Conscience and Consciousness in a Postrevolutionary Guatemalan Village

 

Revolution is imagined by its practitioners as the inescapable end of the march of historical progress. How do former Guatemalan indigenous revolutionaries reassemble the capacity for working toward the future when counterrevolutionary violence  arrests history’s movement forward?

 

Making Property and Appropriating Nature in Chilean Patagonia

 

Is capitalist nature a single ontological formation? Chilean gauchos use the category of private property to defend their cow- and sheepherding livelihood against competing projects for commodifying Patagonian “nature”, but they ground their claims to property in distinct human-nonhuman relationships from those naturalized in neoliberal capitalism.
