World-making technology entangled with coloniality, race and gender
Impelled by the intertwined expansion of capitalist institutions and fossil-fueled industry, human activity has made devastating impacts on ecosystems and earth systems. The colonial, class, racial, and gender systems that coevolved with these historical processes have long been critiqued for engineering exploitation and inequality. Yet the technologies with which these systems interact are widely portrayed as neutral and nonpartisan. This paper …
Why are feminist perspectives, analyses, and actions vital to degrowth
Feminist analyses of the historical dynamics of gender systems are fundamental to the work of challenging growth-driven political economies, and of designing more equitable and balanced ecosocial systems.Feminist theories and methods that acknowledge and support diverse voices, knowledges, and practices are vital resources for building on heterodox degrowth movements.In dialogue with postcolonial, decolonial, indigenous, and anti-racist efforts, …

Decolonizing technology and political ecology futures
Place, Power, Difference
Political Ecology Across Spaces, Scales, and Social Groups
Environmental issues have become increasingly prominent in local struggles, national debates, and international policies. In response, scholars are paying more attention to conventional politics and to more broadly defined relations of power and difference in the interactions between human groups and their biophysical environments. Such issues are at the heart of the relatively new interdisciplinary field of political ecology, forged at the inter…

un processus en mutation
Conserver la nature humaine et non humaine
Cet article défend un concept de ' conservation conviviale ', conçu ici comme ' un effort visant à établir des interdépendances vitales entre les humains et les écosystèmes, en vue de leur régénération mutuelle '. En nous appuyant sur des recherches ethnographiques que nous avons menées auprès de communautés subalternes d'Amérique latine, autochtones ou non, nous nous concentrons sur les communautés rurales brésiliennes de squatters apparues dans…
Research On Degrowth
Scholars and activists mobilize increasingly the term degrowth when producing knowledge critical of the ideology and costs of growth-based development. Degrowth signals a radical political and economic reorganization leading to reduced resource and energy use. The degrowth hypothesis posits that such a trajectory of social transformation is necessary, desirable, and possible; the conditions of its realization require additional study. Research on…
Degrowth
Harmful environmental consequences of growth have been rigorously documented and widely publicized throughout the past half-century. Yet, the quantity of matter and energy used by human economies continues to increase by the minute, while governments and businesses continue to promise and to prioritize further economic growth. Such a paradox raises questions about how we humans change course. This introduction to a Special Section offers a new th…

Nerica Upland Rice
Recognizing that the adoption of new agricultural technology has different effects on different types of households and social actors, this study examines how female-headed households growing New Rice for Africa (NERICA) upland rice in Hoima District, Uganda, compare with male-headed NERICA grower households with respect to the production, productivity, and marketing of the crop. We show that NERICA has become an important cash income earner for …

New seeds, gender norms and labor dynamics in Hoima District, Uganda
NERICA, a new group of high-yielding and stress-tolerant upland rice varieties developed by the Africa Rice Center, is changing production strategies of many Ugandan households. This article contributes a better understanding of processes leading to NERICA-related household outcomes in Hoima District, Uganda, by examining patterns of intrahousehold production relations and their consequences for household members' individual wellbeing. Research p…
The Use of Ethnography and Narrative Interviews in a Study of 'Cultures of Dance
In this study I used both ethnography and narrative interviews rather than narrative interviews alone to explore 'cultures of dance'. Ethnography provides greater ecological validity because the researcher has the opportunity to participate in the various cultures from which interviewees are recruited. The processes of social transformation can be observed and documented, and how the culture becomes embodied in individual participants in material…

Beauty is more than skin deep.” An ethnographic study of beauty therapists and older women
Older Women and Everyday Talk about the Ageing Body
This discourse analytic study shows how 10 older women, who exercise regularly or attend the University of the Third Age, adjust to the ageing body in their `everyday talk' through taking a dualist position. The part of the body which is discursively constructed as ageing becomes objectified through appealing to a wider cultural discourse of ageing as biological decline. This dualist position is embedded within a wider cultural discourse of perso…
"Feeding the Nation" and "Protecting the Watershed"
Tensions between efforts to preserve threatened ecosystems and efforts to improve the life conditions of people who inhabit such areas are of increasing concern in environmental science, policy, and practice. In our research with farmers in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, we have identified a range of forces, factors, and ideas that influence how farmers develop production strategies and make choices about resource use that have consequences for l…

Body, nation, and consubstantiation in Bolivian ritual meals
During a remarkable period of official ethnic recognition and indigenous political mobilization in Bolivia, farmers in the rural Municipality of Mizque have invested increasing energy in ritual meals widely characterized as indigenous, expanding the number of meals celebrated and increasing their spatial distribution. Multisited ethnographic study of how people connect to body, place, and identity shows that the intense corporal experiences and t…
Gendered Practices and Landscapes in the Andes
this article describes practices and relations of farming, herding, and cooking that produce and reproduce people and places in culture-specific ways in one region of the central Andes. It also explores how these practices have been changing in relation to regional and global processes surrounding agricultural modernization. the study begins with a look at the degradation of steep slopes and the reduced productivity and social value of women who …

Political Economies of Identity in Bolivia 1952-1998
Gender and Ethnicity in Bolivian Politics
Political Economies of Identity in Bolivia 1952‐1998
In 1985 Bolivia launched itself into the global age with a neoliberal economic program, while at the same time maintaining the cultural assimilationist stance inherited from preceding models of state capitalism. The second generation of neoliberal reforms, implemented between 1993 and 1997, introduced a dramatically new multicultural, pluriethnic and gendersensitive approach to identity politics. This introductory essay traces Bolivia's remarkabl…
Gender and Ethnicity in Bolivian Politics
Throughout Latin America public discourse and political programs dealing with gender and ethnicity have focused mainly on women and indigenous people, often in paternalistic efforts to help these "marginal groups." Bolivian constitutional reforms implemented between 1993 and 1997 challenge this traditional stance by promoting balanced participation in a nation constituted by multiple identities, yet ongoing processes triggered by these reforms te…

Placing Gender and Ethnicity on the Bodies of Indigenous Women and in the Work of Bolivian Intellectuals
Policies and programs established in Bolivia in the 1990s expressed a new vision of political agency and citizenship: a multicultural, pluri-ethnic, and gender-sensitive vision that broke the longstanding assimilationist paradigm and promised greater respect for diverse identities and lifeways. This paper explores practices and discourses of dissimilar social groups, and asks how their dynamic coexistence has contributed to unique expressions of …
Engaging Ethnicity and Gender in Bolivia
As anthropologists living and working in Bolivia, we came to understand ethnicity and gender as interlocking cultural systems that organize and give meaning to countless aspects of our worlds: not only individual identities, but also political, legal and economic interactions and environments. Throughout the 1990s, gender and ethnicity were hot topics in Bolivia, and we both encountered a great deal of tension surrounding the application of these…

Locating the Political in Political Ecology
Recent debates within political ecology have motivated new field. In the introduction to this special issue, we vital challenges faced today, and present a new set of studies that respond to these concerns. We conceptualize power as a social relation built on the asymmetrical distribution of resources and risks and locate power in the interactions among, and the processes that constitute, people, places, and resources. Politics, then, are found i…
Culturally constructed relationships shape sexual and reproductive health in Bolivia
This paper reports on findings from five studies on the ways in which culturally specific identities and relationships shape women's and men's attitudes towards, and experiences of, sexual and reproductive health and health care in Bolivia. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to examine knowledge, power and decision‐making in sexual relationships, and between health care providers and clients. Findings indicate that men and women hold …
