Environmental justice research and activism predominantly focus on
openly conflictive situations; claims making is central. However,
situations of injustice can still occur even if there is no overt
conflict. Environmental Justice and Soy Agribusiness fills this gap
by applying an environmental justice incommensurabilities framework
to reveal the mechanisms of why conflicts do not arise in
particular situations, even though they fall within classic
environmental justice schemes. Empirically, the case study focus is
on the remote soy frontier in Northwest Argentina, particularly the
town of Las Lajitas as the nucleus of soy production. This
represents an excellent example of the recent expansion of the soy
agribusiness industry in Latin America. First, a classic
environmental justice analysis is carried out. Second, and drawing
on the epistemological works of Ludwik Fleck, an alternative
analytical framework is proposed, visualising locals' thought
styles on change, effects and potential conflict in relation to soy
agribusiness. Here, visceral elements and the application of a jazz
methodology are vital for a more holistic form of multisensory
cognition. Third, incommensurabilities among the classic and
alternative approach are uncovered, arguing for the importance of
temporal and spatial contexts in environmental justice research.
