  • Conservación neoliberal de la naturaleza en la Patagonia chilena

    Open AccessEsteban Ortiz Robles, Robinson Torres Salinas et al.ARTICLERevista de Estudios Sociales2025

    Chilean Patagonia, a historically remote region known for its vast natural landscapes of global ecological importance, has a rich environmental history of resistance, epitomized by the monumental Patagonia Without Dams movement, which fiercely opposed transnational hydroelectric projects. While traditional extractivism continues to face strong opposition, capital has shifted towards “green” adaptations, manifesting as eco-extractive practices tha…

  • Water commons as a socioenvironmental project for the 21st century in Chile

    Open AccessRobinson Torres Salinas, Amaya Álvez MarínARTICLEWater Policy2023

    We describe how the water commons agenda has been mobilized by different social groups of Chilean society, including water social movements and indigenous people, and the way it was included in the constitutional debate (2021–2022). Although the draft for the new Constitution was rejected in September 2022, we argue that the water commons agenda is still being mobilized as a socioenvironmental project for the 21st century. Simply put, the water c…

  • La eco-colonialidad del extractivismo del litio y la agonía socioambiental del Salar de Atacama

    Open AccessBárbara Jerez Henríquez, Paola Bolados et al.ARTICLERevista Austral de Ciencias…2023

    Este artículo analiza los impactos socioambientales, hídricos y culturales de la creciente extracción de litio en la cuenca del Salar de Atacama en Chile, desde las contribuciones del programa modernidad/colonialidad y las discusiones decoloniales de la Ecología Política. El litio en tanto mineral estratégico para las políticas de transiciones verde globales representa una eco-colonialidad gatillada por los metabolismos de la electromovilidad que…

  • Struggles for the defence of territories and decolonial politics in Southern Chile

    Katia Valenzuela-Fuentes, Robinson Torres Salinas et al.ARTICLEGlobalizations2023Cited by: 2References: 3

    This article explores the emergence of decolonial political subjectivities in the struggle for the defence of territories and against extractivism in Greater Concepción, Chile. Drawing on a dialogue between decolonial and feminist scholarship, Latin American political ecology, and the praxis of Chilean socioenvironmental movements, we argue that the struggles for the defence of territories in Abya Yala cannot be understood through the lens of mod…

  • Privatizando el agua, produciendo sujetos hídricos

    Open AccessRobinson Torres Salinas, Alfredo García-Carmona et al.ARTICLEAgua y Territorio / Water and…2017

    Revisamos las respuestas sociales a la privatización del agua en Chile. A través del análisis de dos estudios de caso —HidroAysén y Pascua Lama—abordamos el problema de cómo estos mega-proyectos han generado las condiciones socio-políticas para el surgimiento de nuevos sujetos hídricos que, en el proceso de su constitución como sujetos, han ido configurando los contornos de un movimiento social por el agua de escala nacional. Abordamos el surgimi…

  • Forestry development, water scarcity, and the Mapuche protest for environmental justice in Chile

    Open AccessRobinson Torres Salinas, Robinson Torres-Salinas et al.ARTICLEAmbiente & sociedade2016Cited by: 10References: 17

    From a theoretical approach based on political ecology and environmental justice, we assess how forestry development has generated socio-spatial dynamics of environmental degradation and water scarcity in southern Chile. Through historical-geographical and ethnographic methods, we discuss how and why the spread of forestry plantations has significantly influenced social and environmental degradation of the Mapuche's modes of living. In response, …
