Abstract
In this article, socioeconomic practices during the period of the greatest coffee harvest in the town of Andes, Antioquia are analyzed. Differences and
similarities in socioeconomic aspects are established between the two stages
in which the annual harvest is divided: La traviesa harvest that takes place
in the first six months of the year and the main harvest in the last four months of the year. Ethnographic techniques such as participant observation,
semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis are used to show the
changes that occur in the town caused by the migration of coffee harvesters
known as Los Andariegos.
This paper analyzes the implications of the Hidroituango project in the context of the advance of neoliberalism and the repercussions of the exploitation of nature by inserting it into a logic of State competition to adapt to globalization, an analysis that takes relevance if one takes into account the Colombian state has turned the economy to the energy mining sector, which has been a great driving force, accounting for nearly 60% of the country’s exports. The methodology with which this analysis was carried out consisted of a tracking of academic, official type documentary sources (presented by state entities), journalistic and public communications issued by social movements. In this tracking, principles of analysis were used to establish the relationship between the progress of capitalism and the intensification of social conflicts, contrasting with the regulations under which the State entities that are behind Hidroituango are positioned and the position expressed by the communities. In the end, we found that the territories apparently unknown by the State, do not suffer from their absence, but are identified as part of the political geography to extract their
resources, generating justified conflicts with the speech based on the need for the State to reach those places “inhospitable, conflictive, wild” and so on, to bring them economic progress.
Abstract
This article’s objective is to make a critical reflection on some of the most influential theoretical propositions of the social sciences on the question of the state from the Marxist perspective. First, we expose the most general points of the Marxist conception of the state as they are presented synthetically in the work of V. I. Lenin. Subsequently, we present the discussions that very influential authors in the social sciences, such as Foucault and Abrams, present in relation to the Marxist concept of state, posing against them the answers that we could articulate assuming the Marxist point of view. In the discussion we refer, to the extent possible, to the political and practical implications of this perspective’s conceptualizations. Otherwise, a theoretical
critique is made, in perspective of a subsequent political problematization.
This article tackles the theme of the urban experience and city images with inhabitants of Medellin and Manantiales de Paz village. Starting from the inquire through pictorial
representations, photography and the semi-structured interview, the article reflects the contrast of the experience of life in the downtown of Medellin, the interactions generated by the space and the evocation of urban life by means images for its inhabitants.
