Emerging processes and territorial innovations on the margins
El CLACSO Working Group Emerging processes and territorial innovations on the margins This research seeks to identify emerging processes in territorial innovations developing in marginalized regions of the Global South, especially in semi-arid and mountainous areas, and even on the fringes of cities. From a critical perspective, our working group questions the ways in which these areas are categorized as underdeveloped or as requiring technologies and knowledge from abroad. Thus, we analyze semi-arid zones, rainforests, and mountainous regions as political and social categories that justify power relations regarding access to, appropriation of, and distribution of resources and the populations inhabiting these territories, all according to a capitalist logic.
The researchers who make up this Working Group seek to analyze, share and delve into different experiences of subaltern groups (indigenous groups, peasants, socio-territorial movements, sexual dissidences, etc.) that challenge the development processes proposed by the hegemonic culture and that have the ability to put into play solutions and strategies to various challenges they face (water crisis, dispossession of their lands and resources) through multiple resistance processes that take into account their worldview and their ways of inhabiting the territory.
