Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This article focuses on the centrality of the body in the experiences of disaster and activism in two asbestos-contaminated sites in Italy and Brazil. Asbestos-related disasters appear and reveal their impact primarily through the body of the exposed person who experiences the symptoms of the diseases caused by the inhalation of the carcinogenic fibres of asbestos minerals. Then, the “natural”, social and corporeal, being-in-the-world of a person is upset. However, the contaminated body is not only the place where the disaster becomes violently evident, but it is also the place of a memory since it preserves the traces of such disasters, which often remain invisible. The body acts as a tool of knowledge and struggle through the language and the practices of activism. From the embodied suffering then a new knowledge and new practices emerge that give concreteness to objectives of social justice, in the daily life of the exposed and survivors.
