In this article I reflect on the conflicts that arise in the relocations of the Matanza-Riachuelo basin. The category of conflict—which has been widely developed in the field of social sciences—operates, in turn, as a native term used, mainly, by the decision-makers and executors of this public policy. On the one hand, this native category refers to the inaugural "great conflict" of the cause: the environmental issue in Villa Inflamable. On the other hand, it is used to make a distinction between "conflictive territories" or "territories without conflict" with which, consequently, it is (or it is not) possible to articulate the actions of this policy. I will present the progress of an incipient qualitative field work in the municipality of Almirante Brown to account for the multiplicity of conflicts that take place in the trenches of this public policy.
