The article analyzes the spatial and social organization of the "transformed area of Ragusa" where foreign immigrants live and work. The objective is to return - with the support of statistical data, cartography and photography - the results of a research activity carried out between February 2020 and November 2021 on the socio-territorial characteristics of a context, where the transition from seasonality to intensive crops in greenhouses has not been configured as a transition to a new production of territoriality, with new formulations of the co-evolutionary relation-ship between human settlement and environment, but is the outcome of a socio-economic by its nature deterritorialized and, therefore, organized in an abstract space, homologated, random and artificial. This is a territory where the effects of an agriculture that has become increasingly industrialized and globalized are con-centrated, feeding on a growing exploitation of migrant labour and the ecosystem, also at the hands of an organized crime that controls the management of plastics, agrochemicals and waste that these materials determine.
Keywords: migrants; rights; agriculture; plastics; crime.
