New approaches, old ideas: The subtle revolution of physical geography
Physical geography (PG) is currently experiencing a subtle revolution that reinterprets old ideas in light of new scientific, social, and environmental challenges. This paper addresses the thematic areas of climatology, biogeography, hydrology, geomorphology, and the cross-cutting role of geospatial technologies in disaster risk reduction, and speaks to geographers, environmental scientists, and policy-oriented scholars concerned with the implica…
Control de la naturaleza y Pueblos Indígenas: Un análisis del proyecto constitucional rechazado
La Constitución chilena de 1980, impuesta por la dictadura cívico‐militar, es reconocida internacionalmente como un caso extremo de neoliberalización de la naturaleza. Este modelo, sustentado en la propiedad privada, el libre mercado y la restricción del rol estatal, generó profundas asimetrías en el acceso y control de los recursos, dando origen a múltiples injusticias ambientales y conflictos. Estas tensiones estuvieron en el centro del estalli…
Bofedales as relational spaces: Irrigation and nurturing practices in a pre-Hispanic pastoral landscape, South Central Andes
Various factors have contributed to conceptualizing the altiplano as an “extreme” and hostile upland environment, where niche lifeways such as camelid herding are part of the limited human presence. Consequently, Andean herders are often portrayed as merely exploiting the ostensibly self-sustaining altiplano pastures and peatlands. This viewpoint is reinforced by the low visibility of material culture associated with and derived from pastoralist …
An uncooperative transition: Material contradictions in Chile's renewable energy boom
Policymakers increasingly take for granted that major private sector investments will be crucial to decarbonizing energy systems. Most decarbonization plans also involve expansion of the electricity grid to accommodate the electrification of processes and technologies currently powered by fossil fuels. Baked into these dominant policies and discourses is the assumption that electricity can and should be treated as a commodity, and must be rendere…
Lectura comprensiva inclusiva: Impacto de un paquete blended + DUA en primeros años de la primaria
El presente estudio analiza el impacto de un paquete blended basado en el Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA) en la lectura comprensiva inclusiva de estudiantes de 4.o a 7.o año de Educación Básica en Ecuador. La investigación adoptó un diseño cuasi-experimental con enfoque mixto, combinando análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, e incluyó 120 estudiantes y 6 docentes. Los resultados cuantitativos evidenciaron un incremento significativo en …

Privatizing water in the Atacama Desert and the resurgence of Atacameño indigeneity
Until the mid-1980s, the Atacameño indigenous people were broadly caricatured as Chilean peasants or herders. In the 1980s, they began a process of resurgence as indigenous in order to attain legal recognition. Structural approaches to indigeneity have explored this phenomenon by seeing Atacameños as passive subjects whose identity has been imposed, fixed, or mediated by the law and by external actors (e.g. bureaucrats, intellectuals, and nongove…
Productive practices in Andean rural areas and their relationship to extractive markets (Atacama Desert, northern Chile, 1915–2019)
Extractivism has marked the history of Latin America whose operations are in rural territories inhabited mainly by indigenous populations. Mining has had a remarkable expansion in rural territories of the Andes. Critical studies of these processes have focused on the disruptive aspects and conflict between companies, local populations, and States. However, mining has also been intertwined with the territories based on contradictory relationships …
Aporias of North/South political ecologies
In this intervention, we explore the impacts of geopolitical bifurcation on the field of political ecology, specifically the divide between political ecology from the Global North and political ecology from the Global South. We argue that this divide perpetuates categorical essentialisms, flattens authors’ standpoints, and reproduces inequities in how scholarship is valued and circulated based on where it is written from. These issues are not lim…
Toxic violence in marine sacrificial zones: Developing blue justice through marine democracy in Chile
Marine sacrificial zones are planned areas dedicated to the toxic violence of carbo-chemical port development around the world. In the marine environment in Chile, repeated fisher led new social movements have been raised regarding the need to create laws controlling marine pollution from combined coal power station/extraction complexes and realise participatory blue epistemic justice. A series of case studies from across Chile demonstrate the im…
Indigenous Resurgence, Identity Politics, and the Anticommodification of Nature: The Chilean Water Market and the Atacameño People
What is “uncooperative” about the commodification of nature? This article argues that critical understandings of neoliberal environmental governance must contend with complex processes of identity formation and mobilization. Drawing on an analysis of water rights formalization in Chile, widely seen as the most radical case of water commodification in the world, this article demonstrates how Indigenous identity works to subvert the processes and p…
Tele-production of miningscapes in the open-pit era: The case of low-grade copper, Bingham Canyon, US and Chuquicamata, Chile (1903–1923)
"Chilote tipo salmón". Relaciones entre comodificación de la naturaleza y procesos de producción identitaria: El caso de la región de Los Lagos y la industria salmonera
This paper uses the case of the installation of the salmon industry in the Los Lagos region, to review the relationship between territorial commoditization and identity. In this work we identify the processes through which the materiality of the salmon could alter or trigger transformations in the local identity. From a review and discussion of the literature on neoliberalism as forms of production of citizenship and subjectivity, with special em…
Introduction: The politics of identity in neoliberal Chile

Although The Loneliness is Great, Greater Yet is the Love of my Country”: Archaeology of a Military Outpost on the Topaín Hillock (Antofagasta Region, Chile)
Since the War of the Pacific against Peru and Bolivia (1879 1883), the Chilean State has constantly reproduced its sovereign power in the Atacama Desert by using different technologies of governance. During the Pinochet military regime (1973–1990), this process was radicalized through the militarization of the area. This militarization, in turn, produced new materialities in the desert landscape, such as the Topaín military outpost. In this artic…
