In: Acta Científica XXIX Congreso de la Asociación Latinoamericana de Sociología 2013 (ISBN: 978-956-19-0828-4). Available at: http://actacientifica.servicioit.cl/biblioteca/gt/GT6/GT6_IamamotoS.pdf 2 ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on how collective memories appeared during social mobilisation in Bolivia and how they helped social activists to make sense of their struggle and to build a sense of cohesion around it. Two very distinct moments of social struggles are studied: those of September and October 2003 in the province of Omasuyos and the city of El Alto, and that of July and August 2010 in the city of Potosí. The work is based on 70 semi-structured interviews with local activists from the three areas, as well as archival research, particularly from newspapers, and participant observation in public spaces: demonstrations, marches, assemblies, workshops, commemorative ceremonies and local rites. The thesis is structured in three parts, each dedicated to one of the areas and to one main collective memory. Part I covers the struggle in Omasuyos province during the ‘Gas War’ and the memory of the anti-colonial rebellion of Tupac Katari (1781). Part II is dedicated to the mobilisation in the city of El Alto in the same period and to the memory of the War of the Pacific (1879) and the lost seacoast. Part III focuses on the civic strike in Potosí in 2010 and on the memory of the rise and fall of the “glorious” colonial Imperial City of Potosí. Collective memories depicted in this study served as platforms to express the demands of contemporary social struggles, and were particularly powerful because they contained a combination of the following elements. They presented a simplified prototypical story of imbalance, with just and unjust characters (normally identified as the activists and the state), which could be easily projected into familiar spaces and displayed corporal metaphors reproducing the effect of trauma. This narrative has often experienced a path-dependent continuous remembering through history (fed by official nationalism and oppositional movements) and turns out to be both constitutive and instrumental for the activists claiming it. Thus, this work avoids the understanding of collective memories as “latent” or as expressions of “collective unconscious” and makes a contribution to the study of the politics of memory and the mechanisms that explain the strength of storytelling during collective action. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In a study all about memory, this short section is about recalling the people that made it possible and expressing my deep gratitude for their support, knowledge, friendship and love. This is my memory path. Jallalla. During this research, I received crucial funding from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) of the Brazilian government (number of the process BEX 0557/12-9); Queen Mary University of London; and Santander, through its studentship award. I cannot express enough gratitude to my supervisor, James Dunkerley, who has supported all important steps of this research, provided me with wise guidance and has shown an enormous generosity by sharing his knowledge of and passion for Bolivia and Latin America. Jeff Webber gave me valuable feedback many times during these past few years and helped me to remember that, in my heart, I am a radical thinker too. During the progression reviews of the programme, Adam Fagan, Madeleine Davis and Bryan Mabee gave much appreciated comments on my work. I must thank Andrew Loveland and Alex Challis, former and current research managers of the School of Politics and International Relations, vital guides for PhD survival in the British academic environment. I am also indebted to the examiners in my viva, Paulo Drinot and Andrew Canessa, whose comments allowed me to enlarge considerably the theoretical and methodological discussions of the thesis, and opened my work to new scholarly dialogues. In Queen Mary, Boonwara Sumano was my first and dearest friend, who offered me unlimited support during the difficult periods of these last four years. With Sandra Carvalho, I shared precious laughs, as well as many experiences of learning and living. Matheus Lock has been a great friend, with whom I shared all sorts of things, from the anguishes of Brazilian politics to the desperation of the London rental market. My colleagues in the PhD room, Daniel Gover, Koen Slootmaeckers, Angus McNelly, Sofa Gradin, Gina Floyd, Jennifer Thomson, Alen Toplisek, Marissa Díaz, Tania Gomez and David Jeffery were essential support. I would never have got through the past two years without the tea breaks, cookies, hugs, Christmas tree, Monday’s pub adventure in Weatherspoon’s, technical assistance to deal with the printer and all the marvellous plans to transform the kitchen rooftop into a London summer attraction. Elsewhere in London, I have enjoyed the friendship of the staff working at Canecão pub in 2012, Evertane, Sandro, Cauê, Leandro e Elton. Sometimes I miss that half an hour after the shift, in which I considerably improved my snooker technique. Jay Lingham, a good friend and passionate academic, has been a constant and essential support all these years. The friendship 4 of Ana Carballo is another gift that life in London has given me; her dedication to critical development studies has definitely inspired me and many other researchers. For someone who lived most of her adult life in a megalopolis of 20 million people, living in London should have been a piece of cake. It has been exhausting and fascinating but definitely not easy. And to “survive” this constant rediscovering of oneself, to feed the continuous interest on the city and its overwhelming expressions of basically everything in the world, I borrowed the eyes of old and dear friends. Through his immense talent, Vitor Flynn showed me the people on the tube, the dark shadows and the architecture of the alleys, the ‘lost in translation’ patterns of our daily lives, and a fox called Lola. Through her inexhaustible enthusiasm for life, Renata Summa took me to parks, markets, concerts, plays, bookshops, and shared with me all the beautiful things that warm our hearts. Aiko Amaral has been an incredible friend, with whom I shared the passion of studying Bolivia, the experiences of UK academic life and countless moments of good laughter. Pedro Mendes has provided brave companionship of beers and cachaças, plus all the interesting conversations that came along with them. Anne Toomey and her deep commitment to ethical and horizontal research practices have been inspirations throughout these past years and I truly appreciate her friendship and support. I met Emma Felber and Thomas Grisaffi very quickly but they gave me sage advice on fieldwork and memory studies in Bolivia, showing a generosity typical of almost everyone I met in the field of Bolivian studies. In Brazil, I am hugely indebted to Bernardo Ricupero, who demonstrated a close interest in this project and was always an attentive interlocutor. Caroline Freitas also provided me precious advice during the first steps of this study, inspiring me with her strength and generosity. The best and the worst memories of fieldwork in Bolivia were shared with Rafaela Pannain. During our long kitchen-table conversations in La Paz, which I will always remember with affection, we mastered the art of living with doubts, love and friendship. I truly appreciate the friendship of Patricia Costas, who offered me the first home I had in La Paz. Big heartedly, Gabriel Zeballos familiarised me with the city’s slopes and was a constant support. Also during my stay in Bolivia, I enjoyed the friendship and guidance of many fellow researchers: Heloisa Gimenez, Clayton Cunha Filho, Rodrigo Santaella, Liu Leal, Gladstone Leonel Jr., Renata Moraes, and Lorenza Fontana. I must also mention the companionship of the Mamani siblings (Gilber, Mara and Rubén), Bernardina Suarez, Giorgia Sessa, Nicolás Tremblay and the Chaskis. During my fieldwork in El Alto, I was most indebted to Marco Llanos, who supported me in many aspects of the research and was a dear friend.

  • Apoyamos La Candidatura De Alejandro Grimson a La Secretaría Ejecutiva De Clacso Multiplicar Los Aportes Públicos De Las Ciencias Sociales
    APOYAMOS LA CANDIDATURA DE ALEJANDRO GRIMSON A LA SECRETARÍA EJECUTIVA DE CLACSO MULTIPLICAR LOS APORTES PÚBLICOS DE LAS CIENCIAS SOCIALES En un contexto político mundial y latinoamericano con avances claros de las fuerzas neoliberales y de ultraderecha, nuestras sociedades ven incrementar las injusticias y desigualdades, con daños hacia derechos democráticos y sociales. Viejas y nuevas formas de violencia material y simbólica caracterizan la versión actual del neoliberalismo en América Latina y el Caribe. Los pensamientos críticos plurales de las ciencias sociales vienen sufriendo un recorte de los recursos de trabajo, investigación y formación que resultan cruciales para que nuestras sociedades puedan reflexionar sobre sus propios dilemas y las diferentes soluciones. Por eso, es clave el rol de CLACSO para fortalecer la pluralidad de pensamientos críticos. No se trata de replicar los formatos de las agencias científicas ni los formatos tradicionales. Se trata de potenciar el papel público y político de la investigación en ciencias sociales y del propio Consejo, sin nunca confundirlo con partidización. No es una pluralidad neutra, sino de la articulación y potenciación de sus diferentes vertientes y tradiciones. Nuestras pluralidades críticas y sus debates son una arena imprescindible para construir otras formas de imaginación social, innovaciones teóricas y prácticas. Las implicancias políticas de la investigación social no pueden limitarse a las políticas públicas. Es necesario fortalecer los diálogos y aportes con diferentes movimientos sociales, formaciones culturales emergentes, proyectos educativos de cambio, y formas de comunicación e información contrahegemónica. El centro de CLACSO son sus centros: su fortalecimiento y el despliegue de todo su potencial a partir del trabajo en red.

    NEGOTIATING EVANGELICALISM AND NEW AGE TOURISM THROUGH QUECHUA ONTOLOGIES IN CUZCO, PERU by Guillermo Salas Carreño A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Mannheim, Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

Dolores Bargues1*, Patricio Artigas1, Rene Angles2, David Osca1, Pamela Duran1, Paola Buchon3, R. Karina Gonzales‑Pomar3, Julio Pinto‑Mendieta3 and Santiago Mas‑Coma1 Abstract Background: Fascioliasis is a snail‑borne zoonotic trematodiasis emerging due to climate changes, anthropogenic environment modifcations, and livestock movements. Many areas where Fasciola hepatica is endemic in humans have been described in Latin America altitude areas. Highest prevalences and intensities were reported from four provinces of the northern Bolivian Altiplano, where preventive chemotherapy is ongoing. New strategies are now incorporated to decrease infection/re‑infection risk, assessment of human infection sources to enable efcient prevention measures, and additionally a One Health initiative in a selected zone. Subsequent extension of these pilot interventions to the remaining Altiplano is key. Methods: To verify reproducibility throughout, 133 specimens from 25 lymnaeid populations representative of the whole Altiplano, and 11 used for population dynamics studies, were analyzed by rDNA ITS2 and ITS1 and mtDNA cox1 and 16S sequencing to assess their classifcation, variability and geographical spread. Results: Lymnaeid populations proved to belong to a monomorphic group, Galba truncatula. Only a single cox1 mutation was found in a local population. Two cox1 haplotypes were new. Comparisons of transmission foci data from the 1990’s with those of 2018 demonstrated an endemic area expansion.

Casilla 1044. Cochabamba. Bolivia 2 Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo (MEDA). Cochabamba. Bolivia Abstract The Department of La Paz has the largest number of wild potato species (Solanum Section Petota Solanaceae) in Bolivia, some of which are rare and threatened by extinction. Solanum achacachense, S. candolleanum, S. circaeifolium, S. okadae, S. soestii and S. virgultorum were all searched for in their type localities and new areas. Isolated specimens of S. achacachense were found in its type localities, while S. candolleanum was found in low density populations. Solanum circaeifolium was also found as isolated specimens or in low density populations in its type localities, but also in new areas. Solanum soestii and S. okadae were found in small, isolated populations. No specimen of S. virgultorum was found at all. The majority of the wild species searched for suffered the attack of pathogenic fungi. Interviews with local farmers revealed the main factors negatively affecting these species to be loss of habitat through urbanization and the use of the land for agriculture and forestry.
