Una herencia en Manaos (anotaciones sobre historia ambiental, ecología política y agroecología en una perspectiva latinoamericana)

Este artículo pretende explorar algunas vinculaciones de la agroecología con la historia ambiental, en sus escalas macro y micro, y con la ecología política. Una clave de interpretación es un interrogante sobre la identidad latinoamericana, que es percibida como articulación y sedimentación de varias herencias diferentes,en la cultura, la tecnología, los paisajes y la naturaleza

The Survival of Non-capitalism

This article explores the importance of non-capitalist space within the global political economy. The issue of how to categorise and understand space in so-called peripheral regions such as Latin America has been a contentious one. Whilst many radical analyses have focused on the dynamics of capitalism in relation to the geography of development, explaining how it has been able to survive and grow, this article makes the case for a more multi-linear theoretical framework with which to view the socio-economic landscape. This is inspired not only by the later writings of Marx but also the specific Marxian class analysis of those involved in Rethinking Marxism. Via a focus on Oaxaca in southern Mexico, this article highlights both the survival and the recreation of spaces of non-capitalism, and provides an argument for why we should consider these to be important for transformative action more broadly, whilst also discussing their potential limitations

Theotonio dos Santos (1936-2018), the revolutionary intellectual who pioneered dependency theory

This article analyzes the origins and development of the dependency theory through the life and work of Theotonio Dos Santos. His formative years at the academy and his early political activism in Brazil are examined, particularly, his time at the University of Brasilia with Vania Bambirra, Ruy Mauro Marini and André Gunder Frank ("the quartet"). This is followed by a discussion about their years of exile in Chile where the quartet regrouped at the Center for Socio-Economic Studies (ceso) of the University of Chile, and where they wrote their founding texts on dependency theory. Chile provided fertile ground for the development of this theory due to its intellectual climate, institutionality, and the country's political transformations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The military overthrow of the Allende government on that fateful September 11th, 1973 forced the quartet once again into exile. The article continues with an analysis of Dos Santos' writings during his exile in Mexico and then back in Brazil. During this period he became involved with world system theory which culminated in the publication of his extensive trilogy on the contemporary crisis of capitalism and social theory
