description The aim of this paper is to analyze the main features of the expansion of soybean in Argentina through the lens of two of the contradictions at the heart of capitalism: on the one hand, the contradiction between private appropriation and common wealth; and on the other hand, the contradiction between capital and nature. This paper offers empirical data to illustrate the dangerous consequences of this process of commodification that affects communities in the actual period of primitive accumulation in Argentina.

This paper offers empirical data to illustrate the dangerous consequences of this process of commodification that affects communities in the actual period of primitive accumulation in Argentina.  El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las dos concepciones en torno a las semillas, es decir, en tanto bienes comunes (commons) y en tanto mercancías, e indagar cómo se produjo el pasaje de la primera significación a la segunda. Las simientes como bienes comunes se remontan a los orígenes de las civilizaciones e implican la conjunción de consideraciones de tipo natural, social, cultural, religioso. Las semillas como mercancías se arraigan a los inicios del sistema capitalista y la nueva manera de entender las relaciones capital-trabajo y, en especial, el binomio capital-recursos naturales. El presente trabajo aplica principios y nociones marxistas que permiten arrojar luz en la idea de mercantilización a través de la tesis de la acumulación originaria y de la referencia a la acumulación por despojo.
