This article explores the intersections between dictatorial regimes and individualized forms of repression, mainly in the area of sexuality. By comparing “Blokes,” a short story by Chilean LGBTQ+ writer and activist Pedro Lemebel, with its film adaptation (directed by Marialy Rivas), I will analyze the political climate in Chile during Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990) and the way it affected everyday life. The protagonist, a teenager, is doubly censored and reprimanded due to his rejection of the heterosexual normative. In dictatorial regimes, repression is always present, pertaining not only to political and ideological spheres, but also to more intimate and private spaces. The article sheds light on some of the restrictions suffered by the protagonist, how those restrictions are interiorized by him and how he tries to restrict others, following in a way the notion that violence begets violence (authoritarianism begets authoritarianism).

The ideas of peace and peacebuilding seem to be universal and uncontroversial. However, the implementation of the Havana Peace Agreements has evidenced that this is not so, and that there are many ideas of peace and of how to build peace at the community level. This article aims to understand how the Peace Community of Apartadó perceives and experiences the Havana Peace Agreements, considering the ongoing violence and political exclusion of ethnic minorities and peasant populations in the territory. We will map out the main obstacles for the implementation of the Agreements, as well as the debate over how the community has mobilized to overcome violence and build peace within the territory. Through the analysis of everyday practices and the community’s discourse, we argue that there are processes that precede and go beyond the Havana Agreements, and that the community’s understanding of the conflict, as well as its daily peace-building practices, based on their knowledge and notions of land tenure, work and food sovereignty, are important sources of knowledge for constructing long-lasting peace models.

This essay offers a critical reading of the work of Enrique Dussel on the colonial history of modernity and the possibility of a plural trans-modern future. Dussel’s transmodernity points to a plural vision of global modernity, opening multiple possible modes of being and thinking. I critically analyze Dussel’s concept of the periphery and the “other” of colonial history, arguing for the importance of a materialist and non-absolute vision of the other. I consider the possibilities of dialogue in a transmodern framework in the wake of the battlefield of colonization. Emphasizing South-South and North-South dialogues, I argue for a plural vision that engages both rational-epistemic practices and creative passions that are not strictly epistemic. En este texto, analizo críticamente la obra de Enrique Dussel sobre la historia colonial de la modernidad y defiendo la posibilidad de un futuro transmoderno plural. La transmodernidad de Dussel apunta a una visión plural de la modernidad global, abriendo múltiples modos posibles de ser y de pensar. Analizo críticamente el concepto de Dussel de la periferia y del “otro” de la historia colonial, argumento por la importancia de una visión materialista y no absoluta del otro. A partir de esto, considero las posibilidades del diálogo en un marco transmoderno sobre el trasfondo de la colonización. Al enfatizar los diálogos Sur-Sur y Norte-Sur, defiendo una visión plural que comprometa tanto las prácticas racional-epistémicas como las pasiones creativas que no son estrictamente epistémicas.

This essay is an effort to explain the social theory put forward by Aníbal Quijano by demonstrating how coloniality (which is in itself a diagnosis of the present) is a phenomenon that allows one to address problems while offering solutions at the same time. These problems include: metatheoretical or onto-epistemological issues (coloniality of being, power, and knowledge), social order (the influence of coloniality on various spheres of social life), social change (historical/diachronic relationships between modernization and colonialism), and social action (an issue that is examined in this article in terms of the formation of subjectivities). Em um esforço de explicitar a teoria social produzida por Aníbal Quijano, demonstrarei como a colonialidade, em si um diagnóstico do presente, é fenômeno abarcador que oferece respostas a problemas: metateóricos ou onto-epistemológicos (colonialidade do ser, poder, saber); da ordem social (influência da colonialidade em diversas esferas da vida social), da mudança social (as relações histórico-diacrônicas entre modernização e colonialismo) e da ação social (aqui tratada em termos de formação de subjetividades).

This article reflects on the political decolonization of nature using the perspective developed by Enrique Dussel that is based on a critique of the modern/colonial world-system. We first analyze how the concept of political decolonization is defined and the central role it plays within Latin American critical thought. Secondly, we reexamine how Eurocentrism influenced the way in which nature has been interpreted in Latin America. Thirdly, we look at how the concept of nature was appropriated by coloniality to serve a commercial purpose. Finally, we argue how Dussel’s Politics of Liberation contributed towards liberating nature from a Eurocentric matrix as well as how it impacts various social groups such as indigenous populations, traditional peoples, Black communities, women, and workers.

What is the Amazon? At first sight, the question may seem inconsequential, or even silly. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, home to millions of species, many of which are still to be catalogued. From a geographical perspective, however, the Amazon is more than the rainforest, encompassing a large region of South America in the basin of the Amazon River, and spanning across eight South American countries and France—the only European power that retains a direct colonial foothold in the region. The sheer size of the Amazon beggars belief. Without denying the immensity of the Amazon, we believe a better way to approach it is by emphasizing not vastness or pristine nature, but spectacular multiplicity. That is, we are interested in the internal variety of ways of life, state policies, and challenges in the region. With COP30 set to take place in Belém, a city in the Brazilian Amazon, the region is once again in the spotlight and the subject of exoticizing narratives. In this context, this special issue of Latin American Perspectives is the first in the journal to ever be entirely dedicated to the Amazon. It does not attempt to offer a totalizing or synthesizing view of the Amazon. Instead, the eleven original articles collected here, alongside a set of literary texts from Amazonian writers, embrace and showcase the multiplicity of approaches, styles, methodologies, imaginations, and narratives that can be built around the Amazon. The articles not only offer analysis of a range of themes, but also include empirical material on different parts of the region in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

In this article, we present a collection of texts and images by four Amazonian authors from the state of Pará, Brazil: Juanielson Silva, Jéssica de Miranda Matos, Thiago Kazu and Thiago Batista. Through their poetic approaches, we aim to share other ways of accessing the reality of Amazonia. We thus propose an alternative to the production of knowledge about the Amazon region, which has been dominated by conservation science from research centers abroad, be it in Florida, London, or other economic centers. International cooperation—including those responsible for the exploitation of land and life—adapts the discourse of “valuing the forest” through commodification and praise for the “guardians of the forest.” The exoticizing, fixated, and colonial gaze sometimes omits the multiplicity of local practices and languages, dynamics that make up sociocultural reproduction in the region. In this sense, through the texts, we seek to glimpse gaps in reality, fragments of space, time, and affections, where ways of life survive and are reworked, producing and constructing their own contemporaneity. Neste artigo apresentamos um conjunto de textos e imagens de cinco autores amazônicos paraenses, Juanielson Silva, Jéssica de Miranda Matos, Thiago Kazu e Thiago Batista. Propomos, assim, uma alternativa à produção de conhecimento sobre a região amazônica, que tem sido dominada pela ciência da conservação de centros de pesquisa alhures, seja na Flórida, em Londres e em outros centros econômicos. As cooperações internacionais – inclusive as responsáveis pela exploração da terra e da vida – adapta o discurso de “valorizar a floresta” por meio da mercantilização e elogiar os “guardiões da floresta”. O olhar exotizante, fixador e colonial omite, por vezes, a multiplicidade de práticas e linguagens locais, dinâmicas que compõem a reprodução sociocultural na região. Neste sentido, através dos textos queremos entrever brechas de realidades, fragmentos de espaço, tempo e afetos, onde modos de vida sobrevivem e se reelaboram, ao produzir e fabular a sua própria contemporaneidade.
在这篇文章中，我们展示了来自巴西帕尔州的四位亚马逊作家的文字和图片：Juanielson Silva， jassica de Miranda Matos， Thiago Kazu和Thiago Batista。通过他们诗意的方式，我们的目标是分享进入亚马逊现实的其他方式。因此，我们提出了一种关于亚马逊地区的知识生产的替代方案，这种知识一直被来自国外研究中心的保护科学所主导，无论是在佛罗里达、伦敦还是其他经济中心。国际合作——包括那些对土地和生命的开发负责的人——通过商品化和对“森林守护者”的赞美来适应“重视森林”的话语。这种异域化的、固定的、殖民式的目光有时会忽略当地习俗和语言的多样性，以及构成该地区社会文化再生产的动力。从这个意义上说，通过文本，我们试图瞥见现实中的差距，空间，时间和情感的碎片，生活方式在其中生存并被重新加工，生产和构建自己的当代性。Neste artigo展示了与文本和图像有关的文本和图像的结合amazônicos paraenses， Juanielson Silva, jastsica de Miranda Matos， Thiago Kazu和Thiago Batista。propromos, assim, uma alternativa produce o de conhechecimento de sohechecimento a regies o amazônica, que tem sido dominada pela ciência . de conservatial o de centrros de pesquisa alhures, seja na Flórida, em Londres e em outros centros econômicos。由于cooperações internionais - -包括responsáveis pela explorationa - - o de terra - - o da vida - -适应于“valorizar a floresta”的论述，也适应于“polorizar a floresta”的论述，也适应于“polorizar a mercantiliza - - p”的论述，因此适应于“guardiões da floresta”。O olhar exotizante, fixador e colonial omite，穷人，a multiplicidade de práticas e linguagens locais, dinmicas que compõem a reproduction O社会文化na regite O。Neste sentido, atravizans do textes queremes de realidades, fragmentos de espalado, tempo e afetos， ondodos de vida sovevem e se rere精制，onproduczir e fabulular a sua própria contemporanidade。

Through their poetic approaches, we aim to share other ways of accessing the reality of Amazonia. We thus propose an alternative to the production of knowledge about the Amazon region, which has been dominated by conservation science from research centers abroad, be it in Florida, London, or other economic centers. International cooperation—including those responsible for the exploitation of land and life—adapts the discourse of “valuing the forest” through commodification and praise for the “guardians of the forest.” The exoticizing, fixated, and colonial gaze sometimes omits the multiplicity of local practices and languages, dynamics that make up sociocultural reproduction in the region. In this sense, through the texts, we seek to glimpse gaps in reality, fragments of space, time, and affections, where ways of life survive and are reworked, producing and constructing their own contemporaneity.

Specialized literature suggests that non-timber forest products are fundamental for the bioeconomy and sustainable development in the Amazon, boosting local economies and reducing the environmental impacts of extractive economic activities. However, extant research has underestimated the role of a key actor in this process: Indigenous women. This paper examines gender relations in the shiringa value chain in the Tuntanaín Communal Reserve, Peru, identifying both the challenges and opportunities that might lead to a more equitable and sustainable participation of women in shiringa production. La literatura especializada sugiere que los productos forestales no maderables son fundamentales para la bioeconomía y el desarrollo sostenible en la Amazonía, al impulsar economías locales y reducir los impactos ambientales de actividades económicas extractivas. No obstante, las investigaciones existentes han subestimado el papel de un actor clave en este proceso: las mujeres indígenas. Este estudio analiza las relaciones de género en la cadena de valor de la shiringa en la Reserva Comunal Tuntanaín, Perú, con el objetivo de identificar los desafíos y las oportunidades para una participación más equitativa y sostenible de las mujeres en su producción.
