COLLOQUIUM INFORMATION for Tuesday, January 09th 2024:
Grounding Plurinationality: Negotiating land and territory in the Bolivian Chiquitanía. Marie Jasser (Universität Wien/Universidad Nur, Bolivia).

In the Bolivian Chiquitanía, direct effects of the climate crisis on everyday life are increasingly evident. Extreme weather events like high temperatures, storms, droughts, floods, and wildfires have become commonplace over the past decade. Against this backdrop, Marie Jasser analyses territorialities, land use and tenure in the Bolivian plurinational framework. Plurinationality as a project encompasses the coexistence and recognition of multiple forms of production and relations to nature. Currently, the expansion of the agricultural extractivist frontier and extreme weather events put increasing pressure on territories that are not incorporated into industrialised agriculture, creating tensions within the plurinational state.
