La Promoción de la Salud (PS) es una función esencial de la salud pública que se ha puesto en tensión frente a la pandemia de la COVID-19, dado que los discursos y estrategias basados en la prevención y curación de la enfermedad han invisibilizado las condiciones de vida e inequidad que son centrales para la PS. La salud colectiva latinoamericana plantea cuestionamientos prácticos y epistemológicos sobre las acciones ante la epidemia en los países del Sur Global, proponiendo enfoques alternativos al paradigma biomédico y a lo que este entiende como PS. Desde la salud colectiva, la PS tiene como elementos centrales la autonomía de las comunidades, la importancia de sus saberes, y el fomento de acciones colectivas territoriales. Este artículo, a través de una cronología crítica de la pandemia en dos territorios, describe situaciones documentadas que ponen en evidencia el despliegue de condiciones esenciales de posibilidad para una PS desde la salud colectiva, es decir, el papel de la justicia social en la organización comunitaria, la perspectiva territorial y los procesos emancipatorios y de construcción de autonomía. Los casos analizados corresponden a un territorio insular del sur de Chile y a una comuna urbana de la capital del país, elaborados mediante el involucramiento directo de los investigadores y una revisión documental y de prensa. Sus antecedentes y contextualización evidencian las modalidades concretas que toma la PS durante la pandemia en dos contextos con características diversas, permitiendo identificar desafíos y arribar a aprendizajes iniciales sobre el desarrollo de una PS territorialmente situada.

This study aims to analyze the configuration of inequalities in one of Argentina's most significant production zones for fresh vegetables and cut flowers, located in Greater La Plata, Buenos Aires Province. This ongoing anthropological research, initiated in 2021, employs methods such as participant observation, interviews, food mapping, and digital ethnography. Among the main findings, we highlight that this production zone exhibits, in both its origins and daily operations, certain racist dynamics that are not solely generated by the host society toward migrants but are disseminated throughout the social fabric, including by migrant producers themselves.
