Description: As in other areas of Argentina, residents from the Norte Neuquino in the northwestern reaches of Patagonia are concerned about the recent advancements of extractivism onto their territories. Their analysis is clear: the environmental crisis is directly linked to a democratic one, and they engage in a wide range of actions to envision and enact alternative futures. This combines contentious and prefigurative politics. This article analyses the labour of the socio‐environmental assembly of Huinganco through its attention to the everyday, the making of awareness, and the production of new political subjects. It discusses its political form, the expansion of its limits, and the proposals for alternative world‐making projects that are enacted to counter the advancement of extractivism onto these territories.
