    La ciudad restauradora
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Villalpando-Flores, Arturo Eduardo; Bustos-Aguayo, José Marcos
    The symbiotic relationship between human beings and the environment has evolved in parallel, leaving its mark on the genetic structure of our species and the formulation of social statutes. This convergence is evident in the dynamics of modern life, the functional aspects, and the emotional anchors. Based on the postulates of environmental psychology and design proposals, this article presents a model called “restorative urbanism”, stating that proximity to urban nature is a critical element in the composition and design of urban environments, fostering better perceptions of external habitability and improving individual and collective well-being in biopsychosocial terms through the environmental restoration process, achieving urban-environmental and psychological sustainability. The importance of the proposal lies in its ability to question how the morphological characteristics of the sociophysical space influence the quality of the socioenvironmental, physical, and emotional relationships with the surrounding environment, especially in the face of urban, environmental, and climatic contingencies.

    Articulación de resistencias a la expansión forestal en Uruguay y Argentina
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Ramirez, Delia Concepción; Santos, Carlos
    Piray 18 in Misiones (Argentina) and Paso Centurión in Cerro Largo (Uruguay) represent significant experiences of populations that managed to stop the advance of forestry. At the regional level, it has influenced the consolidation of foreign ownership and concentration of land ownership. The contexts also converge: these are areas considered productively marginal, on national borders (with Brazil and Paraguay), where hybrid forms of the national language (Spanish) coexist with subaltern languages (Jopará and Portuñol). The investigation of the subaltern politicization of local actors allows a different view of the hegemonic processes of economic, social and territorial transformation, based on the challenge to the development model installed in the policies of business promotion. The right to inhabit the territories and to a healthy environment is re-signified from these collective experiences and what we call environmental narrative is presented as a strategic resource of the actors in conflict to position themselves in opposition to forest agribusiness and to carry out strategic actions accordingly.

    Reflexiones sobre las estrategias de política pública sobre hidrógeno en Chile y Uruguay
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Roel, Nahuel
    This study examines public policies on green hydrogen production in Chile and Uruguay, evaluating the strategic documents that outline these policies in both countries, and paying special attention to the socio-environmental consequences of the development of this industry. Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, has emerged as a crucial alternative for decarbonization and global energy transition. In Latin America, a region with abundant natural resources and a growing interest in this industry, it presents a significant economic opportunity but also entails considerable environmental challenges. The study, which includes a discourse analysis of relevant documents, also proposes a theoretical analysis from three perspectives: equality, justice, and emancipation. Both countries exhibit a strong export orientation and a focus on economic benefits, while also showing a high degree of optimism and a lack of attention to potential negative socio-environmental repercussions. In summary, the article calls for a reconsideration of the current institutional frameworks from three classic axes of political theory, aiming to highlight the necessity for public policies that comprehensively address the region’s socio-environmental challenges and advocate for greater academic production density from the social sciences on this topic.

    Descolonizando el conocimiento
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Dupuits, Emilie; Puertas, Cecilia; Intriago, Melania
    In Ecuador, the Andean highlands ecosystems, also known as páramos, are essential for producing water for human consumption and irrigation. Some páramos in the country are managed by indigenous communities that have contributed to their conservation through principles of reciprocity, territory and culture. However, these community-led initiatives are often marginalized by techno-scientific discourses and visions of water as promoted by public authorities as well as international experts working on these issues. Faced with these limitations, local water justice movements advocate for a more politicized approach that aims to shed light on the unequal distribution of benefits, access and control over water, as well as the tensions surrounding water rights, knowledge and cultural practices. This article draws on a case study in the communities of Cangahua, located in the northern highlands of Ecuador, where the Ñukanchik Urku páramo committee is contributing to watershed conservation based on community management principles. This study aims to examine the processes of decolonizing knowledge around water conservation practices in the community páramo of Ñukanchik Urku. Using participatory and transdisciplinary research methods from a decolonial perspective, this article questions the boundaries between techno-scientific and local and indigenous knowledge regarding water conservation.

    Discursos y controversias medioambientales en las huellas del ganado trashumante
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Bindi, Letizia; Núñez, Paula Gabriela
    This paper reviews the current challenges of extensive and transhumant grazing, by comparing European and American processes. In the first case, Italian Molise’s experiences are analyzed, in the second case from North Argentine Patagonia. It investigates the footprints of passing cattle, searching the double recognition made by institutions and populations. It seeks to understand the strands that link the meanings of practices, addressing the socio-environmental challenges of territories between marginal and essentialized, which refer to structural aspects, customs and specific practices. The cases are compared by understanding them within the Anthropocene. To make visible their crossing tensions, it appeals to the Capitalocene critical theories, which associate sustainable development, dissemination and education with a new discourse on global heritage. From here, and in the light of experiences, relationships between intangible cultural heritage and sustainable development around livestock farming are made explicit, based on the shared difficulties in recognizing the activity outside of an essentializing perspective.

    Entre la vida y la muerte
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-12-02) Pulido Varon, Heidi Smith; Durán Palacio, Nicolasa
    Caucasia, municipality of Bajo Cauca Antioqueño in Colombia, expresses necropolitical and necrocapitalist dynamics that State and illegal actors deploy on the territory and specifically on the Cauca River. This action permeates the daily life and subjectivity of local communities in affective, territorial, identity and memory aspects, which are built in experiences and life trajectories in the territory. This text analyzes from a qualitative approach and social phenomenological method, which, from the experience of six participants, captures some meanings of this tributary. The field work considered interviews and accompaniment to their work in situ. Among the results, local meanings are highlighted, which emerge in the felt experience linked to the river, coexisting and in tension with hegemonic positions of the State and the armed groups.

    Desafiando las estructuras jurídicas de despojo desde lo local
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-10) Gómez Rojas, Ana Carolina
    Latin America is framed within a neoliberal rationality that favors the installation of legal structures of dispossession (LSD) (Hernández, 2019). However, local communities resist and counterattack in diverse ways, including legal and political. A space for observing these dynamics is the socio-environmental conflict derived from the La Colosa gold mining project in Colombia, since, through the use of mechanisms such as popular consultation, new institutional agreements have been reached challenging the traditional distribution of power over the territory. The central argument is that the case of resistance to megaprojects through legal mechanisms helps to observe the processes of institutionalized resistance that transform legal structures to give way to a different relationship between nature-society. Methodologically, the argument is based on participant and participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentary, and journalistic review between 2013 and 2022, and review of judicial documents from a documentary ethnography perspective (Muzzopappa Villalta, 2013). Despite the asymmetry of power in which socio-environmental disputes develop, the results show that there are multiple interactions challenging the hegemonic power from the local level, forcing it to a permanent territorial reflexivity. In addition, it is based off the responses from organized communities, public authorities, and corporations that the strategies for the following stages of the conflict arise. This implies that any conflict is not beforehand resolved.

    Las cadenas como medio de vida
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-10) Enrico, Nicole
    In a context of greater financing for conservation projects with a focus on territorial market development in the Peruvian Amazon, this research seeks to understand how the livelihoods of indigenous women producers can configure the dynamics of value chains through their trajectories. Therefore, the present study is based on the experience of the community of Shampuyacu, where the NGO Conservation International intervenes through agreements and conservation projects. Specifically, the case of the Bosque de las Nuwas Association and its tourism and infusion value chain initiatives will be analyzed. To analyze this case, we describe the dynamics of the chain, characterize the configuration of women’s livelihoods, and analyze how the association of women’s different assets and the trajectories they have in the value chain is interrelated to its dynamics. The qualitative and exploratory study finds that women’s trajectories differ by virtue of their social assets, mediated by ethnicity and relations between clans, the generalized context of gender violence, and support systems for care. Regarding human assets, the level of education can define the adoption of leadership in the chain or generate exclusion, causing conflicts. Finally, the use of natural assets such as family gardens can be an opportunity to scale up the chain, but the lack of coordination between actors doesn’t make it possible.
