abstract:During the twentieth century, the Buenos Aires metropolitan area underwent a process of significant territorial and demographic growth. Highly heterogeneous peripheries were formed through the different migratory flows arriving in the city. The disparate ways the state has intervened in the metropolitan area, the logic of the market, and the practices of residents have produced spatial and social divisions beyond the classic center-periphery pattern. Furthermore, the asymmetrical provision of infrastructure and services has resulted in heterogeneous spatial quality in the peripheries, according to their location and position in the urbanization process. Thus, throughout the expansion and metropolization of the city during the twentieth century, different peripheries were produced: inner peripheries, former peripheries, and new urban peripheries. This article examines the urban, housing, and population dynamics of the inner and former peripheries in the metropolitan area from a comparative perspective. It analyzes settlement processes, the quality of housing stock, and infrastructure, with attention to the economic and political factors that have influenced them in the inner and former peripheries. The approach is based on data from the Spatial Mobility Survey (EME) applied to different housing submarkets on the fringes of the metropolitan area. We contend that it is impossible to speak of a single periphery. On the contrary, it is necessary to think about multiple peripheries in order to understand the processes shaping the inner and suburban fringes. In Buenos Aires, modes of housing production have shaped peripheral spaces that, despite being functionally integrated into the metropolis, retain their status as peripheries strongly marked by their morphology and land market dynamics.resumen:Durante el siglo XX, el área metropolitana de Buenos Aires experimentó un proceso de gran expansión territorial y demográfica.

abstract:The aim of this paper is to explore the development of cartography during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. It analyzes the maps produced by government agencies, research groups and grassroots activist organizations. The analysis demonstrates that cartography became an instrument mobilized for different purposes: to inform, to communicate, to guide, to analyze, and to mobilize subjects and solidarity. However, these different forms of cartography should also be viewed within a context of power relations and struggles. Contested narratives regarding the pandemic and the responses to it, as well as the tools of cartography employed, are revealed as dimensions of these power relations.resumo:O objetivo deste texto é debater a produção cartográfica no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil. São analisadas cartografias governamentais, de grupos de pesquisa e de grupos ativistas de base. As análises mostram que a cartografia foi um instrumento mobilizado com diversas funções, tais como informar, comunicar, orientar, analisar, mobilizar sujeitos e solidariedades. Entretanto, essa produção deve ser vista dentro de jogos e disputas de poder. Disputas de narrativas sobre a pandemia, sobre as respostas e reações a ela, assim como os próprios instrumentos de produção cartográfica utilizados, são aspectos mostrados como dimensões destas relações de poder.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: As researchers conducting fieldwork in the era of COVID-19 in Mexico and Guatemala, we observed how the pandemic dramatically altered small-scale food production systems. Given the differentiated impacts of COVID-19 on agri-food systems and the diversity of strategies implemented across scales in Mexico and Central America (Lopez-Ridaura et al., 2021), we present three perspectives to highlight the variability in socioeconomic disruptions, local market alterations, and responses among (a) smallholder members of Guatemalan farmer organizations involved in agroecology from A.M. Rice, (b) agroecological producers in Oaxaca, Mexico from L.M. Choi, and (c) small-scale fishers in Baja California Sur (BCS), Mexico from J.W. Dean. We find variability in the effects of supply chain disruptions and the spectrum of shifts to alternative products or markets, as mediated through localized producer networks. We focus on the immediate impacts and responses to the pandemic (reporting primarily on fieldwork between 2020–2022).
以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:作为在 COVID-19 年代在墨西哥和危地马拉开展实地调查的研究人员,我们观察到这一流行病如何极大地改变了小规模粮食生产系统。考虑到 COVID-19 对农业食品系统的不同影响,以及在墨西哥和中美洲不同规模实施的战略的多样性(Lopez-Ridaura et al、2021 年),我们从三个角度强调了社会经济干扰、当地市场变化以及以下人员应对措施的差异性:(a) A.M. Rice 所述危地马拉农民组织中参与生态农业的小农成员;(b) L.M. Choi 所述墨西哥瓦哈卡州的生态农业生产者;(c) J.W. Dean 所述墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州(BCS)的小规模渔民。我们发现,供应链中断的影响和向替代产品或市场转移的范围存在差异,并通过本地化的生产者网络进行调解。我们重点关注大流行病的直接影响和应对措施(主要报告 2020-2022 年间的实地调查情况)。

readers on a theoretically rich journey that explores the collective identities of Indigenous communities in Argentina. His ethnographic research focuses on Mapuche peoples in the Argentine province of Neuquén. His theoretical framework is grounded in discourses surrounding Indigenous autonomy and neoliberal multiculturalism. In situating his ethnography within this framework, he argues that Indigenous collective identities are formed through struggles and adaptions to the formation of the neoliberal state. In many instances, the Mapuche identity is shaped by outright anti-state expressions. In others, there is negotiation and collaboration with the state that also serves to mold the collective identity of the Mapuche. Savino allows for some extrapolation, but for the most part his findings are, appropriately, confined to the Mapuche in Neuquén. To the extent that extrapolation is appropriate, Savino’s argument is specific to contexts in which Indigenous groups constitute a significant minority of the population. As he points out, in this case, “[O]nly around 2.4 percent of the population in Argentina self-identifies as Indigenous” (p. 6). These numbers are regionally specific in Argentina, however, hence the need for localized ethnography. The Mapuche comprise 15 percent of the population of Neuquén province. Savino stresses the importance of an Lucas Savino Decolonizing Patagonia: Mapuche Peoples and State Formation in Argentina.

Fever, an audiovisual registry of environmental harms, human rights violations, and repression caused by Goldcorp Inc.’s mining operation in the western highlands of Guatemala, Noam Chomsky says, “You cannot say the mining companies are responsible for General Efraín Ríos Montt’s slaughter but they are benefiting from the structures that were left in place after those many years of savagery and violence and repression” (Haines & Haines, 2013, minute 14:30). For Indigenous peoples in Guatemala, contemporary mining practices are experienced within a lingering legacy of colonialism and genocide (see Lovell & Lutz, 1996; Solano, 2005). Testimonio narrates the history of mining in Guatemala—one of emblematic impunity—and raises the voices and stories of the resilience of Indigenous communities who are dialectically defined by the history of injustices they have faced, even after transitioning from a military dictatorship to a multicultural democracy. The postwar context shaped many aspects of the current Guatemalan anti-mining movement.

诺姆-乔姆斯基说:"你不能说矿业公司要为埃弗拉因-里奥斯-蒙特将军的屠杀负责,但他们正受益于多年野蛮、暴力和镇压后留下的结构"(Haines & Haines,2013 年,第 14:30 分钟)。对于危地马拉的原住民而言,当代的采矿活动是在殖民主义和种族灭绝的遗留影响下进行的(见 Lovell & Lutz,1996 年;Solano,2005 年)。Testimonio 讲述了危地马拉的采矿史--一段具有象征意义的有罪不罚的历史--并唤起了土著社区的声音和故事,这些社区即使在从军事独裁过渡到多元文化民主之后,也被他们所面临的不公正历史辩证地定义为具有韧性。战后背景塑造了当前危地马拉反采矿运动的许多方面。1996 年的《和平协定》允许激进主义扩散,但正如该书所显示的,种族灭绝的遗留问题仍在继续。Culture regions, homelands, and ethnic archipelagos in the United States:Methodological considerations.Journal of Cultural Geography, 13(2), 13-29. https:// doi.org/10.1080/08873639309478386

resumen:El surgimiento de las ontologías no dualistas, en combinación con el renovado interés en las cosmovisiones relacionales de los pueblos originarios, han venido forjando nuevos marcos analíticos que buscan una revalorización de mundos, conocimientos y saberes construidos desde los pueblos del sur global. Un importante proyecto para recuperar este "pluriverso" es el marco de las Epistemologías del Sur, el cual se emplea en este artículo para estudiar la geografía de conflictos en el resguardo indígena Cañamomo y Lomaprieta, en el departamento de Caldas, Colombia. A partir de un análisis de entrevistas cualitativas que se efectuaron en dicho resguardo, en el periodo 2018–2020, se argumenta que la lucha por la minería aurífera ancestral no solo es una lucha ontológica por el territorio ancestral, sino también una lucha epistemológica en defensa de los saberes, prácticas y conocimientos mineros ancestrales. Estas dimensiones ontoepistemológicas sirven de insumo para dar una definición emergente de la minería aurífera ancestral. Así, la contribución que se realiza en este artículo tiene una doble finalidad: por un lado, aportar conocimientos que estimulen debates desde el sur global, sobre las luchas ontológicas y la construcción de territorialidades alternativas en zonas mineras y, por el otro lado, contribuir a la discusión actual sobre la minería ancestral en Colombia.abstract:The emergence of non-dualist ontologies, in combination with a renewed interest in relational worldviews of indigenous peoples, has forged new analytical frameworks that seek to reevaluate worldviews and knowledge systems of marginalized peoples in the Global South. An important project to recover this "pluriverse" is the Epistemologies of the South framework, which is used in this article to analyze the geography of conflicts in the Cañamomo and Lomaprieta indigenous reservation in the department of Caldas, Colombia. Based on an analysis of qualitative interviews that were carried out in this indigenous reservation during the period 2018–2020, I argue that the struggle for ancestral gold mining is not only an ontological struggle for ancestral territory, but also an epistemological struggle in defense of ancestral mining knowledge and practices. These onto-epistemological dimensions serve as inputs for an emerging definition of ancestral gold mining. As such, the contribution made in this article has a dual purpose: on the one hand, it seeks to provide knowledge that stimulates debates from the Global South on ontological struggles and the construction of alternative territorialities in mining areas while, on the other hand, it contributes to current debates on ancestral mining in Colombia.

Based on an analysis of qualitative interviews that were carried out in this indigenous reservation during the period 2018–2020, I argue that the struggle for ancestral gold mining is not only an ontological struggle for ancestral territory, but also an epistemological struggle in defense of ancestral mining knowledge and practices. These onto-epistemological dimensions serve as inputs for an emerging definition of ancestral gold mining. As such, the contribution made in this article has a dual purpose: on the one hand, it seeks to provide knowledge that stimulates debates from the Global South on ontological struggles and the construction of alternative territorialities in mining areas while, on the other hand, it contributes to current debates on ancestral mining in Colombia.","PeriodicalId":46531,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139343839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
