Colombia is no exception, and for many years, the country has been subjected to just that. In contemporary times, discussions of Colombia have been largely dominated by la Violencia, promulgating images of Colombia does provide a necessary context to many of the current issues in the country. -
[A Colombian Experience ]
[A COLOMBIAN EXPERIENCE ] by [Antoni Loignon de Courval] Concordia University JMSB Student - 2013 REPORT LAYERS UNIVERSIDAD EAFIT 2 REGISTRATION 2 AMENITIES 2 ADAPTATION 2 LIFE IN MEDELLÍN 3 FERIA DE LAS FLORES 3 A RIVALRY WORTH SEEING 4 A RIDE IN CHIVA 5 COLOMBIA AS A WHOLE 6 SPIRIT OF COLOMBIA 6 MY PERSONAL WORD 6 1 REGISTRATION The registration process at the university of EAFIT is rather well done. An international student upon arrival really needs to go to the admissions office and get every little detail settled so that adaptation can begin. First, it is important to get matched with a buddy and attend the orientation week (5 days before official starting date of the semester). The host-student in charge of you usually helps you getting your official and required Foreigner VISA at the migration office not so far away from the university. Finally, you should make sure to get in touch with an agent (in person) at the office of international affairs to get all proper course outlines and valid courses equivalencies in order to start. AMENITIES The university is quite amazing! It looks completely new, even though it is not that recent. It has a really nice gym, with a low fee per semester or per month. The library is quite huge and many desks have laptops and computers for students to use freely, and the Internet access is university-wide which makes it great for every student waiting between courses or wishing to get all work done at school instead of at home. Housing is not difficult at all, for my part I found a studio apartment near school by myself, but it’s recommended to go thru school and their in-charge individuals to find cheaper and student accommodations so that integration with the school be more fluid. -
Carleton University Gold in the Chocó, Colombia a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In
Carleton University Gold in the Chocó, Colombia A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Anthropology with a Specialization in Political Economy By Daniel Tubb Ottawa, Ontario September, 2014 © 2014 Daniel Tubb Abstract This dissertation undertakes an ethnography of gold in the Chocó department of northwest Colombia. It answers this question: What is gold about if it is not just about gold? The dissertation does not offer one answer, but rather shows various ways to understand gold in the Chocó. It examines artisanal, small-scale, and large-scale gold mining to show gold is part of a fixed subsistence livelihood economy, a hustle—or rebusque—economy, and economic fictions on the frontier through money laundering and speculation via small-scale, and, tentatively, large-scale gold mining. Gold is the thread that connects the dissertation’s discussion of artisanal mining and the subsistence livelihood practices of rural Afro-descendant people; mine talk and mine practice; the epistemological difficulty and ambiguities of knowing in context of conflict; the hustle of paisas, or white outsiders from other regions of Colombia; migration and displacement to and from the Chocó; frontiers, the state, and collective territory; small-scale gold mining and the hustle; gold and its role in money laundering; multinational mining corporations on collective territories; Afro-descendant organizations and the process of prior consultation; speculation and money laundering; and the political and environmental effects of small-scale and artisanal mining for Afro-descendant communities. The dissertation explores gold from its material extraction in mining to its connections with different economies. -
