Redistribución anti-democrática en América Latina y el Caribe

Conversatorio encabezado por Dr. René Ramírez Gallegos

18.04.2024, 10 AM, Salón 06 del Brechtbau

El presente conversatorio abordará la coyuntura democrática de América Latina y el Caribe en el marco de los ciclos largos económicos, políticos y sociales que vive la región y el mundo. Reflexionará geopolíticamente sobre el cambio hegemónico que atraviesa la economía global desde la perspectiva latinoamericana. En este escenario se indagará sobre los momentos que ha vivido la democracia regional circunscrita a los ciclos económicos que ha vivido el capitalismo y su impacto en el bienestar de la población. Coyunturalmente, se defenderá la tesis según la cual América Latina y el Caribe vive un momento destituyente/constituyente en el cual se está disputando entrar en una segunda ola progresista (o, de movimientos nacional-populares) o en la tercera ola neoliberal con características diferentes a las vividas en el siglo XX. En este marco se reflexionará sobre el papel de las ideologías y de las resistencias creativas, en el marco de evaluar si los ciclos de acumulación determinan o no el desempeño social.

El periodismo como corresponsal extranjero en Brasil y el conflicto por la destrucción de la Amazonía

*German and Portuguese version below*

El Centro para Brasil y América Latina los invita a un diálogo con la corresponsal de ARD en Río de Janeiro, Anne Herrberg. La charla abordará la labor del periodismo ejercido por una corresponsal alemana en Brasil, y puntualmente el periodismo investigativo sobre la deforestación de la Amazonia, un fenómeno que envuelve a los países suramericanos, pero que se constituye en una problemática con incidencia global. En su trabajo radiofónico, la autora muestra cómo desde los diferentes actores sociales hay retóricas muy enfrentadas, que van desde la posición del gobierno y de los colonos, quienes justifican el proceso de expansión agrícola (usando conceptos como trabajo, productividad y progreso), hasta la posición de las comunidades que ven como su territorio se va deteriorando y, con él, sus medios de subsistencia. En este sentido, el trabajo radiofónico de Anne Herrberg logra captar voces diversas y, al tiempo, poner en relieve aquellas voces que no cuentan con tanta visibilidad en el debate público.

Diálogo com Anne Herrberg - correspondente da ARD no Rio de Janeiro
O Baden-Württembergisches Brasilien- und Lateinamerika-Zentrum da Universidade de Tübingen convida-o para um diálogo com a com a correspondente da ARD no Rio de Janeiro: a jornalista Anne Herrberg. O evento tem como objetivo focar no trabalho dos correspondentes alemães no Brasil, em particular no jornalismo de investigação sobre o desmatamento da Amazônia: um fenômeno que afeta não só os países sul-americanos, mas que também é um problema global.
Em seu trabalho, na rádio, a autora mostra como os diferentes atores sociais usam uma retórica muito contraditória.  Isto vai desde a posição do governo e dos colonizadores, que justificam o processo de expansão agrícola (usando termos como trabalho, desenvolvimento, produtividade e progresso), até a posição das comunidades indígenas, que observam com preocupação como seu território e, portanto, seu sustento, são destruídos. Anne Herrberg consegue captar diferentes opiniões, enquanto destaca as vozes que muitas vezes não são visíveis (que ficam camufladas) no debate público.

 

Auslandsjournalismus in Brasilien und der Konflikt um die Zerstörung des Regenwalds
Romanistischer Dialog mit der Berufspraxis
mit Anne Herrberg
ARD-Korrespondentin in Rio de Janeiro

Das Brasilien und Lateinamerika Zentrum lädt Sie zu einem Gespräch mit der ARD-Rio de Janeiro-Korrespondentin Anne Herrberg ein. Das Gespräch wird sich auf die Arbeit von deutschen Korrespondent*innen in Brasilien konzentrieren, insbesondere auf den investigativen Journalismus über die Abholzung des Amazonas, ein Phänomen, das zwar südamerikanische Länder betrifft, aber auch ein globales Problem ist. In ihrer Radioarbeit zeigt die Autorin, wie die verschiedenen sozialen Akteure eine sehr widersprüchliche Rhetorik verwenden: Diese reicht von der Position der Regierung und der Kolonisten, die den Prozess der landwirtschaftlichen Expansion rechtfertigen (unter Verwendung von Begriffen wie Arbeit, Entwicklung, Produktivität und Fortschritt), bis hin zur Position der einheimischen Gemeinschaften, die mit Sorge beobachten, wie ihr Territorium, und damit auch ihre Lebensgrundlagen, zerstört werden. Anne Herrberg gelingt es, verschiedene Stimmen einzufangen und gleichzeitig jene Stimmen hervorzuheben, die in der öffentlichen Debatte oft nicht sichtbar sind.

China and/in the Global South: Cultures, Aesthetics and Politics

Research Symposium

Friday 1st July 2022, 08:30-15:30 GMT

University of Nottingham, Dearing Building B40, Jubilee Campus

Registration on Eventbrite

Funded by the Tübingen-Nottingham Networking Fund, this symposium is co-organised by Dr Hongwei Bao and Prof. Dr. Dr. Russell West-Pavlov (University of Tübingen).

Two of the most prominent geopolitical developments in the twenty-first century are the rises of China and the Global South. Together, they shape the world geopolitical map significantly. What is less clear is the complex and often entangled relationship between China and the Global South: is China part of the Global South; if so, in what sense?

With this international conference, the ICGSS doctoral program “Entangled Temporalities in the Global South” will close its cycle of activities by engaging in an interdisciplinary dialogue within the framework of the humanities and social sciences dedicated to studies of the Global South. We start from the understanding that temporalities in the Global South occur in complex forms of interweaving between temporal politics, practices and imaginaries that have their origins in a multiplicity of contexts: the impact of globalization, the longue durée of coloniality and the persistence of indigenous temporal cultures. In this colloquium, we propose to refocus the debate on those temporal regimes that, given their conflictive and toxic character, threaten to decompose and disarticulate subjectivities and communities. These toxic temporalities reveal their destructive effect on diverse fields of social and cultural practices in the form of authoritarianisms, coloniality, experiences of violence, racism and inequality, as well as ecological degradation and other forms of malaise. We would like to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue that discusses how these phenomena develop specific forms of temporality that, over time, can lead to a destructive capacity within social systems and thereby undermine self-determined forms of action, thought, emotion and cultural expressivity.

The aim of the conference is therefore to analyse, via the discussion of case studies and including the contribution of southern epistemologies, the temporalization of structures, dispositifs, imaginaries, materialities or cultural practices. In this way, we intend to address the following questions:

  • How does the toxicity of these temporalities manifest itself at the subjective and collective level?
  • How do these toxic temporalities behave in relation to the temporal regimes that constitute social and cultural practices in the Global South?
  • What are the strategies of resilience and resistance through which subjects and communities confront this temporal toxicity?
