Dividing a City
Miami is not a newcomer to the history of gentrification that has reshaped the urban fabric in cities all over the world. Yet a new mega project to be implemented in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood represents a strategic capitalist modification of the city's previous processes of class-based and racialized socio-territorial dispossession and displacement. As we argue in this paper, Little Haiti's Magic City Innovation District stands emblematic…
Greta's Wrath; or 'quédate en casa', Agamben
This essay examines the usefulness (or not) of Agamben's notion of the state of exception as a framework for understanding the drastic changes to social life brought on by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It also considers a number of alternative interpretations - of metaphysical or divine inspiration. COVID-19 has brought on much confusion, and this essay might or might not contribute to dissipating some of it. As always, it's best to wash our …
Colombia's Other Dangerous Crop
An idiosyncratic, literary-minded anthropologist returns to Colombia to observe the effects of the palm oil boom on a rural village under the shadow of paramilitary violence
Local Aquatic Epistemologies among Black Communities on Colombia’s Pacific Coast and the Pluriverse
Voces desde la marginalidad acuática
The banality of displacement
Global assemblages, resilience, and Earth Stewardship in the Anthropocene
In this paper, we argue that the Anthropocene is an epoch characterized not only by the anthropogenic dominance of the Earth's ecosystems but also by new forms of environmental governance and institutions. Echoing the literature in political ecology, we call these new forms of environmental governance “global assemblages”. Socioecological changes associated with global assemblages disproportionately impact poorer nations and communities along the…

Another History of Violence
A conceptual framework of "geographies of terror" can serve as a critique of contemporary dominant geopolitical discourses on the "war on terror" and as a methodological tool for studying the impact of terror and its spatial manifestations on local populations on the ground. Applying this framework to the study of violence in Colombia's Pacific coast region allows critical engagement with the discourses on "forced displacement" that have become i…
Turf Wars
Revisiting the Hidden Transcript
The role of oral traditions in the reconstruction and the politicisation of collective memory has widely been recognised in post-colonial theories. Yet, the concrete application of these oral traditions by subaltern groups in projects of cultural politics has often been an ambiguous and discontinuous process. Moreover, poststructural interventions on cultural politics in social movement research, while theorising culture as a collective and dynam…
Violence, fear, and development in Latin America
This introduction presents the core concepts that shape this special issue on the impact of violence and the processes of development in Central and South America. The understanding of development is considered in terms broader than the economic context alone, in order to assess wider social and political aspects. With a similarly expansive scope, forms of violence are addressed that range from direct physical harm and bodily attack to the often …
Violence in development
A progressive piece of legislation in 1993 granted collective land rights to Colombia's black communities living in the rural areas of the Pacific coast region. This measure aimed partly to support sustainable development strategies in the region through territorial empowering of local communities. Yet 14 years later, the escalation of the country's internal conflict into the Pacific region has created unprecedented levels of forced displacement …
Geopolítica, guerras y resistencia
Einfach sprachlos but not simply speechless
Based on the authors’ experiences as German‐language speakers working at different stages of their careers within Anglo‐American human geography, this article reflects on the workings of (foreign) language, not only through academic publications but more widely in research contexts and everyday work. This is done by three personal observations, highlighting the relevance of (foreign) language interactions in terms of research practice as well as …

The Politics of Ethnicity
Reseña escrita por Ulrich Oslender
Discursos ocultos de resistencia
El texto presenta una muestra de la literatura oral de poblaciones afrocolombianas, incluyendo coplas y versos inéditos recogidos por el autor en Guapi, en la costa caucana del Pacífico. Se resalta la importancia de los ancianos, sabios y decimeros en los procesos actuales de re-construcción de memoria colectiva en el Pacífico, y cómo sus narrativas revelan un sentido de lugar que habla de patrones históricos de asentamiento, migraciones y viajes…
