The expansion of extractivism has converted disputes over the control of territories and commons into the principal source of social conflict and mobilization in Latin America. Extractive projects tend to reorganize local territories and lives, deepening intersecting colonial, patriarchal, and capitalist patterns of power. Local populations’ responses have been diverse, sometimes seeking favorable negotiations with mining or oil companies, and in other cases defending alternative(s) (for) development(s). Conflicts and resistances against extractive projects have not only transformed local territories. They have also impacted political culture and organization more broadly, due to the emergence or renovation of political identities, strategies, and imaginaries. Within the processes of social organization, gender and race relations, discourses on identity and nature, and relations with NGOs, political parties and national social organizations have been further politicized and transformed through both conflict and construction. As such, struggles against extractivism have also meant the reconfiguration of colonial and patriarchal capitalism. This panel interrogates the implications of resistances against extractivism in terms of political strategies and discourses. We seek to understand how historical power patterns and contemporary comprehensions of identity, territory, and nature are reconfigured in these processes, and we will discuss the potentials and limitations for wider societal transformation through these local resistances. Finally, we will analyze how state and private actors have sought to limit this transformative potential.
On Protest: Subjects, Actions and Geographies of Dissent in the 21st Century, domingo 30 de abril, 4 a 5:45 pm

- Martha Balaguerra, Paul Amar, Barbara Cruikshank, Raphael Hoetmer, Janet Conway, Elva Orozco
This workshop convenes engaged scholars who have followed the subjects, actions and geographies of protest of the last decades. Its trans-regional scope attests to how Latin American subaltern subjects, social movements and oppositional politics have been amplified by and resonated with a global landscape of protest that has marked the millennium like no other social phenomenon. Following LASA sessions in 2014 and 2015, and an international seminar On Protest organized under the auspices of a Mellon-LASA Seminars Grant, we aim to disseminate our collective findings which will also be available as edited volume in 2017 (Cruikshank et. al. forthcoming)

Nuestra propuesta para esta mesa redonda consiste en la creación de una mesa en la que confluyan diferentes actores de organizaciones de México, Perú, Colombia y Chile quienes no solo expongan las diferentes problemáticas del agua en los territorios, sino se presenten alternativas y metodologías para lograr haceres y saberes comunes, inclusivos, dialogados, transformadores de las injusticias hídricas. Todo esto a partir de la dinámica construida en torno a la Revista (In)Justicias Hídricas- Esta es un espacio latinoamericano para creación, reacreación de conocimiento transdisciplinar que quiere construir un puente entre la academia, las comunidades, y los sujetos sociales quienes generan un diálogo en el que se visibilizan diversas epistemologías y prácticas. Tiene como objetivo impulsar debates para la transformación de las desigualdades hídricas con diferentes integrantes de procesos sociales, comunidades y académicos que viven y atraviesan, reflexionan y enfrentan las contradicciones capital-vida.
