International audience In the contemporary Central American poetry, the body has constantly occupied a space of first order. We propose in this paper to analyze how theimages of body are manifested in the poem. This paper does not focus on the study of a particular author, but discusses some significant moments in the representation of the body through a poetic corpus of authors of different generations, and from different countries of the isthmus, from the 1970s to the present. The study aims to analyze three modalities of body treatment: 1) the body as a love/erotic space and subversive; 2) the body as the painful geography of the nation; 3) the world as a body, the body of the world. ; En la poesía centroamericana contemporánea, el cuerpo ha ocupado constantemente un espacio de primer orden.

The main objective of this work is to research the effects of post-Soviet transformation processes in the on-farm irrigation management in rural areas of Kyrgyzstan. This is investigated on the example of the village of Kara-Suu in the Kochkor basin (Naryn Oblast, Central Kyrgyzstan). Historically, this area was characterized by a more or less nomadic pastoral economy. Irrigation agriculture was first introduced by the Soviets in the 1930s. After the independence of Kyrgyzstan, the government began to implement reforms on all institutional levels in order to decentralize the Soviet structures and make the water sector more effective, sustainable, and market-oriented. On the local level the water reform process included the formation of Water User Associations (WUAs) to improve the operation and maintenance of the on-farm irrigation network. These independent and self-organized associations of water users/farmers should be responsible for the joint operation and maintenance of the on-farm irrigation infrastructure; as well as the collection of water fees from its members. The study was conducted in the catchment of the Ukok river (Kochkor District), which is a typical mountain river mainly fed by snow and glacier melt water during the ablation period between May and August. In contrary, during the vegetation period the potential evaporation exceeds precipitation thus an efficient agriculture is only possible with the use of artificial irrigation. During the data collection phase, standardized, narrative and guideline interviews on the subject of agricultural irrigation were carried out with local stakeholders (e. g. murabs, water users/farmers), experts, and staff of the local administration. Furthermore interviews focused on the socio-economic situation of private households in the village as well as on various aspects of the local water management were conducted. A second approach of the research was the mapping of the agricultural irrigation infrastructure of Kara-Suu and the surrounding Ak-Kyya community. An ...
