INTRODUCTION In many ways, 2011 was a relatively quiet year for Latin America. While the political and economic instability of Europe deepened further, economic growth in Latin America continued more or less unhampered and there were no major political upheavals. The surprise and excitement caused by the emer-gence of the so-called ‘pink tide’ regimes in countries like Bolivia and Ecuador subsided. There is no doubt that these governments have major challenges ahead of them, but their existence has now become part of mainstream politics. Both inside and outside Latin America, they are looked upon as an accepted and acceptable part of the Latin American politics in the 21st century. Even de unstable situation in Venezuela with its president simultaneously struggling against cancer and trying to maintain his political power did not seem to cause extreme wor-ries. Most countries, with Brazil and Chile in the lead, are busy consolidating the gains of steady economic growth. Although there were no major changes in the economy and formal politics, in the realm of societal developments some notice-able developments did take place, some posi-tive and some, unfortunately, negative. Per-haps the most hopeful signs came from Co-lombia where a solution to part of the violent conflict from which the country has long been suffering now seems a realistic possi-bility for the first time in many years. It is not yet time to celebrate, but for this conflict any positive sign is good news. Unfortunate-ly for Mexico and Central America, the news is far from good. The unfettered violence of criminal organizations and drug-related gangs pose a clear and present danger for the stability of these societies. It is undermining the trust in democratic politics and creating problematic social, psychological and politi-cal legacies that will be felt for many years to come. As long as international answers to this narco-violence are not found, it remains very difficult to envision any regional solu-tions. In a more general sense, it is clear that Latin America is changing rapidly. Younger

INTRODUCCIÓN En muchos sentidos, el año 2011 ha sido un año tranquilo para América Latina. Mientras se profundizaba la inestabilidad política y econó-mica en Europa, el crecimiento económico en América Latina continuó más o menos sin es-torbos y no hubo trastornos políticos significati-vos. Amainaron la sorpresa y la excitación oca-sionadas por la emergencia de los llamados regímenes de la ‘marea rosa’ en países como Bolivia y Ecuador. No hay ninguna duda de que estos gobiernos deben hacer frente a importan-tes retos, pero su existencia se ha convertido ahora en parte de la política tradicional. Tanto dentro como fuera de América Latina son vistos como una parte aceptada y aceptable de la polí-tica latinoamericana del siglo 21. Incluso la inestable situación en Venezuela, con su presi-dente luchando simultáneamente contra el cáncer y tratando de mantener su poder políti-co, no parece provocar preocupaciones extre-mas. La mayoría de los países, con Brasil y Chi-le a la cabeza, están bastante ocupados en con-solidar las ganancias de un firme crecimiento económico. Mientras que en la economía y en la política formal no cambiaron muchas cosas, en el reino de los desarrollos sociales ocurrieron algunos desarrollos destacables, algunos positivos y otros desafortunadamente negativos. Quizás los signos más auspiciosos provengan de Colom-bia, donde por primera vez en muchos años parece existir una posibilidad realista de solu-cionar una parte del violento conflicto que vive el país. No es momento de celebrar, pero para este conflicto cualquier indicio positivo es una buena noticia. Desgraciadamente, para México y América Central, las noticias están lejos de ser buenas. La desenfrenada violencia de organiza-ciones criminales y de bandas relacionadas con las drogas representa un claro y presente peli-gro para la estabilidad de esas sociedades. La violencia socava la confianza en la política de-mocrática y está creando legados socio-psicológicos y políticos que se dejarán sentir todavía muchos años. Mientras no se puedan hallar respuestas internacionales, es muy difícil imaginar una solución para esta narco-violencia. En un sentido más general, está claro que

generations are increasingly involved in (in-ternational) migration, and many parts of Latin America have become transnational societies. This has had both positive and negative consequences, but in any case, it has broadened their social and cultural hori-zons. The process of urbanization in Latin America also seems to be changing, leading to an increasing importance of secondary cities. At the same time, the continuing de-mand for raw materials on the world market has led to the incorporation of regions that until recently were considered marginal. Apart from the new economic opportunities this has created, it also led to new conflicts. Local inhabitants are demanding a share in the profits generated by the new projects and asking for greater control, especially in terms of the social and environmental costs in-volved in them. Observers and academics are striving to find answers to these multiple processes of change. CEDLA has done its best to keep track of these new and exciting processes. Its re-search programme aims from a variety of disciplines and viewpoints to provide solid answers to the questions raised by them. It is clear that only solid empirical research will allow us to understand the past and present developments of individual countries and the region in general, and will generate useful answers and predictions as to the near future of Latin America. This is leading to new re-search and publications, and also to increas-ing participation of CEDLA in the public de-bate. As a think-tank on Latin America for Dutch society, CEDLA staff has participated in numerous interviews and forums in the pub-lic media and the organization of round ta-bles, debates and lectures. Through its active participation in a number of international projects, such as ENGOV, Gomiam and the Guyana project with Cordaid and WWF, the institute was also active in Latin America, organizing and participating in numerous research and policy-oriented activities in different Latin American countries. At the same time, the CEDLA staff contin-ued their investigative activities. On the basis of a number of seminars and debates and

América Latina está cambiando rápidamente. Las generaciones más jóvenes participan cre-cientemente en la migración (internacional) y muchos lugares de América Latina se han con-vertido en sociedades transnacionales. Esto ha tenido consecuencias tanto positivas como ne-gativas, pero, en cualquier caso, ha ampliado sus horizontes sociales y culturales. El proceso de urbanización en América Latina también parece estar cambiando, ocasionando una cre-ciente importancia de las ciudades secundarias. Al mismo tiempo, la continuada demanda de materias primas en el mercado mundial ha conducido a la incorporación de regiones que hasta hace poco eran consideradas marginales. Aparte de las nuevas oportunidades económicas que ha creado, también provocó nuevos conflic-tos. Los habitantes locales demandan una parte de las ganancias generadas por los nuevos pro-yectos y piden mayor control, especialmente en términos de los costes sociales y medioambien-tales implicados. Observadores y académicos están luchando por encontrar respuestas a estos múltiples pro-cesos de cambio. CEDLA ha hecho todo lo que ha podido para seguir estos nuevos y excitantes procesos. Su programa de investigación, a partir de una variedad de disciplinas y puntos de vista, busca ofrecer respuestas sólidas a las preguntas que plantean. Está claro que sólo la investiga-ción empírica nos permitirá entender el pasado y los desarrollos presentes de países individua-les y la región en general, y la que generará respuestas y predicciones útiles en cuanto al futuro cercano de América Latina. Esto está conduciendo a nuevas investigaciones y publi-caciones, pero también a una creciente partici-pación de CEDLA en el debate público. Como laboratorio ideológico sobre América Latina para la sociedad holandesa, el personal de CEDLA ha participado en numerosas interven-ciones en los medios públicos y en la organiza-ción de mesas redondas, debates y lecturas. Mediante su participación activa en varios pro-yectos internacionales, tales como ENGOV, Gomiam y el proyecto Guyana con Cordaid y WWF, el centro también estuvo activo en Amé-rica Latina, organizando y participando en nu-merosas investigaciones y actividades orienta-das hacia las políticas públicas en diferentes


due to new insights, the CEDLA research pro-gramme that started in 2010 was adjusted. As a consequence its title was changed slightly to: ‘Natural and Cultural Resource Use in Contemporary Latin America’. The thinking behind this adjustment is that the political economy of new extractivism, which is the core of the first research line, should be mirrored by a focus on the ‘cultural re-sources’ that is crucial for the agency of Latin American populations, especially in urban environments. This adjustment has led to greater collaboration between the two re-search lines and provoked interesting and inspiring debates, both within CEDLA and with colleagues from outside. It also gener-ated two grant proposals that were not eligi-ble for funding in 2011; however, they have been re-submitted for 2012. The year 2011 was memorable for another significant reason. As a clear recognition of the increasing importance of the BRIC coun-tries, and especially of Brazil as a consolidat-ed emerging power, the University of Am-sterdam with financial aid from CEDLA creat-ed a new extraordinary Chair for Brazilian Studies. The Chair is hosted by the Depart-ment of Human Geography, Planning and International Development (GPIO) of the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at the University of Amsterdam. The principal activities of the Chair (one day a week or 0,2 fte) are carried out at CEDLA. The aim of the Chair is to develop specific knowledge on Brazilian history, society, development and politics through research, teaching and advi-sory work. Brazil will be studied from a comparative perspective, situating it within the relevant regional (Latin American) and global context. The first holder of the Chair is Dr Kees Koonings, associate professor at Utrecht University. Kees Koonings is a well-known expert in Brazilian studies who has worked and published on issues of the politi-cal economy and security in Brazil. CEDLA is very pleased with this new Chair as it is a reflection of the growing importance of Bra-zil and a clear sign of the productive and stimulating collaboration with the University of Amsterdam. The Chair will also be a facili-

países de América Latina. Al mismo tiempo, el personal de CEDLA pro-siguió sus actividades de investigación. Sobre la base de varios seminarios y debates y debido a nuevas interpretaciones, el programa de inves-tigación de CEDLA, que empezó en 2010, fue adaptado. Como consecuencia de ello, recibió un nombre ligeramente diferente: ‘Uso de los recursos naturales y culturales en la América Latina contemporánea’. El telón de fondo de la adaptación fue la idea de que la economía polí-tica de la nueva industria extractiva, que es el centro de esta primera línea de investigación, podría reflejarse en una concentración en los ‘recursos culturales’ que es crucial para la agen-cia de poblaciones latinoamericanas, especial-mente en ambientes urbanos. Este cambio ha conducido a una mayor colaboración entre las dos líneas de investigación y ha provocado in-teresantes e inspiradores debates, tanto dentro de CEDLA y con colegas, como fuera. También ha inspirado dos propuestas de beca, que no fueron financiadas en 2011, pero que han sido presentadas nuevamente en 2012. El año 2011 fue memorable por otra razón. Como claro reconocimiento a la creciente im-portancia de BRICs y especialmente de Brasil como una potencia emergente consolidada, la Universidad de Amsterdam, con la ayuda eco-nómica de CEDLA, creó una nueva cátedra extra-ordinaria para Estudios Brasileños. La cátedra será albergada por el Departamento de Geogra-fía Humana, Planificación y Desarrollo Interna-cional (GPIO) de la Facultad de Ciencias Socia-les y de la Conducta de la Universidad de Amsterdam. Las principales actividades de la cátedra (un día a la semana) se realizan en CEDLA. El objetivo de la cátedra es generar co-nocimiento específico sobre la historia, socie-dad, desarrollo y política brasileños a través de la investigación, la enseñanza y la asesoría. Brasil será estudiado desde una perspectiva comparativa, incluyendo la integración del país en los contextos regional (América Latina) y global pertinentes. El primer titular de la cáte-dra será el Dr. Kees Koonings, profesor asocia-do de la Universidad de Utrecht. Kees Koonings es un bien conocido experto en estudios brasi-leños y ha trabajado y publicado sobre temas de economía política y seguridad en Brasil. En

tating factor in the increasing collaboration between CEDLA and various Brazilian univer-sities; this is already visible in the increasing number of Brazilian PhD students connected to CEDLA, for example, through the new NUFFIC-CAPES project. In terms of doctoral research, 2011 was also a productive year. Together with the University of Leiden, a new PhD project was started on urban reconstruction in Colombia. At the same time, three PhD candidates con-nected in different ways to CEDLA successful-ly defended their thesis. Mieke Lopez Cardozo and Marten Brienen investigated educational ideologies in Bolivia during the present-day Evo Morales government and in the past century respectively. Martha Luz Machado Caicedo defended her thesis on the culture and memory of the Chocó population on the Pacific coast of Colombia. Her thesis was published in Colombia, and she received the prestigious Colombian award Fundación Alejandro Escobar for her work. In regard to education, CEDLA was notified by NVAO, the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders that on the basis of the successful evaluation of Novem-ber 2010, its Masters programme had defini-tively been accredited. CEDLA was, of course, very pleased with this news because it con-firms the quality of the programme that in the past years has become an important ele-ment of the Institute’s educational and re-search activities. Following the recommenda-tions of the evaluation committee, the CMP started in September 2011 as an English lan-guage Master of Arts programme. In 2011 the two-year Twinning programme that CEDLA initiated in cooperation with the Insti-tute for International Relations at the Anton de Kom University was finalized. The pro-gramme involved a specialized training in the field of Latin American studies for a small group of selected Surinamese stu-dents. The programme was highly appreciat-ed by the students and it is hoped that a new round of Twinning may be repeated. Finally, CEDLA’s academic journal, The European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, was digitised for inclu-

CEDLA estamos felices con esta nueva cátedra, tanto porque refleja la creciente importancia de Brasil como porque es un claro indicio de la productiva y estimulante colaboración con la Universidad de Ámsterdam. Esta cátedra tam-bién será un factor estimulante en la creciente colaboración entre CEDLA y universidades brasi-leñas, la que se aprecia mejor en el creciente número de estudiantes doctorales brasileños relacionados con CEDLA, por ejemplo a través del nuevo proyecto de NUFFIC-CAPES. En términos de investigación doctoral, el año 2011 también fue un año productivo. Con la Universidad de Leiden, empezó un nuevo pro-yecto doctoral sobre la reconstrucción urbana de Colombia. Al mismo tiempo, tres candidatos al doctorado, relacionados de diferentes modos con CEDLA, defendieron con éxito sus tesis. Mieke López Cardozo y Marten Brienen inves-tigaron las ideologías de la educación en Bolivia durante el actual gobierno de Evo Morales y en el siglo pasado respectivamente. Martha Luz Machado Caicedo defendió su tesis sobre la cultura y la memoria de la población del Chocó en la costa Pacífico de Colombia. Su tesis fue publicada en Colombia y recibió el prestigioso premio colombiano de la Fundación Alejandro Escobar por su trabajo. En términos de educación, CEDLA fue notifi-cado por la NVAO, la Organización de Acredita-ción de los Países Bajos y Flandes, de que sobre la base de la exitosa evaluación de noviembre de 2010, su Maestría ha sido definitivamente acre-ditada. En CEDLA estuvimos, por supuesto, feli-ces con esta noticia, porque confirma la calidad del programa que en los últimos años se ha convertido en un importante elemento de las actividades de investigación y docencia del cen-tro. Aplicando las recomendaciones del comité de evaluación, el CMP empezó en septiembre de 2011 como un programa MA en inglés. En 2011 finalizó el programa Twinning de dos años que CEDLA inició en cooperación con el Instituto de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Anton de Kom. El programa impli-caba una formación especializada en el campo de los estudios latinoamericanos para un pe-queño y selecto grupo de estudiantes de Suri-nam. El programa fue altamente apreciado por los estudiantes y se espera que se pueda repetir

At the same time and after lengthy and intensive discussions, the first steps were set to make ERLACS an open access journal which will be freely available online. To maintain the important exchange relations with our Latin American sister in-stitutions, CEDLA will continue to make a printed version of the journal to send to all its contacts.

Esperamos que esta decisión aumente substantivamente el círculo de lectores de la revista. Al mismo tiempo y después de prolon-gadas e intensas conversaciones se dieron los primeros pasos para convertirla en una revista de acceso abierto que estará disponible en la red, gratuitamente.

RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2009-2013

Natural and Cultural Resource Use in Contemporary Latin America

In 2010 the CEDLA staff began working on the new research programme, ‘Natu-ral and Cultural Resource Use in Contemporary Latin America’. It is organized around two research lines and its full text is available on the CEDLA website. In 2011, after an internal evaluation, changes were made to the text of the second research line. The members of the two research lines have joined efforts to de-velop combined research projects and programmes, some of which aim at gen-erating external funds.

Research Line 1: In 2011, Fábio de Castro carried out a fieldwork in Tomé-Acu, in Brazil to as-sess the expansion of palm cultivation in the region as part of the national bio-diesel programme. He has interviewed several stakeholders and attended local meetings. This information will serve as basis for a more detailed analysis of formal and informal practices of land use change in response to different in-centives for palm cultivation in the region. In addition, Fábio has continued his research on protected areas at the national and regional levels. At the national level, he has carried out an assessment of different protected areas and ethnic communities in Brazil and compared them with private settlements for peas-ants and agribusiness. At the regional level, he has assessed the implementa-tion of agro-extractive reserves in the Lower Amazon floodplain communities. The outcome of these analyses were given in: three papers presented in inter-national conferences, one lecture at the University of Brasilia, a consultancy report for WWF, two manuscripts submitted for publication, and one article published on a worldwide database for best practices on policies promoting so-cial inclusion. In addition to an academic audience, Fábio has also reached out to a more general audience through one interview and one opinion article pub-lished in the Radio Nederland Wereldomroep Brazil. Along with his main re-search, Fábio has maintained research collaborations with colleagues in Brazil at the Sustainable Development Centre (CDS), University of Brasilia, on the ENGOV project; at the Centre for Environmental Studies (NEPAM), University of Campinas, on a research project on environmental governance on the Brazil-ian southern coast; and with colleagues at the Centre for Advanced Amazonian Studies (NAEA), University of Pará, on natural resource use in the Amazon. He has contributed on the conceptual framework paper for ENGOV coordinated by CDS, and has co-authored one research proposal coordinated by NAEA and CEDLA. The proposal was approved and he participated the project kick-off meeting in Belem. Finally, he has pursued collaboration with an NGO by co-

authoring one training proposal submitted to Oxfam (GROW programme) with the NGO Both ENDS, which unfortunately was not granted. In the course of 2011 Pitou van Dijck signed a contract with Routledge-Earthscan for the publication of his book The Impact of the IIRSA Road Infrastructure Pro-gramme on Amazonia. The book aims at integrating the socio-economic and en-vironmental dimensions of the overall impact of roads on potentially wide corri-dors along the roads. It focuses specifically on the methodology of socio-economic and environmental assessment studies, the so-called SEAs. Such stud-ies are made as a precondition for financing infrastructure in the context of the IIRSA programme. Decision on publication was delayed for over seven months because of a merger process between Routledge and Earthscan. According to planning, the book will be released by the very end of 2012. During 2011 Pitou focused his research on the finalization of the Cordaid and WWF sponsored programme in Suriname, dealing with the potential im-pacts of plans to construct a road to Brazil and to build dams, divert rivers, and build hydro-energy plants. In cooperation with the Institute for Environmental Studies at the VU University Amsterdam, data resulting from the studies were used to construct a set of GIS maps, to analyse the potential impacts of planned infrastructure on biodiversity, transport costs/time, accessibility of territory, and potential deforestation and land-use conversion. Many map layers were constructed of natural resource availability and exploitation, concession rights, population locations, and biodiversity. Modelling was organized in cooperation with the Institute for Environmental Studies at the VU University and Object Vision, a research unit at the VU University Amsterdam. Moreover, on the basis of an investigation among the local population in 20 villages in the interior (n=538), organized in 2010, a strategic action plan was developed in 2012 reflecting the population’s preferences regarding infrastruc-ture and its perceived consequences. In November, a seminar was organized at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname in Paramaribo, with presentations by several researchers that partici-pated in the project. Over 50 persons participated in the seminar, particularly researchers, scholars, consultants, representatives of firms and NGOs, and some policy makers. In the meantime, Cordaid and WWF have indicated their willingness to finance follow up activities and research in 2012. A first publication of the results of the inquiry among the local population was released by the Journal for Suriname studies, OSO, in October 2011. A se-lection of outcomes of the Cordaid and WWF sponsored project related to the impacts of the planned road is presented in one of the twelve chapters of the book on IIRSA, to be released by the end of 2012. The methodology applied in the project has been explained at WWF in Washington DC and at IUCN, Amsterdam.


For a non-academic audience the research results have been published in a popular manner in a special dossier, distributed with a monthly magazine in Suriname, and put on a DVD, together with an instruction film how to use the GIS maps, a ‘road movie’ showing the infrastructure plans, and some trailers to attract attention. The movie has been shown on television stations, and the dos-sier with DVD has been distributed widely (over 4000 copies). For Barbara Hogenboom, 2011 was a year of travel, research and study, and writing, all relating in one way or the other to her overarching research theme: contemporary changes in the politics of natural resource extraction in Latin America. This thematic umbrella covers three interconnected research topics: 1) National and regional policies and politics on mining and hydrocarbons; 2) The global setting of extractivist activities in the region, especially the new role of China as well as Corporate Responsibility trends; 3) Local / national and formal / informal governance arrangements on mineral resources. Related to the first topic, Barbara Hogenboom took the initiative for a special issue on ‘The New Politics of Mineral Extraction in Latin America’ (based mainly on contributions from the panel she organized in 2010 at the NALACS conference in Groningen), for which she wrote the introductory article. The special issue includes six articles with case-studies on Guatemala, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil, and will be published in the Journal of Developing Societies (Vol-ume 28, Issue 2, 2012). Through invitations for research presentations and her involvement in vari-ous collaborative projects, Barbara Hogenboom paid visits to China, Norway, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil. While each meeting resulted in useful contacts and exchanges of information and views, the trips to China (Nanjing), Ecuador (Quito) and Brazil (Belém) were particularly fruitful in terms of research. The workshop in China (related to a project proposal coordinated by the Radboud University on China and global systems for the extraction of non-renewable resources) was organized by the School of Business Administration of the Nan-jing University of Finance and Economics. Next to several academic presenta-tions, there were presentations by the China Development Bank and the EXIM Bank, and two Chinese companies were visited: East China Mineral Exploration (mining) and SINOPEC (petrochemical industry). These Chinese banks and companies are rapidly expanding their Latin American relations and opera-tions, and are influencing the resource extraction politics and practices in vari-ous parts of the region. In Quito, participation in the conference ‘Nuevas Hegemonías Globales ¿Viejos Problemas?’, organized at FLACSO by the Fundación Rosa Luxemburg and Oilwatch with FLACSO, allowed for a rapid overview of a variety of critical academic and activist views regarding neo-extractivism and contemporary (alternatives to) development. She gave a press conference and was interviewed on radio. Personal visits to the Andina Univer-sity (UASB-SQ), FLACSO and the Ministry of Non-Renewable Natural Re-


sources were helpful for a better understanding of Ecuador’s policies on min-ing and oil extraction, and the conflicts they have entailed. Finally, at the NAEA-UFPA in Belém, there was the kick-off meeting of the collaborative project of CEDLA and NAEA-UFPA on ‘Formal and informal practices of natural resource use and management in the Amazon’, funded by the Programme NUFFIC-CAPES. In this intensive and productive meeting, a start was made with re-search exchange and plans, among others, on corporate responsibility and local governance of the rapidly growing mining sector of Pará. As coordinator of the ENGOV project, Barbara Hogenboom has increasingly been following the political and academic debates on the use and politics of natural resource use in Latin America, and how this connects to global trans-formations. Apart from the role of China, the role of Europe and The Nether-lands are also relevant since foreign policies and transnational production chains appear to have far-reaching cross-boundary effects, and for Latin Ameri-ca as well. Barbara Hogenboom gave several presentations and wrote some short pieces on these topics.

Research Line 2: The second research line deals with different forms of cultural resource use patterns and understands the agency and pursuits of individuals, groups and networks as simultaneously incorporating and imposing global reconfigura-tions. It focuses on the re-knitting of social fabric, the reshaping of meaning, and the emergence of identities that occur in the context of everyday globaliza-tion. Four tendencies can be recognized. First, the neoliberal reforms have led to both a restructuring of labour markets and the increase of the costs of basic needs. Where poverty expanded and possibilities to make a living at home de-creased, large flows of labour migration to the US and Europe started up, and this initiated the inflow of remittances. Second, migration, poverty and changing livelihood possibilities have made the reconstruction and recomposition of fami-lies, households and social networks urgent as well as the way social life is orga-nized. Third, because of intensive contacts with Latin American and non-Latin American outsiders through migration, tourism, the Internet and the traditional media, there has been an increasingly clear movement away from traditional and locally-bound identities, organizations and networks. Fourth, the way indi-viduals deal with these transformations is not gender neutral. Based on gender notions and practices, women and men develop different ways of dealing with their daily challenges. People are urgently reformulating their sense of belong-ing, thereby mining old and new, local, national and global cultural resources. The different ways to draw models of behaviour and designing patterns of living together from the wellspring of local customs, national traditions, and emerging global ways of life is the focus of this research line. Culture is the product of the people present at a certain place and moment, produced with the resources in their surroundings: information from next of kin, friends, com-


munity members, visitors, migrants, information from emigrants, journals, magazines, radio, film, television, as well as the old material world and the new. As information, cultural resources are vulnerable but resilient material and non-material artefacts that reflect patterns of behaviour, practices, tradi-tions, beliefs and thought representing historic and contemporary human life ways. According to recent insights, artefacts are not just material objects but they are simultaneously material and ideal or conceptual. The corpus of arte-facts include physical remains of humans, just as any materials manufactured or modified by people, but also narratives, life-histories, communication struc-tures; objects, concepts and stories that have meaning to people in historical and contemporary communities, but also artefacts left behind by past commu-nities. Manufactured cultural resources include tools, images, buildings, con-centrations of structures, and manipulated landscapes. The context is the rela-tionship of artefacts to each other and the surrounding environment in which cultural resources are maintained and exploited. Researchers depend on context to understand the significance of a cultural resource. Cultural memory develops through the elaboration of complex arte-facts of remembering, associated with historically new forms of artefact-mediated experience. In an urbanizing world, though not exclusively, this con-text will lean towards the urban. Beginning with the twenty-first century, the majority of the population in all Latin American countries is now urban. Today, almost eighty per cent of the Latin American population lives in cities and met-ropolitan areas. Although metropolitan cities with multi-million populations still showed an accelerated growth in the 1980s and 1990s, current urban stud-ies mention that a considerable number of small and medium-sized cities in Latin America have high growth rates and that further urbanization of the con-tinent is not expected to take place in large metropolitan areas, but in those smaller cities. Currently, the largest share of the population (37 per cent) lives in urban areas with less than 500,000 inhabitants. Local manifestations of glob-al development appear in terms of inequality, lifestyles, cultures and identity formation, problems of social cohesion and social conflict, economic opportuni-ty and survival strategies. The everyday struggle to improve livelihoods, fight poverty or adapt to urban lifestyle have engendered new meanings to social life. True, cities are thoroughly modern places, including working schedules accord-ing to daily fixed time schedules and agendas, opportunities for women to work outside the house and for children to go to school, and better access to health care. Cities also include office towers, cell phone technology, satellite television, computers, Internet shops, and video camcorders. But the urban poor live in circumstances of social exclusion, performing full-time or part-time semi-skilled, unskilled, or domestic labour. They are engaged in petty trading or arti-san crafts, remaining unemployed or succumbing to criminal activities. Their housing is poor and usually includes sharing bedrooms with other family members. Nevertheless, they are not submissive victims. Their activities consti-


tute a local agency of social groups, categories and institutions that are actively pursuing their culturally constituted ‘projects’ rather than passively reacting, just in order to survive or improve their social, political and economic conditions.

Christien Klaufus collaborated with Michiel Baud (applicant), Griet Steel (IOB Antwerp University) and Johan Leman (IMMRC Leuven University, co-applicant) in the development of the project ‘Traces of Belonging: Migrants’ material imprints on public urban space’. The project addresses the material culture of migrants in urban public space. It analyses the tangible presence of migrants in public space as medium and outcome of the interaction between human beings and their material environment. The public space is the ‘contact zone’ of translocal interconnectedness. Processes of self-identification and feel-ing ‘at home’ in multiple places are interpreted in terms of identity construc-tion, appropriation and representations of belonging. Photographic and map-ping techniques are chosen to elicit the presence of migrants in public space through the material residues of their public encounters, complemented by ex-tensive observations and in-depth interviews. Within that project Klaufus’ study explores the material imprints of low-skilled foreign migrants and Argenti-neans in Buenos Aires. The synthesis addresses how narratives of belonging, shaped by migrants’ representations in public space, influence their sense of belonging in the cities they reside and work in, contributing to theories of be-longing and translocality in material culture studies. The proposal was submit-ted to NWO in 2011 but unfortunately it did not receive funding. Christien Klaufus also participated in the NWO proposal ‘¡Basta Ya! and No Further! En-coding Film, Television and the Performing Arts to Simulate Post-conflict So-cial Realities’, by Arij Ouweneel (applicant). The third research proposal she submitted was written with G. Steel (IOB Antwerp). This project, called ‘Remit-tances; Return migration; Socio-spatial development in the context of regional internationalization’ has been accepted and will be carried out within the pro-gramme of the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR) entitled ‘International Migration and Local Development’, to be executed from 2012 to 2014. In the project ‘Changing Social Landscapes in Medium-sized Cities,’ Chris-tien Klaufus conducted fieldwork in Huancayo (Peru) and Cuenca (Ecuador) from 21 February to 22 March. She studied urban sprawl and the investment of migrant remittances in housing. In Huancayo she established contacts with the NGO Inmigra. In Cuenca she established contacts with the research centre CESPLA (University of Cuenca), which resulted in her participation in the in-ternational VLIR project (see above). Her preliminary findings were used in the article ‘Arquitectura de remesas : ‘Demonstration effect’ in Latin American popular architecture’, Etnofoor 23(1), 9-28. Christien organized several international academic activities. At CEDLA she prepared the seminar ‘Mobility and Urbanization’ on 28 January, where the relationship between mobility (transnational migration, tourism, international-ization of real estate markets, urban transportation) and contemporary urbani-zation processes was explored. Based on the panel at the LASA conference in


2010, this session aimed at preparing the papers for publication. On 18 Febru-ary she addressed a keynote speech at the conference ‘Informality: Re-viewing Latin American Cities’, organized by CRASSH at Cambridge University. The title of her lecture was ‘Agency versus structure in the production of urban space: Contemporary forms of symbolic mobility’. The lecture has been submit-ted to a volume edited by Felipe Hernández and Peter Kellett. As board mem-ber of NALACS, Christien was involved in the (financial) organization of the annual NALACS conference. The conference, entitled ‘Contested Mobility’ was organized together with Leiden University, CEDLA and IOB and took place in Leiden on 13 and 14 October.

Arij Ouweneel submitted a proposal in the ‘Subsidieronde Vrije Competitive Geesteswetenschappen’ (Subsidy Round Free Competitive Human Sciences), entitled ‘¡Basta Ya! and No Further! Encoding Film, Television and the Per-forming Arts to Simulate Post-conflict Social Realities’ (PR-11-37). The project entailed a synthesis about the function of works of fiction as simulations of a new future following a time of violent conflicts. The fictional works under study would not have been specific elaborations of individual minds but have encod-ed the worries and considerations of specific groups, on specific moments. They are consciously intended to serve as simulators for social change. The programme entailed a synthesis, consisting of an introduction, five chapters discussing the result of the research, and an interpretative conclusion. This in-cluded the following projects: ‘Micro Level: Encoding Films by Local Partici-pants – Lima, Peru,’ by L. Haase; ‘Meso Level: Encoding Theater by Former Gang Members – Matagalpa, Nicaragua,’ by J. Weegels; ‘Macro Level: Encoding ‘Narco-soap’ Television by Scriptwriters – Bogotá, Colombia,’ by R. Sanders; ‘Comparative Level: Encoding Images by Locals – Lima, Matagalpa, Bogotá,’ by C. Klaufus, Post-Doc; and, ‘Encoding Latin American Narratives: Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude Compared to Ten Twenty-First-Century Feature Films,’ by Ouweneel. The project was not funded. Although the research conducted would have been general and theoretical, the corpus investigated was produced in three above-mentioned research locations in Latin America, a continent serving as a laboratory for intervention by storytelling, mostly fiction.

Annelou Ypeij is co-editing a special issue for Latin American Perspectives with the theme Tourism, Gender and Ethnicity, which will be published in 2012. It is the result of the panel she co-organized for the AAA in 2010 on the same theme. She has co-written the introduction and also intends to publish an arti-cle in the issue on the construction of gender and ethnicity among sácamefotos (indigenous women who pose for tourist’s cameras), tour guides and the wom-en weavers of Chinchero. This article brings together several research studies that have been executed in the framework of CEDLA’s NWO sponsored tourism research programme (2003-2007).


In October Ypeij went to Lima for a three-week fieldtrip to start up her new research project on Gender, Family and the Metropolitan City. The main goal of the stay was to learn the features and characteristics of the city anew after an absence of more than twenty years. Using taxis and public transport Ypeij ex-plored the city and especially Cono Norte, Este y Sur. In the second half of her stay she chose a research location in Cono Norte. It is located in the district of Comas in the neighbourhood of Año Nuevo. She visited many organizations and made many contacts there that will help her to set up her research proper-ly. One of the subjects people talked about and that caught her special attention was the political violence that Peru endured during the 1980s. Many people mentioned this violence spontaneously as an important occurrence in their life and stressed the impact that it has had on their emotional and material well-being. For some reason people now feel more free to talk about this violence than before. Further research will show whether violence should be included as a theme of research. The research location Año Nuevo and its surrounding areas show many stages of the urban planning process that is typical for Lima during the past decades. Año Nuevo is a consolidated poor neighbourhood of more than thirty years with all the urban infrastructure imaginable. It has a lively economy of which the daily market is one of its highlights. Surprisingly, and contrary to what is stated in the literature, many grass roots organizations are active, espe-cially as comedores populares. Some of these have functioned for more than thirty years. Ypeij visited several of them. Because the women of these organi-zations were very welcoming, they offer important access to the neighbour-hood. Año Nuevo is located near the neighbourhood of Retablo that – in the same way as Año Nuevo – started as an informal invasion. Currently it has de-veloped into a middle class neighbourhood. Its many three-storeyed, well-plastered and well-painted houses have a luxurious appearance. In the past dec-ade, large real estate investments were made which resulted in multiple-storey apartment buildings (many still under construction) and a shopping mall called Mega Plaza. The municipality also put into service a new public transport sys-tem (the first in 30 years) that goes to the outskirts of Comas. Up the hill and bordering on Año Nuevo is the neighbourhood of Nueva Unión. This pueblo jóven was established eight years ago and is also the result of an invasion. Its prefab houses are made of provisional materials and the streets are still un-paved. The municipality has built a sewage system and provided electricity. Mostly young families live there, many of whom were born and raised in near-by neighbourhoods in Comas. Ypeij intends to continue her research in the spring of 2012. She will stay in Año Nuevo and start her research by interview-ing the women of the comedores.


Developing research line

Michiel Baud participated in the ENGOV project and made preparations for an article on the historical background of environmental thinking in Latin Ameri-ca. He also started preparing his fieldwork in Ecuador on this topic. Due to his administrative and representative tasks, his time for doing research and writing in 2011 was limited. He finished his contribution “Realidades y utopías de pro-greso en la República Dominicana, 1880-1930”, for the Historia General del Pueblo Dominicana, coordinated by the Academia Dominicana de Historia. Apart from these activities he wrote a long review for the Journal of Latin American Studies (published in February 2012) and, together with Barbara Ho-genboom, participated in the discussion on the Netherlands diplomatic rela-tions with Latin America. In 2011, three PhD projects supervised by him were successfully defended. The research of Imke Harbers focuses on comparative political institutions, with a specific emphasis on the relationship between political parties and the decentralization of the state in Latin America. In 2011 her dissertation, which she defended in 2010, was shortlisted for the annual award of the Netherlands Political Science Association (NKWP). The dissertation demonstrates that de-centralization has had a significant effect on parties and party systems in Latin America. The increasing prominence of subnational electoral arenas has far-reaching implications for politics and representation, but also for how social scientists study and conceptualize political developments. For instance, the per-sistence of ‘subnational authoritarian enclaves’, where authoritarian and exclu-sionary practices persist within formally democratic regimes, highlights the need to rethink traditional regime categories. In her research, Harbers analyses how the territorial strategies of national political parties influence the persistence of such authoritarian enclaves. Decentralization has also created new opportunities for democratic actors, such as leftist and indigenous political parties. At the subnational level, these parties have often been remarkably successful in estab-lishing more responsive patterns of governance. The ‘left turn’ in national-level politics therefore raises the question under which conditions positive subna-tional experiences can be translated into national political practices. The variety of governments associated with the ‘left turn’ highlights the contested nature of the term ‘leftist’. In a co-authored article, which is forthcoming in Comparative Political Studies, Harbers shows that there is considerable variation between countries with regard to the way traditional notions of ‘left’ and ‘right’ resonate with citizens. The election of leftist presidents does therefore not necessarily reflect a stable shift in voters’ policy preferences. On 1 March Kees Koonings assumed the special Chair on Brazilian Studies at University of Amsterdam and CEDLA. The aim of the chair is to develop specific


knowledge on Brazilian history, society, development and politics through re-search, teaching and advisory work. As part of the prequel to the initiation of the Chair, CEDLA organized a one-day international conference on Brazil under Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in col-laboration with Leiden University and Utrecht University, in November 2010. The organizers (Fábio de Castro, Kees Koonings, Marianne Wiesebron) have since been working on an edited volume to publish the conference papers. This volume has been accepted by Palgrave MacMillan. In the field of research Koonings made a short research visit to Rio the Janeiro during the first week of April that focused on urban violence and favela pacification. In September, Koonings, in collaboration with Sara Koenders as proposed researcher, submitted a PhD proposal to the NWO/MaGW Research Talent Open Competition. In December, NWO gave notification that the pro-posal was admitted to the second and final round of the application procedure (decision to be announced in early May 2012).


PhD Projects

Marc Simon Thomas (2008)

Indigenous Rights and Legal Consciousness in Ecuador This is a collaborative PhD project between Utrecht University and CEDLA (2008-2012). It focuses on indigenous cultural resource use in a situation of formal legal pluralism. With the Constitution of 1998, Ecuador legally acknowledged its plu-ri-cultural and multi-ethnic character. One of the remarkable features of this acceptation of cultural and ethnic diversity was the recognition of indigenous customary law along with state law. These considerations inspired this re-search, whose main topic is to analyse how the situation of formal legal plural-ism works in daily practice for ordinary Indians. Given the lack of coordinating rules that should make both legal systems compatible, in principle Indians can choose their legal forum in case of an ‘internal conflict’. The main question that guides this research is: How does the extent to which Ecuadorian Indians are knowledgeable of their rights, and the extent to which they conceive them-selves as plural rights-bearing subjects affect their consideration of legitimate and effective resolutions, should internal conflicts arise? In the second half of 2010 Simon Thomas conducted his fieldwork in Ecuador, focussing on several current (indigenous) lawsuits which took place in the parish of Zumbahua, at the Civil Court in Pujilí, and at the Court of Justice of Cotopaxi in Latacunga. In 2011 he analysed his data and started writing on the first chapters of his disser-tation. He has also written three papers which he presented at international conferences. One of these papers has been revised into an article and will be published in the Oñati Socio-Legal Series in 2012. The supervisors of this project are Professor Michiel Baud and Professor Pat-rick Eisenlohr (Utrecht University).

Mijke de Waardt (2008)

Negotiating Peruvian victimhood and victim-based perceptions on transitional justice This is a collaborative PhD project between VU University Amsterdam and CEDLA (2008-2012). Because of the violent civil war that was raging in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s and the reconciliation process that started at the beginning of this dec-ade, different associations of victims of violence arose. De Waardt’s research focuses on construction, representation and negotiation of victimhood by orga-nized Peruvian victims of political violence in Peru and (non) governmental development organizations. Grassroots victim activism is an important topic


that is connected to the recent debates about the bottom-up perspective on transitional justice. It is the primary objective of this dissertation to enlarge the academic understanding of perspective by providing an in-depth analysis of three examples of this type of activism. The central question runs as follows: On a daily basis, how do Peruvian-organized victim-survivors of the recent civil conflict and (non) governmental organizations give shape to victimhood and make sense of these associations, and what reciprocal linkages are there among their associations and the myriad of national and transnational entities with which they interact? This question has an explorative character, because literature about transi-tional was until now largely focused on the analysis of initiatives on a national or international level. Not much research has been conducted on victim-survivors, their organizations as such or their networks in post-conflict socie-ties, neither have the needs or opinions of victim-survivors vis-à-vis transitional justice mechanisms been analysed in any depth. During the first months of 2011, de Waardt analysed her data obtained through fieldwork during the previous year by identifying the relevant features of text fragments in interviews and fieldwork notes and established interrela-tionships amongst codes, using ATLAS.ti. Between April and September, de Waardt presented her data at three inter-national conferences, where she received feedback from peers, and could make theoretical and empirical comparisons with research conducted by other schol-ars. She presented three papers and organized, together with Michiel Baud, a panel at a conference in St. Andrews. Between October and December de Waardt conducted her third period of fieldwork in Peru. She stayed as a visiting researcher at the Centre for the Study and Promotion of Development (DESCO) in order to obtain useful sources re-lated to her research theme. She also had a dozen conversations with stake-holders in the Peruvian process of transitional justice to discuss results of the ethnographic research she had conducted the year before. Furthermore, she presented results of her fieldwork at one of the victim associations that partici-pated in the research, and at a human rights and social movements study group of the sociology department at the PUCP University, Lima. In addition to conducting PhD research, de Waardt also chairs OLA, a na-tional PhD forum where PhD students of different disciplines and Netherlands universities meet once a month to discuss participants’ work in progress. Supervisors: Prof. Michiel Baud, Dr Arij Ouweneel, and Dr Ton Salman (VU University Amsterdam).


Diana Britto (2008)

Micro-espacios de la política: mujeres en situación de desplazamiento forzado en Colombia Action in Colombia. The project on displaced women in Colombia was taken up by Diana Britto in September 2008. The objective of this research is to study three organizations of women in situations of forced displacement in Colombia and the way these organizations influence the process of individual and collective empowerment and autonomy. The point of departure is that the option to work exclusively with women implies a gender focus that seeks to transform collective and indi-vidual action as well as the sphere of close relatives. The research will take place in three organizations in different cities that experienced the greatest influx of displaced people due to internal violence in the country: la Liga de Mujeres Desplazadas (Cartagena), ADESCOP (Bogotá) and Jueves de Paz (Cali). The research focuses on the manner in which the organizations interpret the con-cept of gender, both its structures and dynamics, and its legal and political im-plications. At an individual level, the focus will be on the perspectives of the women, the impact of the violence before, during and after the episode of dis-placement, as well as on the changes in the women’s private and family life af-ter they underwent training by one of the organizations and actively participat-ed in it. The methodology used in this research was quantitative and qualitative with instruments such as: survey about empowerment and autonomy, in-depth interviews, observation and documentary analysis. In 2010 the fieldwork was concluded, and during 2011 the analysis and the final version was finished, according to schedule. The defence is expected in 2012. Supervisors: Prof. Michiel Baud and Dr Donny Meertens (Universidad Nacion-al de Colombia).

Juanita Roca Sanchez (2010)

Ethnonationalisms and Conflicts in Bolivia: the Role of International Aid Agen-cies in Ethnic Politics and the Reconstruction of Indigenous Identities In 2011 Juanita Roca went to Bolivia for the first stage of her fieldwork, where she spent six months. She began a first round of interviews with anthropolo-gists, international development workers and indigenous activists in La Paz and Santa Cruz. She also approached indigenous communities in the Mosetenes and Chiquitano regions. At the same time, she worked on one of her historical chapters in which she aimed to discover whether there were any global influ-ences in early twentieth-century ethnic identity discourses within indigenous as well as non-indigenous people. Mainly through secondary sources such as stud-ies from Aymara historians from the Taller de Historia Oral like Roberto Choque and Esteban Ticona and primary ones like the Education Reform in


1917 and publications from writers of the time, she worked on the networks between politicians, intellectuals, indigenous leaders, the Catholic church and trade unions, in order to analyse the debates and discourses about race and ethnicity and their transnational connections of the time. In June, she participated at the ‘Congreso de Etnohistoria’ in Sucre. Back in the Netherlands in July, she began the first chapter of her dissertation where she wrote about her first findings. During those months, she also wrote an arti-cle for the Bolivian journal Tinkazos. Supervisor: Prof. Michiel Baud.

Håvar Solheim (2011)

Public Security, Citizen Participation and Political Legitimacy in Bogotá, Co-lombia, 1980-2010 Since the initiation of his research (April 2011) Håvar Solheim has carried out a series of academic tasks. To start, he revisited the existing literature which con-cerns the theoretical part of the PhD thesis. A large body of literature has been found and analysed. This advancement has resulted in the establishment of the current state of the art around the key theoretical discussions supporting this study. On the basis of this literature he has produced a draft of the first theoret-ical chapter. Simultaneously, he started with the preparations for conducting a period of fieldwork in Bogotá. This was finally carried out in the months April-May 2012 which produced much data and a large number of very illuminating interviews with key actors connected to the security policies in Bogotá. During this period he has also actively participated at the Political Legitima-cy (PolLeg) seminar, which is an integral part of the programme ‘Profil-eringsgebied Politieke Legitimiteit’ at Leiden University ( a multi-disciplinary research group with monthly working meetings with other PhD students and staff members). He is also enrolled in the monthly PhD group OLA in Amster-dam. During this period he also took two courses: ‘Estado, Sociedad Civil y Pol-íticas Públicas en América Latina’ given by Prof. P. Silva at Leiden, and the course ‘Social movements and democracy: Social Capital and Civic Engagement in Latin America’ taught by Prof. M. Baud. On 11 October he attended the meeting ‘Onderzoeks Netwerk Securitisering. Veiligheidsdenken in historisch en sociologisch perspectief (Research Network Securitization. Security mind-set in historical and sociological perspective) orga-nized by the Centre for Terrorism and Counterterrorism of Leiden University and Erasmus University Rotterdam. On 13 and 14 October he participated at the NALACS Annual Conference in Leiden. On 18 November he was a discussant at the academic event organized by the Profileringsgebied Politieke Legitimiteit , which was held at Leiden University. This collaborative PhD project between Lei-den University and CEDLA started in 2011 and will last until 2015. Supervisors: Prof. P. Silva (UL) and Prof. C.G. Koonings(CEDLA).


Externally Financed Projects

Project ENGOV: Environmental Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing Frameworks for Sustainable and Equitable Natural Resource Use CEDLA coordinates the FP7 Collaborative Project ENGOV on ‘Environmental Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing Frameworks for Sustainable and Equitable Natural Resource Use’. It is funded by the European Commission and involves ten Latin American and European universities. The ENGOV project focusses on the obstacles and possibilities for sustainable pro-duction systems that can generate both economic development and a more eq-uitable knowledge input and distribution of benefits across ethnic, socioeco-nomic and gender lines in order to decrease poverty, exclusion, and environ-mental degradation. The project’s central objective is to understand how envi-ronmental governance is shaped in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and to develop a new analytical framework for environmental governance in the region. The project holds nine research themes:

— Historicizing unequal resource distribution; — Shifting elites and institutions in environmental governance; — Strategic actors and responsible consumption; — Building and exchanging knowledges on natural resources; — Analysing poverty and sustainable development; — Resource extraction conflicts compared; — Local solutions towards environmental justice; — Mitigation and adaptation to climate change; — Crossing boundaries in environmental governance. In the first ten months (March to December 2011) of the four-year project, the ENGOV consortium held its kick-off meetings in Amsterdam and in Buenos Aires. From 6 to 9 April, the key researchers met at CEDLA to discuss research collaboration plans and the analytical basis for the project’s research themes. As part of the event, on 8 April ENGOV partner Joan Martinez-Alier (ICTA-UAB) gave a public lecture at the University of Amsterdam on ‘The Chevron-Texaco court case in Ecuador: Countering environmental injustice?’. The lecture at-tracted about 80 persons and was filmed for future exposure (internet). After-wards there was a network meeting for ENGOV researchers and 15 Dutch and other European social scientists working on environmental governance. From 15 to 18 November a larger meeting took place in Buenos Aires, which was or-ganized by the two Argentine institutions in ENGOV: the Latin American social science network organization CLACSO, and the Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani of the University of Buenos Aires (IIGG-UBA). On 16 Novem-ber, a full-day public meeting was held at the Environmental Ministry, with


presentations by ENGOV researchers as well as Argentine scholars, activists and policy-makers. CEDLA’s ENGOV team consists of Michiel Baud, Fábio de Castro, Leontien Cremers and Barbara Hogenboom. The website address of ENGOV is www.engov.eu. In addition, CEDLA’s website (research/projects) holds infor-mation on ENGOV, including (links to) videos, radio programmes and publi-cations.

GOMIAM: Small-scale gold mining and social conflict in the Amazon: Comparing states, environments, local populations and miners in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname Over the last few decades, the growth in small-scale gold mining has resulted in environmental problems and socio-political conflicts in the Amazon. The coun-tries affected include Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname. Uncon-trolled polluting activities of small-scale gold mining often threaten the liveli-hoods of indigenous peoples, but also the health of the miners themselves and their families. Cross-border tensions arise when miners from one country in-vade another, or smuggle gold between countries. With the recent instability in the world economy driving up the price of gold, and with techniques becoming more mechanised, the scale of the problems is increasing. The principal objective of the GOMIAM project is to develop a comparative understanding of socio-political and environmental conflicts related to small scale gold mining in the Amazon, and contribute to their possible solution. The first phase of the project, from 2011 to 2013, will be dedicated to a comparative


analysis of the different political and environmental situations in the countries of research. By creating a partnership between academic experts, politicians, local communities and small-scale miners, this project presents a comprehen-sive and integrated viewpoint on the issues concerned. This innovative and in-terdisciplinary approach will form the basis for creating policy advocacy initia-tives that will start to be implemented during the second phase of the project. The project was started on January 1st 2011, and a Methodological Work-shop was held in February, involving participants from all five country teams and the coordinating team from CEDLA. Here, a framework for comparative research was discussed and agreed upon between the teams. Two smaller re-gional workshops followed in Peru and Surinam in June and August respec-tively, allowing further exchange of research results and acquirement of more in-depth knowledge on the local situation of small scale gold mining in the hosting countries. During the year, the five research teams produced various reports, among which a set of factsheets containing information about small scale gold mining on local and national level, a document entitled Panorama in the country of re-search and a document specifically on policies on (small scale) gold mining in country of research. These results as well as the plans for the following year were discussed during a second general workshop organized in Colombia in

December 2011. This meeting was hosted by the Colombian counterpart and allowed the GOMIAM team to get to know the Oro Verde fair-gold initiative in the Colombian Chocó Region.


For the whole year, the GOMIAM Secretariat, consisting of Marjo de Theije, Judith Kolen and Leontien Cremers provided backstopping and assistance and maintained contact with the financer NWO-WOTRO, from the CEDLA office. The website address is: www.gomiam.org.

NUFFIC-CAPES Project: Formal and Informal Practices of Natural Resource use and Management in the Amazon In April, CEDLA submitted the project proposal ‘Formal and informal practices of natural resource use and management in the Amazon’ to NUFFIC. It was in reaction to the open call Programme NUFFIC-CAPES (Call 3.2011 PhD). To-gether with the Advanced Amazonian Studies Centre of the Federal University of Pará (NAEA-UFPA), CEDLA developed a joint research proposal which was formally approved in July. The NUFFIC-CAPES project consists of three CEDLA staff members, Fábio de Castro, Barbara Hogenboom and Marjo de Theije (co-ordinator), four NAEA staff members and six NAEA PhD students. The NUFFIC-NAEA project focuses on three key socio-environmental processes observed in the Amazon: First, the growing demand of commodities and ener-gy drives the development of infrastructure and expansion of large-scale pro-duction of non-renewable resources such as gold. Second, in several countries processes of territorial appropriation such as extractive reserves, and indige-nous and maroons territories are taking place. Third, pressure on the land in-creases through the informal appropriation of land and natural resource extrac-tion in new frontiers by landless and jobless migrants in search of new eco-nomic opportunities. Small scale gold miners are an example of this last group. The project’s central objective is to compare case studies representing these three territorial configuration processes in order to contrast how different social actors relate with land and natural resources and develop social relations among themselves and with the state in order to achieve their goals. The project consists of three subprojects: 1) Use and management of aquatic resources in the Lower Amazon: Conflict and cooperation through informal and formal practices 2) Conflict and cooperation in the use and management of gold in the Tapajós Mineral Province 3) Corporative social responsibility in the Mineral Extraction Industry: The case of the Bauxite Extraction (Alcoa/MRN) The project is supported by the Brazilian funding agency CAPES for the period between 2011-2015 with the amount of €146,000 for the Brazilian research team. The financial support will cover research, and short visits and training in the Netherlands by the Brazilian researchers and PhD students at CEDLA. NUFFIC-CAPES project is of major relevance for CEDLA to strengthen collabo-ration with Brazilian research fellows regarding research network, publication,


and academic training of PhD students. Our ambition is that a few Brazilian PhD students will also graduate in the Netherlands.

Fellows

Javier Corrales (May – July) Javier Corrales, Associate Professor of Political Science, Amherst College, Mas-sachusetts, United States, visited CEDLA from May 2 to July 10, where he taught a seminar on ‘The Political Economy of Petro States: Venezuela in a Compara-tive Context’, for both undergraduate and master’s students. This seminar ex-amined the political economy of oil, with specific reference to the case of Vene-zuela, one of the world’s leading oil exporters, and comparable cases in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Mirjam Alfie was CEDLA-fellow in 2010. On the basis of her work done in that period, she published: Miriam Alfie Cohen (coord.) Comprometidos para nego-ciar: conflicto y gobernanza ambiental. (Holanda, Canadá y México) México, Juan Pablos Editor/UAM Cuajimalpa, 2011.

PhD Fellows

Maria Lucia de Paiva Jacobini (January – August) Maria Lucia de Paiva Jacobini is a doctorate student at the Institute of Communication and Semiotics, Pontifícia Universidade Católica of São Paulo, Brazil. She has degrees in both Economics and Journalism. According to her PhD project ‘Images of the crisis: The photographic reality and the choices of images: economic crisis of the last decade in Brazilian newspapers’, the objec-tive of the work at CEDLA was to broaden the discussion on the perception of Latin America and economic crises as portrayed in newspaper images. She did this by reading scholarly literature hardly available in Brazilian libraries and preparing papers to discuss with her supervisor (Dr Arij Ouweneel) and the staff.

CEDLA Master’s Programme and Course Programme 2011

29 October and 1 November 2010 a NVAO visitation commission evaluated the CMP as a required element of the accreditation process of the CMP. The evalu-ation was done on the basis of a self-evaluation report that the CEDLA staff had prepared beforehand. This report, together with the results of the visitation on 29 October and 1 November 2010, provided the information leading to the QANU Report Latijns Amerika Studies, CEDLA, Q292 which led to the official accreditation of the CMP. CEDLA was informed about the accreditation and the formal registration of the CMP in the CROHO by letter on 21 June 2011. The decision holds for the period 30 May 2011 to 29 May 2017. In response to the observations made in the assessment report for accredita-tion, (1) from early 2011 onwards reporting in CEDLA staff meetings on educa-tional affairs, particularly on the progress of Master students, has been includ-ed systematically in the agenda of the staff monthly meetings and consequently in its reporting; (2) Excel-based progress reports are made by the secretariat on a monthly basis throughout the period September-May, prior to the research period in Latin America; and (3) the secretariat has started to build up a data system to improve contacts with our alumni. Moreover, CEDLA has implement-ed the recommendation by the visitation commission to use the English lan-guage. CEDLA staff decided to introduce the change rapidly and comprehensive-ly, and consequently the CMP programme starting in September 2011 was en-tirely English language. In September 2011, the new academic year started with six CMP students. Eleven students of the year 2010-2011 carried out their fieldwork in different parts of Latin America: Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, Belize, Par-aguay and Nicaragua. Each year CEDLA offers a selection of BA and MA courses that are open to all students of universities in the Netherlands. Courses can be adjusted to the stu-dents’ own university departments to meet extra requirements, such as an ex-tended paper, an additional examination or extra literature. A selection of courses is also open to non-students for a small fee. In order to better accom-modate the courses to students’ requirements, participating students complete an evaluation questionnaire. The course programme offers an introductory (basic) course, a number of courses from a specific discipline, regional courses, and lecturas guiadas (guid-


ed literature studies). CEDLA offers BA students the possibility of taking a pack-age of related courses at the BA level that together lead to a minor in Latin American Studies. This opportunity to do a minor in Latin American Studies is in keeping with the expanded options offered by most BA programmes at Netherlands universities. The minor can also effectively serve to prepare stu-dents for the CEDLA Master’s Programme. In 2011 seven candidates successful-ly completed the minor in Latin American Studies. In the calendar year 2011, a total of 15 different courses (including three ob-ligatory CMP courses – Introduction Course, Fieldwork Course and Post Field-work Course) were given at CEDLA. 354 students were registered in a course, and 269 students completed a course in 2011. The CMP students 2010-2011 participated in the Master’s Programme from September 2010 to the end of December 2011. In 2011, nine students were awarded their CMP diploma after completing their thesis. For the titles of these theses see page 63.

The Concertación Programme

Summary of activities and outputs Concertación project CEDLA

In August and September 2011, two Concertación students, Alvin Guardía and Edwin Rodriguez, graduated from the CEDLA programme. They completed their studies within the time assigned (2009-2011). Carlos Rafael Meza (2009-2011), who started together with two graduate students, had some delay but will finish his programme in March 2012. At this moment, there is one student of the Concertación scholarship programme at CEDLA still finalizing his studies: Alejandro Zegada (2010-2012). He has satisfactorily finalized his first year in The Netherlands and is now doing his field research in Ecuador and Bolivia. He is well on track and his diploma is due for August 2012. Furthermore, in March of 2011, CEDLA - Concertación coordinator Leontien Cremers organized two workshops in Cusco and in Chiclayo, Peru, bringing together the group of professionals with a research allowance from Concer-tación to work on the results of their research activities. The aim of the work-shops was to give a clear orientation and tools to the participants in order to come up with a short and concise version of their research document with the final aim of publishing these results. After the finalization of the workshops, CEDLA offered assistance in the process of the elaboration of a plan for publica-tion and the revision of the written documents. The publications are due for 2012. Finally, in November 2011 the course Justicia Hídrica/Water Justice was organized, followed by a workshop for JH researchers that brought together several scientists and civil society actors to discuss the Water Justice topic and present their research papers. Activities from CEDLA concerned the preparation, execution and follow-up of the Course and Workshop Justicia Hídrica 2011, as well as the editing of the first Justicia Hídrica book: Acumulación, conflicto y acción social that was presented during the meeting. The Concertación project will end in April 2012.


YES (Young Excellent Scholars) research internship programme

This programme is designed for students of universities in the Netherlands who are nearing the end of their studies and have achieved outstanding results in their area of study, and who wish to combine an internship with writing their thesis. The programme is also open to recent graduates who wish to gain research experience or to specialize in a theme that forms part of the CEDLA research programme. The selected students take part in an on-going research project, during which they are individually and intensively guided and super-vised. At the end of the period (three to six months), the participant receives a written certificate and, in consultation with each participant, a number of aca-demic credits appropriate to his or her contribution. Mildred Fernand (Utrecht University) worked during her internship on the top-ic of transmission of culture from older generations to the children in Suri-name and Mexico. She completed her research paper under supervision of Dr Arij Ouweneel from July till September (2 days/week). Hanneke van der Heijden (University of Amsterdam). Her research is based on fieldwork in Bolivia. She analysed the autonomy movement in the country’s eastern departments and the government’s process towards installing decen-tralization reforms. This case was used to study the dynamics between natural resources, regionalist conflict and sub-national politics. She worked under su-pervision of Dr Imke Harbers and Dr Barbara Hogenboom from January to May (2 days/week). Van der Heijden presented papers at two conferences: — ‘Natural gas and regionalism in Bolivia: from a call for departmental auton-

omy to a plural-nationalist form of decentralization’ in the panel: ‘Dealing with Inequalities (II)’, Conference ‘Geographies of Inequality in Latin Amer-ica’ (29 April-1 May), Christian Albrechts Universität, Kiel, Germany;

— Regionalism and Sub-National Governance in the Context of Natural Re-source Abundance: The Case of the East Bolivian Lowlands’ in the panel ‘Natural Resources and the Environment’, PILAS Conference ‘Legacies of the past, challenges of the present: inequality and marginality in Latin America’ (27-29 June), University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England.

Sara Koenders (Utrecht University) developed her work on pacification and se-curity in favelas of Rio de Janeiro during her internship as YES trainee. Koenders’ traineeship took place in the period May-October 2011. She obtained a short term research grant from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds to support explorative field research in Rio de Janeiro as preparation for the proposed PhD

research. Koenders carried out this field research, after her YES period, in the period May – October (2 days/week), under supervision of Dr Kees Koonings. Monica Velasco Bacarreza (Technical University of Delft). Her research is about emerging architecture in the city of El Alto, Bolivia. Her research covers an analysis about the characteristics of this architecture, and the understanding of the way those designs reflect the cultural background of the rural-urban mi-grants. Under the supervision of Dr Christien Klaufus she worked from Febru-ary to July (3 days/week).


4 LIBRARY

Library collection management

There were no major changes for the library in 2011. However, some work pro-cesses were adjusted to account for unexpected circumstances in personnel. The collection was expanded by 2000 books. About 10 per cent are books acquired through donations or exchange with other libraries. Particularly im-portant for our collection of magazines and journals is the exchange with librar-ies in Latin America: more than two thirds of the magazines are acquired in this way.

The growth of the CEDLA library since 2007 Year Book volumes Periodicals

2007 64,600 500

2008 68,000 500

2009 71,200 500

2010 73,600 510

2011 75,600 510

CEDLA library lending activity since 2007 In spite of a slight decrease in the number of loaned books, the number of visi-tors to the library has remained stable. Some of the visitors, especially foreign students and researchers, do not loan books, but consult them in the library. In the past year, the library loaned 200 books through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), 15 per cent of which to other countries.

6 EDITA

Another important part of CEDLA’s mission is to publish and distribute the re-sults of research on Latin America for a national and international public. The two book series, CEDLA Latin American Studies (CLAS) and Cuadernos del CEDLA, and the academic journal (ERLACS) European Review of Latin Ameri-can and Caribbean Studies / Revista Europea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe, aim at publishing the results of research by scholars mainly from Europe and Latin America. This also includes the results of CEDLA research. Kathleen Willingham is Desk Editor of the CLAS series and ERLACS.

CEDLA Latin America Studies (CLAS)

The CEDLA Latin America Studies (CLAS) book series includes social science monographs and the outcomes of conferences on Latin America. Although the series reflects CEDLA’s research interests, it is also geared towards the promo-tion of Latin American studies in the Netherlands. It now consists of more than 98 titles and has, through the years, made a considerable contribution to the publication and distribution of social science and historiographical research by Latin Americanists in Europe and elsewhere. From one to three monographs are published each year. Manuscripts submitted for publication are peer re-viewed. For more information see: http://www.cedla.uva.nl/50_publications/clas_books.html. From 2010, CLAS 98, the series is published by Berghahn Books, New York and Oxford (http://www.berghahnbooks.com/). The members of the Editorial Board of the CLAS series are: Prof. Michiel Baud (Chair), CEDLA, Amsterdam Dr Barbara Hogenboom, CEDLA, Amsterdam Prof. Anthony Bebbington, Clark University Dr Edward F.

Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz FOODSCAPES, FOODFIELDS, AND IDENTITIES IN YUCATÁN CEDLA Latin America Studies 99 332 pages, 15 ills, 1 map, bibliog., index ISBN 978-0-85745-220-7; Hardback The state of Yucatán has its own distinct culinary tradition, and local people are constantly thinking and talking about food. They use it as a vehicle for social relations but also to distinguish themselves from ‘Mexicans.’ This book examines the politics surrounding regional cuisine, as the author ar-gues that Yucatecan gastronomy has been created and pro-moted in an effort to affirm the identity of a regional people and to oppose the hegemonic force of central Mexican cultur-al icons and forms.

Cuadernos del CEDLA series

The series Cuadernos del CEDLA, comprising 24 titles, aims to present the re-sults of on-going research to a wide readership. For the backlist and ordering information concerning the Cuadernos del CEDLA see: http://www.cedla.uva.nl/50_publications/cuadernos.html. A selec-tion of the Cuadernos is also available for download from the website.

Revista Europea de Estudios Latino-americanos y del Caribe / European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies / Revista Eu-ropea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe (ERLACS) is an interdiscipli-nary journal containing contributions from social scientists and historians whose research is focussed on Latin America. ERLACS publishes articles per-taining to Latin America that reflect substantial empirical research and/or are theoretically innovative with respect to major debates within the social sciences or to problems of historical interpretation. In this way, it serves as a network for Latin Americanists inside and outside the Netherlands. ERLACS is published twice yearly in April and October. The contributions are in English and Spanish


from Latin Americanists residing, for the most part, in Europe and the Ameri-cas. ERLACS has a total of 300 subscriptions, including NALACS members, and 350 exchanges with other libraries and institutes. Most importantly, through these exchange contacts, valuable Latin American materials are ac-quired by the CEDLA library. In 2011, a total of 40 articles were received (for 2008, 39; for 2009, 39; for 2010, 36). All articles are first screened by members of the editorial board for their suitability before being sent to referees (peer review). The section called ‘Explorations / Exploraciones’ forms a special niche in which new themes are presented and new debates are stimulated. The contributions to this section comply with normal academic requirements, and are innovative, thought pro-voking and point toward new directions of research. ERLACS number 90 (April) had 138 pages, with four main articles and two Explorations. Number 91 (October) had 140 pages, with four main articles and two Explorations. Number 90 had one review essay and twelve book reviews. Number 91 had one review essay and ten book reviews. The index to ERLACS on the CEDLA website lists the contents of each issue. All arti-cles and explorations are posted on the website one year after publication in ERLACS. For more information see: http://www.cedla.uva.nl/50_ publications/erlacs_index.html. The members of the Editorial Board of ERLACS are: Managing editor: Prof. Michiel Baud, CEDLA and University of Amsterdam Desk Editor: Kathleen Willingham, CEDLA Editors: Dr Barbara Hogenboom, CEDLA; Dr Mario A. Fumerton, Centre for Conflict Studies, Utrecht University; Dr Fábio de Castro, CEDLA; Dr Rivke Jaffe, Developmental Sociology, Leiden University.

OPEN ACCESS Online Publications

In 2010, CEDLA started a project to provide a digital archive of publications to the academic community that are out of print or not easily available. The publi-cations are in PDF-format suitable for the Internet, and are searchable. They include volumes from the CEDLA Latin America Series (CLAS), the Cuadernos del CEDLA, and relevant publications written by CEDLA staff members. To see the available titles, go to: www.cedla.uva.nl/50_publications/archive_CLAS. html, and: www.cedla.uva.nl/50_publications/archive_cuadernos.html.

7 FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMMES

Slicher van Bath – de Jong Fellowships

The late historian Professor Dr B.H. Slicher van Bath, who died in 2004, has left a testamentary gift to CEDLA which bears his name as well as that of his wife, J.P. de Jong. The aim of this Fund is to promote the study and research of Latin American history from 1500 to the early twentieth century by granting financial support for historical research. In 2010 a separate foundation was established which administrates and con-trols the management of the endowments and fellowship funds of CEDLA. The central objective of this foundation under the name Stichting Beurzenfonds CEDLA is ‘het bevorderen van onderzoek naar Latijns Amerika in Nederland en het ondersteunen in brede zin van de doelstellingen van het CEDLA’ (to pro-mote research in the Netherlands on Latin America and to support in a broad sense the objectives of CEDLA). It is hoped that in the future this foundation will acquire more funds for fellowships for research on Latin America. Following the stipulations of the testament, the Board of the Slicher van Bath - De Jong Fund consists of two representatives from CEDLA, Prof. Dr Michiel Baud and Dr Arij Ouweneel, and a historian linked to the KNAW, Prof. Dr Gert Oostindie, director of the KNAW-institute KITLV. Following consultation with the General Board of CEDLA, the fellowship was announced for the first time on the CEDLA website in December 2010 (http:// www.cedla.uva.nl/20_research/slichter_fonds.html), and later through leaflets in Dutch and Spanish. It was decided that for the first years four fellowships, each with a maximum of € 10,000, would be made available. Applications had to be sent in before 1 April. The projects that were financed in 2011 were: Águeda Venegas De una sociedad corporativa a una sociedad de ciudadanos. Los cuer-

8 ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED BY CEDLA

NALACS – Netherlands Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies / Vereniging voor Latijns-Amerikaanse en Caribische Studies

NALACS is an association of academics and professionals focused on Latin America and the Caribbean region. NALACS’ mission is to promote knowledge and debate on the region to which end it organizes lectures, conferences and related activities. The association, which receives contributions from its mem-bers and financial support from WOTRO/NWO, has its office in the CEDLA building; secretarial activities are performed by Ms J. van den Boom. Members receive the quarterly electronic NALACS newsletter, and twice a year the Euro-pean Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. At the end of 2011, 197 academics, professionals and students were members of the association. The NALACS board consists of Dr Imke Harbers (Chair; University of Amsterdam, CEDLA), Dr Hebe Verrest (Secretary; University of Amsterdam), Dr Christien Klaufus (Treasurer; CEDLA), Dr Edwin Rap (Wageningen University), Dr Jean-nette Kloosterman (Oxfam/Novib; NGO liaison) and Nanneke Winters (Uni-versity of Antwerp; PhD student representative).

In 2011 NALACS organized the following activities: — For the seventh year in a row, NALACS contributed to the Latin American

Film Festival (LAFF) in Utrecht. This year’s event cantered on the meaning of a collective memory (memoria histórica) for contemporary Latin America. In the film ‘Nostalgia de la Luz’ by Patricio Guzman, the Chilean collective memory takes central stage. The screening of the film was followed by a panel discussion and debate. Saskia van Drunen, Katrien Klep and Ralph Sprenkels spoke via Skype with Patricio Guzman. The question discussed by the panel was whether a collective memory is primarily tied to a nation or if a Latin American collective memory also exists. And if so, what does it con-sist of and who determines this. For example, is the remembrance of the conquista in ‘indigenous’ Bolivia different from ‘white’ Argentina or ‘mesti-zo’ Mexico? How do independence, the dictatorships and the recent phase of neo-liberalism figure in this collective memory? And what role does it play in the everyday lives of Latin Americans in the 21st Century?

— In October NALACS organized an international conference with the topic ‘Contested Mobility: People, Commodities and Policies Across Latin Ameri-ca and the Caribbean’ in collaboration with the Department of Latin Ameri-can Studies (TCLA), the Institute for History (both Leiden University), the Institute of Development Policy and Management (IOB, Antwerp Universi-

ty) and CEDLA. The conference was held in Leiden (13 and 14 October). It at-tracted more than 70 participants. The keynote programme included a presentation by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro (University of Brasilia). Panel sessions covered the following themes: people on the move, the circulation of com-modities, technology and power, and state policies across national borders. Professor Lins Ribeiro also offered a master class for PhD and advanced MA students on anthropological approaches to globalization. This master class was organized by Jaime Hoogesteeger (Wageningen University).

— The 2011 NALACS thesis award was presented to Talitha Stam (Utrecht University) for her thesis entitled ‘Kids on the Frontline of Haiti’s Fault Line: Children’s Perspectives on their Earthquake Relocation’. The jury this year was formed by Edwin Rap (NALACS board), Silke Heumann (ISS) and Mieke Lopes Cardoso (University of Amsterdam). In addition to the winning thesis, the following two contributions were shortlisted: ‘“Orgullo Potosino”: Awakening Regionalism: Explaining Record Mobilization during Popular Protests in Potosí, Bolivia’ by Diana Iftodi and ‘The Plight of Small-scale Mi-crofinance and Globalization of Development: Tales of Organizational Struggle’ by Katarzyna Cieslik.

— In September NALACS organized a career orientation event for MA stu-dents. The event included lectures by Jan Bestebreurtje (Netherlands-Latin American Business Council), Ruud Lambregts (formerly Oxfam-Novib) and Fransje Molenaar (Leiden University) and attracted about 50 participants. It was held at CEDLA.

NALACS International conference in Leiden, 13-14 October.


MRN – Mining Research Network

The Mining Research Network (MRN) has been set up in 2011 by Sabine Lun-ing (Leiden University), Marjo de Theije and Barbara Hogenboom, assisted by Leontien Cremers and Judith Kolen. The MRN is a network for discussion and exchange among members of academia, NGOs and other institutions, who are studying worldwide mining trends and their social, political, environmental, cultural and economic implications. Meetings in 2011 (usually at CEDLA): — 21 June, kick-off meeting at the VU University Amsterdam with James Fer-

guson (Stanford University). — 23 September, with Veronica Davidov (Leiden University). — 28 October, with Elisabet Rasch (Wageningen University). — 16 December, with Sabine Luning (Leiden University).

OLA – Latin America Research Group

OLA (Latin America Research Group) is first and foremost a forum where PhD students of different disciplines, dealing with a variety of themes and debates yet sharing a regional focus on Latin America, can read and comment on each other’s work. In addition, OLA is a meeting point for students as well as for uni-versities that want to organize activities concerning Latin America, or who wish to get in contact with PhD students (AIO’s) who are doing research in this region. Two weeks before the meeting, members are asked to think about whether they want to submit their work. Two members eventually submit a text a week before the meeting. Drafts of journal articles, research proposals and/or chap-ters of the dissertations are sent around to the members sometimes accompa-nied with specific questions and uncertainties of the writer. In the meeting the members take turns in commenting on the text, opening up a discussion on contents, structure and form. The comments of the OLA members on submit-ted work are seen as structural, useful and constructive. PhD students who are finalizing their studies have especially indicated that the OLA commentary is indispensable to the completion of the writing process. The number of OLA members that are actually present at OLA meetings fluctuates since all PhD students (AIO’s) do research in Latin America or the Caribbean region, which of course includes their fieldwork. In 2011, the follow-ing people contributed actively to OLA: Inti Maya Soeterik, Mieke Lopes Cardozo, Jaime Hoogesteger, Sytske Groenewald, Joan van Wijk, Fransje Mo-lenaar, Marc Simon Thomas, Eva van Roekel, Håvar Solheim, and Mijke de Waardt (chair). On October 21, Mieke Lopes Cardozo defended her dissertation.

ANNEX III – GENERAL BOARD

CEDLA’s General Board comprises a representative and a substitute representa-tive from each of the participating institutes. The General Board approves the research programme, the course programmes, and the annual report. CEDLA’s General Board met on 17 May and 25 November, as did the Executive Board. At the spring meeting, the 2010 Annual (and Financial) Report, the CEDLA Mas-ter’s Programme and CEDLA course programme of 2011-2012 were approved.

Changes to the Board In 2011 the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) ended her independent member-ship of CEDLA as the ISS became part of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. The term of Prof. A.H.J. Helmsing as the representative of the ISS was there-fore ended. After many years Prof. A. van Stipriaan Luïscius, representing the Erasmus University Rotterdam stepped down. He was succeeded by Dr C.H. Biekart who, as the second representative of the Erasmus University Rotter-dam, will represent the ISS in particular.

CEDLA Art Exhibitions 2011

January – February: Betsabeé Romero – Exalted Scores With her ‘exalted scores’ Betsabeé Romero (Mexico City, 1963) shows that elec-trical wiring does not necessarily cause a visual disturbance of the landscape. Her photographs unveil the beauty of unexpected compositions and the pat-terns that are shaped by the cables. Romero speaks of pentagramas, staves. In certain cases, like blown vegetation, the ‘musical notes’ are created spontane-ously. Romero named them ‘nomad plants’. The dangling shoes refer to a less joyful aspect of the city; these photographs form part of the installation Ré-quiem para los niños perdidos (Requiem for the lost children) made in 2008, in which Romero draws attention to the problems concerning child prostitution: www.arte-mexico.com/betsabee/index.htm.

March – April, Amnesty International – Colombia: Alle dagen oorlog Armed conflict has been going on for more than 40 years in the South Ameri-can country of Colombia. Human rights are still being violated there. The Hu-man Rights organization Amnesty International continues to draw attention to this in various ways, for example, by organizing exhibitions. The Colombian photographer Jorge Mata made a photo series with the overarching theme about the continuing impunity of human rights violations in the context of a bare pretence of demilitarization. The exhibition shows in particular the human rights violations of human rights activists, union leaders, African-American societies and women.

72 | Art Exhibitions

May – July: Angela Berrocal Alania Angela Berrocal Alania, born in 1981, Huancayo, Peru, has lived in the Nether-lands since she was 12 years old. She has been painting since she was 13. Ange-la loves colors and has a great preference for cheerful music; the emotions that she has experienced in a foreign country have enabled her to gain insight into a world of introspection and the search for her own identity. Bellas Artes, danza y diseño: www.indira-angela.webs.com

August – October: Oscar Duarte Oscar Iván Duarte Dávila (Estelí, Nicaragua, April 1987). His passion in life is motivated by literature, film, photography and art in general. After majoring in communication and journalism in the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA), he also worked as a photo journalist for LA PRENSA from Nicaragua. In August a series of pictures about culture and the everyday life of Nicaraguans were exhib-ited at CEDLA. Oscar specializes in photography and video. His camera has cap-tured culture, violence, peace, society, news and actuality. Attracted by the let-ters, inspired by nature and mass movements ‘like Gasset would say’, the con-juncture, social injustice and the commitment to his homeland are parts of his human formation: oscarduarte.blogspot.com

October – December: John Sevigny – ‘Nomads’ John Sevigny is a photographer and teacher from Miami who lives in Mexico. His photographs have been exhibited in the United States, Mexico, and Portu-


gal. He previously worked as a photographer and writer for international news organizations including the Associated Press and EFE News, the news agency of the Spanish government. His news photographs have appeared in the New York Times, Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, Montreal Mirror, Dal-las Observer, El Nuevo Herald, and People Magazine. This collection of por-traits of Central American immigrants was taken at the Belén Posada del Mi-grante, a shelter in the northern Mexican city of Saltillo. A subplot of this pro-ject is the immigrants’ desire to travel for the sake of traveling. Many immi-grants – particularly the males – who get to Saltillo do not continue their jour-ney to the United States, but return to their home countries. Many seem to have found what they were looking for on the road.

December: Photographs of CEDLA Master’s Programme Students In December CEDLA organized an exhibition with pictures of the CMP stu-dents. Each of the nine CMP students exhibited a picture that reflected their experiences during their fieldwork in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Belize, Para-guay, Peru and Nicaragua. The result was a colourful expression of the diversity of the region and a reflection of the experiences of their students. Here is a se-lection of three.
