Security meanings and land defense in the context of the Interoceanic Corridor infrastructure (Ciit) megaproject
This article explores the meanings of security within the context of the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) project in southern Mexico, a proposed multimodal transport corridor connecting the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Touted as a viable alternative to the Panama Canal, the CIIT aims to expedite global goods circulation while simultaneously boosting the local economy. However, as with many large-scale infrastruct…
Interest, politics and drift in policy implementation
This article scrutinizes the anti-trafficking efforts that the PT Government in Brazil undertook to implement the National Anti-Trafficking Policy in collaboration with different civil society organizations. Focusing on crime prevention measures, the article analyses the perceptions and understandings of trafficking, and the values and norms implicit in those, as well as the relationships developed between pubic officials and members of the civil…

Gender and natural resource extraction in Latin America
This article resituates the debate on approaches to gender in contexts of natural rThis article resituates the debate on approaches to gender in contexts of natural resource extraction in Latin America and, subsequently, outlines an intersectional, feminist proposal focused on geopolitical positionality, which points to the complex and global power relations that (re)position individuals and collectivities residing in spaces that have geopolitica…
Putting Large-Scale Infrastructure Projects First
This article argues that whilst indigenous people are central to the Mexican president's official developmentalist discourse of bringing prosperity to the country's marginalised and poor, their needs during the COVID-19 pandemic have not been met and their interests have been sidelined. Whilst experiencing serious loss of trading revenue, negative impacts of misinformation, and lack of access to appropriate healthcare, indigenous Mexicans also fa…

Vida fragmentada
La concatenación de breves fragmentos autobiográficos proporciona una imagen vívida de la experiencia de la vida académica precaria contemporánea que transcurre entre continentes. Si bien la trayectoria sin pausa de la autora le permite aprender, investigar, escribir, publicar, dar charlas y relacionarse con colegas de diferentes partes del mundo, esta también experimenta la angustia que entraña la precariedad, la inseguridad financiera y la impo…
Tracing Contradictions of Neoliberal Governmentality in Tijuana’s Sex Industry
My main concern in this article is to illustrate contradictions that neoliberal governmentality produces in the context of sex work in Tijuana. Neoliberal governmentality is a practice of ruling people that interweaves aspirations of individuals with the demands of the market. By theorising governmentality in the context of sex work in Tijuana, it is my intention to move beyond the limited discussion of voluntary versus forced prostitution, in or…
Borderline Slavery
Trabalhar Em Espaços Inseguros
O artigo enfatiza uma perspectiva da fronteira México-EUA como um local de atração e um recurso para mulheres de vários estados da República Mexicana. Trabalho extenuante e salários baixos pagos nas empresas transnacionais na fronteira tornam o trabalho sexual uma opção de trabalho preferível para algumas mulheres. O artigo destaca como a fronteira continua a ser uma barreira exclusiva para muitos cidadãos, apesar da prevalência simultânea de din…

Corporeal Entrepreneurialism and Neoliberal Agency in the Sex Trade at the US-Mexican Border
In this essay I will discuss corporeal entrepreneurialism in the context of commercial sex and neoliberal agency at the United States-Mexico border. I want to situate the sex trade in a larger neoliberal context of economic need, mobility and commercialization. The essay addresses how bodily entrepreneurialism can function as a gateway to upward social mobility and how erotic capital can level existing social and economic inequalities and thus ac…
