In November 2021, the President of Mexico (2018-2024) declared that the priority megaprojects of the National Development Plan (Maya Train, Isthmus of Tehuantepec Interoceanic Corridor, Dos Bocas Refinery) fall within the realm of national security. Public and private investments in these projects are directed towards southeastern Mexico, covering the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Campeche, Yucatán, and Tabasco. These regions are home to indigenous peoples and communities that hold 45% of Mexico’s total social property. In some cases, these communities are visibly linked to national political organizations that defend land and territory. The decree is considered a state of exception applied to land-territory use, with dual implications. On one hand, it represents the undivided social field monopolized by monetary metrics. On the other hand, it signifies the expansion of a neocolonial condition promoted by the Mexican federal government, which marginalizes the voice of resistance in favor of adopting the capital logic defined by the stratification of the global economy. The methodology involves participatory action research since 2019, collaborative research through the coordination of workshops, caravans, marches, and political-community meetings, promoted in conjunction with assemblies fighting for territorial defense. We anticipate the increased use of such state of exception in response to the intertwined rise of health, environmental, and economic contingencies that drive the economic cycle, coupled with ineffective governmental policies formulated for regular times. In other words, the state of exception is activated to ensure the continuity of capital accumulation driven by the concentration of private property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze several specific forms of filmmaking very related to neoliberalism as an economic, political and cultural system, taking as reference the affective turn to explore this link. For this, it will be considered the different contributions that, from different fields of social sciences, have linked the evolution of capitalism with the conquest of the sphere of affections and emotions, and it will use the methodology of film analysis to verify, in a set of concrete works, the features of that relationship. From this intersection between theoretical proposals and case analysis, the article wants to show an expressive strategy based on the humanization of certain behaviors, through the cinematographic narrative, which normalizes some attitudes and values due to decisions which work on the construction of the story an the aesthetics of the work. This strategy will be verified in three very significant films: The Social Network, Steve Jobs and The Founder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research paper seeks to contribute to the investigation of the conceptual changes that took place in communication studies in Argentina between 1970 and 1990, based on the survey of the writings of three authors linked – more or less formally – to this field of study during that period: Margarita Graziano, Alcira Argumedo and Beatriz Sarlo. The two questions that guided the research were: Did conceptual changes occur in the intellectual productions of these three authors between 1970 and 1990? Why did these conceptual “shifts” occur in the period considered?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective is to propose a practical conceptual scheme to interpret social organizations' economic and ecological implications based on an individualistic or altruistic paradigm. After a literature review and a brief historical analysis of these paradigms, we conclude that complex and balanced organizations have the most remarkable propensity to develop altruistic cooperation exchanges. The implication for contemporary environmental policies is the possibility of complementing market mechanisms with community-based schemes in a favorable context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text arises from the reflections generated during the First Congress of Latin American Communication CIESPAL -- FELFACS, where researchers from 20 countries met to address contemporary media and information practices. The objective was to rethink communication and reinvent social mediation processes in various areas, from information and economic to political and entertainment. Held at the CIESPAL headquarters in Quito, Ecuador, a space with a long history in discussions about critical thinking in the region, the congress proposed a deep reflection on the role of commercial media and its relationship with political power, highlighting the need to rethink journalism as an independent and critical tool..

In this article we analyze how the social violence of organized crime is manifested in schools through the reproduction of a patriarchal order that materializes through processes of school precariousness, the formation of models of tense and dialogic masculinity, as well as daily practices of hierarchization, sexual division of schoolwork and the sexualization of the female body in schools. For this, an ethnographic study was carried out in which the staff of six basic education schools in Michoacán collaborated; Direct and participant observation, informal talks, group, and individual interviews were used. We identify that the patriarchal order established by organized crime in the regions is intertwined with the conditions of dismantling and job insecurity in the basic education sector, so that the necessary circumstances are provided for the reproduction of this order through different violent practices inside schools. This is facilitated by the alliances, silences, complicities, and fear of male school workers, who are attracted or subdued by the model of warrior masculinity that has displaced teacher masculinity. We conclude that within the schools in these contexts the gender device is reproduced according to the conditions of violence and territoriality related to organized crime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we analyze some contemporary socio-territorial processes in the Aysén region, Chilean Patagonia, with special emphasis on the Exploradores Valley. We estimate that those processes can be interpreted as a form of rural and "green" gentrification. Under this category we want to account for a multiplicity of interdependent processes as the displacement of the local population linked to the increase in land value, an explosion in the real estate supply, new patterns of consumption and socio-territorial practices, as well as the emergence of discourses that would position this region as an enclave for conservation and preservation of nature under the slogan "Reserve of Life". From this framework, the study aims to contribute with a critical reading of depoliticized conservation discourses, highlighting the socio-territorial impacts that these renewed processes of "eco-colonization" bring with them, characteristic of a new geography of capital. Methodologically, we propose a mixed platform based on in field observations, semi-structured interviews with key informants, bibliographic analysis and information gathering in the Real Estate Notary.

Agrarian political economy is an intellectual current used as a framework for agrarian and rural studies carried out from a Marxist perspective. Based on a bibliographic review, this article presents the journey of agrarian political economy from its most remote antecedents to some of its main current concerns. In this sense, the article highlights that agrarian political economy has concentrated on studying the problems caused by the structural contradiction of capitalism in agriculture, overcoming the restricted readings that accuse the lack of modernization processes of the backwardness of agrarian production.

The issue of fake news has become a viral concern in social networks due to the dangers it implies for the various social actors, and the solutions proposed are varied, some focus on media education and others on the role of technology using artificial intelligence to detect this event and discriminate it, with the limitation that it is not recognized that this fact is inherent to the capitalist relations of production. From the bibliographic analysis it is clear that the predominant approach is that of the communication sciences. Based on these concerns, the purpose of this article is to offer an evaluation from the point of view of the Political Economy of Fake News, recognizing that its deepest cause is a reflection of the sharpening of the fundamental economic contradiction of this system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last decades, Argentine rurality has changed and, along with it, so have peasants' conditions of subordination in the capitalist system. This article dismisses the false paths to which abstract models of the peasantry as a "concept" lead; our argument is based on detailing the characteristics of the direct producers in the current context in which they live. Through documentary research on agrarian social studies, we compiled a corpus with the main academic and stateproduced contributions referring to similar socioeconomic, political, and cultural issues about the peasantry and we present this as a "first peasant question", focused on the period between 1970 and 2000. Then, we present six theses that cut across the current social experiences of family farmers: social decomposition and exclusion; the eco-territorial turn; the emergence of social movements; re-ethnicization; agroecology and food sovereignty, and statehood. We conclude that these topics have opened a "new question" that points to lines of research with new theoretical and epistemological consensuses for understanding the actually existing Argentine peasantry.

In this article we examine the concept of power to decolonize it and learn from other experiences whose content is distinct from that of domination. In that sense, we are oriented by Zapatista and Latin American progressivism. These experiences are a crack in the wall of capitalist modernity. Both the Zapatista anti-systemic movement and political progressivism take advantage of this rift to open new horizons where power is exercised in a distinct way, for liberation from the bonds of capitalist modernity.

En América Latina existen "islas de modernidad" asociadas a un nuevo paradigma biológico y digital en la explotación de recursos naturales, la producción de servicios y la industria manufacturera, que coexisten con vastos segmentos de la población sumidos en la precariedad, la pobreza, el estancamiento y la exclusión social. Esta dualidad estructural refleja una creciente brecha entre un segmento moderno de la sociedad que imita patrones de comportamiento de los países desarrollados, y otro que ha quedado atrás y en el que predominan la informalidad laboral, las carencias materiales básicas y una creciente inseguridad ciudadana. La falta de una teoría del desarrollo adecuada, que examine la fragilidad institucional y regulatoria, la captura de los recursos del Estado por grandes grupos corporativos y la falta de políticas a largo plazo reflejan esta brecha interna. A su vez, se profundiza la brecha externa con los países del sudeste asiático. En este artículo se plantea la necesidad de un nuevo pacto social para lograr el crecimiento y mejorar la distribución de los ingresos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a decolonial feminist geopolitics of Venezuelan migration to Colombia, with Venezuelans fleeing the socialist Bolivarian Revolution and then facing discrimination and violence upon settling in capitalist Colombia amid its failing peace process context. Conflicts over migration and nationality permeate our global order of sovereign nation-states, both in north-south migrations and across the global south, while the feminisation and racialisation of migrants divides the subaltern class and facilitates capitalist exploitation. However, this paper elucidates migrants’ inter-national solidarities and grassroots peace struggles. Community organisers along the Colombia-Venezuela border – the women’s empowerment organisation Tejedores de Paz and youth leadership foundation Horizonte de Juventud – unite impoverished internally-displaced Colombians and Venezuelan immigrants to create resistance territories against xenophobia, patriarchy, and poverty. Illustrating the utility of the methodology of decolonial feminist geopolitics, I trace the reconfiguration of the spirit of sociopolitical revolution in South America through migrants’ emergent form of feminist non-state socialism.

This paper critically addresses the recent irruption of intersectionality in the psychoanalytic field. By establishing a parallelism between Marx and Freud, it shows their intersectional sensibility. However, it also points out how both start from the intersection and then explain it via a determining structure: a structure presented by Marx as capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal. At the same time, in Freud, it is revealed as overdetermined by each subject's story and oedipal configuration. It is observed how this structural level tends to go unnoticed in Max Belkin's work and other current proposals of intersectional psychoanalysis. Alternatively, the article evokes Mexican Santiago Ramírez's old psychoanalysis and reflects on how structure could produce the intersection. This reflection allows us to reconsider the colonial aspect of the Freudian heritage in Latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Capitalism in the 21st century has been expanded globally through production, and above all, through consumption, digitization, and the proliferation of companies and organizations; analyzing these trends is essential to understand organizational specificities in national and regional contexts. To comprehend this expansion and its specific characteristics, this paper presents the conceptual proposal of the Capitalist Seduction Mode. The paper is organized into three sections: 1) an analysis of the processes of "hooking" or engagement of platform capitalism through networks of companies and organizations; 2) a reflection on the overflow of the managerial system into society; 3) the conceptualization of the smartphone as an expression of Googlism and as a device of social domination. Finally, in the last section, the conclusions of the paper are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Mexico, the State policy in favor of mining extractive -based on the idea that the exploitation of the subsoil will generate sufficient resources to achieve well-being and progress- has caused irreparable environmental damage to the mining populations, generating a paradox of abundance at the local level. This situation is analyzed here in economic, social, and environmental terms in the mining community of Valdecañas, in Fresnillo, Zacatecas; corroborating the environmental impact of mining, the scarce resources it generates for the economy, and the risk it has on the well-being and health of people.

In September 2015, the 2030 Agenda was presented, which establishes the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that all countries and stakeholders must meet by the year 2030. It is an apparently transformative and inclusive proposal; however, interpreting its essence is of notable importance for underdeveloped societies, since it reveals that the agenda favors capital management. This paper addresses, from the critique of political economy, the essence of the «new» agenda. Although it recognizes that the SDGs can constitute a step forward in overcoming many of the problems inherent to under development, it states that the SDG respond to power relations corresponding to the logic of reproduction of capital on an international scale. Fulfillment of the SDGs must have as basis the distinction between essence and appearance, only then can it truly contribute to the development of nations, and especially those that advocate the socialist alternative to the logic of capital.

This article aims to outline sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky's views the views of sociologist Gilles Lipovetsky on the so-called «second phase of cultural capitalism», which occurs. The historical moment between the 1950s and the 1980s and is characterized by the spread of mass consumption and the expansion of cultural industries. The antecedents of this stage, the «first phase of cultural capitalism» date back to 1850 and last until the Second World War. We will use this starting point, the end of the first phase of cultural capitalism, to review the events that gave rise to the spread and democratization of consumption. We will also review the main postulates of the «third phase of cultural capitalism», which is still in force today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
