Coppered Lives: The Chilean sacrifice zone of Quintero Bay
Get PDFIn September 1964, when Las Ventanas copper smelter was opened in Quintero Bay it was welcomed as a key piece in the Chilean development strategy. Just over fifty years later, Quintero Bay hosts the largest industrial complex in Chile and has become the site of a chronic environmental disaster, with recurrent pollution crises and industrial accidents that pose massive risks to its human and nonhuman residents. Through historical and ethnographic analysis, involving the use of archival documents, government proceedings, media publications, interviews and participant observation, this thesis investigates Quintero Bay’s process of copper-led industrialisation and its transformation into a sacrifice zone. The thesis explores some of the Chilean government’s environmental regulatory responses, the everyday life of Quintero Bay residents and the emergence of practices of political contestation. The thesis argues that the expectations placed on copper in terms of development, the characteristics and pressures of international copper trade and the adoption of neoclassical calculation regimes have contributed to the emergence and autonomisation of copper’s existential needs. That autonomisation has led to the adoption of a logic of sacrifice that privileges the existential needs of copper over the protection of Quintero Bay’s population and environment. The spatial consequences of that regime has been the production and expansion of a sacrifice zone in Quintero Bay. This study contributes to the understanding of the extended dynamics involved in the production sacrifice zones as spaces of the Anthropocene, illuminating some of the processes of stabilisation, protection and contestation taking place within these spatial formations
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Peru (Quintero & Cambra 1996, Rasmussen & Asenjo 2009), Brazil and Bolivia (Williams et al. 2011, Bartholomay et al. 2015). Comments. Smith (1879) gave a size range in his description of M. simulatrix, indicating that he had more than one specimen, but he did not specify a holotype. There are two conspecific and almost identical specimens in the collections of BMNH, both labelled on circular blue labels as from “Ega”; one (Figs 1–4) bears a handwritten label (probably by Smith) indicating it as the “type” of “ Mutilla simulator ” [sic], but the other has no contemporaneous determination label. (The different spelling of the specific name is not unprecedented. For example, the holotype of Mutilla stimulatrix Smith, 1879: 192, from South Africa, bears Smith’s type label as “ Mutilla stimulator ”, the “type” of M. salutatrix Smith, 1879: 227 from Mexico has Smith’s label as “ M. salutator ” and that of M. investigatrix Smith, 1879: 209 from Ega is labelled as “ M. investigator ” (DJB, pers. obs). The types of all of these species are female specimens, so it is possible that the names were changed to the feminine forms for (posthumous) publication, but not on the original labels.) The accession codes associated with the locality labels indicate that both specimens were collected/accessed long before their description and were thus both available to Smith; furthermore, their sizes agree with those given by Smith. It is thus evident that these are the syntypes, and we hereby designate the specimen bearing Smith’s “type” label, and in slightly better condition, as the lectotype. The other specimen is therefore a paralectotype; it bears two labels by Mickel indicating that it was compared with the “types” of both M. simulatrix and M. frigidula in 1931. Mickel had evidently not realized that the two specimens in BMNH were syntypes, but he had recognized the specific synonymy which we have now formally established. Appropriate lectotype and paralectotype labels have been added to these specimens. As reflected above, the holotype of M. frigidula does not bear any labels giving the country, province or collector; those details, listed by Williams et al. (2011), were derived from the introductory material in Cresson’s (1902) paper.Published as part of Cambra, Roberto A., Brothers, Denis J. & Quintero, Diomedes, 2016, Review of Frigitilla Williams in Bartholomay et al., 2015, with description of a new species from Panama (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae), pp. 395-400 in Zootaxa 4189 (2) on pages 396-397, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4189.2.13, http://zenodo.org/record/16597
