A partir de la obra El porteador de Marlow/Canción negra sin color de César Mba Abogo, pretendo identificar episodios de resistencias en donde el océano y los desplazamientos son permanentes configuradores de subjetividades para personas en vulnerabilidad social que han nacido en determinados lugares del Sur Global, eternizando su condición de cuerpo periférico allí por donde se desplace. Emplearé como metodología la literatura comparada en tanto habilita la posibilidad de abordar intertextos desde otras disciplinas, como la historia, la antropología, la geografía, a la vez que se entrelazan diversos autores provenientes del continente africano.

This article illuminates the variegated possibilities arising from gentrification by analyzing it through the lens of emplacement. It asks how gentrification can be operationalized and managed in ways that intersect with but also supersede conventional modalities of gentrification-induced displacement, including opportunities for discordant spaces and peoples to articulate meaningful relationships with the city. Analyzing the microregeneration of Nantou Village, an urban village in Shenzhen, China, I show how state-sanctioned attempts to achieve sociospatial integration between village and city ultimately co-opt village and urban residents to coproduce gentrification-induced displacement but also provide an institutional platform for the articulation of alternative collective and individual forms of emplacement. Read from an emplacement perspective, microregeneration appears to be a half-victory. It provides some residents an opportunity to grow symbiotically with the gentrifying city and represents a conjunctural moment in Shenzhen and China's evolving approach to urban redevelopment. An emplacement perspective complicates the picture of perpetrators and victims in the process of urban redevelopment, contributing to a more pragmatic approach to researching and theorizing gentrification in urban geography.

En este artículo se busca analizar la representación de la experiencia urbana en el poemario 5 metros de poemas (1927) de Carlos Oquendo de Amat. En particular, se reflexiona sobre el cuestionamiento que produce el acto de desplazamiento del sujeto poético por la ciudad. El objetivo es comprender cómo se representa el impacto de la experiencia moderna a nivel artístico e ideológico mediante las metáforas alusivas a este acto. Para ello, primero se explorará el posicionamiento ideológico de la vanguardia andina y sus vínculos con la reflexión sobre la modernidad. Asimismo, se complementará el análisis de los poemas desde lo planteado sobre el desplazamiento por Michel de Certeau para comprender cómo el sujeto poético de estos poemas presenta una apelación crítica sobre la experiencia urbana. Se concluye que, mediante el recorrido, el sujeto poético es posicionado como un infante que confronta los cambios de la urbe y, desde esta mirada, se critica la eliminación de la individualidad como producto de la modernidad.

En este trabajo se estudia, desde una perspectiva macrosintáctica, un fenómeno denominado de distintas maneras a través de los años: relativo desplazado, relativa compleja, configuración relativa envolvente o extraposición del relacionante. Si bien la configuración ha sido estudiada desde la microsintaxis, se puede considerar que una perspectiva que entienda el fenómeno como estructuración vinculada con la macoestructura de determinadas secuencias textuales —específicamente, informativas y argumentativas— puede permitir una caracterización más acabada del fenómeno. Como se muestra en el análisis que toma en consideración los aportes de avances concretos de estudios de macrosintaxis en español, en muchos casos la introducción de las estructuras mencionadas y la consecuente presencia de verbos puente en determinados enunciados supone una toma de distancia respecto de lo referido o una falta de compromiso en relación con la verdad expuesta en la segunda proposición subordinada. En otro grupo de ejemplos, la toma de distancia actúa, además, como una puesta en duda —o negación— de lo mencionado, de manera tal que la configuración opera sobre el posible valor argumentativo de la información.

This article analyzes the displacement of students in an elementary school after the implementation of the Full-Time Schools Program in Mexico and how this change was experienced by teachers. It is an intrinsic case study, with a qualitative approach, through participant observation and interviews with members of the school community. The results show at the local level the cycle of gentrification observed in the case study: the reinforcement of the program that improved the conditions of the school and increased its prestige in the municipality, a greater demand for admission, in which the sectors with better socioeconomic conditions mobilized various strategies to secure a place, and the ousting of the original student body. Teachers tend to normalize the displacement by pointing out the practical advantages in their daily work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the role that material belongings play in displacement processes. Following the evacuation of the housing complex Hannibal II in Dortmund (Germany), the displacement of its 753 tenants, and the conflicts that ensued over the belongings they were forced to leave behind, we ask how the governance of material belongings shapes processes and experiences of displacement. Through an approach that brings in dialogue the cultural and legal significance of material belongings, we focus on the practices governing relationships between subjects, things, and place in displacement processes. Drawing on interviews with tenants, the legal framework governing property and possessions, and the proceedings around the tenants' claims regarding their belongings, the findings disentangle a dual function of material belongings in displacement processes: First, they consider how belongings and their legal governance complicate the temporalities of displacement; second, they examine how the negotiation of the cultural significance of things has an impact on tenants' subjectivities. The paper concludes that in displacement processes, tenants' precarious claims to ownership over their stuff are, at the same time, voicing claims to social and spatial belonging that oppose broader domestic injustices.

Las transformaciones sociodemográficas asociadas a la gentrificación en algunos barrios de ciudades del sur de Europa están adoptando nuevos rasgos, impulsados por la migración internacional cualificada, la elevada transitoriedad de la nueva población residente y la expansión del turismo urbano. Barcelona, como foco turístico y centro de atracción para la economía del conocimiento, es un ejemplo destacado de estos procesos en los que se entrelazan diversas dinámicas. En este contexto emerge el caso de El Raval, un barrio en el que la sombra de la gentrificación sobrevuela desde hace más de dos décadas, aunque los indicadores sociodemográficos no han acabado de corroborar este proceso de forma inequívoca y general. En este trabajo profundizamos en las dinámicas sociodemográficas más recientes de El Raval a través de los movimientos residenciales y migratorios. Los resultados constatan que, a mediados de la década de 2010, se produjo un importante punto de inflexión en la transformación sociodemográfica del barrio de la mano de la creciente llegada de población extranjera con perfiles educativos y profesionales elevados y un fuerte carácter transitorio. Además, gran parte de la población desplazada también es de origen extranjero y se ve abocada a experimentar trayectorias residenciales especialmente precarias e inestables. La marcha de los grupos de bajos ingresos y su sustitución por profesionales cualificados de origen extranjero está convirtiendo El Raval en un caso emblemático de los procesos de gentrificación transnacional de las ciudades globales del sur de Europa.

The objective of the following research was to identify the presence of resilience as a reaction mechanism to face forced displacement in three women, victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. For the analysis of the information, a qualitative methodology was used. The data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, to get to know the ways in which three women, victims of forced displacement, faced this situation. The obtained testimonies brought to light the abilities that some people in conditions of displacement gain and use to overcome their circumstances of arrival to a new place, starting with accepting family ruptures, facing previously unlived work situations, finding the ways to start over and develop new skills that empower them in their new social environment. That means dedicating themselves to start life projects that allow them to overcome their now precarious living conditions. It was identified that the projects that were developed by them, even though they were related to their survival, they also go beyond and allow a glimpse to both their will to overcome the situation and the confidence in their own abilities.

Based on ethnographic description, context analysis and a review of the evolution of the conflict, we examine the case of the township of San José del Peñón in the municipality of San Juan Nepomuceno, and show how humanitarian interventions have weakened community organization by generating political and economic dependence that accentuates the breakdown of territorial, political and social cohesion in the midst of systematic violence against the population. These entities start from a conception of victim that is consistent with their processes and therefore their humanitarian intervention, instead of generating processes of social empowerment and political subjectivation, end up favoring relations of power, conflict and submission that negatively affect the coexistence of these communities in their territories. A phenomenological approach to reality allows us a descriptive approach to the practices and reactions of communities to the intervention processes of external agents. In the conclusions we propose the need to rethink the role of humanitarian assistance in order to recognize and strengthen community organizations, their trajectory, their territorial agendas and their autonomy as an accompaniment route that allows them to recognize themselves autonomously as political, individual and collective subjects and, especially, as protagonists of their history and their future.

Background: Persons displaced by conflict often consider returning to their area of origin. Lack of reliable information about conditions in the area of origin makes this decision more difficult. Displaced persons address this by seeking information from other sources, but must then assess the credibility of these sources. Objective: This study examines the role of symptoms of posttraumatic stress as a moderator of how information from a trustworthy source influences return intentions among displaced persons. Method: We test our hypotheses with a factorial survey experiment, drawing participants (N = 822) from residents of internally displaced person (IDP) camps in northeastern Nigeria. Results: Information from a more trustworthy source led to increased return intentions. However, the more participants reported symptoms of posttraumatic stress, the smaller the effect source trustworthiness had on their return intentions. Conclusions: Findings highlight how traumatic experiences during wartime can undermine the effectiveness of the provision of information from a trustworthy source about good conditions in displaced persons' areas of origin, and suggest that interventions addressing posttraumatic stress could have downstream effects on safe, durable, and dignified return. Examines the impact of posttraumatic stress on the decision-making process of internally displaced persons in Nigeria. Credible information from trustworthy sources can positively influence return intentions, but this effect is diminished by symptoms of posttraumatic stress. Highlights the importance of addressing both information needs and mental health concerns to support displaced persons in making informed decisions about their future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: People forced to leave their homes, such as refugees and internally displaced persons, are exposed to various stressors during their forced displacement, putting them at risk for mental disorders. Objective: To summarize evidence on the efficacy of psychosocial interventions aiming to promote mental health and/or to prevent mental symptoms by fostering transdiagnostic skills in forcibly displaced persons of all ages. Method: Four databases and reference lists were searched for randomized controlled trials on interventions in this population on 11 March 2022. Thirty-six studies were eligible, 32 studies (comprising 5299 participants) were included in random-effects multilevel meta-analyses examining the effects of interventions on mental symptoms and positive mental health (e.g. wellbeing) as well as moderators to account for heterogeneity. OSF Preregistration-ID: 10.17605/OSF.IO/XPMU3 Results: Our search resulted in 32 eligible studies, with 10 reporting on children/adolescents and 27 on adult populations. There was no evidence for favourable intervention effects in children/adolescents, with 44.4% of the effect sizes pointing to potentially negative effects yet remaining non-significant. For adult populations, our meta-analyses showed a close-to-significant favourable effect for mental symptoms, M(SMD) = 0.33, 95% CI [–0.03, 0.69], which was significant when analyses were limited to high-quality studies and larger for clinical compared to non-clinical populations. No effects emerged for positive mental health. Heterogeneity was considerable and could not be explained by various moderators (e.g. type of control, duration, setting, theoretical basis). Certainty of evidence was very low across all outcomes limiting the generalizability of our findings. Conclusion: The present review provides at most weak evidence for an effect favouring transdiagnostic psychosocial interventions over control conditions for adult populations but not for children and adolescents. Future research should combine the imperative of humanitarian aid in face of major crises with studying the diverse needs of forcibly displaced persons to improve and tailor future interventions. This review is the first to examine the efficacy of transdiagnostic interventions for mental health promotion and prevention of mental disorders in forcibly displaced persons of all ages. Overall, we found no favourable effect of transdiagnostic interventions in both children/adolescents and adults. Excluding studies at high risk of bias, there was weak evidence for a small favourable effect in adults, but not in children and adolescents. Thus, so far, there is weak evidence for transdiagnostic interventions in forcibly displaced persons. Research efforts need to match care needs: While most people live and need care in low-income countries, the majority of research has been conducted in high-income countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La gentrificación es un proceso socioespacial que expulsa a las clases trabajadoras de un área urbana. En los últimos años, el proceso se ha extendido por todo el mundo y se ha solapado con el desarrollo turístico, contribuyendo a la expulsión de la población de bajos ingresos de las mismas zonas. Esta dinámica se ha intensificado en los espacios centrales, acelerando también la desaparición de los usos productivos. Con una perspectiva de clase, este artículo explora las interacciones entre el desplazamiento laboral y el residencial en la vida de los trabajadores de la industria artesana, tradicionalmente vinculada al centro histórico de la ciudad de Sevilla. El artículo concluye que ambos procesos siguen caminos sutilmente distintos pero que se retroalimentan.

En este artículo indagamos en el papel que tiene la literatura de autores de origen migrante y desplazados en el debate social y la lucha ideológica en torno a cuestiones como el desplazamiento, marcadas por la clase y el género. Para ello trataremos de adaptar la propuesta interdisciplinar de “análisis crítico del discurso” de van Dijk al discurso literario. Incidiremos en el concepto de ideología, nos detendremos en algunos rasgos distintivos de la literatura como espacio discursivo particular, pondremos en diálogo herramientas del análisis crítico del discurso con aquellas elaboradas desde la retórica y la teoría literaria y ejemplificaremos el desarrollo con algunas referencias de la literatura desplazada. Así, comprobaremos el aporte que la literatura del desplazamiento puede realizar en el estudio sobre los discursos sobre migración, con una perspectiva de denuncia, memoria y reivindicación normalmente amortiguada en el discurso dominante.

En este artículo interesa explorar algunas características significativas de las ocupaciones de inmuebles durante los años 90 en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, centralizándome en las modalidades de expulsión de los sectores populares que allí habitaban y el set de ilegalidades que les era atribuido. Retomaré además, para ese fin, una etnografía realizada con ocupantes de casas del barrio del Abasto durante una década (1993-2003), a lo largo de la cual fui testigo privilegiada del proceso de renovación sociourbano acontecido en ese territorio. He de argumentar que la estigmatización de distintos sectores populares urbanos corre en paralelo a las sensibilidades predominantes en una determinada coyuntura histórica.

Este artículo presenta un análisis de las condiciones socioeconómicas que caracterizan a la población restituida de la emblemática hacienda Santa Paula, la cual perteneció al Clan Castaño, cabeza visible de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC). El estudio se estructuró en dos apartados: el primero, mediante una síntesis histórica, exhibe el contexto del conflicto armado interno en el departamento de Córdoba (Colombia), donde el accionar de los Grupos Armados Ilegales (GAI), irrumpen en el orden social, cometiendo todo tipo de vejámenes contra las comunidades; estas se ven obligadas a salir de sus predios, por hechos de despojo y desplazamiento. El segundo apartado describe el proceso que contempla el retorno legal de los pobladores a sus predios, con base a lo sustentado en la Ley 1448 de 2011. En Santa Paula, luego del posfallo, los restituidos se han adherido a entidades estatales para capacitarse en distintos proyectos socioeconómicos. Por tanto, el desarrollo de la investigación se llevó a cabo a partir de una escrutadora mirada a la información oficial de la Unidad de Restitución de Tierras (URT) Seccional Córdoba, a través de la revisión y análisis de sentencias, líneas de tiempo y cartografía social.

La movilidad, los procesos y acciones de desplazamiento de las personas, tienen grandes consecuencias en el ámbito social, económico, ambiental o urbanístico. Los medios de transporte motorizado que se utilizan para la movilidad de las personas generan riesgos para la salud poblacional, a través de emisiones contaminantes, ruido, gases de efecto invernadero o accidentes. Además, influyen en el grado de actividad física y del sedentarismo. En conjunto, afectan la salud mental y física, y causan el desarrollo de enfermedades. Es por todo ello que las personas y la ciudadanía debe poder elegir formas sostenibles y saludables de movilidad, para sí y para el conjunto de la población. Con este fin desarrollamos esta “pirámide de la movilidad saludable y sostenible” cuyo fin es aportar pautas sobre cómo mejorar este comportamiento en los desplazamientos diarios, para una mejora de la salud ambiental. Para ello ordena y gradúa gráficamente las formas de movilidad en dos grandes objetivos, mejorar la sostenibilidad y la salud. Además, se señalan específicamente factores trascendentes para la mejora en ambos ejes.

In the course of the Syrian Civil War, prominent former Syrian Regime politicians, human rights observers, and foreign observers have accused the Syrian Regime of committing genocide against the country's Sunni majority. This article views these accusations as part of a wider politicization of genocide, and instead progresses beyond them to outline the case for an alternative "framing" of large‐scale atrocities committed against civilians. It accordingly proposes strategic displacement, or the deliberate large‐scale uprooting and dispersal of established communities for tactical and strategic purposes, as a preferable and more sustainable framework of engagement and analysis, and seeks to more clearly distinguish it from "ethnic cleansing" with the aim of demonstrating and underlining its unique contribution to the analysis and understanding of violent conflict. This has two benefits—first, it provides a different basis for conceptual and theoretical engagement that makes it possible to view mass atrocity as a tactical innovation in response to conflict exigencies; and second, it draws attention to internal displacement, an aspect of the conflict that has been repeatedly overlooked by international observers.

Sometimes heralded as the first ever new urbanist development, Starkville, Mississippi's Cotton District neighborhood stands out as a relatively dense, walkable, and mixed-use neighborhood in the otherwise car-centric landscapes of the rural south. Together with the neighborhood's colorful buildings reminiscent of the grand homes of the antebellum South, these elements obscure the fact that the neighborhood as it exists today is the result of a federally funded urban renewal project that razed much of the adjacent Black neighborhood of Needmore and opened up the present-day Cotton District as a space for new investment. In excavating the details of these different elements of the Cotton District's history, our central conceit is that the Cotton District represents what we call a "nostalgic neo-plantationist pastiche" produced through the material and symbolic displacement of Blackness and its replacement with both material and symbolic whiteness. By conceptualizing this landscape as constituted fundamentally by white nostalgia for a mythical, bygone era of plantation capitalism, and instantiated through a bricolage of architectural and design styles, we seek to draw attention to the precise ways that this landscape actively (re)constructs the past, rather than simply representing it. At the same time, the case of the Cotton District offers an opportunity to reconsider received wisdom in urban design and planning concerning the historic and contemporary linkages between urban renewal and new urbanism, and racial inequality and urban planning more generally.

In the analysis that I propose for Borderlands / La frontera. The New Mestiza I undertake a reading of Gloria Anzaldúa’s philosophical thought mediated by Hannah Arendt’s question in The Promise of Politics as to whether politics still makes sense. The categories that I recover from Arendt’s political theory to demonstrate that Anzaldúa’s writing is also ontological are thought, action, freedom, and necessity. With these four categories, I draw a symbolic and territorial space to defer the allegory of aporia in the Chicana writer border thinking. Analysis in which I deploy the political ontology of the woman who claims to be a frontier woman. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Durante los últimos cuarenta años y con la llegada del siglo XXI se acelera la reconfiguración de la Ciudad de México. El desplazamiento de las fronteras urbanas que la dividen social y simbólicamente requiere fuerza especial en su centro histórico, donde de manera paulatina desaparece lo que antes fue y se van incorporando las geografías de la acumulación de capital que, implacablemente, transforman los espacios de residencia, producción, consumo y goce, para que sean ahora del disfrute de las clases acomodadas de la ciudad, desplazando a amplios sectores populares y resignificando profundamente las prácticas y sentidos de su ocupación. Así, el libro brinda una perspectiva original del desvanecimiento de lo popular provocado por la gentrificación en el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México.

El desplazamiento forzado en Colombia ha sido una realidad compleja que ha generado la vulneración sistemática de los derechos de niños, niñas y adolescentes. Este estudio, enmarcado en el paradigma cualitativo, analizó el currículo vivenciado a partir de las narrativas construidas con 14 estudiantes desplazadas por el conflicto armado, pertenecientes a una institución educativa de Medellín (Colombia). Los métodos de recolección empleados fueron entrevistas semi-estructuradas, diarios personales y fotografías. Se presentan las inter-secciones que se establecen con la escuela, entendida como escenario de y para la construcción de paz, concluyendo en la pertinencia de las propuestas educativas flexibles. Este análisis, hilado desde una perspectiva de género, visibiliza otros modos de existir en la escuela, contribuyendo a la resignificación del currículo para la permanencia de las estudiantes que fueron desplazadas.

Advancements in the field of reintroduction biology are needed, but understanding of how to effectively conduct translocations, particularly with snakes, is lacking. We conducted a systematic review of snake translocation studies to identify potential tactics for reducing postrelease effects. We included studies on intentional, human‐mediated, wild–wild, or captive–wild translocations to any location, regardless of motive or number of snakes translocated. Only studies that presented results for at least 1 of 4 outcomes (movement behavior, site fidelity, survival, or population establishment) were included. We systematically searched 4 databases for published studies and used 5 methods to search the gray literature. Our search and screening criteria yielded 121 data sources, representing 130 translocation cases. We quantified the association between 15 translocation tactics and short‐term translocation outcomes by calculating odds ratios and used forest plots to display results. Snake translocations involved 47 species (from mainly 2 families), and most were motivated by research, were monitored for at least 6 months, occurred in North America, and took place from the 1990s onward. The odds of a positive snake translocation outcome were highest with release of captive reared or juvenile snakes, release of social groups together, delayed release, provision of environmental enrichment or social housing before release, or minimization of distance translocated. The odds of a positive outcome were lowest when snakes were released early in their active season. Our results do not demonstrate causation, but outcomes of snake translocation were associated with 8 tactics (4 of which were strongly correlated). In addition to targeted comparative studies, we recommend practitioners consider the possible influence of these tactics when planning snake translocations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La presente investigación se enmarca en el campo de las ciencias sociales y tiene como objetivo primordial identificar las afectaciones subjetivas y las respectivas prácticas de afrontamiento y resistencia desarrolladas por un grupo de mujeres indígenas makaguán de Fortul, Arauca, víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia. Esta investigación se desarrolló a través de un lente teórico interseccional. En otras palabras, se analizó historias de vida atravesadas por hechos violentos en Colombia, desde una perspectiva de género, etnicidad y clase social. En términos metodológicos y epistémicos, esta investigación se construyó a partir de un abordaje hermenéutico/cualitativo y decolonial, de modo que se privilegió las voces y discursos de aquellas mujeres víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia. Uno de los principales hallazgos de la investigación hizo referencia al deseo de reintegración social a su resguardo de origen; territorio del cual fueron expulsadas hace una década. En efecto, producto del desplazamiento, las mujeres makaguán y sus familias han sufrido afectaciones materiales, subjetivas y simbólicas hasta el presente. Pese a que en 2018 la comunidad ganó una tutela interpuesta ante el Ministerio de Interior, ellas aún no se han reintegrado a su resguardo de origen. Se han realizado varios intentos por restituir sus derechos, sin embargo, no se ha logrado llegar a un consenso claro entre las autoridades del resguardo Cusay la Colorada en Fortul, Arauca, las mujeres desplazadas y la institucionalidad local (Alcaldía y Gobernación). Actualmente se están realizando acercamientos entre las partes involucradas, con el objetivo de restituir principios humanos violados, como los relacionados con el derecho a la vida, territorio, identidad cultural, autonomía y participación comunitaria. El artículo concluye con algunas sugerencias y recomendaciones para la efectiva implementación de la política pública de víctimas de la violencia en Fortul, con base en un enfoque de género, diferencial y acorde a los planes de vida de la comunidad makaguán.

Este ensayo explora la relación entre espacio y desplazamiento en las narrativas de dos escritoras: Anna Lidia Vega Serova y Maité Hernández-Lorenzo. Particularmente en los títulos Ánima Fatua e Imperio doméstico de la primera y Las memorias vacías de Soledad Bañuelos de la segunda. Ambas autoras cubanas comparten una narrativa que pone en el centro al cuerpo de las mujeres que registran desplazamientos por ciudades de la órbita soviética –pertenecientes a Rusia y Polonia– y luego, al cuerpo atrapado o confinado en la ciudad de La Habana durante el llamado Período Especial (1991-1995).

El artículo analiza los efectos diferenciales del género en los casos de desalojo forzado del hogar y de desplazamiento hacia la periferia experimentados por mujeres habitantes de la Ciudad de México. El desalojo es uno de los problemas menos abordados en los estudios urbanos, a pesar de tener una importancia fundamental para discutir las cuestiones de ciudad y vivienda desde una perspectiva feminista. Hipotetizamos que se trata de una expulsión que afecta no solo a las mujeres, sino que a las mujeres racializadas. Reuniendo los conceptos de desalojo, movilidad e inmovilidad, “racial banishment”, gentrificación, entre otros y, través de un método de investigación cualitativo que reconstruye los relatos de desalojo y desplazamiento recogidos mediante entrevistas con mujeres de la “Red de Desalojados de la Ciudad de México”, damos textura emocional y encarnada a estos procesos urbanos abstractos. En este contexto, los hallazgos muestran cómo las cuestiones étnico-raciales cruzan interseccionalmente y tienen efectos de género específicos. Asimismo, ubicamos cómo el desplazamiento forzado puede ser entendido desde una perspectiva de movilidad e inmovilidad, donde aspectos como la accesibilidad a la ciudad y la inseguridad son muy sensibles para las mujeres. Finalmente, abordamos cómo entender la experiencia del desalojo desde una perspectiva emocional.

En este artículo se realiza una revisión bibliográfica con la intención de comprender cómo el conflicto armado colombiano ha recrudecido el desplazamiento forzado de los campesinos hacia las ciudades; y cómo este y las políticas estatales han generado disminución en el área sembrada y en la productividad de alimentos, teniendo en cuenta las luchas agrarias de los años 20 y 30, el período de la Época de la Violencia (1948-1958), el recrudecimiento de la violencia insurgente y contrainsurgente de los años 70 y 80, la apertura económica dirigida desde el Estado a partir de 1991 hasta el tiempo presente.

Residential displacement as a result of climate change impacts will manifest on varied temporal and spatial scales affecting both coastal and inland communities. As coastal residents contend with more frequent shocks and stress from sea-level rise, many will eventually need to abandon their homes and property. Inland communities consisting of socioeconomically vulnerable populations with less exposure to climate change impacts will presumably be at risk for residential displacement. This study uses three counties in Florida—Duval, Pinellas, and Miami-Dade—as cases, and employs publicly available data. The well-known principal components analysis generated representative components of housing, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics known to predispose neighborhoods to the risk of secondary residential displacement. An additive model fit to the individual principal components analysis retained six components for Duval and Miami-Dade counties and seven for Pinellas county. The subsequent displacement risk categorization captures interrelationships between neighborhood socioeconomic and biophysical risk and allows for the identification of areas with higher secondary displacement risks. High potential second-order displacement was found in 30 percent, 25 percent, and 20 percent of the block groups in Duval, Miami-Dade, and Pinellas counties, respectively. This article serves as a framework to operationalize factors that predispose a neighborhood to climate gentrification driven by sea-level rise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the displacement of riverine people to the settlements of Novo Engenho Velho and Riacho Azul, in the municipality of Porto Velho-Ro, due to the construction of the Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant, on the Madeira River. The research was quantitative/descriptive with some qualitative information, based on document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. Three representatives of the plant and 28 families from the settlements comprised the sample. The results show a view of the plant representatives associated with the objectives of the infrastructure development policy in the country. Based on support for new housing and new productive activities, the managers consider that they provided conditions for the displaced riverine people to maintain their family, neighborhood, and socioeconomic structures, although they are aware of the necessary changes in this process. In the perception of the old riverside dwellers, it is a matter of facing the disruption of an organized way of life on the banks of the river, with the consequences of displacement to other places, in which the old family, social and economic conditions do not reproduce and the new conditions present several weaknesses, in particular the prohibitions on fishing, the poor quality of land for agriculture and the poor functioning of health, education and sanitation equipment.

Kosovo y Bosnia Herzegovina son países completamente diferentes y al mismo tiempo semejantes en lo tocante a la situación de las personas retornadas tras los conflictos armados y adquieren relevancia por el gran número de personas que fueron desplazadas, por la dimensión étnica de los desplazamientos y por­que los cambios políticos producidos tras los conflictos son de tal calado que reconfiguran el mapa de Europa. Es un lugar común afirmar que la intercul­turalidad social y política es sinónimo de tolerancia y paz social, especialmente en periodos de posguerra, en los que se hace imprescindible hablar de reconci­liación para garantizar que es posible una vuelta a la normalidad. Este artícu­lo trata de cuestionar, al menos como verdad autoevidente y generalizable, la bondad sin reservas de la interculturalidad impuesta inmediatamente tras un conflicto violento. Se debe dar, en estos contextos, mayor importancia a las et­nias que han quedado en los márgenes de la exclusión. En Bosnia Herzegovina y Kosovo, el colapso del comunismo, los cambios políticos y los conflictos han tenido enormes consecuencias socioeconómicas en las etnias romaníes.

La imagen de la portada de la edición especial de pediatría hace parte de una experiencia de voluntariado social que realizo como pediatra en formación (CUR) en la Fundación Posada de Moisés, una institución sin ánimo de lucro, creada en la ciudad de Medellín hace 21 años, con el objetivo social de prestar servicios de desarrollo integral a niñas, niños y adolescentes víctimas del desplazamiento forzado en Colombia, sin distinción de raza, procedencia o situación económica, generando impacto en más de 200 niños desde su creación, abarcando componentes académicos, psicológicos, alimentarios, pero el más importante la integración social por medio del amor y apoyo constante.

La migración es un fenómeno que se vive latente en los municipios de Antioquia-Colombia, desde mediados del siglo XX y hasta estos días, el cual ha afectado significativamente los procesos educativos y el desarrollo humano integral. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la relación entre los procesos migratorios y la educación, con base en visiones teóricas y estudios científicos relacionados con el fenómeno migratorio a nivel nacional e internacional. La metodología estuvo centrada en el paradigma cualitativo, con base en un enfoque hermenéutico donde se privilegia un estudio documental como estrategia de investigación. Los resultados muestran que las razones para generar procesos migratorios están relacionadas con la búsqueda de oportunidades educativas y laborales, así como con imaginarios de construir un mejor futuro en el lugar de llegada. Se concluye que, el desplazamiento y la migración, son fenómenos que están interrelacionados, ambos se dan a razón de la búsqueda de una mejor vida, sin embargo, el desplazamiento alude al éxodo interno e involuntario, mientras que la migración se relaciona más con los movimientos internacionales legales e ilegales.
