Beyond materialist green transitions: Sketching a vitalist approach for evaluating R&I policy towards deep green transformation
Situated within the growing literature on green alternatives to research and innovation-led green transition approaches, this paper sketches the contours of an emerging transition policy evaluation matrix aiming at going beyond contemporary (new) materialist concerns. To do so, I introduce a vitalist focus on life and establishing all connectedness as a long-term normative goal of just and deep global development policy. For this purpose, I draw …
Alternautas in The Changing Landscape of Latin America’s and Global Development Imaginaries

Opening our first issue as an OJS journal is a significant milestone and in this editorial introduction we would like to share with you, our dear readers, some insights about our journey so far. Alternautas collective editorial project has been one of the pioneers in the creation of decentralized and collaborative medi…
Remaking the Sustainable Development Goals: Relational Indigenous epistemologies
While the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were inclusive in their design, the reliance on official measurement infrastructures has upheld narrow definitions of both the terms of sustainability and development. Indigenous and non-Indigenous “governance beyond the state” approaches call these definitions into question. They highlight that disaggregated official data are unable to fully reflect alternative grounds and aspirations of living sust…
Expanding the transdisciplinary conversation towards pluriversal distributive disaster recovery: Development ethics and interculturality
Purpose From a Latin American decolonial and transdisciplinary perspective, this article expands the increasingly relevant conversation about disaster ethics, not only in depth and scope but also both interdisciplinarily and interculturally. By reviewing key points of development ethics that are closely related but underexplored, it makes the case for focusing on disaster recovery as a relevant distributive phase for improving future prevention a…
(In)Visibilization through decolonial delinking? Disrupting the permanently neglected disaster at the border of Colombia and Ecuador
Purpose The geopolitical relevance of the region with regard to clandestine and market interests exerting ecological pressures over mangroves and artisanal fishing thus raises awareness with regard to the local disaster's potentially global dimension. Delinking thus suggests divergent visibilization strategies regarding the narratives and framings of the region. Design/methodology/approach Reflecting on previous ethnographic and quantitative rese…
Pueblos Indígenas y Cambio Climático
Sin lugar a duda vivimos en tiempos de múltiples crisis ecológicas, políticas, económicas y hasta civilizatorias (Lander y Rodríguez 2019; Leff 2004), así lo hemos destacado también en otras ediciones de nuestra revista Letras Verdes. En tiempos del capitalismo liberal tardío (Povinelli 2016), el concepto del antropoceno (Ribot 2014; Svampa 2019) nos permite comprender el marco antropogénico que permea e impacta la vida biológica y geológica en n…
Presentación del dossier. Comunidad, vulnerabilidad y reproducción en condiciones de desastre. Abordajes desde América Latina y el Caribe
El presente artículo introductorio propone un acercamiento al enfoque de la vulnerabilidad en los estudios sociales sobre desastres desde distintos abordajes contemporáneos latinoamericanos. En primer lugar, se expone sobre la vulnerabilidad desde sus primeras aproximaciones y se las pone en diálogo crítico con el enfoque de la resiliencia. La preocupación surge cuando se enfatiza la resiliencia de la población afectada como mecanismo de particip…
Operationalizing Sustainable Development Goals in Vulnerable Coastal Areas of Ecuador and Pakistan: Marginalizing Human Development
Drawing on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in socially and ecologically vulnerable coastal areas of Ecuador and Pakistan, we focus on Chinese-funded investment projects to analyze how SDGs are susceptible to be instrumentalized in the context of exploitative economic dependencies, as well as national development agendas. In our case studies, forced displacement of vulnerable inhabitants during the post-earthquake recovery in coastal Ecuador an…
Human Rights Trade-Offs in Times of Economic Growth. The Long-Term Capability Impacts of Extractive-Led Development
Drawing on a detailed, rich and insightful case study, this book deals with the case of the smelting town of La Oroya in Peru. The cases of socio-environmental and legal conflict in this town peake
Agriculture, knowledge and the ‘colonial matrix of power’: Approaching sustainabilities from the Global South
The proposed list of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sets out to reframe development according to a more holistic perspective. Yet, drawing on the example of the need for sustainable, resilient and biodiverse agriculture, it is argued here that the SDGs remain essentially grounded within one cultural understanding of how to address poverty. At least with regard to agriculture, the SDGs thus remain mono-cultural, one-dimensional, overly…
Living Well Rather Than Living Better: Measuring Biocentric Human-Nature Rights and Human–Nature Development in Ecuador
Drawing on the first attempt worldwide to implement human rights indicators at the national level in Ecuador (2009–2014), as well as on a critical review of the uneasy relationship between human rights and human development discourses, this article calls into question the prefix “human” in contemporary human development and human rights thinking. By alternating case study and reflection, it argues that a systemic and biocentric focus on human–nat…
