Abstract:
In this text we discuss about fear facing disaster, around what happened in several floods in Valle de Chalco, municipality of the metropolis of Mexico. From a socio-anthropological posture in this article we aim to study the environmental conflict as a mélange of intersubjectivities to find a type of potential and emerging political action. Through the reflection on the liquid fear (BAUMAN, 2006BAUMAN, Z. Miedo líquido. España: Paídos, 2006.) and on a perspective of conflict analysis called the imagined water community (DE ALBA; SALAZAR; MARTIN, 2015DE ALBA, Felipe; Castillo, Oscar. "Después Del Desastre... Viene La Informalidad" Una Reflexión Sobre Las Inundaciones En La Metrópolis De México.Revista de Direito da Cidade, 6 (1), p. 141-167, 2014.) attempts to contribute to the current debate on water phenomena of contemporary metropolis
