Abstract
The new international division of labor that takes place under neoliberal globalization relegates Latin American countries to mere commodity producers. In this scenario, in Argentina in recent years it has rapidly expanded the mega-opencast mining, producing a multiplicity of socio-environmental impacts and bringing the emergence of a lot of conflicts. Successive socio-environmental critics contributed to delegitimize the corporate image of the sector, discrediting the mega-mining activity. Faced with this remarkable disrepute, mega-mining corporations deploy new strategies of legitimation that tend to retrain the classic binaries “modern/backwardness”, “development/underdevelopment”, towards a domination anchored in the coloniality of power.
