From a socio-historical perspective, this article analyzes the mobilization processes fishermen of the Paraná River in the province of Santa Fe (Argentina) between 2000-2020. It uses analytical tools related to collective action and social movements. The study historically reconstructs the conditions of possibility of these mobilization processes. The attention is focused on the cycles of protest and the repertoires of collective action that account for the gradual sectoral organization of fishermen and their inscription in the contentious network of eco-territorial protests of the last twenty years in Argentina. In methodological terms, the article is based on the reading and historical interpretation of a series of newspaper articles and interviews with artisanal fishermen. The article shows how the identities of social and environmental actors are traversed by political and state dynamics in the framework of a territorially situated conflict. Furthermore, show how these dynamics shaped and allowed the emergence of collective actors whose practices were traditionally restricted to the local and communitarian scale.

Keywords : artisanal fishing; collective action; protest cycle; territory; Paraná river; Santa Fe (Argentina).
