Connecting wide socio-territorial struggles and experiences contributing to the Emerging Political Ecologies from Abya-Yala

Long Abstract

The theoretical and practical paths connecting diverse experiences of Latin American political ecologies find their heritage in the critical thought of Latin American social movements and critical Marxist perspectives. These paths, alongside the political ecologies of Abya Yala—which emerge from peoples in their territories and diverse knowledge matrices and traditions—enable the reimagining of trajectories born from the struggles of socio-territorial movements. This long history of resistance has, in recent decades, witnessed a proliferation of meanings and disputes, involving indigenous and peasant socio-territorial movements, alliances such as the Alliance of Forest Peoples, and various feminisms, including community feminism and different currents of ecofeminism.

This panel welcomes engaged research on theoretical frameworks, field experiences, testimonies, and other contributions. The aim is to discuss emerging political ecologies, not merely about Latin America, but specifically from Abya Yala perspectives, in dialogue with territorial and grassroots research initiatives.

This Panel has 4 pending paper proposals.
