Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the representation of the then president of Uruguay, José Mujica, in a long-read feature story published in the Saturday supplement of the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. This is done with the aim of contributing to the understanding of how international journalism constructs distance and proximity in the reporting of distant subjects, and more specifically, how such constructions connect the Swedish audience to (or disconnect it from) political processes and relations in Latin America. In this way, the study contributes to the field of media representation in general, as well as to research on the representation of Latin America, more specifically. Critical discourse analysis is used to analyze the text and visuals. Three result topics are presented. The first comprises discourses that construct difference, such as those highlighting personal characteristics that make Mujica different from other presidents. The second centers on discourses that construct proximity between Mujica and the audience, such as those addressing sustainability and the connections between Sweden, Uruguay and Mujica. The third highlights discourses that distance or downplay difference and revolve around constructions about Mujica’s political past. The paper ends with a discussion of how this representation is able to construct Mujica as a close other without, in the process, abandoning key tenets of contemporary capitalist ideology.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- El 29 de abril de 2003, ocurrió la peor inundación catastrófica en la historia de la ciudad argentina de Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz. Al poco tiempo, el desastre se convirtió en una cuestión política, ya que se habían realizado graves acusaciones contra las autoridades y tomadores de decisiones con respecto a la negligencia, la corrupción y la falta de preparación para desastres. Surgió un movimiento de protesta demandando tanto la asignación de responsabilidades, como la compensación económica por las pérdidas sufridas por las víctimas. Este artículo analiza el papel de la memoria material y el olvido en el escenario del posdesastre, y más específicamente cómo los diferentes actores sociales en Santa Fe usaron los lugares y los objetos en una contienda por construir un memo-paisaje del desastre. El análisis se basa en etnografía de trabajo de campo translocal y transtemporal realizado en Santa Fe entre 2004 y 2011, y aplica las teorías antropológicas y sociológicas de la memoria a fines de analizar estos procesos.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- El tema del presente número especial el de los eventos críticos, extraordinarios y disruptivos; de los sucesos y situaciones que interrumpen un determinado orden social, ya sean de índole ambiental, tecnológico, financiero, político o social, y que tienen un impacto grande en la sociedad involucrada. Nos proponemos aquí introducir al lector cómo se puede abordar este objeto de estudio desde la antropología social. El problema de los desastres y de las crisis no es de ahora, ni es exclusivo de América Latina. No obstante, en la región han aumentado dramáticamente los impactos de los desastres de origen hidrometeorológico y geológico en el último siglo (BID 2010; UNISDR y Corporación OSSO 2013) y muchos países tienen experiencia histórica y reciente de profundas crisis sociales, políticas y económicas. Son eventos complejos y con un alto impacto social, político y económico que representan un desafío muy grande para las sociedades para gestionar, mitigar y reducir. Como tales, los estudios científicos sobre la problemática son indispensables para comprender tanto causas como efectos y así desarrollar soluciones sostenibles.En este número especial se presentan cuatro artículos que presentan casos empíricos de América Latina, con énfasis en Argentina y Brasil, que demuestran cual puede ser el aporte antropológico para analizar los eventos críticos, antes, durante y después. El número no aspira dar una visión exhaustiva de la antropología de desastres y crisis en América Latina, sino dar cuenta de un campo de investigación en crecimiento en la región que ya está haciendo importantes contribuciones, tanto a los estudios multidisciplinarios de los eventos críticos, como a las políticas de reducción de riesgo y de gestión de crisis y desastres.

Muerte en Exhibición. Necrológicas en el Boletín del Instituto Geográfico Argentino

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article analyses 14 obituaries of men of science that appeared in the journal Boletín Geográfico Argentino between 1889 and 1910. It is argued that together they form a pantheon of memorable bodies that stands out in contrast to other bodies, namely those that, at the same time and by the same men, are being collected for the museums of natural history. The focus of the article lies on how the figure of the scientist is constructed through a series of recurrent themes, such as laboriosity, productivity and devotion to the nation. These, contrasted with other articles in the magazine, help us visualize the practices of power and of knowledge embedded in the genre. The discussion raises questions about the tensions between the private and the public as well as those between the individual and the community. The analysis shows that although the worthiness of a place in the pantheon of memorable men is closely linked to the exercise of violence in the name of a nation and in the name of science, this exercise is silenced at the moment of exhibiting death in the studied obituaries.

Beyond Parity in Figures: The Challenges in Reality of Municipal Women Councillors in Bolivia
- 2018

Ingår i: Iberoamericana – Nordic Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. - 2002-4509. ; 47:1, s. 1-12

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bolivia is a country that has advanced substantially regarding women’s representation in politics. In fact, at a global level, Bolivia rivals Rwanda at both the national and local representation levels. This is particularly true at the local level where several women from all social conditions and ethnicity groups have become the majority of municipal councillors, even though women mayors are still a rarity. However, parity in figures does not mean parity in reality. Many of these women councillors face hard realities impregnated with discrimination and harassment of all sorts. Moreover, some mechanisms—like the rotation principle designed to increase participation and democracy—have been turned against many of these women councillors. Based on a field work using interviews and participant observation as well as findings of previous relevant works, this article discusses these problems and offers an analysis as to the causes of such a situation where parity in figures is not reflected in shared power and equal respect in the daily realities at the local level.

Cooperative Entrepreneurialism and Entrepreneurial Discourses : Everyday Neoliberal Logic in a State-sponsored Cooperative in Provincial Argentina
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The relationship between Latin American ‘Pink Tide’ governments and neoliberal market policies has been a topic of research across academic fields. Yet more empirical, ethnographically grounded research is needed on how neoliberalism shifts from being a reigning economic doctrine to a naturalized, common-sense logic, and how that logic operates among the masses within a socio-political environment intent on resisting neoliberalism. This article contributes to filling that gap. It explores the concept of neoliberalism as an everyday logic that manifests itself through an entrepreneurial discourse in a small state-sponsored cooperative in Santiago del Estero, North-western Argentina. Specifically, it analyses a) the relationship between a cooperative created by a state-regulated employment programme and the logic of neoliberalism; b) how understandings of entrepreneurialism serve as conveyers of the logic; and c) how the entrepreneurial discourse becomes normalized in the cooperative members’ narratives and self-representations and reflects in the making of their entrepreneurial selves. The article argues that neoliberalism-as-logic has become a guiding principle of and the engine behind popularly shared imaginaries and discourses of entrepreneurialism. That logic harbours a pursuit of freedom and self-governance, which makes ‘being entrepreneurial’ such a seductive way to understand and represent oneself.

Recension (refereegranskat)abstract
- A pesar de surgir de un contexto de crisis y precariedad, las editoriales cartoneras nunca se han definido ni limitado a esa premisa, sino que han manifestado una estética profundamente ligada a lo social, que va mucho más allá de la edición tradicional. Precisamente esto nos revela el elaborado libro colectivo Taking Form, Making Worlds. Cartonera Publishers in Latin America de Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn y Patrick O’Hare. A partir de un extensivo trabajo de campo y colaboración con Dulcinéia Catadora y Catapoesía en Brasil y La Rueda Cartonera y La Cartonera en México, Lucy Bell, Alex Ungprateeb Flynn y Patrick O’Hare presentan un proyecto de investigación sobre las editoriales cartoneras latinoamericanas. Analizan su historia y su práctica al mismo tiempo que reflexionan, dialogan y aprenden con y de las cartoneras/catadoras.

The Intersecting Identity Politics of the Ecuadorian Evangelical Indians
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Ibero-Americana, Nordic Journal of Latin American Studies. - Stockholm : Stockholm University Press. - 0046-8444 .- 2002-4509. ; 42:1-2, s. 135-158

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study analyses the Ecuadorian Evangelical Indigenous movement with a particular focus on the tensions between ethnicity and religion in political mobilization processes in the Chimborazo province. Chimborazo has been a traditional stronghold both of the Catholic Church and later of Evangelical churches, which makes the province exceptional and has triggered the formation of different political movements. The focus is placed on the social movement Ecuadorian Federation of Evangelical Indians (FEINE) and its political-electoral movement Amauta Jatari, as well as their complex relationships to the broader Indigenous movement. As for the theoretical-methodological approach, the article leans on ideas on Intersectionality – originally emerging from women´s studies – on relationships between socio-cultural identities and categories, which will be integrated into a sociological-political scientific analytical framework. This approach is valuable for problematizing, as well as better comprehending the complex mixture of identities that influence collective and individual behavior in society. Is there a certain hierarchic order between ethnic and religious identification among ethnically defined peoples with specific religious beliefs? Is this imaginable hierarchy persistent, or does it change according to differing social and political contexts?

Jacques Roumain and Gouverneurs de la rosée
- 2010

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The year 2007 was the centennial of the birth of Jacques Roumain, the greatest Haitian author of all times. During his short life (he died in 1944) he cultivated a number of literary genres, publishing poems, novels and essays. All these have been collected for the first time in an impressive volume edited by Léon-François Hoffman: Jacques Roumain, OEuvres completes, (Roumain, 2003). Here we find Bois-d’ébène (1945), as well as other poetry, the two volumes of short stories, La proie et l’ombre (1931) and Les fantoches (1931), both dealing with the Haitian upper class, and his two great peasant novels, La montagne ensorcelée (1931) and Gouverneurs de la rosée (1944), his absolute masterpiece, published only after his untimely death at the age of 37, as well as his essay on the sacrifice of a voodoo drum, Le sacrifice du tambour-assôtô(r) (1943).
