    Article Tourism challenges facing peacebuilding in colombia NAEF, Patrick James, GUILLAND, Marie-Laure Abstract Declaring that a tourist Colombia guarantees a post-conflict reconstruction is not a performative act. We must therefore ask ourselves whether perceiving tourism as a tool in the service of peace is more of a myth or a reality. After a brief look at the recovery of Colombian tourism since the beginning of the 2000s, this article aims to observe some of the challenges that have characterised the sector since the signing of peace agreements between the government and the FARC-Ep, such as the rebuilding the country's image, prostitution and narco-tourism, the issue of access to land and resources, the promotion of eco-tourism and "community" tourism, and the role of this industry in the reintegration of demobilised combatants.

  • Effects of Climate Change and Fisheries on the Distribution of Marine Fish in the Caribbean Colombian Sea Based on Traditional Artisanal Fishing Knowledge
    EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND FISHERIES ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF MARINE FISH IN THE CARIBBEAN COLOMBIAN SEA BASED ON TRADITIONAL ARTISANAL FISHING KNOWLEDGE BY FABRICIO PARDO SUPERVISOR: DR. FELIPE MONTOYA NOVEMBER 7TH, 2014 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of EnvironmentaL Studies in PartiaL FulfiLLment for the Requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada ___________________ _____________________ FABRICIO PARDO DR. FELIPE MONTOYA ABSTRACT Based on their practical experience and traditional knowLedge, artisanal fishers have the abiLity to identify the changes in the distribution of marine species, which seem to be reLated to cLimate factors and fishing pressure. Migratory and non-migratory marine fish species occur in the CoLombian Caribbean and they are dependent on the regional cLimatic conditions, which makes them move up or down in the water coLumn. However, according to Local fishers, factors such as fishing stressors (both commercial fisheries and artisanal fisheries) also make these species move or vanish in certain areas. i RESUMEN La presente investigación pretende determinar si ha habido algún cambio en La distribución de especies marinas debido aL efecto deL cambio cLimático y La presión de La pesca basado en eL conocimiento de Los pescadores artesanales deL Caribe coLombiano. ALgunos eventos cLimáticos como La temporada de LLuvia, Los vientos y Las corrientes frías han cambiado haciendo Que algunas especies marinas en este caso de peces desaparezcan por un tiempo y otras se vayan más profundo en eL océano. Pero, no soLo Los factores cLimáticos tienen un impacto también La presión de pesca hace Que algunas especies se vayan despLazado a sitios más profundos y a áreas protegidas.

  • The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics
    Living the Law of Origin: The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics Falk Xué Parra Witte Downing College University of Cambridge August 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Anthropology Copyright © Falk Xué Parra Witte 2018 Abstract Living the Law of Origin: The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics This project engages with the Kogi, an Amerindian indigenous people from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in northern Colombia. Kogi leaders have been engaging in a consistent ecological-political activism to protect the Sierra Nevada from environmentally harmful developments. More specifically, they have attempted to raise awareness and understanding among the wider public about why and how these activities are destructive according to their knowledge and relation to the world. The foreign nature of these underlying ontological understandings, statements, and practices, has created difficulties in conveying them to mainstream, scientific society. Furthermore, the pre-determined cosmological foundations of Kogi society, continuously asserted by them, present a problem to anthropology in terms of suitable analytical categories. My work aims to clarify and understand Kogi environmental activism in their own terms, aided by anthropological concepts and “Western” forms of expression. I elucidate and explain how Kogi ecology and public politics are embedded in an old, integrated, and complex way of being, knowing, and perceiving on the Sierra Nevada. I argue that theoretically this task involves taking a realist approach that recognises the Kogi’s cause as intended truth claims of practical environmental relevance. By avoiding constructivist and interpretivist approaches, as well as the recent “ontological pluralism” in anthropology, I seek to do justice to the Kogi’s own essentialist and universalist ontological principles, which also implies following their epistemological rationale.

Este documento no ha sido sometido para su calificación en ninguna otra institución académica. ____________________________ Mónica Alejandra Martínez Murillo Agosto 2013 Agradecimientos Cada momento particular de este proceso me sorprendió con la disposición de diferentes personas que generosamente me compartieron sus historias, su tiempo, sus vidas. Así que mi principal agradecimiento es con ellos. Esta investigación significó para mí una búsqueda personal por entender mi propia vida y transformarla. Un viaje personal más amplio que aún no concluye, pero que sin duda comenzó por aquí. Valió la pena cada paso, cada tropiezo, cada lágrima y cada puerta que se cerró. Con especial amor tengo que agradecer a mi familia, por mantener siempre su fe ciega en mí, incluso en los momentos en que yo la perdía. A mis hermanas Paola Martínez y Patricia Martínez, por su apoyo incondicional, su autodisciplina, sus consejos y porque la profunda admiración que les profeso fueron una fuente de fuerza e inspiración constante. A mis sobrinos Laura y David les agradezco las risas y su complicidad para imaginarme llena de sol y enredos de colores.

  • Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd
    National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival.

  • La Resistencia Cultural De Taganga Un Camino Hacia Su
    LA RESISTENCIA CULTURAL DE TAGANGA UN CAMINO HACIA SU RECONOCIMIENTO COMO PUEBLO ANCESTRAL. En algunas naciones entre las que se encuentra Colombia, ya se preconiza que el pluralismo étnico y cultural es uno de los principios que constituyen la nacionalidad colombiana. Esto representa la posibilidad de que la coexistencia de diferentes pueblos en el mismo territorio sea mucho más que una nostalgia de identidad. El reconocimiento de pueblos tribales ancestrales por parte de los Estados Nacionales se considera como un paso necesario en la construcción legitimas de sus democracias; por tratarse de pueblos que existen desde antes de que nacieran los estados modernos, por tener historias particulares, territorios ancestrales, idiomas y culturas únicas, las naciones del mundo han ido entendiendo que la dignidad y la pervivencia de estas culturas no sólo dependen de derechos otorgados a las personas individualmente, sino que dependen de derechos y libertades que se garanticen a los pueblos en su conjunto. Los estados se han tardado muchos años para reconocer esta realidad y aunque promulgaron algunos instrumentos generales que han servido para acabar con algunas costumbres atroces a las que fueron ya sometidos los indígenas, como el racismo, la discriminación y la esclavitud, aún no es pleno el reconocimiento de su derecho a la autodeterminación, a sus territorios, a sus recursos, a sus formas de gobierno, su idioma y culturas. No obstante lo prolijo que es nuestra constitución política, en el reconocimiento, de derechos colectivos a los indígenas,
