The hidden speciesism of neutrality
Beyond state space
Energy infrastructures are the talk of the hour. Enormous investments are mobilized globally to overhaul national energy systems, link different grids, and make electricity provision ‘future proof’. Analyses, however, have frequently limited themselves to binary perspectives between national energy spaces and private or foreign provision, energy independence and dependence. Contributing to literature on energy spatialities, infrastructure violenc…
Aprender con las luchas
To introduce the interview, Dr. Inés Durán comments: Jorge Alonso or 'Doc Alonso' - as he is known by colleagues and friends - is a man of serious countenance, firm bearing and penetrating gaze who keeps a big heart. Since his beginnings, walking with the Jesuits, he has dedicated his life not only to reflection, but also to accompanying those at the bottom. In the seventies, he began to investigate the situation of the garbage pickers in Monterr…
The machinery of #techno-colonialism crafting “democracy.” A glimpse into digital sub-netizenship in Mexico
This article elaborates the concepts of techno-colonialism and sub-netizenship to explore the renewal of colonial processes through the digitalization of "democracy." Techno-colonialism is conceived as a frame – adopted consciously and unconsciously – that shapes capitalist social relations and people's political participation. Today, this frame appeals to the idealized netizen, a global, free, equal and networked subject that gains full membersh…
Indigeneity as a transnational battlefield
This article argues that indigeneity is a battlefield related to political economy, a transnational political space where multiple subjects contest and negotiate the management of lives and territories. Through the narratives of the Coca indigenous community of Mezcala (Mexico) – caught up in diasporic flows – I illustrate how a transnational community navigates its indigeneity within the workings of neoliberal governance via migration and touris…
Desafío a las territorialidades neoliberales
From a perspective inspired by anthropology, critical geography and feminism, she shows us how capitalism has affected the daily lives of P'urhépecha women in Zirosto and Cherán (Michoacán) by favoring violence and accentuating the precariousness of bodies, lives and land
Solidaridad comunitaria transnacional del Concejo Indígena de Gobierno (CIG) por otra democracia, justicia y libertad
En mayo de 2017 el Congreso Nacional Indígena (CNI) y el Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) crearon el Concejo Indígena de Gobierno (CIG) y nombraron una vocera para contender en las elecciones presidenciales de México en 2018. El propósito no era la toma de poder, sino utilizar el espacio electoral para organizarse desde abajo y construir un nuevo proyecto de gobierno y de sociedad. Dicha propuesta no se dirigió exclusivamente a la…
Indigenous Peoples and the Geographies of Power
Tracing key trends of the global-regional-local interface of power, Inés Durán Matute through the case of the indigenous community of Mezcala (Mexico) demonstrates how global political economic processes shape the lives, spaces, projects and identities of the most remote communities. Throughout the book, in-depth interviews, participant observations and text collection, offer the reader insight into the functioning of neoliberal governance, how i…
Mezcala
This article contributes to the analysis, reflection, and propagation of the experiences of indigenous communities facing neoliberal states. It goes beyond theoretical perspectives, which are linked here to an empirical study based on the adoption and implementation of neoliberal policies by the Mexican state in a specific locality. This reading is based on the author's fieldwork, begun in July 2008, with the indigenous community of Mezcala, Jali…
Los comuneros de Mezcala en confrontación con las redes institucionales de poder
El objetivo de este artículo es reconstruir los hechos que atravesó la comunidad indígena de Mezcala cuando el gobierno mexicano decidió realizar una de tantas celebraciones del bicentenario de la Independencia en su isla. Es a través de las narrativas de los comuneros y jóvenes en solidaridad que se desenmascaran las redes institucionales de poder que permitieron la apropiación material y simbólica de los festejos y se revelan las distintas acci…
