Andrea Ballestero shows how these ephemeral distinctions are made through four techno-legal devices-formula, index, list and pact. She argues that what is at stake in these devices is not the making of a distinct future, but what counts as the future in the first place. A Future History of Water is an ethnographically rich and conceptually charged journey into ant-filled water meters, fantastical water taxonomies, promises captured on slips of paper, and statistical maneuvers that dissolve the human of human rights. Ultimately, Ballestero demonstrates what happens when instead of trying to fix its meaning, we make water's changing form the precondition of our analyses. 606 $aWater rights$zLatin America 606 $aWater rights$zCosta Rica 606 $aWater rights$zBrazil 606 $aRight to water$zLatin America 606 $aRight to water$zCosta Rica 606 $aRight to water$zBrazil 606 $aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects$zLatin America 606 $aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects$zCosta Rica 606 $aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects$zBrazil 615 0$aWater rights 615 0$aWater rights 615 0$aWater rights 615 0$aRight to water 615 0$aRight to water 615 0$aRight to water 615 0$aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aWater-supply$xPolitical aspects 676 $a333.33/9 700 $aBallestero$b Andrea$f1975-$0980009 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910330707903321 996 $aA future history of water$92235160 997 $aUNINA
