The research for this article examines the characteristics of the marine-coastal environment from the perspectives of a range of social actors. Knowledge of maritimacies can serve as an input for management of marine-coastal environments that takes into account the diverse types of humanity found there, by emphasizing that these processes are not just physical and ecological, but also social, economic, cultural, and historical. An ethnographic methodology allows for mapping the perspectives of social actors, their points of view, and different ways of life. The result was a systemization of maritimacies, which can contribute to thinking about and building a sustainable Blue Economy that recognizes and involves those who inhabit the coast and the sea in Uruguay by considering the heterogeneity and complexity of their social networks.

This article analyzes how the Escuela-Ayllu of Warisata in Bolivia challenged the feudal system known as gamonalismo in the 1930s-1940s within the broader context of Indigenous struggle. It demonstrates that distinct currents of Indigenous education, including indigenismo, Caciques-Apoderados’ Centro Educativo de Aborígenes “Bartolomé de las Casas,” and Alcaldes Mayores Particulares’ escuelas particulares, informed the Escuela-Ayllu’s community-led education. It argues that Warisata’s community members turned the Escuela-Ayllu into a political space of communal democracy that undermined the rural order structured by internal colonialism.
本文分析了 20 世纪 30 年代至 40 年代，玻利维亚瓦里萨塔阿尤鲁学校如何在土著斗争的大背景下挑战被称为 "伽马纳主义 "的封建制度。研究表明，土著教育的不同潮流，包括土著主义、Caciques-Apoderados 的土著教育中心 "Bartolomé de las Casas "和 Alcaldes Mayores Particulares 的特殊学校，为 Escuela-Ayllu 的社区主导教育提供了依据。报告认为，瓦里萨塔的社区成员将 Escuela-Ayllu 变成了社区民主的政治空间，破坏了由国内殖民主义构建的农村秩序。

This article categorizes the resistance strategies used by traditional fishers on the coast of Paraná, Brazil, against local authorities that seek to deterritorialize their territories. Documentary sources and interviews with informants were used as part of this research. The local traditional fishing sector is not immune to external pressure. The resistance strategies of this group can be classified into eight categories. We find that the local traditional fishers already lost much of their territory during the last few decades, and the pressures they face continue to increase. However, the rise in resistance actions throughout the twenty-first century allowed this group to engage with new perspectives concerning their struggle for territory. This is a fight that is active in its effort to guarantee the rights of traditional fishing communities in Paraná.

This article provides an overview of the impacts of the current Colombian extractivist development model on peasant, Afro-descendant, and Indigenous communities’ territorial seas ( maritorium) in the Colombian Caribbean. We reflect on the implications of a gradual penetration of concepts such as the blue economy in national public policy. The impacts of activities such as port infrastructure, oil drilling and mining, tourism and industrial fishing, are briefly analyzed, using examples gathered in different parts of the region where growing dispossession is evident. The article ends with a reflection on the various forms of resistance employed by these communities today to confront the plundering of their living spaces associated with coastlines and the sea.

This article inquires into the workings of Zapatista Seed Pedagogics’ (ZSP) building of a political-ethical commons outside the movement’s autonomous territories. Parting from a previous theorization of ZSP as a decolonizing educational process, this writing draws on interviews with external activists of neozapatista networks who have encountered and/or accompanied the movement in the last three decades. These evolving conversations reflect on their learnings in what is a life-long pedagogical process. These include: 1) an ongoing struggle for dismantling internalized hierarchies and vanguards in habits of thinking, being, and doing; 2) the recuperation of historical ancestral memory that builds collective subjectivity; and 3) the organization of collectivities that participate in a common political-ethical territory of struggle transcending nation-state identities. This exploration of ZSP reveals reflexive conscientization in subjects willing to learn and listen differently, suggesting the emergence of a transgeographic political-ethical subject immersed in a co-construction of knowledge with Zapatismo itself.

During the 2015 post-electoral conflict in the municipality of Oxchuc, Chiapas, came the demand for the election of municipal authorities through its own internal regulatory system. After going through several phases, proponents of change in electoral proceedings obtained legal recognition for Indigenous self-government. This achievement led to an interlude in the long history of political conflict and social change in the municipality. In this article we examine the contemporary history, processes, and recent political developments in the municipality of Oxchuc, which led to institutional recognition of this municipality’s self-government.

The contemporary phase of capitalism has led to an intensification of the process of “accumulation by dispossession,” which entails a growing conflict between territorial displacement and indigenous resistances. These conflicts manifest in projects for autonomy that take on diverse forms. Here, we address the origins of these various concepts of autonomy while focusing on their corresponding dilemmas and strategic choices across different historical contexts. Finally, we look at the examples of Zapatista autonomy in Mexico, the experiences of the Purépecha community of Cherán, and the Mapuche struggle in Wallmapu/Chile, three distinct models where organizational processes themselves forge new collective subjectivities meant to confront neoliberal capitalist dispossession.La fase contemporánea del capitalismo ha generado una intensificación del proceso de “acumulación por desposesión,” lo cual implica crecientes conflictos entre el despojo territorial y las resistencias indígenas. Éstas se manifiestan en formas diversas de proyectos de autonomía. Analizamos el origen de las variantes del concepto de autonomía, enfocando en sus correspondientes dilemas y sus opciones estratégicas en diversos contextos históricos. Finalmente, consideramos las experiencias de la autonomía zapatista, la comunidad purépecha de Cherán, y la lucha mapuche en Wallmapu/Chile, tres modelos distintos en donde el propio proceso organizativo forja nuevas subjetividades colectivas para enfrentar el despojo del capitalismo neoliberal.

Although trawling stopped definitively in 2019 in Costa Rica, there is an ongoing debate regarding the broader policies derived from the Blue Economy. These have focused on the productive conversion of the fleet (salaried fishers) toward more profitable activities related to tuna fishing, aquaculture, and tourism. This paper takes a political economy approach to oceans and livelihoods, analyzing how the Blue Economy agenda has been implemented in Costa Rica, and what effects this is having on semi-industrial and artisanal fisherpeople in Puntarenas communities. We seek to contribute to critical studies of marine-coastal development and its social consequences in relation to environmental (in)justices in Central America, an underexplored topic in the region.A pesar de que la pesquería de arrastre tuvo su cierre definitivo en el 2019 en Costa Rica, el debate sigue presente y relacionado con las políticas más amplias derivadas de la economía azul. Éstas se han venido centrando en la reconversión productiva de la flota -los pescadores asalariados - hacia actividades más rentables, relacionadas con la pesca de atún, la acuicultura y el turismo. Este artículo a través de los enfoques de economía política de los océanos y medios de vida, analiza cómo la agenda de economía azul se materializa en Costa Rica a través de estas políticas, y qué efectos está teniendo en los pescadores semi-industriales y artesanales de comunidades de Puntarenas. Con ello, se busca contribuir a los estudios críticos de desarrollo marino-costero y a las consecuencias sociales en términos de (in)justicias ambientales en Centroamérica, un ámbito poco explorado en la región.

For several decades, proponents of aquaculture have framed the industry as a critical element of the emerging blue economy. In Aysén, Chile, however, environmental crises have undermined the industry’s claims to sustainability. Invoking “continuous improvement,” aquaculture operators manage ecological, economic, and political risks. This requires shared understandings of risk and uncertainty in which some sources of harm can be mitigated while others are unpredictable consequences of environmental variability. Uncertainty therefore becomes a corporate social technology for blunting criticism of the industry. However, uncertainty also shapes how those overseeing the industry perceive their role within Chile’s development project.
