Transformations to sustainability
The article addresses the transformation as a shift in theoretical, methodological, and analytical aspects of sustainability research. • The article places power at the center of analyses of transformation processes, practices, and pathways in the real world. • The conceptualization of transformation as a moving target highlights the need for deeper contextualization of its temporality and scale. • The article showcases multiple empirical cases o…
Beyond “green markets” and local romanticisms for a locally grounded bioeconomy in Amazonia
The lifeways of small-scale gold miners
Small-scale gold mining sustains millions of people's lives and yet it stimulates environmental harms and social conflicts. Global environmental crises drive calls for fundamental change to how people live on the planet. For small-scale gold mining, this raises questions about whether current dynamics can provide a basis for sustainability transformations. Proposing the notion of gold lifeways to focus on the lived experience of mining and gold r…
Insurgent infrastructures
Critical analyses of infrastructural violence have mostly approached infrastructure as a top-down imposition that allows markets and state governments to expand and inflicts suffering on local populations. Here we take as our analytical starting point a different kind of infrastructural harm, namely the one that comes not from building the local environment, but from leaving it unbuilt. From this vantage point, we are foremost interested in local…
Recruitment and disengagement
We investigate the disengagement of four former activists of the Landless Rural Workers Movement ( Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra —MST) in Brazil. The MST is the largest Brazilian social movement and has mobilized activists for over 30 years. The trajectories of recruitment, participation and disengagement of its activists serve as emblematic cases for the study of disengagement in social movements in general. This research contribu…
Transforming matters
A reply to Luis Angosto‐Ferrández
Amalgamation
Popular and scholarly accounts often describe small-scale gold mining as a conflict-ridden economy that takes place in regions where state law is lacking. Our long-term ethnographic research in Colombia and Suriname has shown that stakeholder agendas in the goldfields, although often at variance, also come together in unexpected compromises and entanglements. We therefore propose to think of small-scale gold mining as an activity of not only conf…
Small-scale gold mining and the Covid-19 pandemic
Hunger in the land of plenty
Oil-rich Venezuela is being hit by the largest crisis in living memory. Now, more than 4.8 million Venezuelans have fled the country in search of food and safety. News about migration and humanitarian aid dominate. Yet, many Venezuelans stay and seek alternative strategies to cope with scarcity and insecurity. Ad hoc solutions mainly depend on alternative economies in the borderlands that do not always fit within frameworks of human rights and ru…

Este artigo aborda o papel da mineração de ouro em pequena escala na urbanização da Amazônia brasileira, enfocando os processos locais em dois assentamentos de mineração na Província Aurífera Tapajós. Nossa análise revela três tendências na mudança de mobilidade para permanência. Em primeiro lugar, evidencia-se que, ao longo dos anos, os assentamentos de mineração irregulares cresceram em aldeias formalizadas. Mobilidade e permanências temporais,…

Ouro e Deus
Religião e ouro articulam-se de forma significativa nas narrativas fundadoras da comunidade brasileira de garimpeiros de Benzdorp, no interior do Suriname. Numa área de exploração de ouro em pequena escala, perto do Rio Lawa, um bordel (cabaré) marcou a primeira ocupação da área. Alguns anos depois, esse mesmo bordel virou uma igreja e esse fato inusitado acrescenta mais um elemento da economia moral da cultura do garimpo: a prostituição. Este te…
Localizing and Globalizing Processes in Brazilian Catholicism
The authors discuss the various ways in which liberationist Catholicism and the Catholic charismatic movement in Brazil take positions in the overall globalizing and homogenizing cultural forces in universal Catholicism and wider society. They argue that in their discourses and practices, these two contemporary Catholic movements refer to notions of both local and global and identify with specifi c parts of global Catholicism by confronting proce…

Religião e transformações urbanas em Recife, Brasil
A paisagem urbana foi palco de muitas transformações religiosas importantes nas últimas décadas. Urbanização e diversificação religiosa aconteceram juntas, e os pesquisadores de religião apontaram a migração de milhares de pessoas para as cidades como a causa para o crescimento de novos grupos religiosos e identidades religiosas no ambiente urbano, para a emancipação das religiões tradicionais, e para o pluralismo no campo religioso como um todo.…
Local protest and transnational Catholicism in Brazil
Based on research in Brazil, the author discusses three local situations of conflict and social protest, using a transnational perspective. She concentrates on the use of universal claims of Catholicism in local negotiations of religious change under the influence of different cultural campaigns. The clashes in question are divided into those involving local political problems and those concerning the religious domain itself. The analysis shows t…
