We outline the analytical value of grounding political ecologies of globalization in notions of livelihood, scale, place and network. This requires an understanding of the linkages between rural people to global processes. We argue that the exploitation of these linkages can, under certain circumstances, result in new options and markets for rural people in marginal regions, even though many rural societies also confront serious political, environmental and economic challenges that likewise derive from globalization.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120965517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originally formed largely in accordance with state-prescribed models, and with considerable guidance from external institutions, these organizations have worked to defend existing land claims; access institutional, financial and natural resources; and make civil rights claims against the state. Regional and national indigenous organizations have mobilized discourses of cultural identity in strategic ways in order to achieve these goals. This paper examines the scalar linkages between the processes of economic and social transformation in the Ecuadorian Amazon and the ways in which indigenous organizations have responded to these changes since the country’s agrarian reform. I argue that the material and discursive mobilization of identity has been central to the aims of accessing resources and claiming political rights. Through a comparative case study of a regional indigenous federation and one of its constituent base communities, I highlight the differences between organizational histories, capacities and aims. Most studies of indigenous movements in the Amazon Basin have considered only regional or national organizations, often giving a false impression of homogeneity within such movements. I contend that detailed analysis of the relations between regional secondary-level indigenous federations and local base communities, as well as the micro-level processes of production and resource mobilization at the community and household scales, is crucial in understanding indigenous organizing processes in Ecuador today.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129950456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The icono-graphic function pertains to the iconic employment of water towers in pictorial depictions of the Zionist settlement landscapes. The commemorative function refers to the transformation of particular water towers into war memorials of Israel’s War of Independence. The nostalgic function relates to the valorization of defunct water towers as elements of local heritage and material symbols of local identity. Operative in different historical periods, political contexts and cultural settings, these symbolic functions pertained to particular Zionist myths and were productive in the ongoing formation of Zionist cultural geographies of modernity, tradition, memory and nostalgia.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"21 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121006069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All three, she argues, conceptualize identity detached from firm territorial referents. In the epilogue, Comer reflects that an ethic of transnationalist, postmodern, female solidarity may foster justice – but that there are no sureties. Comer writes clearly, avoiding the stylistic complexities of much postmodern analysis. She admits that some of her readings are against the grain of other critical works, but makes a convincing case for her interpretations. I am struck, however, by Comer’s adherence to the conventions of literary criticism and her limited use of geographers’ work, given the book’s title and themes. She does not consistently delve into and represent the landscape and spatial themes that she claims are central to her arguments, nor is it always clear how she sees landscape connecting space and place. She notes that her predecessors writing on the west relied heavily on ‘perceptual geography’ from the 1970s (Bowden, Lowenthal, Meinig, Tuan) but her references to recent geographic works relate to postmodernism, space and place (Harvey, Soja, Massey) and she does not engage with contemporary cultural geographic writing on landscape (other than work by Stephen Daniels who is identified as an art critic), or with US feminist geographers. Despite these reservations, I value the book for bringing attention to the collective importance of these women’s writings and for offering an original interpretation of the place of the contemporary west in American geographical imaginations.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"111 3S 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126109473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dressed in shades of blue that mark him as a member of the Crips – one of several gangs that inhabit the streets of Brooklyn, New York – he recites a litany of social and economic ills that make up his day, and the days of his family and friends. But this is not another styleconscious gangsta rap music video revelling in violence, misogyny and conspicuous consumption. Nor is it one more in a series of spurious investigative news reports on troubled times in America’s ‘inner cities’ – an Orwelian turn of phrase, popular with bureaucrats, politicians and television talking heads, that obscures the economic deprivation and racial divisiveness it is meant to reveal. This video, and others like it, was produced by a team of homeless teenagers as part of a media arts and training programme called Envision Television (e-TV). e-TV is the latest youth programme offered by Downtown Community Television (DCTV), a media access centre located in New York City’s Chinatown. Founded in 1972 by documentary film-makers Jon Alpert and Keiko Tsuno, DCTV provides free and low-cost video production training, equipment and services to individuals and community groups whose voices and perspectives are largely absent from mainstream media. In addition to facilitating video programme production, DCTV exhibits and distributes programming that is rarely, if ever, available through commercial or public service media outlets. Over the years, DCTV’s in-house productions and community projects have graphically demonstrated video’s potential as an agent of progressive social change and a vehicle for local cultural expression. Of DCTV’s most notable tapes, those dealing with the immigrant experience in America, everyday life in Castro’s Cuba, exposés on the condition of the city’s health care and prison systems and the consequences of substance abuse have won numerous awards for their aesthetic innovations and journalistic integrity. Like other media access initiatives, then, DCTV plays a significant but largely unacknowledged role in enhancing the social, civic and cultural life of local communities. Supported through the Soros Foundation’s Open Society Institute, the e-TV scholarship programme offers media literacy and video production training at two of the city’s temporary housing facilities, the Amboy Neighborhood Center in Brooklyn and the HELP centre in the Crotona section of the Bronx. This unique training programme gives 40 young people living in temporary housing unprecedented access to digital video cameras, lights, microphones and related","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123856643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the late nineteenth century American elites transformed museums from entertainment-oriented commercial affairs to public institutions that represented their home cities both locally and nationally. The Libby Prison Museum, a collection of Civil War artefacts housed in an actual Confederate prison reconstructed in Chicago, spanned the peak years of this transition and illustrates the tensions it engendered. Faced with negative evaluations by the national press, the museum’s directors attempted to assert its cultural legitimacy as well as that of the city of Chicago, yet their claims were skewed by a longstanding rhetorical tradition which celebrated the city as a place of startling contrasts. They were equally hampered by their adherence to older aesthetic standards and cultural practices, which were out of tune with their ostensible goals. The directors ultimately contradicted their own definition of both the museum and the city, demonstrating that the image of a city, built up over many years of accumulated visual and textual representations, is powerfully self-perpetuating, while cultural institutions can be heavily influenced by tradition and inherited conventions even as they undergo change.","PeriodicalId":104830,"journal":{"name":"Ecumene (continues as Cultural Geographies)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131853510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
