Civil society and the (im)possibilities of algorithmic contestation in migration governance
The present article examines the (im)possibilities of contesting algorithmic systems in migration governance through an empirical study of civil society organizations in Sweden and Norway. It draws on qualitative methods including semi-structured interviews, document analysis and digital ethnography to examine how digital rights associations, migrant solidarity initiatives and hybrid groups focused on democratic digitalization respond to the spre…
Ecological Reparation: Repair, Remediation and Resurgence in Social and Environmental Conflict
How do we engage with the threat of social and environmental degradation while creating and maintaining liveable and just worlds? Researchers from diverse backgrounds unpack this question through a series of original and committed contributions to this wide-ranging volume. The authors explore practices of repairing damaged ecologies across different locations and geographies and offer innovative insights for the conservation, mending, care and em…
Affecting Infrastructures: Crafting and Weaving as Alternative Repairs
As two traditional practices performed by rural communities in Colombia, crafting and weaving can be reframed as ontologies that embody alternative material orders and forms of repair. In this context, we explore two specific initiatives: the Crafted Empathy Chair developed by members of campesino social movements in Cauca and Nariño, and Interweaving Material Encounters, a series of collaborative spaces involving women from textile collectives f…
The official record of victims as a bordering technology: Knowledge and (in)visibilities in post-conflict Colombia
Following the regulations dictated by the Law of Victims in 2012, representatives of the Colombian government have engaged in the task of registering and compensating victims of human rights perpetrations as a result of war violence. These registration procedures, mostly processing the applications of people on the move inside the national territory, are consolidated in the Official Record of Victims (RUV). The RUV enjoys international visibility…
Pinboarding the Pandemic: Experiments in Representing Autoethnography
This visual essay draws on an autoethnographic study to present snapshots of mundane academic practice during the pandemic, using these to reflect on care and care practices within academia. Our approach is inspired by a “pinboard” (Law 2007): we use an echo of the two-dimensional space the pinboard offers to present our material through logics of juxtaposition and resonance, rather than attempting to craft a linear argument
Absent Peace in Colombia: A Study of Transition Discourses in Former Combatants
The Colombian State and subversive groups have made attempts to build peace by the establishment of accords since the 1980s. Recently, the signature of a peace accord by former president Santos and the FARC-EP leadership in 2016, has come along with changes in the interpretative frameworks of the conflict and the emergence of new institutions, forms of subjectivity and collective meanings around peace. Nowadays, Colombia is in the transition from…
Beyond citizenship: The Material Politics of Alternative Infrastructures
This paper argues for a line of inquiry in the intersection between migration studies and STS work around the notion of material politics in alternative spaces. Drawing on multisited ethnographic inputs, I describe arrangements of cooperation coexisting with post-conflict reparation in Colombia and governmental humanitarianism in Greece. I follow material practices transforming objects into arrangements of remembrance and collective support and a…
The psychosocial management of rights restitution: Tracing technologies for reparation in post-conflict Colombia
Psychosocial assistance is a crucial aspect of recent state reparation and human rights restitution policies in post-conflict Colombia. Drawing on the methodological tools offered by Science and Technology Studies (STS), we follow the trajectories of a psychosocial protocol for emotional recovery as a technology of reparation deployed in rural communities between 2013 and 2017. We ethnographically describe how psychological and administrative pro…
What is "(un)making" STS ethnographies? Reflections (not exclusively) from Latin America
In a recent article published in a Colombian Journal, Cristobal Bonelli invites us to “build on the ontological interest of ANT regarding the ‘politics of things’ by developing the politics of ‘whe
Reconocimiento de Víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia: Sobre tecnologías de representación y configuraciones de estado
Este trabajo aborda los procedimientos expertos y administrativos implicados en el Registro Único de Víctimas (RUV) a través del rastreo etnográfico de las prácticas alrededor del Formato Único de Declaración (FUD) que materializan el Reconocimiento de Víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia. En este sentido, el RUV y el FUD se problematizan como tecnologías sociales que reconfiguran al Estado colombiano y se describen algunas de sus trayectori…
