Note antropologiche}, volume={6}, url={https://rivisteclueb.it/index.php/etnoantropologia/article/view/283}, abstractNote={<p>Starting from the critic perspective of medical anthropology with reference to the problem of the environmental contamination the author reflects on the human body as a vulnerable junction of the interchange of culture and nature, a physical place of processes of social and material embodiment, and as the fulcrum of a complex interweaving of geopolitical forces and injustices. The impact of pollutants is expressed through the dynamics of transformation of human bodies into toxic bodies, ecological alterities characterized by social vulnerabilities and inequalities, and so living texts which can tell stories of contamination, disease, and oppression. Female rebelling bodies burst onto the public scene, trying, by their knowledge and practices, to realign ecology and economy. Finally it is highlighted how the relationship between environmental contamination, protection of territories and the right to health is inscribed in conflicting fields of forces where a new biological citizenship is played and fertile spaces can be open for a political ecology to which medical anthropology can obviously offer a rich contribution.</p>}, number={1}, journal={EtnoAntropologia}, author={Zito, Eugenio}, year={2018}, month={set.}, pages={231–264} }
