“…The origin of Ateneu Popular de Nou Barris (Ateneu 9B) is an early case of environmental justice in the Nou Barris district, Barcelona. In the 1970s, environmental racism awareness was raising in the United States (Bullard, 1983) but not yet in Europe. Nonetheless, the case of Ateneu 9B even if still quite unknown in the environmental justice framing, deserves a mention.…”

One essential element of the Barcelona School of Ecological Economics is that it is entirely trans-disciplinary. It is a school nestled in the political activism of its intellectuals that has gestated in dictatorial times, connected with the anti-Franco Catalan movement, in the several underground social movements, and remotely connected to the Spanish Republic and the anarchist experiment in Barcelona. These are events that Joan has so often remembered to all of us, and that can be well documented in the book of one of his doctoral students (Masjuan, La Ecología Humana en el Anarquismo Ibérico. Urbanismo “orgánico”, neomalthusianismo y naturismo social. Icaria Editorial, Barcelona, 2002). For an understanding of Joan Martinez-Alier and the Barcelona school, one needs to know where they are grounded, that is, in the fertile “soil” of Iberian social movements for alternative livelihoods. The argument is that livelihoods are relevant for ecological economics, as the concept of a good life can prove. The latter is an Aristotelian oikonomic goal – remembered by Georgescu-Roegen’s joie de vivre – with its connection to substantive economics as opposed to formal, neoclassical economics. The good life is a degrowth objective too, inspired by conviviality – as formulated by Ivan Illich – and by the pluriversal notion of “buen vivir”, so well-known on the other side of el charco where Joan is just as much known and beloved.

“…Es decir, a pesar de que la conceptualización que hace Achille Mbembe se sitúa en países de África y Medio Oriente, la lógica de la necropolítica se refiere a una manera en la cual operan las relaciones de poder en la sociedad y los procesos de sujeción y subjetivación que se producen. En el caso del Valle del Mezquital, la lógica necropolítica se encuentra en las jerarquías de racialización impuestas por la colonialidad, así como en la construcción de sujetos precarios en el marco de las condiciones materiales de la tecnomodernización de la ruralidad que se asentaron a través del despojo y la contaminación; algo que otras autoras también denominan racismo ambiental (Bullard, 1993). Así, tras una serie de acontecimientos, esta combinación daría paso a la construcción subjetiva del huachicolero.…”

Colonialidad, masculinidad necropolítica y violencia feminicida: El caso de la guerra contra el huachicol en El Valle del Mezquital, Hidalgo

A raíz de la pandemia del covid-19 se da un incremento importante en la tasa de feminicidios y desapariciones de mujeres en el Valle del Mezquital (estado de Hidalgo). La contingencia sanitaria en curso, la llamada Guerra contra el Huachicol y el problema socioambiental en esta región –una de las más contaminadas del mundo– dan cuenta del contexto colonial que enmarca esta política de muerte (Mbembe, 2006). Así, en este artículo retomamos el plan- teamiento del Sistema Moderno/Colonial de Género de María Lugones (2008) para explicar la configuración de una masculinidad necropolítica (Valencia, 2010) a partir de la figura del huachicolero, a quien se le confiere el derecho soberano de dar muerte a los sujetos y tener bajo su control la naturaleza. El resultado: la violencia feminicida como un efecto directo de los imaginarios coloniales de género en el que las mujeres son diferenciadas, desde las categorías de género y raza, como parte de la naturaleza, ergo, cuerpos apropiables, explo- tables y muertos al amparo de una pedagogía de la crueldad (Segato, 2014a).

“…In a context of unequal exposure to environmental wastes and pollutants that disfavored black communities, environmental injustice took the form of "institutionalized discrimination" (Bullard, 1983). Whether rooted in race, class, gender, ethnicity, or other variables of difference, various forms of environment-related discriminations inspired global environmental activism and movements in different parts of the world (Martinez-Alier et al, 2016;Carruthers 2008;Bullard 1993).…”
