“…The above argument means that altering a territory by developing hydroelectric projects affects not only physical elements of economic, ecological, or sociocultural importance, but also intangible aspects whose existence derives from the community's relationship with its geographic surroundings [18,71,72]. This relationship is not necessarily limited to residence, ownership, or dependence on the natural resources that exist there, but also depends on a series of historical, psychological, social, and cultural processes that construct a sense of identity and belonging to that space by the social group that inhabits it [72,73]. Similarly, this idea shared by a group about its relationship with the space also serves as a claim on natural resources, that is, it defines for the group or community who has a legitimate right to transform the space and how, which may or may not be defined as property rights [73,74].…”

Understanding Conditioning Factors for Hydroelectric Development in Chile: Bases for Community Acceptance

et al. 2022

Chile has defined an energy development policy in which hydropower is an important part of the energy grid. This energy source has not yet been accepted by many people in local communities. For future hydroelectric development to be more widely accepted, the Chilean Ministry of Energy developed a methodological framework called Objects of Valuation. This framework is aimed at identifying the main community interests that may condition hydroelectric development. The objective of this paper is to analyze the scope of the framework based on a review of the scientific literature and information generated through participatory activities in three basins that have high hydropower potential. Analyzing the results obtained from the application of the framework, four complementary intangible factors not represented by the framework are identified: the lack of validation of a formal participatory process, under-recognition of different worldviews, distrust regarding the development of hydroelectricity, and a sense of self-determination in the community. These factors could potentially condition community acceptance of hydroelectricity, thereby limiting the framework as a decision-making tool. We recommend that this methodological framework should be complemented by the incorporation of intangible elements in the decision-making process, using a systematic tool applicable to spatial planning and strategic environmental-assessment processes.

“…From a historical perspective, several scholars argue that rural inequalities date back to the totalitarian regime. All the improvements in social rights of the Agrarian Reform (1964)(1965)(1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973), such as unionization, land restitution and land distribution for peasants, were reversed by the counter-reform carried out during the civil-military dictatorship (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) (Bengoa, 2015;Bowen et al, 2012;Gómez, 2002;Kay, 1978Kay, , 2015Valdés, 2017). Peasants were expropriated of their means of production, especially land and water, a process that Bengoa (2017) refers to as a period of typical original accumulation.…”

This article explores the political role of rural and indigenous women in the context of the socio-environmental, health and political crises in Chile, where social movements have pressured the political establishment to decisively move towards a change in Chile’s constitutional foundations. The study analyses the historical political demands and strategies of the National Association of Rural and Indigenous Women (ANAMURI) as a case of the women’s peasant movement with a relevant political role in shaping the social demands in the face of the crises. Following the political ecology of food through the decolonial and ecofeminist perspective and the social movement theory, findings indicate the current relevance of rural and indigenous women as political actors of change, a relevance that has been neglected for most of Chile’s history. With their leadership and socially grounded demands, peasant and indigenous women are influencing the political agenda decisively using strategies that are shared with other peasant movements in Latin America. Rural and indigenous women are fundamental political actors that should undoubtedly be considered when studying struggles for social change in the 21st century.

“…Según lo planteado por Folchi (2003), Svampa y Álvarez (2010) y Bowen et al (2012), estamos en presencia de un nuevo actor social total; uno que va en contra de la contaminación y el desastre ambiental, que se produce por el modelo extractivista en América Latina en lo general y en Chile en lo particular. Sin embargo, en el contexto de Antofagasta, este es un movimiento de carácter reciente, que empero aglutina a un sector transversal de la población.…”

Antofagasta: apuntes para una biociudadanía contra la necropolítica ecotoxicológica

El presente texto es una revisión de antecedentes ecotoxicológicos, respecto de la contaminación del norte chileno y, particularmente, acerca de la contaminación por metales pesados y sustancias inorgánicas en Antofagasta; para reflexionar en torno al concepto de Necropolítica (Mbembe, 2011) y Necrocapitalismo (Banerjee, 2008).Considerando la evidencia empírica de la contaminación generada por la Gran Minería, en la Región de Antofagasta, esta debe ser entendida como acción Necropolítica; ya que la generación de riqueza minera, debido al proceso productivo, genera contaminación, lo que deteriora la salud y –dada su característica dosis/dependiente– es un proceso de producción de muerte. Se plantea que el costo vital de la producción económica capitalista minera, es a expensas de vidas humanas, que se sacrifican como contrapartida de este Necrocapitalismo.Por último, se releva la importancia fundamental del accionar individual/colectivo de la comunidad afectada, planteándose la aparición de un sujeto movimental; que fundamenta su acción colectiva en su propia condición biológica, como sujeto enfermo/contaminado (Petryna, 2002) por metales pesados y compuestos inorgánicos. En tanto, a través de la abogacía y accountability, emplazan al gobierno y sector empresarial de la minería, exigiendo acciones concretas, en relación con el derecho a la protección de la salud individual y colectiva.
