“…Este proceso de racialización, que postulaba fuertes vínculos entre el progreso, la geografía y la blanquitud (al igual que entre el estancamiento, la geografía y la no blanquitud, para el caso argentino ver Dicenta, 2023), no fue una invención moderna. Estas ideas se entrelazaron por primera vez durante la configuración del mundo colonial y, por lo tanto, precedieron el desarrollo de la modernidad e influyeron en él (Gall, 2004;Go, 2016;Goldberg, 2002;Omi y Winant, 2014;Robinson, 2005;DuBois, 1920).…”

¿Por qué el golf es un deporte que se asocia popularmente con la riqueza? ¿Por qué lo practican los sectores ricos de México? ¿Qué lo distingue de otras prácticas deportivas? ¿Siempre se relacionó el golf con las clases altas o es esto una tendencia reciente? La exclusividad atribuida al golf lo convierte en un foro estratégico en el cual se puede analizar la confluencia de intereses de la clase alta, narrativas racializadas y relaciones desiguales de género dentro de múltiples contextos geográficos e históricos. Esta obra busca mostrar la manera en que las estructuras de privilegio se incrustan en prácticas mundanas, ocultando su verdadera esencia detrás de argumentos sobre la inteligencia, la laboriosidad, las buenas decisiones y la disciplina. Este no es un libro sobre golf ni un tratado contra este deporte, sino una exploración crítica de cómo las dinámicas de dominación y subordinación se expresan abiertamente, al mismo tiempo que se ocultan en el contexto de un espacio privilegiado como es el golf, en México. En este libro se utiliza al golf como un estudio de caso desde el cual se examinan las múltiples capas que constituyen el poder y que influyen en la reproducción de las desigualdades sociales.

“…To be clear, the widespread occupation of Indigenous lands by missionaries, ranchers, and gold miners was devastating to Indigenous communities in the Archipelago (Chapman, 2008; Dicenta, 2023; Harambour & Barrena Ruiz, 2019; Legoupil, 2015; Martinic Beros, 1997). Furlong, the US explorer, was in the Archipelago during this period, and the vicious cycles of violence and impacts of introduced diseases he witnessed were profound.…”

The “world's end” or “el fin del mundo” is a very common representational figure used to describe the Fuegian Archipelago of South America. There are world's end hostels, coffee table books, and scientific expeditions, for example, and the phrase is widely used to describe the region's landscape and geography, Indigenous peoples, biota, and to signal precarity along several registers. In this article, I examine the world's end through the lens of the frontier, specifically focusing on how colonial imaginaries of Fuegian peoples as “lost” or lost to history are foundational to the region's territorial projects, including conservation efforts. Research for this paper stems from ethnographic fieldwork in the Fuegian Archipelago, between 2011 and 2018, as well as archival research on colonial settlement in the region.

“…One emblematic expression is the well‐known slogan “ conocer la Patria es un deber” (to know the homeland is a duty), adopted by the government in 1934. The slogan reflects the nationalist view that engaging with nature is not only a benefit—connected to broader rights of vacation, education, and social welfare—but also an obligation and a means of asserting national belonging (Carreras Doallo, 2012) linked to racializing processes (Dicenta, 2023).…”

“…The scenic road held the promise of future opportunities in the tourism industry, particularly within the context of global conservation efforts that seek to capitalize on the region's landscapes and heritage commodities. However, ecotourism has a long‐standing history in the region, dating back to the 19th century, when Tierra del Fuego was conceived as a destination for urban, elite, and whiter citizens to seek healing and recreation (Dicenta, 2023). Furthermore, since attaining provincial status in 1991, tourism became central in Tierra del Fuego when it was assumed to support economic autonomy, assert national sovereignty, and contribute to making Fuegian moralities.…”

“…Since the 1940s, the Argentinian state escalated its presence and influence in the region while rendering Indigenous Peoples invisible or assimilated (Gerrard, 2021). Seeking to argentinize the territory, the Maritime Governorate established industries based on oil, timber, and livestock, fostering internal migration to tackle the perceived elevated proportion of foreigners (Dicenta, 2023).…”

The Ruta 30 scenic road project in Argentine Tierra del Fuego's Argentine has encountered significant resistance. In this article, we analyze a public hearing convened to assess the road's impacts as an event illuminating the daily dynamics of the region. In this borderland, narratives about sovereignty create a space of liminalities between pasts and futures, centers and peripheries, and living and the dead. In this context, and with Patagonia's expanding conservation and ecotourism frontiers, studying public reflexivity becomes crucial for understanding rapid changes. To this end, we employ Turner's “social drama” concept to analyze the hearing as a performance enacting authorized discourses of experts, policymakers, environmentalists, industry, and workers. We conclude by discussing “liminal governance” in a border territory that transcends neoliberal and sovereign designs, and “impossible opposition,” revealing how the hearing reframed the road conflict as a sovereignty crisis, ultimately mitigating potential disruptions to established settler‐colonial structures.
