Millions of people around the world daily engage in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM)-a vital part of total global gold production. For Colombia, this mining accounts for most of the precious metal's output. It has also made Colombia, per capita, the worst mercury-polluted country in the world. Though cleaner, safer, and more effective methods exist, miners yet opt for mercury-use. Any success with interventions in technology, capacitation, or policy has been limited. This dissertation attends to mercury-use in ASGM in Antioquia, Colombia, via two gaps: a descriptive one (i.e., a failure to pay attention to, and to describe, actual practices in ASGM); and, a theoretical one (i.e., explanations as to why some decisions, including but not limited to policy, succeed or fail). In addition to an ecology of practices, embodiment, and situated knowledges, phenomenological interviews with stakeholders illuminate critical lived experience, as well as whether or how it is possible to reduce mercury-use and contamination. Furthermore, a novel application of speculative sound supplements this work. Finally, key findings complement existing scholarship. The presence of gold drives mining, but an increase in mining comes at a cost. Miners know mercury is hazardous, but mining legally, or formally, has proven too onerous. So, mercury-use persists: it is profitable, and the effects on human health can seem delayed. The state is pivotal to change in mercury-use, but its approach has been punitive. Change will invariably require greater attention to the lived experiences of miners.
