New Spaces for Water Justice?

Emotional Imprints of War

“…From a methodological perspective, this investigation builds upon a computerassisted research methodology. 6 Such a prominent role for the computer distinguishes this study from most 'traditional' historical investigations. That the application of computational research methods in historical research is not (yet) very common does not mean that it is a recent development or a very novel one per nie Bird et al (London;New York: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2016) The term 'computer-assisted' is used here to describe a methodology that consists of computational techniques, but does not discard close reading of the sources.…”

“…In this definition, emotions are seen as a subcategory of the more general term affect, where emotions represent the more structured or patterned elements, such as joy, fear, or anger. 6 Based on a multidisciplinary perspective, Morgane Kimmich conceives emotion in her PhD-thesis 'Emotional Culture?' as an umbrella term that summarizes a broad range of various mental states.…”

Military Migrants: Luxembourgers in the Colonial Army of the Dutch East Indies

“…39 During the nineteenth century, an average of only 20.3 percent (218) of the Luxembourg recruits had had military experience prior to their enrolment in Dutch colonial army service, compared with 40 percent of the German volunteers. 40 In the first half of the century (until the 1850s), 33.3 percent were "veterans." Between the 1860s and the First World War, this rate dropped to 7.20 percent of re-enlistment.…”

The rights of the Wayúu people and water in the context of mining in La Guajira, Colombia: demands ofrelational water justice

“…From a feminist political ecology (FPE) of water (Bossenbroek and Zwarteveen, 2018; Zaragocin, 2018), I will analyze coal mining in the Guajira as an expression of a capitalist transformation and its effects on the access and control of water among Wayúu men and women, as well as on dispossession, land and water grabbing, and transformations of domestic spaces. I will also apply posthuman perspectives that explain the complex interactions between humans and nonhumans and the ways in which they establish relationships and coproduce each other under relational ontologies (De la Cadena, 2015; Elmhirst, 2015; Escobar, 2015).…”

“…Within these studies water is highlighted as a new center of analysis. Bossenbroek and Zwarteveen (2018) thus demand “theorizing water dynamics and gender dynamics as intimately linked: materially (through labor and property relations), and symbolically and discursively (through norms, meanings and symbols), with ‘gender’ and ‘water’ continuously defining and redefining each other—moving together, as in a perpetual dance.” From this perspective, discussions related to structural inequalities and their effects on water-control for women, which prevent them to have access and make decisions in relation to it, have emerged. Zaragocin (2018) argues for a new viewpoint regarding water and gender that brings together water-territory and body-territory, in order to understand how daily practices, quotidian experiences, and emotions of women are affected by daily water dispossession (Ojeda et al, 2015).…”
