This article highlights the relationship between the Ecuadorian indigenous movement and the progressive government of Rafael Correa and his PAIS Movement.The objective is to examine why the indigenous movement has decided to oppose the Correa government, despite initial common political concerns. To explain this paradox, both the recent political history of the indigenous movementas well as the attitudes and politics applied by the Correa administration are analyzed. Five fields of political discrepancy and differentiation are offered as probable explanations for the conflictive relationship between the indigenous organizationsand the Correa government. These interconnected themes that seek to explain the distancing are: an intercultural dilemma, opposition to extractivism,different attitudes toward social mobilization, agrarian policies and finally, the state policy labelled de-sectorization. ; En este artículo se resaltan las relaciones entre el movimiento indígena ecuatoriano y el gobierno progresista de Rafael Correa y su Movimiento PAIS. El objetivo del texto es examinar por qué el movimiento indígena está en la oposición política a pesar de tener variassemejanzas en las agendas políticas iniciales con el gobierno. Para explicar esta paradoja se analiza tanto la reciente historia políticadel movimiento indígena como las actitudes y las políticas aplicadaspor la administración de Rafael Correa. Se ofrecen cinco campos de discrepancia y diferenciación política como probables explicaciones de la relación conflictiva entre las organizaciones indígenas y el gobierno de Rafael Correa. Estos temas interconectados, que buscan explicar el distanciamiento, se desarrollan en el artículo: un dilema intercultural, la oposición al extractivismo, las diferencias en cuanto a la apreciación de la movilización social, la política agraria y, finalmente, la política estatal denominada la desectorización.

"This volume brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous repatriation practitioners and researchers to provide the reader with an international overview of the removal and return of Ancestral Remains. The Ancestral Remains of Indigenous peoples are today housed in museums and other collecting institutions globally. They were taken from anywhere the deceased can be found, and their removal occurred within a context of deep power imbalance within a colonial project that had a lasting effect on Indigenous peoples worldwide. Through the efforts of First Nations campaigners, many have returned home. However, a large number are still retained. In many countries, the repatriation issue has driven a profound change in the relationship between Indigenous peoples and collecting institutions. It has enabled significant steps towards resetting this relationship from one constrained by colonisation to one that seeks a more just, dignified, and truthful basis for interaction. The history of repatriation is one of Indigenous perseverance and success. The authors of this book contribute major new work and explore new facets of this global movement. They reflect on nearly 40 years of repatriation, its meaning and value, impact and effect. This book is an invaluable contribution to repatriation practice and research, providing a wealth of new knowledge to readers with interests in Indigenous histories, self determination, and the relationship between collecting institutions and Indigenous peoples"--

Sobre el complejo y heterogéneo, pero al mismo tiempo poco conocido, contexto pluriétnico hondureño el artículo describe y analiza los elementos culturales fundamentales de los chortís, una minoría indígena de tradición maya emparentada con otros pueblos hermanos de Guatemala. Los movimientos de revitalización de la etnia a nivel cultural, político y religioso se enfrentan a fenómenos de resistencia y negociación tanto con los poderes locales y estatales como con los procesos imparables de la globalización. ; This article concerns the complex and heterogeneous, but at the same time little-known, plural ethnic context in Honduras. The article describes and analyses the fundamental cultural elements of the Chortís, an indigenous minority of the Mayan tradition, related to other family groups of Guatemala. Movements towards the ethnic, cultural, political, and religious revitalization face acts of resistance and denial from the state and local authorities as well from the irresistible processes of globalisation. ; Grupo de Investigación Antropología y Filosofía (SEJ-126).

Leverhulme Trust ; Leverhulme Trust: ECF-2016-301 ; Why does territory matter to social movements and what does it allow them to achieve? Despite the ever-apparent centrality of territory-the appropriation and control of space through forms of power-to social movements worldwide (e.g., protest camps, land occupations, indigenous activism, squatting, neighborhood organizing), there has been a surprising lack of attention to this question by Anglophone geographers. This article develops Brazilian geographer Fernandes's notion of socioterritorial movements as an analytical category for social movements that have as their central objective the appropriation of space in pursuit of their political project. It does so by contrasting the concept of socioterritorial movement to those of social movement and sociospatial movement and proposing four axes of analysis for socioterritorial movements. First, territory is mobilized as the central strategy for realizing a movement's aims. Second, territory informs the identity of socioterritorial movements, generating new political subjectivities. Third, territory is a site of political socialization that produces new encounters and values. Fourth, through processes of territorialization, deterritorialization, and reterritorialization, socioterritorial movements create new institutions. These axes are further elaborated through the comparative analysis of two case studies: the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, a large peasant movement in Brazil, and the Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Organization, an urban social movement from northwest Argentina. Comparison is deployed as an expansive mode of analysis to open up the concept of socioterritorial movement and indicate potential lines of enquiry for further study.

ABSTRACTThis essay unpacks the complex emergence of video indígena, or state‐sponsored small media, at the height of official pluralism in Mexico in the early 1990s. A government video program created in a transitional institutional setting colludes with the indigenous autonomy movement‐‐‐through the work and visions of individual video makers and cultural activists‐‐‐to produce a social form and process that has gained international recognition while confronting particular challenges in indigenous communities.
