Voice, as an expression of individuality, serves as a powerful political tool, embodying identity and agency in communication with the surrounding environment. However, it is also vulnerable to suppression by dominant forces. Drawing on Adriana Cavarero's political philosophy of voice and Jacques Rancière's concept of the distribution of the sensible, this article explores the erosion of territorial voice as a precursor to the dispossession inherent in extractivist projects. These projects target lands inhabited by deeply rooted communities whose existence is intertwined with their autopoietic relationship to their territories. This study is based on participant observation and in-depth interviews conducted between 2023 and 2024 with members of communities affected by coal mining in La Guajira. These include the displaced peoples of Roche, Chancleta, Patilla, and Tabaco, as well as the community of Cañaverales, which inhabits land designated for a new coal mine. The expansion of coal extractivism in southern La Guajira demonstrates how the dispossession of territorial voice is a defining feature of totalitarian extractivist regimes. Such regimes suppress individuality expressed through voice, imposing homogenization, obscurity, and impoverishment on human experience. Extractivism systematically ignores territorial voices, enforcing its dominance by silencing them. Genuine engagement with the unique voices of rooted communities requires a sensitive openness--a readiness to be affected by and resonate with their sounds, stories, and singular expressions of historical becoming. This article offers an original contribution by framing voice as a metaphysical category that captures the intimate bond between a people and their territory. It also sheds light on the metaphysical struggles waged against the relentless advance of extractivism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective/Context: With a modernizing discourse and business partners, former Peruvian president Alan García led the sale of indigenous Amazonian lands to oil companies. The Awajun and Wampis peoples responded, alongside national and international allies, by demanding the application of ILO Convention 169 through various mobilizations known as "el Baguazo" (2007-2009). This study analyzes, from a deliberative perspective, how the visibility of the arguments and cultural representations of indigenous peoples influenced their self-representation in the public sphere. Methodology: Based on the review of journalistic sources, government reports, statements from national and international organizations, and literature on social conflict and indigenous peoples, the chronology and discourses of the conflict were reconstructed. Conclusions: The mobilized indigenous communities self-represented, expressing their demands and cultural identities (cosmogonies, notions of territory, and development), opposing the sale of their lands. In this way, public spaces emerged, breaking into the national imagination, where sectors of the Peruvian citizenship recognized them for the first time. A network of allies reproduced and supported the indigenous arguments, lending them credibility to those who were unfamiliar with them. However, it was a partial advance as it remained limited to the cultural sphere without translating into the political realm, which is evident in the obtained Law of Prior Consultation (2011), which disregarded their sovereignty. Originality: While the literature on socioenvironmental conflicts focuses on actors and strategies, this article emphasizes the arguments of indigenous peoples, their deliberation, dissemination, and power of persuasion in the face of the rest of the Peruvian citizenry.

The present article examines the right of prior, free and informed consultation of indigenous peoples in the light of International Human Rights Law, in order to verify the possibility of Brazil's international liability for violating this right. To this end, it uses as an object of study the case of the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant. It was observed, specifically, the understandings adopted by the Brazilian Courts and the Inter-American System of Human Rights in relation to the case of the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant. As a main methodology, the investigation is legal-comprehensive with a qualitative approach, based on bibliographical and documentary research. The results showed that Brazil ignores the international debate about this subject, to the extent that it has not ensured mechanisms guaranteeing the right to consultation of indigenous peoples, which enables its liability to the Inter-American System of Human Rights.

This article addresses the mobilization of indigenous peoples and traditional communities for the recognition of their right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) provided for in ILO Convention 169, as a strategy of resistance and strengthening of their social organization in defense of their traditionally occupied territories. It takes as reference observations in the field, during visits and consultations carried out in five traditional communities, and testimonies of leaders of these territories, in the state of Pará. Sixty-one community autonomous protocols approved in Brazil, between 2014 and 2022, were also consulted, available at the Observatory of Autonomous Protocols. It is concluded that the appropriation of the FPIC has strengthened organization and resistance in indigenous territories and have become potential instruments for the exercise of local grassroots democracy.

In Colombia, there has been an attempt to impose a restriction on traditional methods of replanting, a measure that undermines food sovereignty and the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples and especially peasant communities. Through a reflective exercise and inductive reasoning, this problem is addressed in order to propose, as a result, some guidelines to achieve the involvement of peasants through prior consultation and to guarantee the violated rights.

The article presents a documentary ethnographic analysis of the multiple conflicts involving the Munduruku people and the federal government, from the attempt to implement the São Luiz do Tapajós Hydroelectric Power Plant, emphasizing the clash regarding the situational application of the right to prior, free and informed consultation. Based on the indigenous history that opposes the jabuti and the tapir, I seek to demonstrate the conflicting discursivities, resistances and interests in dispute in the implementation of this project, as well as to explain how the agents involved mobilize different meanings for the legal device that is the right to prior consultation.

The present work seeks to report the experiences of the extension project in socioenvironmental education, conducted by the Research Group "Convenção 169 e o Direito à Consulta Prévia, Livre e Informada" of the Liga Verde Cabangem in partnership with the Pará Higher School of Law. The group's activities were carried out between the years 2018 and 2020 and were focused on promoting debates, conversation circles and academic forums related to the right to consultation. The project was justified by the need to promote knowledge on the topic, especially due to the recurring violations of human and fundamental rights of traditional peoples and communities in the State of Pará. The meetings and events held contributed significantly to the construction of narratives and theoretical bases for all participants, ending their activities with the panel on the rights of traditional peoples and communities at the 41st National Congress of Labor Advocacy.

This article reflects around the ethnically differentiated approach contained within the peace agreement between the Colombian State and the former guerrilla group FARC. We aim to identify the judicial effects of this notion and in which way its introduction in the peace agreement has brought greater protection for the indigenous people and other ethnic minorities. Given that the agreement recognizes that the judicial tool for the development of peace in the lands and territories of the ethnic minorities is the prior consultation, we also perform a preliminary analysis of the effects of this law proposal. We are currently discussing in the Legislative Power what this consultation might bring for the implementation of the agreement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Maicá Lake, located in the municipality of Santarém (PA), is home to several remaining quilombo communities, which will be affected by the implementation of the Grain Port Terminal in the vicinity of their traditional territories. Aiming to be heard in this process of expanding the existing port structure in Santarém, the 12 communities associated with the Federation of Quilombola Organizations of Santarém (Foqs), joined to build a prior consultation protocol, effective in 2016. From interviews conducted with the presidents of 6 of these associated quilombola communities, we sought to investigate how the process of building the prior consultation protocol has contributed to the struggle for recognition of quilombo remnant communities in the region, increasing their visibility in the public space and strengthening the dialogue between them and in the face of external actors. The technique used to work the data obtained from the interviews was the analysis through the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) of Lefréve et al. (2005). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Mexico as well as in other Latin American countries, prior consultation has become, in the last two decades, a mechanism of citizen participation that aims to allow the incidence of historically marginalized indigenous groups to make decisions about their own socioeconomic development. In this article we analyze the (in)communication networks deployed during the process of consulting Maya communities in a municipality of Campeche on the genetically modified soybean that is being carried out (2017) by a Mexican government agency responsible for biosecurity. Our analysis will focus on the communication possibilities that the members of these communities establish with each other and with other actors, among them the activists of civil society organizations and officials of different government agencies, as well as the misunderstandings that arise in this process. We are particularly interested in describing the language games that lead to misunderstandings in order to highlight the historical relations of power and inequality that largely determine the outcome and results of prior consultation in Mexico.
