This dissertation aims to contribute to the understanding of underground water. To do so, I analyze underground water territories from below, thinking with social movements that oppose to the commodification, pollution, and enclosure of water through community practices and commoning (Boelens et al., 2022). I go beyond the most studied and visible water bodies (rivers, lakes, and oceans) and follow the impacts of extractivism, specifically factory farming, into the less studied underground water reserves (Ballestero, 2019a; Hazard, 2022) and the atmosphere. In doing so, I analyze how the surface, the underground, and the atmosphere are deeply entangled, blurring the divisions between land, water, and air, and understanding their interconnections. My analysis engages with flows (filtrations and leakages) and connections through water, waste, policies, law, and multiple social practices. This dissertation tells a part of the story of the Guardians of the Cenotes (Ka'anan Ts'onot) who are resisting a 49,000 pig factory in Homun. The town of Homun, Yucatan, Mexico, is located in the center of the natural protected area of the Ring of Cenotes (sacred sinkholes), a geological formation and underground hydrological reserve considered biocultural patrimony. The objective of this dissertation is to uncover a situated vision regarding justice, nature, and development and to document the repertoire of defense of the Guardians of the Cenotes. I achieved this partly by traveling through and studying the underground hydrosocial territory of the Ring of Cenotes. I understand this situated vision of justice as a grounded ethic of care that includes caring for and with nature, taking into consideration the webs of life and local practices, but also being aware of the politics of care as non-innocent, with the potential for exclusion and even violence. To this end, my research addresses the following questions:What are the grounded ethics of care for humans and non-humans of the Guardians of the Cenotes? How and why does this grounded ethics of care lead to resistance and the use of law to defend their hydrosocial territory? How does a socioterritorial movement mobilize law to defend their hydrosocial territory?What is the relationship of litigation from below with other forms of social mobilization? How is law influenced by, and how does it influence, dominant and alternative underground imaginaries and grounded ethics of care?Although there are multiple entry points for understanding the relationship between water, society, and space, I believe that to understand the underground, it is useful to begin from a perspective from below (desde abajo). This entry point might provide us with a different vision of water conflicts considering situated knowledges and alternative ways of relating to water and territory. Thus, I focus on the counter-hegemonic and alternative projects of a social movement and their repertoire of defense, rather than the dominant views from the government and companies regarding underground water.Grounded in ethnographic data, this dissertation draws from fifteen months of participatory action research focusing on the resistance of Mayan communities of Yucatan. Data collection for this study includes a combination of archival research of legal, scientific, technical, and media documents; in-depth interviews; participant observation; and GIS analysis. In order to study justice in relation to hydrosocial territories from below, I bring together three main theoretical frameworks. First, I combine different perspectives from political ecology regarding the concept of territory, including hydrosocial territories (Boelens et al., 2016), territorial movements (Halvorsen et al., 2019), and territories of life (Calderon Cisneros et al., 2021) enclosing social reproduction and more than human ethics of care (Haraway, 2008; Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017). Second, I use legal geography to understand the relationship between law and space, with a particular focus on lively legalities (Braverman, 2016), critical human rights, and counter hegemonic litigation (Rodriguez-Garavito & Arenas, 2005). Finally, I combine these with meat geographies to understand meat factories' biopolitics (Emel & Neo, 2015; Neo & Emel, 2017) and their impacts in volumetric spaces (Elden, 2013).The first chapter of this dissertation, describes the volumetric aspects of industrial pork production. It explores how catastrophic flows, such as pollution, and flows necessary for life, such as water and air, circulate through a volumetric territory and how social movements engage with these catastrophic flows to defend the flows of life. The second chapter, analyzes the flows of multiple ideas, imaginaries, and practices that circulate in the volumetric territory of Homun. Under the menace of the industrial grain-oilseed-livestock complex (Weis, 2013), the Ring of Cenotes is being re(created) as a vulnerable aquifer that needs protection due to its environmental, social, economic, and cultural value. This protection is based upon the grounded ethics of caring for the human and the non-human of the Guardians of the Cenotes. The final chapter, analyses how law, in conjunction with science and other forms of knowledge, is used to advance the territorial visions of the Guardians of the Cenotes. By examining the multiple interactions between social movements and courts, I argue that human and environmental rights can be strategically mobilized by social movements to advance their grounded ethics of care.

520 $a Esta tesis narra una parte de la historia de los Guardianes de los Cenotes (Ka'anan Ts'onot) quienes resisten a una fabrica de 49,000 cerdos en Homun. El pueblo de Homun, Yucatan, Mexico, esta ubicado en el centro del area natural protegida del Anillo de Cenotes, una formacion geologica y reserva hidrologica subterranea considerada patrimonio biocultural. El objetivo de la tesis es descubrir una vision situada respecto a la justicia, la naturaleza y el desarrollo y documentar el repertorio de defensa de los Guardianes de los Cenotes. Esto se logra, en parte, recorriendo y estudiando el territorio hidrosocial subterraneo del Anillo de Cenotes. Para mi analisis, entiendo la justicia desde una vision situada y como una etica del cuidado que incluye el cuidado de la naturaleza y con la naturaleza, las redes de la vida y las practicas locales. No obstante, esta etica del cuidado tambien es politica y no inocente, con las posibilidades de generar exclusion e incluso violencia. En especifico, mi investigacion aborda las siguientes preguntas: ¿Cual es la etica situada de cuidado de lo humano y no humano de los Guardianes de los Cenotes? ¿Como y por que esta etica del cuidado puede desarrollar resistencia y movilizacion legal para defender un territorio hydrosocial? ¿Como un movimiento socioterritorial moviliza la ley para defender su territorio hidrosocial? ¿Cual es la relacion entre el litigio desde abajo y otras formas de movilizacion social? ¿Como la ley influye, y es influida por, los imaginarios dominantes y alternativos del espacio subterraneo y las eticas de cuidado? Aunque existen multiples puntos de entrada para entender la relacion entre agua, sociedad y espacio, considero que para entender el espacio subterraneo es util comenzar desde una perspectiva desde abajo. Este punto de entrada podria proporcionarnos una vision diferente de los conflictos del agua teniendo en cuenta los conocimientos situados y las formas alternativas de relacionarse con la naturaleza y el territorio. En este estudio, me centro en los proyectos contrahegemonicos y alternativos de un movimiento social y en su repertorio de defensa, mas que en las visiones dominantes desde el gobierno y las empresas respecto al acuifero.Basada en datos etnograficos, esta tesis se construye a partir de quince meses de investigacion-accion participativa centrada en la resistencia de las comunidades mayas de Yucatan. La recopilacion de datos para este estudio incluye una combinacion de investigacion de archivo de documentos legales, cientificos, tecnicos y de medios de comunicacion; entrevistas en profundidad; observacion participante, y analisis de Sistemas de Informacion Geografica.Para estudiar la justicia en los territorios hidrosociales desde abajo, trabajo con tres marcos teoricos principales. Primero, combino diferentes perspectivas de la ecologia politica en relacion con el concepto de territorio, incluidos los territorios hidrosociales (Boelens et al., 2016), los movimientos territoriales (Halvorsen et al., 2019a) y los territorios para la vida (Calderon Cisneros et al., 2021) que encierran la reproduccion social y una etica del cuidado mas alla de lo humano (Haraway, 2008; Puig de la Bellacasa, 2017). En segundo lugar, uso la geografia legal para entender la relacion entre ley y espacio, con especial atencion en las legalidades vivas (Braverman, 2016), los estudios criticos de los derechos humanos criticos y el litigio contrahegemonico (Rodriguez-Garavito & Arenas, 2005). Por ultimo, utilizo el enfoque de las geografias de la carne para comprender la biopolitica de las fabricas carnicas (Emel y Neo, 2015; Neo y Emel, 2017) y sus impactos en los espacios volumetricos (Elden, 2013).El primer capitulo describo los aspectos volumetricos de la produccion porcina industrial. Este capitulo explora como los flujos catastroficos, como la contaminacion, y los flujos necesarios para la vida, como el agua y el aire, circulan por un territorio volumetrico y como los movimientos sociales se enfrentan a estos flujos catastroficos para defender los flujos de la vida. El segundo capitulo, analiza los flujos de multiples ideas, imaginarios y practicas que circulan en el territorio volumetrico de Homun. Bajo la amenaza del complejo industrial cerealero-oleaginoso-ganadero, el Anillo de Cenotes se re(crea) como un acuifero vulnerable que requiere proteccion por su valor ambiental, social, economico y cultural. Esta proteccion se basa en la etica del cuidado de lo humano y lo no humano de los Guardianes de los Cenotes. El ultimo capitulo analiza como se utiliza el derecho, junto con la ciencia y otras formas de conocimiento, para avanzar las visiones territoriales de los movimientos socioterritoriales. Al examinar las multiples interacciones entre los movimientos sociales y los tribunales, sostengo que los movimientos sociales pueden movilizar estrategicamente los derechos humanos y medioambientales para promover su etica del cuidado.
