Abstract
Abstract The chapter examines the ideologies and practices of the social movement that emerged in defense of the Cerro de San Pedro and against the open-pit mining project. It argues that despite the heterogeneous and only loosely coordinated nature of this movement, it came together under a common moral ecology opposed to the negative reciprocities of contemporary open-pit mining. The chapter also offers a tour of the different political practices and tactics adopted by the movement - direct action, community referendums, political theatre, the mobilization of history - and each is compared with other similar examples drawn from elsewhere on the continent.
