"Sustaining Territories: Land grabbing tactics and the everyday acts of care of/in la pacha"

Abstract: This lecture is inspired by Indigenous, (de)/(post)colonial, student, and queer/trans/feminist activisms and scholarship in Abya Yala (a decolonial enunciation in the Kuna language of the continent that the colonizers called America) to propose two
concepts to rethink the actions of drug cartels, governmental officials, social movements, and people organized in collectives and non-governmental organizations to claim sovereignty over global cities’ territories: land grabbing tactics and everyday acts of care of/in la pacha. Tactics of land grabbing are ongoing State-geography-making socio-political-economic practices to displace people from their land-territories-bodies-cosmos. Pacha is an Andean onto-epistemology that refers to the cosmos in its entirety, both time and space. Pacha-sofía is used to re-theorize the territorial component of sovereignty through land grabbing and care. This lecture will demonstrate the usefulness of this re-conceptualization through the study of the colonial, gendered, racialized, and sexualized violence of the Tepito drug cartel —the main cartel in Mexico City— and the José Yves Limantour Student House —an autonomous space of resistance sharing territory with the cartel. It shows the ongoing coloniality of land-grabbing tactics and the everyday struggle against such coloniality through acts of care of/in la pacha, allowing for alternative relations to sovereignty in urban territories amidst extreme colonial, gendered, racial, and sexualized violence.
