Vivir con la palma
La etnografía ofrece la posibilidad de una intervención crítica y potencialmente transformadora de las políticas del conocimiento en la geografía de los recursos. Este artículo sugiere un marco metodológico y analítico para una etnografía de los recursos en contextos extractivos que atienda a sus políticas espaciales. Desarrolla el concepto de sensibilidad etnográfica y argumenta que esta constituye un modo de compromiso con la gente, el lugar y …
Geografías negras del arroz en el Caribe colombiano
Rice has shaped Afro-diasporic cultures, identities and geographies in the Americas. In the Colombian Caribbean, throughout the 20th century, agrarian modernization re-configured black geographies of rice by transforming cultivated landscapes and disavowing black people ́s agricultural knowledges and practices. This article analyzes tongueo, a form of rice harvesting that became widespread during the 1970s and 1980s in the municipality of Mariala…
"The rhythms of "acostumbrarse
In Colombia's Caribbean region, where Black Diaspora agrarian spaces have been overtaken by oil palm plantations, access to safe drinking water has become increasingly difficult. Leticia is a water spring located in this historical afro descendant territory. Leticia's near exhaustion in 2015 as a consequence of oil palm encroachment caused little public outrage even though nearby communities have depended on its waters for decades. Some residents…
Mapping violent land orders
In Colombia, armed conflict intersected with land politics in complex ways. Throughout conjunctures of guerrilla and paramilitary domination, the moral economies that sustained hierarchical land orders became a terrain of tensions and negotiations. Through an ethnographic approach to participatory mapping in the agrarian region of Montes de María in Colombia's Caribbean, this article analyzes the links between armed conflict, shifting land orders…
Ordinary Geographies
In Colombia’s agrarian spaces, war and extractivism are deeply entangled. Almost four years after the peace accords signed between the national government and the FARC guerrilla, post‐conflict geographies are best characterised by the ongoing dispossession of local populations related to the entrenchment of extractivism. Drawing from ethnographic work carried out in the Colombian Caribbean on the ordinary practices and spaces of social reproducti…
The “ruinous failure” of agrarian reform in key of blackness
La implementación de la reforma agraria en Marialabaja, Bolívar en los años 1960s marcó una coyuntura de complejas negociaciones en torno a la legitimidad del proyecto estatal reformista en un territorio histórico afro-campesino. El Proyecto Bolívar #1 del Instituto Colombiano de Reforma Agraria (INCORA), marcado por esquemas y lógicas de modernización agrícola y reconocimiento campesino que desconocían la negridad de los habitantes locales, se v…
