Entre sus hallazgos más notables destaca el siguiente: la primera siembra de este monocultivo en condiciones no experimentales fue, posiblemente, llevada a cabo por el presidente Miguel Alemán en su finca Sayula (Veracruz), a principios de la década de 1950. Pero esta historia nos revela, además, cómo el Estado mexicano, protagonista de la expansión del cultivo, empleó la palma como una estrategia de modernidad capitalista (bajo preceptos nacionalistas, primero, y neoliberales, después) para transformar al campesinado y a la naturaleza en regiones de frontera tropical que fueron explotadas en pos del desarrollo nacional. El artículo concluye que los monocultivos deben ser entendidos no solo como proyectos económicos (relacionados con procesos de despojo y precarización laboral), sino también culturales (orientados a construir nuevos sujetos adecuados a las necesidades del mercado).","PeriodicalId":46531,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Geography","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136172777","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}

This paper has a twofold goal: to present a review of typologies developed to categorize urban areas in Brazil, and the Amazon region in particular; and to assess the extent to which these different typologies can be used to distinguish the singularities of small towns in the region. Most typologies do not capture the diversity of urban realities in the region; this needs to be considered in public policy programs.","PeriodicalId":46531,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Geography","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136172761","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}

En paralelo a ello, se intentó borrar su contraparte folclórica urbana: la cueca brava. La cueca brava permaneció en gran medida oculta de la vida pública chilena durante la represión cultural que acompañó al régimen de Pinochet entre 1973 y 1990. A pesar de lo anterior, hoy en día observamos un resurgimiento de la cueca brava, el cual está asociado al regreso a la democracia en Chile en la década de 1990. Utilizando una visión informada por la geografía y el sentido de lugar, examinamos el resurgimiento de la cueca brava en Santiago con la finalidad de comprender cómo las tradiciones musicales del pasado ofrecen sustento para la construcción de identidades chilenas contemporáneas. Para ello intentamos caracterizar el movimiento de cueca brava actual empleando observación participante, análisis lírico y entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas a cuequeros en Santiago de Chile. Desde un punto de vista teórico, nuestro trabajo está basado en el concepto de comunidades imaginadas de Benedict Anderson, la teoría de la identidad (social) y la noción de memoria cultural de Jan Assmann. Luego de examinar cómo los cuequeros interactúan con la memoria, la historia, y el lugar, proponemos que las construcciones socio-espaciales del resurgimiento contemporáneo de la cueca brava generan nuevas identidades individuales y colectivas fortalecidas por una relación dialógica entre el pasado y el presen","PeriodicalId":46531,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Geography","volume":"22 1","pages":"31 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43350035","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}

Martha Bell is Associate Professor of Geography and Environment at Ponti%cia Universidad Católica del Perú, where she researches historical landscapes and resource use, as well as climate change and disasters in Peru. Jessica Budds is Professor of Development Geography at Universität Bonn, where she works on the relationship between economic change, environmental governance and social development, with a particular focus on the water sector, and with experience in Brazil, Chile, and Peru. First and foremost, we would like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution of Johnny Finn, who developed several important initiatives upon which we will build. One such initiative is the possibility of translating selected articles from Spanish and Portuguese into English, thus supporting the journal’s role in increasing access to the work of geographers in and of Latin America writing in these languages. A second initiative is the broadening of submission formats to include JLAG perspectives and retrospectives, special issues, and cover art. Together, these projects help to expand JLAG content, enriching and diversifying our discipline. We are excited to continue to work with Johnny as part of our dedicated team of Associate Editors, which also comprises Eugenio Arima, Gabriela Valdivia, and Jörn Seemann –who additionally serves as Book Review Editor– and Visual Content Editor, Diana Tung. &e editorial team is supported by JLAG’s International Editorial Board, members of the CLAG community, and peer reviewers from far and wide, whose inputs we gratefully acknowledge. On the production side, we remain in the safe hands of our production manager, Yulia Garcia Sarduy, and the colleagues who translate, copyedit, and typeset the papers that you read. We also thank the CLAG board for accepting our proposal to transition from Associate Editors (since 2017 and 2020, respectively) to Co-Editors, and for the opportunity to lead and further develop the journal. Our aim is to consolidate the position of JLAG as a top choice for geographers writing on Latin America through showcasing the many themes, topics, theoretical perspectives, and methodologies that make Latin American geography such a rich and dynamic research area. We recognize, and will seek to enhance, the journal’s status as an independent, non-corporate, non-pro%t, and linguistically accessible outlet for our community. As such, our %rst major initiative will be to boost the pro%le of the journal in an expanding and increasingly competitive market, by fulfilling existing plans to ensure that the journal is fully indexed on major academic platforms.
