abstract:Post-truth has become a widespread but malevolent force throughout Latin America. While it has received attention from sociologists and philosophers, its spatial dimensions have been overlooked. This essay first outlines the fundamentals of post-truth. Second, it ties post-truth to neoliberalism. Third, it sketches the social bases of post-truth in Latin America, including the corporatization of media and the explosion of social media. It links post-truth to the hegemony of neoliberalism in the region. Then it offers a series of vignettes designed to illustrate that post-truth takes varying forms in different national contexts, including Donald Trump's border wall, Jair Bolsonaro's Brazil, Venezuela under Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, and several other countries.resumen:La posverdad se ha convertido en una fuerza ampliamente extendida pero maligna en toda América Latina. Mientras es cierto que sociólogos y filósofos le han prestado atención, sus dimensiones espaciales han sido pasadas por alto. Este ensayo comienza delineando los fundamentos de la posverdad. En segundo lugar, establece la relación de la posverdad con el neoliberalismo. En tercer lugar, delinea las bases sociales de la posverdad en América Latina, incluyendo la corporatización de los medios de comunicación y la explosión de las redes sociales. Seguidamente se establece un vínculo de la posverdad con la hegemonía del neoliberalismo en la región. Luego ofrece una serie de viñetas diseñadas para ilustrar que la posverdad adquiere formas variadas en diferentes contextos nacionales, incluido el muro fronterizo de Donald Trump, el Brasil de Jair Bolsonaro, Venezuela bajo Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro, y varios otros países.

abstract: Drawing on in-depth empirical research with members of the Pataxó Indigenous group in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan region, Brazil, this article moves beyond spatially fixed understandings of Indigenous territoriality. Instead, it demonstrates that Indigenous territoriality should be understood as multi-local, spanning rural and urban locations within and beyond a national territory. We analyse a series of interrelated multi-local territorial practices by the Pataxó and demonstrate how their mobility is shaped by relationships with the state, engagement in economic activities, and family ties. Our research shows that the Pataxó are engaged in continuous territorial movements and that each territory is insufficient—although all are necessary—for these people to meet their diverse needs. We argue that looking at these mobility dynamics relationally allows for a more holistic conceptualisation of Indigenous territoriality. Our work is based on original empirical research and makes connections to wider trends that have been observed in several metropolitan regions in Latin America. resumo: Com base em uma pesquisa empírica com membros da etnia indígena Pataxó na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Brasil, este artigo vai além de entendimentos espacialmente fixos da territorialidade indígena. Em vez disso, demonstra que a territorialidade indígena deve ser entendida como multilocal, abrangendo locais rurais e urbanos dentro e fora de um território nacional. Analisamos uma série de práticas territoriais multilocais dos Pataxó e demonstramos como sua mobilidade é moldada pelas relações com o Estado, pelo envolvimento em atividades econômicas e pelas redes familiares. Nossa pesquisa mostra que os Pataxó estão envolvidos em movimentos territoriais contínuos e que cada território é insuficiente-embora todos sejam necessários-para que os indígenas atendam às suas diversas necessidades. Argumentamos que analisar essa dinâmica de mobilidade de forma relacional permite um entendimento mais abrangente da territorialidade indígena. Nosso trabalho se baseia em uma pesquisa empírica original e faz conexões com tendências observadas em outras regiões metropolitanas da América Latina.

resumen: Desde 2013, la paralización de la pesca de arrastre de camarón en Costa Rica ha generado una importante conflictividad, entre un sector social que exige el cierre total de la pesquería por sus impactos socioambientales, y otro que aboga por su aprovechamiento sostenible en favor del desarrollo socioeconómico. Esta conflictividad ilustra cómo los océanos están siendo cada vez más problematizados como espacios de preocupación ambiental y, en general, sobre qué es un océano sostenible. Se analiza cómo los diversos actores involucrados en este conflicto, a través de prácticas discursivas, problematizan la degradación y el agotamiento de los sistemas marino-costeros en Costa Rica, y cómo este proceso genera una nueva reconfiguración de la gobernanza con consecuencias sociomateriales desiguales para sus habitantes. Se muestra cómo el discurso, que logró su institucionalización, posicionó sus ideas sobre la sostenibilidad del golfo de Nicoya, relacionadas con nuevos recursos económicamente rentables y sostenibles, al mismo tiempo que estigmatizó el recurso camarón y la pesca de arrastre como actividad productiva. Esta nueva reconfiguración ha tenido como principales perdedores a los actores más vulnerables: los pescadores asalariados y sus familias, profundizando las relaciones desiguales de clase y criminalizando sus medios de vida. abstract: Since 2013, the cessation of shrimp trawling in Costa Rica has produced a significant conflict between fishing-related actors supporting the total closure of the fishery due to its socio-environmental impacts, and others advocating for its sustainable use to foster socioeconomic development. This conflict illustrates how the oceans are increasingly contested as spaces of environmental concern and, more generally, about what is considered to be a sustainable ocean. Through discursive practices, we analyze how the various actors involved in this conflict contested the degradation and depletion of coastal environments in Costa Rica, and how this process reconfigured governance, with unequal socio-material consequences. It shows how the discourse that institutionalized these new forms of governance framed new economically profitable activities in the Gulf of Nicoya as sustainable, while at the same time positioning the shrimp resource and its trawling as a productive activity that was unsustainable. The reconfigured governance has most negatively affected the most vulnerable actors, namely salaried fishermen and their families, by exacerbating unequal class relations and criminalizing their livelihoods.
