Chagas disease, a major public health concern in Latin America, has become a global public health challenge. Switzerland is considered an example in providing healthcare access to migrants, however, Chagas disease remains largely underdiagnosed in the estimated three to four thousand Latin American migrants infected. This paper discusses the sociopolitical and economic factors that contribute to the neglect of Chagas disease in Switzerland. People with irregular migration status face structural constraints that hinder their access to care. The Latin American population in Switzerland, regardless of legal status, faces health inequalities due to the lack of services providing care for Chagas disease. Through a discussion of global inequalities and neoliberal markets, this paper argues that to provide migrants (regardless of their migratory status) with the optimal level of health care, Chagas disease must be considered a local public health issue, rather than an imported Latin American disease.

Around two decades after Argentina’s 2001 crisis, the abortion rights movement flourished, becoming a powerful force against obstacles to reproductive justice in the country and mobilizing massive numbers of people from all walks of life to successfully demand the legalization of abortion. The National Campaign for the Right to Legal, Safe, and Free Abortion was launched in 2005, but the seeds for several of its key features were planted during the collective action surrounding the crisis. This study draws on 105 qualitative interviews with abortion rights advocates, feminists, and activist women in a variety of organizations in Argentina, collected in different stages between 2002 and 2020, to examine how the events of 2001 influenced later organizing. The analysis reveals two central features of the Campaign that can be traced back to mobilization in the crisis: the legacy of a style of politics centered around broad coalition building with diverse constituencies that cross social categories; and lessons about how to advance focused and strategic goals while still engaging broad sectors of society. Broad organizing can be in tension with the narrowing of goals, yet grappling with this tension is necessary for inclusive and effective action. Argentina’s social movement experience shows how activists have managed to successfully advance the targeted cause of abortion rights without relinquishing their desire and efforts to “ cambiarlo todo” (change everything) so reminiscent of the spirit of the 2001 uprising.

Based on an ethnographic study conducted in Catalonia, this paper analyzes the links between migration, precarity, and health among Bolivian women affected by Chagas disease. In a context characterized by precarious migratory conditions tied to the growing internationalization of reproductive labor and these women workers’ insertion into the domestic sphere, an analysis of the political economy of health is key to understanding the processes through which they may seek care, as well as their possibilities for managing Chagas.

While much of the literature on populism has focused on the role of the populist leader in creating political polarization, this work asks what role context, particularly anti-populism, plays in exacerbating the often vitriolic nature of populist rhetoric. This work explores this question by examining the speeches of Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, from 1998 to 2012. It argues that Chavez’s populist rhetoric, initially conciliatory, developed its radical, polarizing features over time in response to the interplay between contextual circumstances (particularly opposition actions and rhetoric) and social welfare goals. The Venezuelan case offers insight into how anti-populism can contribute to populism’s polarizing process and challenges more commonly accepted notions of the primacy of the populist leader in bringing about political polarization. While critiques of populism have often focused on the threat to political rights posed by populism, this analysis suggests that anti-populism’s neglect of social rights and disparagement of popular identity claims may play a role in exacerbating the deep divide between populists and anti-populists.

This article analyzes cultural production in theaters across three pivotal historical moments from the 1980s to the present, including the theater as ruins, refuge, and resistance. It begins with the theater in ruins as depicted in the 1986 film, The Black Sheep, by the legendary playwright, director, and filmmaker, Román Chalbaud, in which a commune of artists, outcasts, and misfits squat in the theater, taking shelter from a storm of state-sponsored neoliberal austerity, corruption, and persecution in the pre-Chávez era of Venezuela. The article then turns to the work of community groups during Chávez-led revolutionary reforms to recuperate abandoned theaters as vital spaces for democratic assembly through municipal government programs. The last section of the article juxtaposes the advanced democratization of theaters and cultural production in Caracas during the Maduro era with a phase of violent street mobilizations in middle-class and wealthy sectors of the city (known as guarimbas), to raise questions about the role of the media as an intervening character in global theaters of illusion. Where the spotlight shifts in location from stages to streets, and the street to the screen, the actual conditions of democratized access are happening behind the unlit marquis, a global majority operating in an ‘underground’ commune in the same scenario as the film. Except in this case, the military-media arm of the US polices the ‘streets’ of the global media commons to malign the Bolivarian Revolution as a black sheep political project. The conclusion points to the media’s role in promoting a dangerous misperception of reality by erasing the constituent power of a revolutionary society and the perpetuation of violence against them.
本文分析了从20世纪80年代至今的三个关键历史时刻的剧院文化生产，包括剧院作为废墟、避难所和抵抗。故事始于1986年由传奇剧作家、导演和电影制作人Román Chalbaud执导的电影《黑羊》（the Black Sheep）中描绘的一座废墟剧院。在pre-Chávez委内瑞拉时代，一群艺术家、被放逐者和不合群的人蹲在剧院里，躲避国家支持的新自由主义紧缩、腐败和迫害的风暴。然后，文章转向Chávez-led革命改革期间社区团体的工作，通过市政府计划，将废弃的剧院恢复为民主集会的重要空间。文章的最后一部分将马杜罗时代加拉加斯剧院和文化生产的先进民主化与城市中产阶级和富裕阶层（称为guarimbas）的暴力街头动员阶段并置，以提出媒体在全球幻觉剧院中作为干预角色的问题。当聚光灯从舞台转移到街道，街道转移到屏幕时，民主化的实际情况发生在未被照亮的侯爵背后，在与电影相同的场景中，全球大多数人在一个“地下”公社中运作。除了在这种情况下，美国的军事媒体部门在全球媒体公地的“街道”上巡逻，将玻利瓦尔革命诋毁为一个败家子的政治项目。结论指出，媒体通过抹杀革命社会的组成力量和对他们的长期暴力，在促进对现实的危险误解方面发挥了作用。

The 2010s could be defined for Latin America as a period of multiple and interrelated transitions. The decay of the “Pink Tide” and the reemergence of different strands of right-wing, authoritarian, and populist political projects was shaped by the impacts of convergent social and ecological crises in the region, particularly in the disputes over extractivism and environmental affairs. This paper examines such transitions in the Latin American region by considering the emancipatory character of different forms of rural political mobilization that confront not only the rise of contemporary forms of right-wing populism and authoritarianism but also their political source, that is, the social fragmentation produced by decades of enforcement of economic and political neoliberalism.

Global systems of capitalist production shape local experiences with health and disease, as well as approaches to infectious disease control. Through participants’ descriptions of health-disease experiences, I explore an alternate route for the prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, beyond a strict focus on vector control. I identify three local enunciations of health-disease processes through the experiences of five different stakeholders. These local enunciations demonstrate a nuanced understanding of health-disease processes and are indicative of unfulfilled local needs and aspirations. Importantly, these local enunciations point to different experiences of dispossession (e.g., material, political, subjective) under neoliberal regimes.

This article examines how the political construction of food markets acts as a strategy for collective action with regards to three rural movements in Brazil: CONTAG, the MST, and Rede Ecovida. Each used food markets to confront the effects of a regime change that occurred with the rise of a populist authoritarian government. The research for this article was conducted between October 2017 and December 2020 through documentary analysis, observation, and interviews with social leaders. The results show how, since Jair Bolsonaro’s election as president, building new markets became vital to movements that sought to resist the influence of authoritarian populism as well as those that sought to dismantle public policies. A comparative analysis between the three movements also demonstrates how their diverse forms of organization and different political projects led to variations in how markets became privileged within larger political campaigns.O artigo discute a construção política de mercados alimentares como estratégia de ação coletiva de três movimentos rurais brasileiros (CONTAG, MST e Rede Ecovida) em face da mudança de regime ocasionada pela ascensão de um governo populista autoritário. A pesquisa foi realizada entre outubro de 2017 e dezembro de 2020, por meio de análise documental, observação e entrevistas com lideranças sociais. Os resultados apontam que, a partir da chegada de Jair Bolsonaro à presidência, a construção de novos mercados tornou-se um componente essencial de resistência ao populismo autoritário e ao consequente desmantelamento das políticas públicas. A análise comparativa entre os três movimentos também demonstra que seus distintos formatos organizacionais e projetos políticos repercutem em diferenças com relação aos mercados privilegiados pela ação política.

This article analyzes the construction of the imaginary created by the Brazilian Indigenous Movement against the historical representations imposed by the non-indigenous, of disappearance, and backwardness. It is based on the study of the speeches of the assemblies of Indigenous chiefs between 1974 and 1977. The crisis of institutional Indigenism, military authoritarianism, and developmentalism announced the extinction of Indigenous peoples. Faced with ethnocidal integrationism, the Indigenous chiefs had to deal with the challenge of ethnic differences, external influence, and dehumanizing stereotypes to build a new ideological framework. This research focuses on the mechanisms that led from an imaginary of disappearance to one of hope in a context of aggressive growth of neoliberal threats against Indigenous lands.
