Introducción¿Cómo pensar las transformaciones económicas contemporáneas en un momento marcado, simultáneamente, por la acelerada globalización y la destrucción del medio ambiente?¿Cómo analizar formas de extracción, acumulación y circulación que operan no solo sobre el trabajo humano, sino también sobre procesos biológicos y geológicos, especialmente en un contexto de colapso ecológico y transición energética?Y, frente a estas dinámicas, ¿hasta q…
Are energy transitions suffering from archive fever
Environmental archives in Colombia are sites of both aspiration and uncertainty when it comes to accountability in environmental matters. While they hold the promise of transparency, they are also spaces where information overload fuels constant rumor, speculation, and doubt. This paradox reflects the ways in which extractive industries shape the very data infrastructure that governs licensing and enables capital-driven operations. As a result, e…
The Terminator in the goldfields
This article analyses the relationships among speculative rumour, everyday storytelling, and financial speculation that impact small-scale gold mining towns in Colombia. By following the stories surrounding the visit of Arnold Schwarzenegger to Marmato, a mining town in central Colombia, and its consequences, I explore how people speculate about such 'speculative' visits so as to reframe the events as part of wider colonial histories. I aim to co…
What’s up with methodology? Faults, experimentations, and affective displacements in the reinventions of the common
In this article, we discuss and elaborate on some of the results obtained in the collective project ‘Social Movements and Construction of the Common in Colombia Today’, particularly their methodological dimension. First of all we argue that the common is always an unfinished process that takes place in the work with and at the borders/boundaries that delimit and cut across cultural, economic, and social worlds and their conflictive interactions. …
Desdits « gouvernements progressistes », « chaînes productives », humiliation et monde souterrain dans la Colombie extractive
La Colombie est un point nodal du super-cycle minier en Amérique Latine. La collusion entre l'État et les sociétés minières a privilégié un modèle d'exploitation de grande envergure cohérent avec trois décennies de consolidation de l'ordre socioculturel néolibéral. Un secteur minier fort a du sens pour un projet qui cherche à générer des revenus indispensables au financement des accords de paix avec les guérillas de gauche et des mesures sanitair…
Temporal enclosures and the social production of inescapable futures for coal mining in Colombia
The creation of spatial enclosures is a well-developed subject in the study of extractive industries. Less attention has been given to the control of time and the future within these socio-spatial contexts. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, we followed two controversial projects aimed at expanding the biggest open-pit coal mine in Colombia, both of which implied diverting watercourses to extract coal from beneath their riverbed. We describe corpor…
Anticipating futures through enactments of expertise
Mining Leftovers
The Colombian government and large-scale mining companies accuse small-scale gold miners of lacking a sense of the future, thereby harming the future of Colombia. In this article, I argue that marginalized people who extract gold with small-scale techniques create an alternative sense of future by engaging with the leftovers of their gold mining practices. This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork with people who struggle to make a living i…
Assessing urban water security under changing climate
Sites, funds and spheres of exchange in a Clean Development Mechanism project
This article analyses the implementation and operation of a wind farm in ancestral indigenous lands in Colombia. A wind farm operates at different levels: creating energy, social programmes, jobs, carbon credits and revenues. However, such emerging objects are distributed unevenly. To understand the hierarchy in place in the carbon market, this article explains the disconnection between clean energy production sites and carbon funds in which cred…
Gubernamentalidades futuristas
Este artículo analiza la obsesión con las tecnologías de la información y otras formas de mediación técnica en la asistencia social en Colombia en los últimos 10 años, tres programas sociales distintos (en La Guajira y Bogotá).Su conclusión principal es que la relación entre tecnología y asistencia tiene dos tipos de efectos complementarios: por un lado crea una política social incorporada en mediadores materiales que modifican la relación burocr…

Gender' and the Concerns of Carnal Self-Consumption
This article analyses the co-occurrence of two concerns often expressed by indigenous leaders involved with reparations for victims of paramilitaries in Colombia. These concerns revolve around discomfort with the intense use of hegemonic 'gender' discourses in the context of the reparations, and a feeling that leaders' involvement in the latter brings about a betrayal of the family and of themselves. By engaging with the local category of eirruku…
Deuda, desesperación y reparaciones inconclusas en la Guajira, Colombia
While memory has been a privileged topic of analysis to understand (post) conflict situations, other ways to regulate the temporality of the victims have received less attention. The metaphors on reparation as a “debt to the victims” are deeply rooted in the language of transitional justice. In this article, based on ethnographic work with indigenous Wayuu communities, the language of debt is analyzed as part of the legitimatizing function of tru…
Reparaciones indígenas y el giro del "giro multicultural" en La Guajira, Colombia
Aunque la victimización de los pueblos indígenas en Colombia ha durado siglos, nunca antes las condiciones de víctimas y vulnerables habían tenido tanta importancia institucional como en los últimos diez años. Este artículo analiza de qué manera los discursos de la victimización y la vulnerabilidad han afectado las formas de concebir la ciudadanía y la subjetividad étnica. Aunque el multiculturalismo sigue jugando un papel fundamental, la autodet…
Post-Multicultural Anxieties? Reparations and the Trajectories of Indigenous Citizenship inLaGuajira,Colombia
La participación del estado en la simultánea marginalización, atención y cuidado de las poblaciones étnicas invita a re-examinar las condiciones, formas e implicaciones de las ciudadanías indígenas contemporáneas, caracterizadas por Postero (2007), para el caso de Bolivia, como "post-multiculturales." Este artículo se centra en cómo la reciente reparación de "víctimas indígenas," resultado principalmente de violencia paramilitar en el norte de Co…
