Reconstruyendo la degradación ambiental del Lago Vichuquén, Región del Maule, Chile, mediante el uso de registros históricos-documentales.
Get PDFThrough a historical-documentary analysis the environmental condition of Vichuquén lake and its adjacent area was reconstructed between the 19th and 20th centuries. The obtained results allowed to determine the natural landscape transformations provoked by the human intervention. It was established that until the end of 19th century the environmental intervention would have been moderate, but was during this period when a more intensified human influence through the natural resources exploitation and land use changes, started. Since the middle of 20th century the lakeside occupation increases with tourism and other recreational activities, producing a change a trophic level of the ecosystem. Besides the anthropogenic impacts it was also verified the important influence of some natural events in the dynamic of Vichuquén Lake landscape.Mediante un análisis histórico-documental se reconstruyeron las condiciones ambientales del lago Vichuquén y su entorno entre los siglos XIX-XXI. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron determinar transformaciones del paisaje natural como consecuencia de la actividad humana. Se pudo establecer que hasta fines del siglo XIX la intervención ambiental habría sido moderada, momento en que comenzó a intensificarse notoriamente debido a la explotación mercantil de recursos naturales y al cambio de uso de suelo. Desde mediados del siglo XX, la ocupación ribereña del lago con fines turísticos-recreacionales incrementó severamente la degradación ambiental del ecosistema léntico, aumentando su nivel de trofía. Se verificó además la importante incidencia de algunos fenómenos naturales en la dinámica del complejo lacustre de Vichuquén
Para plantar e colher arroz é preciso redesenhar a paisagem: narrativas de imigrantes europeus sobre o cultivo do arroz na Colônia Dona Francisca (século XIX)
Get PDFThe article analyzes discourses and experiences about rice cultivation in the landscape of Dona Francisca Colony (present-day city of Joinville, Santa Catarina). This forest landscape was profoundly altered by the European immigration and the strengthening of agriculture and trade in the Dona Francisca Colony in the late 19th Century. Narratives about rice planting were described by European immigrants through letters and newspapers published during this period. Based on the knowledge of some of these sources, this paper proposes to discuss rice cultivation practices and their correlations with the formation process of agroecological systems in the Dona Francisca Colony landscape.O artigo analisa discursos e experiências acerca do cultivo de arroz na paisagem da Colônia Dona Francisca (atual cidade de Joinville, Santa Catarina). Essa paisagem florestal foi profundamente alterada pela imigração europeia e pelo fortalecimento de atividades da agricultura e do comércio na Colônia Dona Francisca do fim do século XIX. Narrativas sobre plantio do arroz foram descritas por imigrantes europeus por meio de cartas e jornais publicados nesse período. Com base no conhecimento de algumas dessas fontes, este texto propõe-se a discutir práticas de cultivo do arroz e suas correlações com o processo de formação de sistemas agroecológicos na paisagem da Colônia Dona Francisca

Irrigación y Organización Social en una Sociedad en Transición al Capitalismo: el Caso de la Asociación de Canalistas del Maipo en Chile (S.XIX)
Get PDFThis paper problematizes the privatization of water rights in Chile in historical perspective. Analyzes the configuration of the hegemonic role of the Asociacion de Canalistas del Maipo on the management of irrigation water, as a paradigmatic case that conditioned the structuring of hydrosocial networks in Chile within the process of incorporating the country into world markets. We maintain that the Asociacion de Canalistas del Maipo managed, from a particular historical eventuality (downpours of 1827 on the San Carlos channel), to seize a common good without any counterweight, exercising a despotic power over the irrigation that ended, in the long term, deeply conditioning the relationship between society and water in Chile. We analyze different conflicts around the different strategies of control, administration and access to water used by the association, in order to elucidate the mechanisms that it adopted with the objective of legitimizing and perpetuating its predominance and power.El artículo problematiza la privatización de los derechos del agua en Chile en perspectiva histórica. Analiza la configuración del papel hegemónico de la Sociedad del Canal Maipo sobre la gestión del agua de riego, como un caso paradigmático que condicionó la estructuración de las redes hidrosociales en Chile, en el contexto del proceso de incorporación del país en los mercados mundiales. Sostenemos que la Asociación de Canalistas del Maipo logró, a partir de una eventualidad histórica particular (aguaceros de 1827 en el Canal San Carlos), apoderarse de un bien común sin ningún contrapeso, ejerciendo un poder despótico sobre el riego que terminó, en el largo plazo, condicionando profundamente la relación entre la sociedad y el agua en Chile. Analizamos diferentes conflictos en torno a las distintas estrategias de control, administración y acceso al agua empleadas por la Asociación, a fin de dilucidar los mecanismos que adoptó con el objetivo de legitimar y perpetuar su predominio y poder

Violencia y Extractivismo en el Perú contemporáneo
Get PDFSince the 1990s, socio-environmental conflicts in Peru have multiplied exponentially. This is closely related to the increase in the extraction of materials, especially from the mining sector. Conflicts are accompanied by a lot of repressive violence by the State and extractive companies. The vast majority of the time, the dead remain anonymous and the aftermath of the many injured are ignored. In this article, after reviewing the Peruvian social metabolism in the period 1990-2018, we will focus on the types of violence and the causes of this violence that, according to our hypothesis, has its origin in coloniality.Desde los años 90, los conflictos socioambientales en el Perú se han multiplicado de manera exponencial. Esto está en estrecha relación con el aumento en la extracción de materiales, sobre todo del sector minero. Los conflictos son acompañados de mucha violencia represiva por parte del Estado y de las empresas extractivas. La gran mayoría de las veces, los muertos quedan anónimos y las secuelas sobre los numerosos heridos son ignoradas. En este artículo, después de repasar el metabolismo social peruano en el periodo 1990-2018, nos vamos a centrar en los tipos de violencia y las causas de esta violencia que, según nuestra hipótesis, tiene su origen en la colonialidad
