This article examines the role of organization into comunidades nativas (native communities) in the construction of a sense of community among Arakbut settlements of southeastern Peruvian Amazon. Based on ethnographic material, the article argues that communal activities furthered by the comunidad nativa increases social interaction among the settlements’ loosely connected and relatively dispersed kin-based groups, forging a sense of belonging on which a broader collective identity and social bonds are built. Leasing Arakbut lands to mining settlers, however, has become a main source of internal conflict that threatens to split settlements. But rather than leading to settlement fissioning, this internal conflict encourages the Arakbut to use communal assemblies and fiestas to restore social relations and solidarity, thus strengthening the community identity. Therefore, the sense of community arises not only out of cooperative and cohesive social relations, but also out of conflictive and competitive ones.

In the neighbourhood Caminos a la Libertad, located in the north-western part of Quito, every November, a group of Afro-Ecuadorian women called the Community of Saint Martin & The Martinas pay tribute to Saint Martin de Porres “the Black saint of the Afro-descendant community.” This celebration is relevant in a context in which the Afro-Ecuadorian inhabitants of the neighbourhood suffer segregation, racism, and discrimination. What happens in the microcosm of Caminos a la Libertad is, in part, a reflection of the experience of the whole Afro-descendant population in the capital: A city which has historically created an image of itself as white-mestizo, and where the presence of Afro-descendants has been systematically rejected. Based on ethnographic work, participant observation and semi-structured interviews, in this article I analyse how this community uses the image of Saint Martin de Porres and his celebration to combat racism, promote social cohesion and ethnic and gender empowerment in the neighbourhood, by creating “places of enunciation” and “spiritual citizenship.”
每年 11 月，在基多西北部的 Caminos a la Libertad 社区，一群被称为 "圣马丁& 社区 "的非裔厄瓜多尔妇女都会向 "非裔社区的黑人圣人 "圣马丁-德波雷斯致敬。在该社区的非裔厄瓜多尔居民遭受隔离、种族主义和歧视的背景下，这一庆祝活动具有现实意义。在 Caminos a la Libertad 这个缩影中发生的一切在某种程度上反映了首都所有非裔居民的经历：这座城市在历史上一直以白人混血儿的形象示人，非洲人后裔在这里的存在遭到了系统性的排斥。根据人种学研究、参与观察和半结构式访谈，我在本文中分析了该社区如何利用圣马 丁-德波雷斯的形象及其庆祝活动，通过创建 "宣讲场所 "和 "精神公民"，打击种族主 义、促进社会凝聚力以及增强社区的种族和性别赋权。

To deathly stories of marine biodiversity loss, this article adds stories of deep connectivity and multispecies migrations that cut across the simultaneous promotion of coral restoration nearshore and gas exploration offshore in Colombian governmental strategies to meet international commitments in the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. My argument is that these historically and spatially situated relations in the Caribbean of Colombia are elusive—hard to grasp and predict—when using only the lens of extinction. The limits of coral restoration experiments and artisanal fishing far out in the sea indicate vital spaces of transit that transgress shore/nearshore/offshore separations. In this sense, these vital spaces of transit are elusive to the governmental strategies meant to protect coral and fish. This analysis offers a geography of disappearance to extinction studies, an approach to separations within the sea in times of climate change, and attention to a region overlooked in social research.
