el artículo aborda cómo se percibe, interpreta y experimenta el destierro y el desarraigo derivado del conflicto armado, en dos comunidades Embera asentadas en el municipio de Puerto Boyacá, mediante un enfoque narrativo y territorial. En él se describen las principales características socio-políticas del pueblo Embera y la crisis humanitaria, mediante un enfoque cualitativo que se nutre de las historias de vida sobre el destierro y el desarraigo en la cuenca alta del río San Juan. Así mismo, revela los sentidos, tensiones y relaciones de poder que desarrollan las comunidades Embera en Puerto Boyacá, mediante una perspectiva cualitativa donde presenta un conjunto de continuidades y rupturas que revelan cómo opera la territorialidad Embera en escenarios de violencia y marginalización. Finalmente, ofrece herramientas teórico-metodológicas para analizar el destierro y el desarraigo como parte de procesos de territorialización que contienen prácticas y discursos asociados a la producción social de territorios y narrativas. Abstract: the article addresses how the banishment and uprooting derived from the armed conflict over two Embera communities settled in the municipality of Puerto Boyacá is perceived, interpreted and experienced through a narrative and territorial approach. The document describes the main socio-political characteristics of the Embera people and the humanitarian crisis through a qualitative approach that draws on life stories about the banishment and uprooting of the Upper San Juan river basin. The article reveals the senses, tensions and power relations that the Embera communities develop in Puerto Boyacá, through a qualitative perspective that presents a set of continuities, and ruptures that reveal how or Embera territoriality operates in scenarios of violence and marginalization. Finally, the article offers theoretical-methodological tools to analyze exile and uprooting as part of territorialization processes that involve practices and discourses associated with the social production of territories and narratives. Keywords: Embera, banishment, uprooting, territorialization, territorial narrative, human territoriality.

El presente artículo analiza las condiciones de vulnerabilidad de una comunidad pesquera frente a los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos agravados por el cambio climático. Se utiliza la metodología cualitativa, con apoyo en métodos geográficos, y con base en un estudio de caso: la comunidad afrodescendiente La Barra, localizada en el litoral Pacífico colombiano, en la desembocadura del río San Juan. Al existir un acceso limitado a la comunidad por sus condiciones geográficas, además de los requisitos de bioseguridad establecidos por la pandemia de COVID-19, se realizan un análisis documental y mapas multitemporales, a partir de imágenes satelitales, para visualizar los cambios espaciales de la línea costera de La Barra durante los años 2001, 2011 y 2019. Asimismo, se realizan entrevistas a expertos académicos y pobladores de la comunidad. La vulnerabilidad es entendida desde la escuela de pensamiento de la ciencia del cambio climático y la investigación sobre adaptación. Se concluye que no solo depende de los estímulos climáticos, sino también de las condiciones racializadas y marginalizadas de poblaciones afro ubicadas en territorios rurales aislados. De tal manera, la naturaleza social y política de los fenómenos meteorológicos puede transformarlos en eventos catastróficos para poblaciones vulnerables.   Abstract This article analyses the vulnerability conditions of a fishing community facing the extreme meteorological phenomena aggravated by climate change. The methodology is qualitative, supported by geographic methods, based on the case study of the “La Barra afro-descendant community”, located in the Colombian Pacific Coast, in the mouth of San Juan River. As there is limited access to the community due to its geographical conditions, besides the biosecurity requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a documentary analysis, as well as multi-temporal maps based on satellite images, show the spatial changes on the coastline of La Barra, during the years 2001, 2011 and 2019. In addition to the above, interviews with academic experts and community residents are conducted. The term “vulnerability” is understood from the school of thought of climate change science and adaptation research. It is concluded that the vulnerability not only depends on climatic stimuli but also on the racialized and marginalized conditions of Afro populations located in isolated rural territories. In that way, the social and political nature of the meteorological phenomena could transform them in catastrophic events for vulnerable populations.

Presentamos los resultados de un estudio ornitológico realizado en la localidad de Tobar Donoso, provincia del Carchi, Ecuador, en septiembre de 2009 y agosto de 2010. Esta localidad está ubicada en el noroccidente de Ecuador en la margen izquierda del río San Juan, en el límite con Colombia. Para el registro de aves en áreas boscosas establecimos tres transectos y cuatro sitios para su captura. Además, en otros hábitats realizamos observaciones en períodos de alta actividad de las aves. En el área, registramos 210 especies, 59 especies están clasificadas bajo diferentes categorías de riesgo de extinción, 28 son endémicas, tres son migratorias boreales y una es migratoria intertropical. La diversidad es alta, la mayoría de especies habitan áreas boscosas y son especies características de la Bioregión del Chocó. En los alrededores de Tobar Donoso, el bosque se encuentra en buen estado de conservación; sin embargo, algunos lugares han sido intervenidos con actividades antropogénicas como la cacería, extracción de madera y actividades agropecuarias.Avifauna of Tobar Donoso, Carchi, EcuadorWe present the results of an ornithological study conducted in Tobar Donoso, province of Carchi, Ecuador, in September 2009 and August 2010. The locality is in northwestern Ecuador, on the left bank of the San Juan river at the border with Colombia. To record birds in forested areas, we established three transects and four sites for capture. In addition, we conducted observations in other habitats during periods of high bird activity. In the area, we recorded 210 species, 59 species are classified under different extinction risk categories, 28 are endemic, three are boreal migrants and one is an intertropical migrant. Diversity is high, most species are forest areas and correspond to the Chocó Bioregion. Around Tobar Donoso, the forest is in good condition; however, some places have been affected by anthropogenic activities such as hunting, logging, and farming.

El presente trabajo constituye un proyecto de investigación realizado en la cuenca hidrográfica del Río Chiriquí Viejo, caracterizada por el alto potencial de calidad y régimen fluvial del recurso hídrico para su uso. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar y determinar el comportamiento de las características sociales claves de la cuenca hidrográfica, por la incidencia del extractivismo hídrico con fines de generación de energía, desarrollado desde el año 2000 a la actual fecha. Implicó identificar las características sociales más importantes de la cuenca hidrográfica y cómo se ha manifestado su comportamiento frente a la excesiva explotación del recurso hídrico. La metodología empleada para la investigación fue basada en la información recolectada in situ, a través de encuestas, entrevistas, bibliografía, fotografías, las cuales fueron analizadas por medio de dos (2) herramientas tecnológicas: a) Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG), b) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Como resultado, se identificaron cinco (5) características sociales claves, las cuales se atribuyen a la cuenca hidrográfica y la definen como una unidad de espacio geográfico compleja. Estas características son: el poder social, control social, movilidad social, movimiento social y el comportamiento colectivo. También se determinó la existencia del proceso de extractivismo hídrico, identificado como la causa principal del conflicto en la cuenca hidrográfica y el factor influyente en el comportamiento de sus características sociales. Cabe destacar como hallazgo que el componente social de la cuenca hidrográfica, se refleja como un sistema complejo activo, organizado y dinámico en constante interacción e interrelación. Con relación al alcance de la investigación, su perspectiva es continuar con las investigaciones en el marco demográfico, social y cultural de la cuenca hidrográfica.

Abstract. This article offers an empirical account of the emotionally charged processes involved in the social production of territory. I draw from ethnographic interviews with displaced leaders of socio-territorial movements in Medellín, Colombia, who are resisting what I call double displacement. First, they were displaced from the Colombian countryside due to conflict and now, decades later, they are again being displaced, this time from their informal settlements due to urban development. Founders of settlements are now leaders of social movements, who reside on the periphery of the city and make claims to their neighborhoods using the slogan that they have a “right to the territory”. I examine this case of double displacement to demonstrate the emotional and political aspects of re-territorialization by non-state actors at the urban scale. I argue that by applying a socio-territorial approach to examining the impact of double displacement, we recognize non-state territorialization as a realization and expansion of social power.

This book explores some of the risks associated with sustainable peace in Colombia. The book intentionally steers away from the emphasis on the drug trade as the main resource fueling Colombian conflicts and violence, a topic that has dominated scholarly attention. Instead, it focuses on the links that have been configured over decades of armed conflict between legal resources (such as bananas, coffee, coal, flowers, gold, ferronickel, emeralds, and oil), conflict dynamics, and crime in several regions of Colombia. The book thus contributes to a growing trend in the academic literature focusing on the subnational level of armed conflict behavior. It also illustrates how the social and economic context of these resources can operate as deterrents or as drivers of violence. The book thus provides important lessons for policymakers and scholars alike: Just as resources have been linked to outbreaks and transformations of violence, peacebuilding too needs to take into account their impacts, legacies, and potential

Modern War

War is an essential part of the social reality inherent in all stages of human development: from the primitive communal system to the present, where advanced technologies and social progress prevail. However, these characteristics do not make our society more peaceful, on the contrary, according to recent research and reality, now the number of wars and armed conflicts have increased, and most of the conflicts have a pronounced local intra-state character. Thus, wars in the classical sense of them go back to the past, giving way to military and armed conflicts. Now the number of soldiers and the big army doesn’t show the opponents strength. What is more important is the fact that people can use technology, the ideological and informational base to win the war. According to the history, «weak» opponent can be more successful in conflict if he has greater cohesion and ideological unity. Modern wars have already transcended the political boundaries of states, under the pressure of certain trends, they are transformed into transnational wars, that based on privatization, commercialization and obtaining revenue. Thus, the present paper will show a difference in understanding of terms such as «war», «military conflict» and «armed conflict». And also the auteurs will tell about the image of modern war and forecasts for its future transformation.

The Disappeared

History is witness to the fact that warring factions in any armed conflict often commit several human rights violations like murder, rape, torture etc., and the act of disappearance of person is one among them. While the persons who are subjected to disappearance are the primary victims, the families they leave behind are the secondary victims. The situation makes families of the disappeared person suffer great anguish when their loved ones go disappeared. The phenomenon produces anguish, fear and unspeakable sorrow for thousands of families. Appreciating the importance of social work professionals in helping families deal effective with their life situations the present paper aims to provide a case for social work interventional techniques of Social Support System (SSS) and Case Management to modify and make the social environment conducive for the families to live a normal life.
