemos repensar las posibilidades de articular una comunicación sensible a las tramas de interdependencia y a las propias biografías situadas de mujeres en un contexto de avance del extractivismo sobre los territorios, en diálogo con los saberes vinculados con la medicina tradicional, la etnomedicina dentro de la salud colectiva y la perspectiva de "una salud".Dado que la comunicación se considera una práctica social y espacio de constitución y disputa de sentidos, nos planteamos la posibilidad de explorar cómo se pueden construir piezas comunicacionales desde narrativas que visibilicen las subjetividades y corporalidades, así como los contextos y saberes relacionados al cuidado de la salud en áreas rurales y sus modos de habitar que allí se desarrollan.

This publication belongs to the WATERLAT-GOBACIT Network Working Papers Series (http://waterlat.org/publications/working-papers-series/), Vol. 6, No 3. This issue was developed by members of the WATERLAT-GOBACIT Network's Thematic Area 7 (TA7), Art, Communication, Culture, and Education. This is the second issue of the TA7 Series. It features three articles presenting research results from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Article 1, by Ximena I. Cabral, is a long piece developed in a format close to that of a photographic essay, as the author seeks to capture and analyse the "expressive resources" used by the actors during a cycle of social protests against inequality and injustice related to water Politics and management in the Province of Cordoba, Argentina, between 2005 and 2007. The article examines in detail the conflicts arising from the privatization of Cordoba's water and sanitation utility in 1997, when the government granted a 30-year long concession to a private consortium led by a multinational water company to deliver these services. After the large-scale crisis that affected the country in 2001, caused by a decade of highly destructive neoliberal policies implemented during the 1990s, Argentina's currency was heavily devaluated, prompting a renegotiation of the contract that in practice amounted to a dollarization of the tariff, which was strongly rejected by the population. This triggered a long cycle of popular protests that faced a very determined alliance between politicians and local and international businesses, which would eventually impose its conditions through different means, including repression. In Article 2, Zenaida Luisa Lauda-Rodríguez examines a successful case of "precautionary" social struggle against a mining project in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The local community, in alliance with other actors, succeeded in preventing the implementation of the mining project through a campaign based on a demand to apply the "precautionary principle", which passed the burden of ...
