Procesos de territorialización mbya-guaraní en el sudoeste misionero desde la década de 1970: una lectura desde el <i>acercamiento</i> y el <i>lugar-evento</i>

In his novel Brick People (1988), Alejandro Morales depicts both the process of deterritorialization initiated by Porfirio Diaz and the Mexican Revolution, which creates flows of Mexican migrations across the US-Mexico border, and the process of reterritorialization instigated by the modern US capitalist system, by which Mexican immigrants are constrained within the United States as a captive labor force. Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have suggested that this dual process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization is essential to the workings of the modern capitalist machine, which depends upon a strict class axiomatic to control the decoded and deterritorialized flows of capital, people, and information. However, in Morales's novel, the dual process of deterritorialization/reterritorialization is ultimately upset by schizophrenic flows, which they define as the surplus product of the decoding and deterritorializing machine of capitalism. In the novel, these schizophrenic flows are unleashed by supernatural and human acts of violence (including plagues of devouring insects, a massacre of Chinese immigrants, and the kidnap and brutal murder of a twelve-year-old girl), and they create a slit in the canvas of reality (Morales 161) that reveals the limits of the capitalist machine. (1) Ultimately, Morales suggests that only by following the revolutionary potential of these violent schizo-flows can the captive Mexican workforce of the brick factory escape the strict social constraints imposed by the modern US capitalist system. Brick People is a biographical and historical novel, based on the life of Morales's parents and their experience coming from Mexico to the United States. (2) It tells the story of Octavio Revueltas, who migrates from Mexico to Southern California to work in the Simons brick factory. As Morales notes, it was Mexican labor in the first half of the twentieth century that created the material to house, build, and develop the economy of Southern California. They were in a sense the backbone of industry that was never recognized; one of the great links, important, crucial, silent links, unrecognized links of a great economic chain (Gurpegui, Interview 11). (3) Morales's novel traces the process by which the Mexican peon (or landless laborer) is deterritorialized by the despotic machine of Porfirio Diaz's Mexico and incorporated into the modern capitalist machine of the early-twentieth-century United States as a migrant laborer who must sell his labor capacity. At the same time, Morales shows how the process of deterritorialization is accompanied by a process of reterritorialization, whereby the Mexican migrant laborer is incorporated into the artificial neoterritoriality created by the Simons brick factory. brick factory, constructed by its owner Walter Simons on the model of the Mexican hacienda, constrains the physical movement and economic mobility of its deterritorialized Mexican workers in order to maintain a captive labor force for its own system of production. Deleuze and Guattari provide a useful model for interpreting the economic, social, and representational transitions depicted by Morales in Brick People. In Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Deleuze and Guattari describe how such transitions occur between three types of social machines: territorial, imperial (or despotic), and modern capitalist. In a social machine or socius, the parts (human beings) are integrated and organized to perform certain tasks, and the flows (of capital, people, and information) are coded so as to control the forms of desire inherent in any human machine: The prime function incumbent upon the socius has always been to codify the flows of desire, to inscribe them, to record them, to see to it that no flow exists that is not properly dammed up, channeled, regulated (33). first form of socius is the territorial machine in which the social body remains integrated with the natural body of the earth. …

Em páginas do Facebook criadas por moradores de bairros periféricos com a intenção de trocar informações hiperlocais (NUNES, 2017), os cidadãos que já compartilham uma proximidade geográfica podem criar multiterritórios de informação. Por meio do método etnográfico para internet (HINE, 2015), este artigo analisa como acontecem e quais as características dos processos de desterritorialização e reterritorialização dos sujeitos nos campos digitais. Para tal, utiliza-se o embasamento teórico de Haesbaert (2014), Santos (2006) e Lemos (2007). Conclui-se que a multiterritorialidade se dá em perfis pessoais e páginas e que os processos de reterritorialização acontecem devido à necessidade de reforçar a ideia de comunidade e de buscar a resolução de problemas sem depender do poder público.

In this article, the authors explore mapping as a pedagogical approach. Drawn from two literacy classrooms, the authors report on five empirical examples of mapping, elucidating the ways in which mapping activities were sites of dynamic meaning-making through processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987). In both cases of mapping pedagogy, participants used mapping to interrogate texts, reflect on experiences, express identity, and locate emotions as language learners and readers. Employing visual analysis to ‘think with theory,’ the authors provide a coordinate plane to map the pedagogical dimensions of mapping across the five empirical examples. The authors illustrate the ways students gravitated across a continuum of literal to metaphorical visual depictions of their learning and life experiences. This inquiry offers new ways of theorizing thematic mapping of learning and experience for classroom practice.

ABSTRACTThis article responds to the call from forced migration studies for increased engagement with the mobilities paradigm, as well as to criticism of the mobilities paradigm for not engaging sufficiently with immobility and power relations. The article analyses the experiences and strategies of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in rented dwellings in Tbilisi, in the South Caucasus state of Georgia, who are among the most mobile groups of IDPs in that country. To understand the relationship between mobility and immobility, the article applies Heidegger's notion of ‘dwelling’ and more recent developments of that notion, together with the discussion between Honneth and Fraser on ‘recognition’. First, the article introduces internal displacement in Georgia. Second, it discusses the housing situation for the IDPs. Third, the theoretical concepts of ‘dwelling’ and ‘recognition’ are developed to enable analysis of experiences and practices of mobility and immobility. Fourth, the various trajectories through which IDPs have come into their rented dwellings are discussed, and processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization and the experience of recognition through the dwelling are analysed. The conclusion addresses the role of dwelling and recognition for efforts to understand the relationship between mobility and immobility.

El presente trabajo tiene como objeto de estudio la representación de identidades juveniles en el audiovisual producido por jóvenes de clase popular. Se trata de estudiar la construcción de identidades, a través del consumo de bienes materiales y simbólicos, en el proceso de producción de obras audiovisuales realizadas por jóvenes en talleres de producción de video, impartidos por TV OVO, en Santa Maria-RS. El objetivo principal es investigar la representación de estos bienes en el proceso de producción de videos que realizan los jóvenes. Para comprender cómo se representan estas identidades, se realizó un estudio etnográfico en TV OVO. A partir de la descripción de las rutinas, notamos que la mayor parte del tiempo y la motivación de los jóvenes se dedica a la audiencia o en la realización de audiovisuales. Las identidades se delinean de los productos de los medios

There are few studies on the concept of nordicity in Spanish-language literary texts. Hardly any of them focuses on the works of Miguel de Cervantes, apart from interpretations of his novel Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda, whose plot is partly set in Europe’s most northern reaches. However, borealization, as a process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization of images of the North used by the South itself, can be an effective means of unearthing complex and contradictory significances of the relationships between characters, landscapes, and national values. The article analyses how the knight-errant Don Quixote explores the landscape of La Mancha as a borealized realm in which he attempts to find his North amidst the contradictory values of a nation.

Diaspora studies on migration communities have shown how these transnational groups appropriate the new space in the receptive country through a process of deterritorialization and reterritorialization. These processes involve a reinterpretation and reconceptualization of the linguistic relationship between the language of the diaspora group and those spoken in the new home. One of the most visible places where this contextual relation must be negotiated is in the public sphere, where language, culture and identity are inevitably interwoven (Blackwood, Lanza & Woldemariam, 2016). Using a multimodal approach and using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this article analyzes how an Ecuadorian-American community in Queens transformed the linguistic landscape of their surroundings to make it similar to what this community had in their home country.

This article presents a review of the conceptual foundations and results of three previous research works (Gil and Blanco, 2019; Barrios, 2020, and Sierra, 2021), developed with the aim of highlighting the heuristic potential of community mobilization actions as forms of collective agency. Through the analysis of the processes and achievements of three community experiences of an artistic and cultural nature, it is shown how collective agencies, through their processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization, creatively confront established social imaginaries with proposals for instituting new ones. These processes achieve territorial reconfigurations that, as collective agency acts of resistance, mobilize the subversion of the "given worlds" towards the "possible worlds" and promote new forms of interaction and the development of autonomy as a human project.

This article examines the portrayal of AI in Ian McEwan’s Machines Like Me and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun through Deleuze and Guattari’s framework of the twofold movement of capitalist deterritorialization and reterritorialization. It highlights how neoliberal capitalism leverages AI to create new markets, reinforces social inequalities, and ultimately alienates individuals from their communities and identities through processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization. The commercialization of AI reflects capitalist dynamics, disrupts social interactions, and challenges human moral choices. The analysis reveals how AI contributes to technological divides, human displacement, and the creation of new territories of alienation and economic disparities. Both novels serve as cautionary tales, depicting dystopian futures where AI-driven automation leads to widespread unemployment and social unrest, highlighting the potential for AI to exacerbate existing inequalities. The novels expose the profit-driven promise of technological progress – particularly the allure of increased productivity and efficiency – and its impact on society. This paper emphasizes the urgent need for a critical reflection on the ethical and social implications of AI to ensure a more equitable and human-centered technological future.

This essay tests Karl Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation on nomadic and seminomadic populations. Drawing on a comparative historical-sociological analysis of nomadic communities in North Africa and North America, it argues that in primitive accumulation, the control of mobility is as central as that of land enclosure. It theorizes the role of the colonial state as an apparatus of capture that operates not only through enclosure but through processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization. For the colonized, this historical and continuous process of primitive accumulation operates through a double enclosure: land and mobility. For the empire, this process consolidates imperialism and statehood. Primitive accumulation deployed by a colonial state is empire making. This essay thus agrees with indigenous and critical scholars about the race-making function of primitive accumulation and provides a theoretical foundation regarding the primitive accumulation of mobility relevant to—but occulted by—the field of the sociology of migration.

This paper presents an extended argument toward the conclusion that fairy tales embody a form of “anticipatory knowledge” that can be deployed in contemporary settings to aid the development of healthy human subjectivity. We draw on a view of the genesis of mind and experience that emphasizes the integration of “internal” and “external” worlds, operating together in an embodied and situated present. We contextualize this discussion in terms of socio-historic and psychoanalytical interpretations of fairy tales, drawing on figures such as Bruner, Jung, Zipes, Warner, Tatar, and Deleuze and Guattari. Fairy tales are encountered by subjects in a variety of settings, including pedagogic, group storytelling, in individual reading, and in film. They present possibilities for existential creativity through processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization, appropriation, and auto-retellings, by virtue of what we call “anticipatory knowledge.” Taking into account these processes enables a holistic account of the pedagogical and psychological potential of fairy tales, presenting a new framework for their psychological promise.

Edlund MB, Schottler SP, Reavie ED, Engstrom DR, Baratono NG, Leavitt PR, Heathcote AJ, Wilson B, Paterson AM. 2017. Historical phosphorus dynamics in Lake of the Woods (USA–Canada) — does legacy phosphorus still affect the southern basin? Lake Reserv Manage. 33:386–402. A historical phosphorus (P) budget was constructed for southern Lake of the Woods. Sediment cores from 7 bays were radioisotopically dated and analyzed for loss-on-ignition, P, Si, diatoms, and pigments. Geochemical records for cores were combined using focusing factors for whole-basin estimates of sediment, total P, and P fraction accumulation. Although historical monitoring shows that external P loads decreased since the 1950s, sediment P has continued to increase since the mid-20th century. Much sediment P is labile and may be mobile within the sediments and/or available for internal loading and resuspension. Two mass-balance models were used to explore historical P loading scenarios and in-lake dynamics, a static one-box model and a dynamic multi-box model. The one-box model predicts presettlement external loads were slightly less than modern loads. The dynamic model shows that water-column P was higher in the 1950s–1970s than today, that the lake is sensitive to external loads because P losses from burial and outflow are high, and that the lake is moving to a new steady state with respect to water-column P and size of the active sediment P pool. The active sediment pool built up in the mid-20th century has been depleted through outflow and burial, such that its legacy effects are now minimal. Comparison of historical nutrient dynamics and sediment records of algal production showed a counterintuitive increase in production after external P loads decreased, suggesting other drivers may now regulate modern limnoecology, including seasonality of P loading, shifting nutrient limitation, and climate warming.

The paper deals in the issues of the evolution in the gender policy in Ireland and the role in that evolution of the women’s movement and the Catholic Church – two actors who took opposite positions in the process. It considers an influence of the Irish movement for women’s liberation on the change in the gender policy of the state, fighting the influence of the Catholic Church. Based on documents of the women’s liberation movement, legislative documents and materials from periodicals, the dynamics of the gender agenda development is revealed, as well as the factors of its change. The article reviews the change in policy in such issues as contraception, abortion, same-sex marriage, divorce, etc. The author concludes that there was the key role of the Catholic Church in the formation of a patriarchal society in independent Ireland of the first half – mid 20th century and that the disappointment of the Irish in the authority of the church played a significant role in the change of the gender agenda. Contemporary Ireland’s progressive policy on the gender, family and sexuality is associated with the influence of liberation movements in other Western countries, the fall of the influence of the Catholic Church, and the tradition of active women’s participation in the Irish national liberation movement.

The current relationship between law and Christianity in the United States, Mexico, and Canada is shaped by historical disputes about the proper relationship between church and state and contemporary religious and political demography. This chapter asks how the current law of each nation treats Christianity (typically as one expression of religion) and how Christianity affects the law (typically through the engagement of Christians in the ordinary political process). All three nations have formally abandoned an establishment of Christianity in favor of a liberal form of neutrality between church and state, and all three have grown increasingly religiously pluralist, but the contours of neutrality are different in each nation. In the United States, neutrality tends toward religious accommodation and government partnerships with legally independent religious institutions to provide social goods. A variety of forms of Christianity continue to influence the policy goals of both major parties; Christianity has both shaped and been shaped by partisan polarization and culture wars over family, race, and education. In Mexico, liberalism has long meant government control of the Catholic Church. Though the numbers of evangelical Protestants are growing, most Mexicans remain Catholic. The government remains committed to being secular yet exercising tight control over ecclesiastical property, press, and political rights. Canada has a long history of close church-state collaboration—the Catholic Church with Quebec and Protestant churches with the other provinces—but in recent decades the Canadian society and government have both grown increasingly secular.

This thesis is a history of St Ursula’s Yeppoon, a Catholic boarding school on the central coast of Queensland that was established in 1917. The provision of adequate education in the scattered settlements of remote Queensland was low on the list of government priorities for the first hundred years of settlement in the colony and state secondary schools in those areas were not established until the 1960s, hence St Ursula’s played an important role in the education of girls in Queensland. The arrival in western central Queensland and eventually Yeppoon of a community of women religious known as the Presentation Sisters was a cultural clash in lifestyle, dress and curriculum for many children who had never seen nuns before and, in many cases, had not even been inside a classroom. Through interviews with eighty-five past staff and students of St Ursula’s, this thesis yields new perspectives on the complex interactions between gender, religion and class in the education of girls in religious institutions in remote Queensland through much of the twentieth century. The history’s main threads and themes of origin, leadership, formal education, culture and faith are viewed through the lens of personal memory as a multiplicity of experiences, perspectives, interpretations and subjectivities. This thesis employs the basic technique and the goals of oral history and incorporates oral history testimonies of a collection of stories and reminiscences of staff and students of St Ursula’s. This is in keeping with qualitative research methodology where there are multiple approaches as well as multiple types of oral history.1 The findings from this study challenge the widely held assumption that the teaching sisters were always complicit with the church’s view that a convent school education was ultimately a preparation for the role as a good Catholic wife and mother. In so doing, this thesis provides a richer and more nuanced account of the operation of the power and challenges facing religious educational institutions as they negotiated the rapid changes taking place in remote parts of Australia in the twentieth century. Its aim is to contribute to Australian educational history and to the history of secondary education in the vast remote regions of Queensland.
