Equal parts educational and just plain silly, the Chilean puppet show makes its first trip ever to the United States to turn the Tiny Desk into a playground.

"Mientras ciertos lugares se perfilan como canteras de extracción, el Norte Global—incluyendo los nortes en los sures— sigue aferrándose a un capitalismo fósil, y al modo de vida imperial que les concede. Sólo que esta vez bajo la benévola etiqueta de lo “verde”"

The gender wealth gap sits at 21% - much higher than the wage gap - so why don't we hear anything about it?

@ignaciapinto.bsky.social of @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social explains why taxing wealth is a feminist issue in a guest blog.

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.

The head of the UK's leading funder of social research has spoken against funding projects on post-growth and degrowth. Our research environment is wedded to an economic system that does harm daily to all human and non-human life. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-r...

10+ years building political friendships and amplifying the struggle for a post-growth society. We're an international collective connecting degrowth to radical transformation—practicing the horizontal governance & care-based economics we believe in. Another world is possible. Let's build together!

"If we want real democracy, we need to extend it to the economy. That means overcoming the capitalist law of value and redirecting production toward social and ecological needs."

Junto a Evelyn Arriagada y América Valenzuela estamos organizando este simposio para el 12° Congreso Chileno de Antropología: "Perspectivas situadas de las transformaciones territoriales en contextos (neo)extractivistas"

Un cuadro con un mensaje de un congreso académico
Enero, 5 al 10 2026
Simposio 13
Perspectivas situadas de las transformaciones territoriales en contextos (neo) extractivistas
Coordinadoras:
Evelyn Arriagada - ekarriagada@gmail.com
Gabriela Cabaña - gabi.cabana@gmail.com
⁠América Valenzuela - avalenzuelar@udla.cl

Simposio 13. Perspectivas situadas de las transformaciones territoriales en contextos (neo) extractivistas

Este simposio tiene como objetivo generar un espacio de diálogo y aprendizaje colectivo, orientado a la comprensión de diversos fenómenos, dinámicas y perspectivas situadas en torno a las transformaciones territoriales en contextos (neo) extractivistas y de transición energética.

Buscamos contribuciones sobre transformaciones territoriales relacionadas con la transición energética, conflictos socioambientales (minería, forestal, pesca), ERNC, seguridad hídrica, emergencia climática y participación social.

Hacemos un llamado a quienes, desde la disciplina, promueven el intercambio de saberes, visibilizan prácticas de investigación activista y/o acompañan procesos de organización comunitaria, otorgando centralidad a las comunidades y las y los actores que elaboran y promueven sus propias categorías de análisis, conceptos y metodologías de investigación-acción.

International institutions were not designed to ensure universal rights. They were designed to maintain the core-periphery hierarchies of the world system. If we want universal rights we have to create new institutions through anti-imperialist and anti-racist struggle.

#Degrowth means refusing to pursue growth under the doctrine of capital. Its goal is not to save a world that does not need saving. Its goal is to save ourselves from capitalism, to become terrestrial once again. youtu.be/596dU6pDEU8?...
