Abstract:

Ce travail analyse le processus de construction du risque à Medellin (Colombie). Depuis le milieu de XXe siècle, les désastres « naturels », liés à des glissements de terrain, à des inondations et à de crues subites, ont provoqué la mort de plus d'un millier de victimes, affectant plus de cinquante mille personnes et détruisant plus de cinq mille logements dans l'agglomération. Bien que la ville a été marquée par des grandes catastrophes dans le sens classique du terme, comme celle de Villatina en 1987, les désastres qui ont lieu sont dans la plupart des « petits désastres» affectant quotidiennement les habitants des zones informelles dont les « grands effets » accumulés ont été historiquement banalisés par les habitants eux-mêmes et par les pouvoirs publics. La répartition des désastres dans la ville exprime très nettement la manière dont les segmentations sociales ont eu lieu. Elles découlent d'une répartition hétérogène des ressources et des réseaux techniques dans un site géographiquement contraignant. Ce contexte reflète une situation commune aux villes andines et en général aux agglomérations urbaines du sud. L'intérêt principal du cas ici mobilisé tiennent du fait qu'il s'agit d'une ville où une grande quantité de ressources ont été investies au cours des trois dernières décennies dans l'évaluation et la gestion du risque. Medellin est aussi l'espace urbain où les risques de tout genre et à tous les niveaux d'échelle coexistent dans un amalgame difficile à démêler, ayant trait notamment, au conflit armé du pays, ce qui rend leur étude particulièrement complexe. Ce contexte très particulier nous a permis de mettre en relation, à partir d'une large enquête de terrain, les problèmes urbains et les solutions apportées tout en mettant en dialogue les discours, les pratiques et les représentions sociales des différents acteurs qui participent à la gestion. Le travail s'organise en trois parties: dans la première partie, sont analysés les effets accumulés des désastres, portant une réflexion, dans une perspective historique, sur les causes sous-jacentes de la vulnérabilité ainsi que sur les racines de la construction d'un discours local autour du risque. La deuxième partie porte sur les stratégies de gestion mises en place à partir du moment où le risque dit naturel a été objectivé comme un problème public. La dernière partie porte sur les tensions qui existent entre gestion du risque et réponse aux urgences et sur les difficultés auxquelles se heurte la gouvernance du risque à partir d'une analyse bottom-up des relations qui se nouent entre les différents acteurs This work analyses the process of social construction of risk in Medellin. Since the middle of the 20th century "natural" disaster due to landslides, floods and flashfloods has caused over 1,000 deaths, affecting over 50,000 people and destroying over 5,000 homes. Although the city itself has been marked by a great catastrophe, understood in its classic sense, such as Villatina in 1987, disasters are mostly "small disasters" that affect the daily lives of informal settlement inhabitants. Nevertheless, their accumulated "major effects" in time and space have historically been brushed aside by the affected people themselves as well as by local authorities. The pattern of disasters shows the way in which social segmentations have taken place resulting in particular from a heterogeneous distribution of public utilities, leading to the accelerated degradation of a geographically constraining site. This context is common to other Andean cities as well as, in general, to aIl developing cities. The main interest of this case study is that a lot of resources have been invested in the last three decades in attempting to assess and manage risk. Medellin is also the city where different urban risks at various levels coexist, particularly in regard to the Colombian political conflict, making risk assessment more difficult. Through a large field research, this study looks at the relationships that exist between public policies, actions and social representations of risk and disasters. The dissertation is organized in three main parts: first accumulated effects of disasters are analyzed from a historical point of view and in relation to the underlying causes of "vulnerability as well as the roots of the public debate about risk. Secondly, it analyses the main strategies of risk reduction that have been applied. Finally, it analyses the contradictions between risk governance and disaster response and the difficulties of achieving risk governance from a bottom-up perspective. Instead of being a framework allowing us to understand the complexity of elements that compose risk and to move towards a sustainable urban development, this work brought us to the conclusion that local public risk management policies have been used mainly as a tool to constrain informal urban development. As a consequence, this fragmented vision has inhibited the improvement of a more holistic and multi-hazard approach concerning the conurbation as a whole and, in the other hand, it has aggravated the risk conditions of the most vulnerable groups of the population

Abstract:

Cette thèse étudie la fragmentation urbaine, justifiée par le problème de la violence ambiante et omniprésente. Plus particulièrement le cas de Medellín en Colombie, Medellin, avec son titre de la ville la plus « dangereuse du monde » devient un cas d’étude intéressant dans le processus de fragmentation urbaine. Le phénomène de lotissements, de quartiers fermés ou privés est présenté en soi comme une conséquence de la fragmentation socio-spatiale et justifié par un besoin de sécurité. Au-delà des ensembles résidentiels fermés, cette violence a aussi servi à fermer des zones entières de la ville, non pas à l’aide de murs mais avec la peur de la population face à l’acteur armé dans un environnement très complexe de violence que nous essayons de comprendre dans le processus de fragmentation socio-spatiale. L’étude est limitée aux 105 km² de la zone urbaine. Présenté en trois partis :1) Un mélange possible, 2) la ségrégation socio-spatiale de Medellin ; Territoires urbains et identités sociales ; 3) Les frontières internes This thesis is concerned with the study of urban fragmentation, caused by the ambient and omnipresent fear of violence in society. The study specifically focuses on Medellin in Colombia, which proves an interesting case due to its title as "The most dangerous city in the world". The phenomenon of enclosed or private neighbourhoods appears in part to be a consequence of the fragmentation of society, caused by a need for enhanced security. Beyond the enclosed or private neighbourhoods, violence has resulted in the closure of whole city zones. This partition has not been as a result of concrete walls, but through the fear of the population of armed protagonists in a complex environment of violence. This work aims to understand the fragmentation process in relation to socio-spatial segregation. The study is limited to an area of 105m² of the urban zone and is divided into three parts, namely 1) Possible social mixtures, 2) the socio-spatial segregation of Medellin, urban textures and social identities, and 3) the internal borders

Abstract:

L'auteur étudie les phénomènes de violence à Medellin sur une période de quatre décennies (1975-2014), pendant laquelle la ville a connu 90 000 assassinats. Il explique comment, sous l'effet des dynamiques et interférences du trafic de cocaïne, la ville est arrivée à une situation aussi extrême, avant de retrouver une certaine normalité. Il montre que cette tragédie se laisse peu expliquer par la précédente période de violence (1948-1963, connue comme La Violencia) ; qu'ils résulte non plus des seuls acteurs se réclamant d'une orientation politique (guérillas, organisations paramilitaires), ni des processus de développement urbain peu régulé ou des graves conditions de pauvreté et exclusion. Par contre, l'auteur mets en évidence le rôle majeur joué par l'économie de la drogue et ses "réseaux" criminels. A travers des descriptions analytiques solidement documentées ce travail offre une description minutieuse du pouvoir que les trafiquants de cocaïne arrivent à exercer durant toute cette période sur la société locale et une grand partie de la Colombie. L'ouvrage compte 22 chapitres, distribuées en sept parties chronologiques: (1) la perte de contrôle progressive des élites sur la ville (années 1970 et 1980); (2) la mise en place des réseaux mafieux avec l'arrivée de la cocaïne, y inclut la carrière criminelle de Pablo Escobar; (3) la période de terreur qui s'empare de la ville dans les années 1980 et 1990 et la prolifération des bandes, des milices et des sicaires qui l’accompagne; (4) les réactions de différents secteurs de la société civile et les contre-réactions violentes des réseaux criminels ; (5) l’endurcissement du conflit armé ; (6) la démobilisation paramilitaire, les nouvelles politiques de sécurité (2002-2008), les reformes urbaines et la place donnée aux victimes; (7) les reconfigurations de la criminalité (avec une nouvelle hausse des meurtres) et des tentatives de réponse apportées par les pouvoirs publics et certains secteurs de la société civile, et la mise en scène des victimes (2005-2014). Dans la conclusion, l'auteur ouvre de nombreuses pistes de réflexion The author analyses the violent phenomena that during four decades (1975-2014) effected the city of Medellin (Colombia), a period during which the city experienced 90 000 murders. The author shows that this period of violence can hardly be explained as the continuity of an earlier one (1948-1963, known as La Violencia). It can also not be understood as the mere product of guerrilla, paramilitary and other violent illegal organizations, which claim political motives, or as the direct result of weakly regulated urban development and problems of poverty and exclusion. Rather, as the author shows, a major role is reserved for the extensive criminal networks of cocaine traffickers and the interferences they engage in. Thru solidly documented analytical descriptions this study offers a detailed panorama of the power these networks were able to impose on the local society and a large part of the country. The 22 chapters of this dissertation are chronologically ordered into seven parts: the progressive loss of local elites over the city; the imposition of criminal networks, including the criminal career of Pablo Escobar and his gang; the city in the grip of terror, gangs, militias, and hit killers; civil society reactions and the counter actions taken by criminal networks; the hardening of the armed conflict; paramilitary demobilization, new national security policies, audacious urban policies, and increased recognition of the victims; criminal reconfigurations (and a new wave of murders) and the reactions provided by the government, the local administration and certain civil society organizations. The conclusion offers numerous reflections

Abstract:

Dans ce travail de recherche, nous voulions découvrir les facteurs qui ont été determinants pour le processus de résilience des personnes qui ont subi un déplacement forcé en Colombie, le rôle qu’aurait pu jouer dans ce processus le lien de parenté et l’appui social qu’ont trouvé les victimes de ce fléau. Pour arriver à nos fins, nous nous sommes mis en contact avec des familles de déplacés qui vivent dans la ville de Medellín dans deux des quartiers qui ont reçu le plus de déplacés. Deux quartiers périphériques qui ont vu leur population augmenter du fait de l’arrivée de ces personnes. Nous avons conversé avec ces familles qui nous ont raconté comment elles vivaient avant de souffrir ce traumatisme, comment elles ont vécu le moment de la fuite et leur arrivée à Medellín où elles pensaient trouver la paix. Mais à la ville, elles ont dû faire face à d’autres problèmes, non moins graves, comme la discrimination sociale, l’absence d’un toit et d’un travail digne pour survivre In this study, we aimed to describe the determinants of the resilience process of people who suffered forced displacement in Colombia, and the role that kinship and social support for the victims of this scourge play in this process. To this end, we contacted displaced families living in two neighborhoods with the largest number of displaced persons in the city of Medellin. Two neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city that have seen their population increase with the arrival of these people. These families shared their stories with us, told us how they used to live before they were forced to leave their land, the pain and horrors of having to flee, and their confusion and hope when they arrived in Medellin where they thought they could find peace

Abstract:

Cette thèse doctorale adopte une approche spatiale pour examiner comment les interactions genrées de rue affectent la structure, l’accès à et la perception des espaces publics urbains à Medellín. Elle s’intéresse notamment aux interpellations de rue masculines adressées aux femmes dans les espaces publics, souvent comprises comme du « harcèlement de rue » mais communément appelées « compliments de rue » au niveau local. L’enquête mobilise une approche intersectionnelle pour examiner comment l’usage, la régulation et la contestation de ces interactions sont modulées par des structures de pouvoir interconnectées liées au genre, à la classe sociale, et à la race. J’analyse comment les interactions genrées dans les espaces publics participent à la reproduction des hiérarchies raciales et de classe sociale enracinées dans l’histoire coloniale à travers la maintenance des polarités genrées. Ces interactions contribuent à distinguer les femmes « respectables » des femmes « repréhensibles », une classification implicite aux catégories de caste en vigueur à l’époque coloniale. J’explore également le rôle de ces interactions dans la maintenance d’une polarité masculine correspondante entre hommes protecteurs et hommes agresseurs. La recherche s’appuie sur un travail ethnographique immersif de sept mois qui comporte l’observation des espaces publics et plus que 70 entretiens semi-directifs ainsi que des méthodologies innovatrices telles que des entretiens mobiles et la cartographie sensible. Elle a été menée en 2018 et 2019, un moment où la Colombie venait d’entrer dans un état de post-conflit avec la signature d’un accord de paix en 2016 entre le gouvernement et le groupe Farc (Forces armées révolutionnaires de Colombie). Medellín a été particulièrement touché par le conflit armé mais a récemment réussi à se réinventer comme ville moderne et innovante. C’est dans ce contexte que s’inscrit un des principaux axes d’analyse de ma thèse, à savoir la façon dont des forces d’ordres à la fois légales (comme le gouvernement municipal) et illégales (comme les groupes paramilitaires) cherchent à protéger ou à harceler les femmes dans les espaces publics de manière à consolider leur contrôle des territoires et à maintenir certains ordres sociaux et économiques This doctoral dissertation adopts a spatial perspective to explore how gendered street interactions affect the experience of and access to Medellín’s urban public spaces. It is particularly concerned with comments men direct at women in public places (many of which are commonly understood to be “street harassment” and locally referred to as “street compliments”), mobilizing an intersectional approach to analyze how their use, contestation, and regulation are affected by entwined power structures related to gender, class, and race. I examine how these interactions perpetuate racial and class hierarchies rooted in colonial history by upholding gendered polarities that distinguish between “respectable” and “dishonourable” women, a distinction implicit to caste categories in place under colonial rule. I similarly examine the role these interactions play in upholding a corresponding masculine polarity between “protectors” and “aggressors.” The research is based on seven months of immersive ethnographic fieldwork, which included observations of public spaces and over 70 semi-structured interviews in addition to innovative methodologies such as mobile interviews and social cartography. It was conducted in 2018 and 2019, shortly after the signing of peace accords between the Colombian government and the FARC [The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia] in 2016. Medellín was particularly affected by Colombia’s armed conflict but has recently rebranded as a modern and innovative city on the international stage. This context gives rise to one of the central lines of inquiry in my thesis, which looks at the ways in which both legal and illegal forces of order (Medellín’s municipal government and local paramilitary groups, respectively), alternately condemn or engage in the harassment of women in public spaces as a means to consolidate control over territories and uphold particular economic and social orders Esta tesis doctoral adopta una perspectiva espacial para explorar cómo las interacciones generizadas en los espacios públicos afectan la estructura, el acceso y la percepción de estos espacios en la ciudad de Medellín. Focaliza particularmente los comentarios masculinos dirigidos hacia mujeres desconocidas en lugares públicos (que son ampliamente comprendidos como “acoso callejero” pero habitualmente llamados “piropos callejeros” a nivel local), adoptando un enfoque interseccional para examinar cómo su utilización, regulación y cuestionamiento son modulados por estructuras de poder interconectadas que están relacionadas con el género, la clase social, y la raza. Examina cómo estas interacciones participan de la reproducción de jerarquías de raza y de clase social arraigadas en la historia colonial a través del mantenimiento de polaridades de género que distinguen entre mujeres “respetables” y “deshonrosas,” una clasificación implícita en las categorías de casta vigentes en la época colonial. También indaga el papel de estas interacciones a la hora de mantener la correspondiente polaridad masculina entre hombres “protectores” y “agresores”. La investigación está basada en siete meses de trabajo de campo etnográfico e inmersivo que incluyó la observación de espacios públicos y más de 70 entrevistas semiestructuradas, además de metodologías innovadoras como entrevistas móviles y cartografía sensible. El trabajo de campo se realizó en 2018 y 2019, poco tiempo después de la firma de los acuerdos de paz entre el gobierno colombiano y el grupo FARC (Fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de Colombia) en 2016. Medellín se vio particularmente afectada por el conflicto armado pero recientemente ha logrado reinventarse como ciudad moderna e innovadora en la escena internacional. Este contexto da lugar a una de las líneas centrales de investigación de la tesis, que analiza cómo distintos organismos de control legales e ilegales (el gobierno municipal y los grupos armados organizados, respectivamente) condenan o participan, alternativamente, en el acoso de mujeres en los espacios públicos como medio para consolidar el control sobre los territorios y mantener determinados órdenes económicos y sociales

Abstract:

L'expansion urbaine est un phenomene socio-economique recent en colombie, elle a commence par le debordement spontane du cadre historique traditionnel, sans faire cas des degradations et des phenomenes naturels violents. L'expansion urbaine se traduit par un developpement de quartiers marginaux sur les pentes instables. La presence d'installations humaines sur ces terrains fragiles face a l'erosion ne fait qu'augmenter leur vulnerabilite et on assiste de plus en plus frequemment a des catastrophes. Les mouvements de masse, tels que les eboulements, les glissements de terrain, les affaissements avec coulees boueuses sont frequents dans les perimetres urbanises. Ils deplacent des materiaux meubles, a structure lache, sensibles a des affaissements et a des tassements. Ils recouvrent un substratum granodioritiques toujours altere et affecte par des glissements et des eboulements (medellin), ou encore des sediments a faible cohesion et sensible au ravinement (bucaramanga). Une planification urbaine preventive permettrait d'attenuer les effets nocifs des catastrophes The urban growth in colombia is a recent social and economical phenomenon, it began with the traditionnel historic city extend, without taking care of the degradation and the natural phenomenon. The urban growth translate itsels into slums in unstable sloppes. The presence of human installation on unstable soil face to erosion increase their vulnerability to disasters. Undulations, such as land-slides, subsidence with mud flow are frequent in the urban area. There move running soil, with looseness ground, sensitive to subsidence and tampings. There cover grano-dioritic substratum always deteriorate and affected by land-slides (medellin), or weak cohesion deposit and sensitive to gully (bucaramanga).

Abstract:

Le déplacement de population par la violence en Colombie est un phénomène de longue date qui n’a attiré l’attention de l’État qu’à partir des années 1990. Cependant, il existe dans l’opinion publique colombienne cette idée que les villes sont éloignées des actions des protagonistes armés d’envergure nationale et que les combats se déroulent exclusivement dans les zones rurales. Toutefois, la dynamique actuelle du conflit interne nous appelle à l’étude du déplacement à l’intérieur de la ville. La présence de groupes armés illégaux dans des secteurs urbains, leurs relations de coopération et d’antagonisme avec différents groupes de la délinquance ainsi que les affrontements avec la Force Publique, ont produit des déplacements forcés de population entre les différents quartiers d'une même ville. Nous nous sommes proposés de décrire et d’analyser le déplacement intra-urbain comme une nouvelle forme de violence urbaine, conséquence directe du conflit armé interne. Nous etudions le cas des villes de Medellín et Barrancabermeja Forced displacement is an issue which has affected Colombia for a long time, but which only drew the attention of the State in the 1990's. Although Colombian public opinion considers that cities are secluded from the actions of armed groups, both official and unofficial, and that combats between said groups belong exclusively to rural areas, the current dynamic of the conflict calls for us to study forced displacement inside urban areas. The presence of armed illegal groups in urban areas, their cooperation and clashes with several delinquency groups and their confrontations with the National Army and Police have produced the involuntary displacement of people within diverse districts of a same city. Taking into account the above, our research proposal is to describe and analyze intra-urban displacement as a new form of urban violence, a direct consequence of internal conflict. We have as case studies the cities of Medellín and Barrancabermeja

Abstract:

Cette recherche étudie l'histoire des imaginaires identitaires en Colombie, plus particulièrement dans la région d'Antioquia, au moyen des textes et des images que les élites intellectuelles installées généralement à Medellin produisirent entre 1830 et 1920. Nous avons découvert la présence constante d'un discours identitaire valorisant fortement "la race antioqueña". Nous proposons une recherche qui ne perde pas de vue les relations entre le local et le global, entre le régional, le national et l'international. C'est pour cela que nous nous sommes penchés sur la formation intellectuelle des élites en association avec leurs liens de parenté, avec les réseaux sociaux, les lieux( les villes- Medellin, cités américaines, cités européennes) et les pratiques ( l'écriture, l'éloge, l'hommage, les sociabilités) et leurs produits culturels (livres et images). Les élites intellectuelles que nous avons étudiées nous ont enseigné que l'idée de nation ne fut pas omniprésente. Elle nous ont amenés à penser que parfois, l'idée de région peut être plus puissante. En fait, les villes apparaissent comme les mondes concrets au nom desquels les hommes et les femmes construisent leur histoire. Nous avons donc pu conclure que, pour les élites du XIXe siècle, le "progrès" matériel des villes et les "processus civilisateurs" de la vie quotidienne furent plus importants que la formation de ce que l'on dénomma les Etats nationaux. Par conséquent, une certaine structure commune raccordait les villes concernées au "projet civilisateur". Mais, on peut parler aussi d'une histoire de regards entrelacés, de contacts entremêlés, tissés au rythme des va-et-vient des goûts, des pratiques, des idées et des hommes de l'Euroamérique attachés au grand idéal du XIXe siècle : la possession d'un puissant imaginaire identitaire est l'un des éléments les plus importants de cet idéal de "progrès et civilisation" This research deals with the history of imaginaires identitaires in Colombia, particulary in the Antioquia region as seen though the texts and images that the intellectual elites, mostly located in Medellin, produced between 1830 and 1920. We have discovered the constant presence of an identity discourse which strongly emphasized "the Antioqueña race". We propose a research which does not overlook the relationship between the local, global, regional, national and international dimensions. That is why we have focused on the intellectual formation of the elites taught us that the idea of nation was not overwhelmingly present. They led us to think that the idea of region may sometimes be more powerful. In fact, the cities appear as the concrete worlds in the name of which men and women build their history. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that, for the elites of the nineteenth century, the material "progress" of the cities and the "civilizing processes" of everyday life were more important than the formation of what was known as national states. Consequently, a certain common structure linked the cities concerned to the "civilizing project". But one can also speak a long history of exchanged glances and contacts which developed according to the comings and goings of tastes, practices, ideas and of the people of Euroamerica who were attached to the great ideal of the nineteenth century : having a powerful imaginaire identitaire, which is one of the most crucial components of this idea of "progress and civilisation"

Abstract:

A Medellín (Colombie), l’art sous ses différentes expressions, a été un outil de transformation socioculturelle pour cette ville touchée fortement par la violence dans les années 1980 et 1990 notamment au cœur des quartiers vulnérables, à cause de la guerre menée par les divers groupes armés dont celui du narcotrafic mais aussi par d'autres groupes délinquants. Ainsi, en 1991, des leaders communautaires, des artistes et des citoyens, ont eu l’idée de créer des stratégies de résolution du conflit à travers des expressions artistiques telles que la comparsa avec pour but la réappropriation de leur territoire et le retour au calme de leurs quartiers. A cet effet, plusieurs manifestations artistiques ont eu lieu dans ces quartiers vulnérables, les participants ont réussi à traverser des rues signalées comme des frontières invisibles (Gouëset, 1992) et ont obtenu des résultats favorables pour la communauté. Ces événements ont été gérés par divers groupes artistiques de la ville et ont ouvert la voie au dialogue pour des négociations de paix avec les groupes délinquants. Aujourd’hui, les groupes artistiques sont toujours présents dans ces quartiers vulnérables et continuent à travailler pour la transformation sociale et culturelle de leur territoire (Gumucio, 2011). Il faut souligner que les gestionnaires culturels en charge de ces organisations sont des amateurs, ils ont appris le métier en le pratiquant. Plusieurs éléments de faiblesse ont été détectés au niveau des actions de la gestion culturelle qu’ils ont implanté. Rappelons ici que la gestion culturelle en Amérique Latine est un sujet relativement nouveau, qui a fait ses débuts dans les années 1990 et ce n’est que dans les années 2000 que l'efficacité de ses démarches commence à être reconnue.Cependant le but de cette recherche porte sur les analyses scientifiques de l’état des lieux de la gestion culturelle et ses actions dans ces quartiers vulnérables pendant les trois dernières décennies. Ainsi, dans un premier temps nous allons explorer tout le travail effectué en faveur de la transformation sociale des communautés. Par la suite nous centrerons notre recherche sur les actions de la gestion culturelle que ces groupes ont implanté. Cette étude se fait à l’issue des analyses sur les programmes de formation en gestion culturelle offerts. Nous finirons cette étude, avec une caractérisation possible du profil du gestionnaire culturel idéal pour les organisations artistiques et culturelles, visant la transformation sociale des territoires vulnérables In Medellín, Colombia, art through its various forms has been a way of socio-cultural transformation of the city badly harmed by violence during the eighties and nineties, in particular in fragile parts of the city, because of the war between groups involved in narcotrafficking and other offending gangs. Due to this in 1991 community leaders, artists and citizens thought of developing strategies to solve violence problems through various ways involving artistic and cultural matters such as comparsa so as to regain foot on their territories as well as sowing peace in their sections of the city. Thus several manifestation occurred in fragile sections and the people succeeded in crossing streets reknown for being invisible boundaries (Gouëset, 1992) and obtained positive results for the community. Theseevents were organized by various artistic groups of the city and opened the way to dialogue for peace negociations with these offending groups. Today, these art groups are still presentin these sensitive areas and still work for the social and cultural transformation of theirterritory.Most of the cultural managers responsible for these organisations are amateurs: they learned their job through praxis. Nevertheless, several weak elements were detected at the level of the cultural aspects they introduced. One should note that the problem of culture in Latin America is relatively new : it was initiated in the 1990’s and just in the 2000’s its function is beginning to be recongnized. Today, these art groups are still present in these fragile sections of the city and still work for the social and cultural transformation of their territory (Gumucio, 2011).Yet the aim of this research centers on the scientific analysis of the management of culture and how it has acted during the last three decades. Hence, first we shall explore the work carried out in view of social and communal transformations. We then center ourresearch on the means used to implant these new cultural aspects. This study also considersthe cultural training required and finally, the ideal cultural profile of the managers who aim at social transformation of vulnerable districts

Abstract:

La Colombie des années 1980 est livrée à la violence des narcotrafiquants, des sicaires, des paramilitaires, des guérillas, de l'Armée. La ville de Médellin ajoute à ce phénomène un climat social déliquescent. De cette situation surgit un nouveau langage qui prend les proportions d'un dialecte social, le " parlache ", que s'approprie la littérature narrative testimoniale pour réécrire l'histoire et donner une voix à ses victimes. Cette étude se propose de caractériser la société colombienne à travers les relations complexes entre son économie, sa politique et son comportement social, elle présente aussi ses acquis littéraires. Nous analysons la littérature actuelle en nous attardant sur le genre testimonial. Nous nous intéressons par la suite au caractère réaliste et postmoderne du roman. Nous démontrons l'implication des transformations sociales dans la construction et l'expansion du nouveau langage en l'illustrant par des textes. Le glossaire permettra de les comprendre. Colombia of the 80's was entirely at the mercy of the violence of drug traffickers, hired killers, paramilitaries, guerrilla warfare and the army. Added to this phenomena was the decaying social climate of the town of Medellin. A new language arose from this situation, one which took on the proportions of a social dialect, a type of 'speak' which testimonial narrative literature adopted to rewrite history and give its victims a voice. This study aims to portray Colombian Society through its complex relationship with its economy, its politics and its social behaviour, but also through its literary characteristics. We shall analyze current literature, with a particular slant on the testimonial genre. We shall go on to deal with the realistic and post-modern aspects of the novel. The implications of the social transformations in the construction and development of new language will be demonstrated and illustrated through the use of selected texts.

Abstract:

Dans les années 1990, les quartiers informels d’Amérique du Sud sont officiellement reconnus comme des entités constitutives de la ville. Une série d’infrastructures de transport collectif est alors implantée, afin d’intégrer ces quartiers enclavés au reste de la ville. La mise en place de systèmes conventionnels ayant été empêchée par la forte déclivité des sites, des solutions innovantes de type téléphérique, funiculaire, ascenseur et escaliers mécaniques sont imaginées. Connectant ces territoires au réseau de transport en commun de la ville et diminuant les temps de trajets internes, le Metrocable de Medellín (2004) et le téléphérique du Complexe de l’Alemão à Rio de Janeiro (2011) permettent d’améliorer (en partie) les conditions de mobilité des habitants. On constate cependant que les nombreuses expropriations et délocalisations que ces projets étatiques engendrent, conduisent une partie de la population à s’opposer à la réalisation d’autres projets du même type. Peut-on alors considérer que l’implantation de ce type d’infrastructures, soit garante d’un accès plus égalitaire à la ville ? La persistance du transport informel et coopératif à desservir certains quartiers de Medellín et de Rio, semble aller à l’encontre de cette première observation. Opéré par des vans, des kombis, des carritos (taxis collectifs) et des motos-taxis, ce réseau se caractérise par sa capacité à infiltrer la microéchelle urbaine, tout en relayant les transports de masse. Ce principe de complémentarité tend vers une desserte homogène des échelles globale et locale de la ville. Pour autant, est-ce que l’irrigation rhizomique du territoire en transport est une condition inhérente au droit à la ville ? Permet-elle de lutter efficacement contre la fragmentation et la ségrégation sociospatiale ? Définit-elle une stratégie urbaine contribuant à un développement plus durable des villes ? La recherche pose comme hypothèse que la reconnaissance des quartiers informels comme entités constitutives de la ville ne passerait pas par un processus d’urbanisation traditionnel visant à leur intégration, mais plutôt par la préservation de la condition urbaine qui leur est spécifique et des systèmes auto-organisationnels qui les régissent. La lutte contre la ségrégation sociale ne passerait donc pas nécessairement par la lutte contre la fragmentation spatiale, en ce sens que la diversité des entités disparates qui constituent les villes contemporaines peut être considérée comme une plus-value nécessaire afin d’imaginer leurs futurs. L’étude du contexte sud-américain a révélé en ce sens que le renforcement d’un certain degré d’autonomie de ces quartiers, en termes économiques, culturels, éducatifs, etc., était un moyen supplémentaire d’agir en faveur de leur intégration, sans imposer de pratiques issues d’une vision top-down peu adaptée au contexte local In the 1990s, informal settlements in South America are officially recognized as constitutive entities of the city. A series of public transport infrastructures is then implanted to integrate these enclaved settlements with the rest of the city. The implementation of conventional systems having been prevented by the strong declivity of the sites, innovative solutions like cable car, funicular, elevator and escalators are imagined. Connecting these territories to the city's public transport network and reducing internal travel times, the Medellín Metrocable (2004) and the Alemão Complex cable car in Rio de Janeiro (2011) improve (in part) the mobility conditions of the inhabitants. However, we note that the many expropriations and relocations that these state projects generate, lead some of the population to oppose the realization of other projects of the same type. So, can we consider that the establishment of this type of infrastructure ensures a more equal access to the city?The persistence of informal transport to operate in the Alemão Complex, despite the existence of the cable car, seems to run counter to this first hypothesis. Operated by motorcycle taxi and vehicles adapted to the transport of passengers (Van and Kombi type), this network is characterized by its ability to infiltrate the urban microscale, while relaying mass transport. This principle of complementarity irrigates homogeneously the global and local scales of the city. However, is the rhizomic irrigation of the territory in transport a condition inherent to the right to mobility and the right to the city? Does it effectively fight sociospatial fragmentation and segregation? Does it define an urban strategy contributing to a more sustainable development of cities?The research assumes that the recognition of the informal neighborhoods as constitutive entities of the city would not be realized by a traditional urbanization process for their integration, but rather by the preservation of their specific urban condition and the self-organizational systems which govern them. The fight against social segregation would not necessarily involve the fight against spatial fragmentation, in that the diversity of the disparate entities that constitute contemporary cities can be considered as a necessary added value in order to imagine their futures. The study of the south american context revealed in this sense that the reinforcement of a certain degree of autonomy of these neighborhoods, in economic, cultural, educational, and other terms, was an additional way to act in favor of their integration, without imposing a top-down vision that is not adapted to the local context

(Introdução) DÉFINITION DU SUJET Ce mémoire propose une étude sur la transformation territoriale de Medellín, Colombie. Cette ville a eu une importante croissance sociale et touristique grâce au développement de ses infrastructures de transport public durant les trois dernières décennies. Avec l’installation du Système de Transport Intégré de la Vallée d’Aburrá, qui comprend l’unique métro du pays (qui s’est imposé comme l’un des plus modernes, efficaces et propres de la planète) et les téléphériques qui connectent les populations les plus éloignées dans les versants des montagnes avec le centre de la ville, Medellín est devenue un grand référant latino-américain sur beaucoup d’aspects et de nombreuses personnes y viennent du monde entier. Il y a de plus en plus de touristes et il est nécessaire de planifier une accessibilité au système ainsi qu’une communication adéquate pour accompagner les visiteurs, tout en préservant son utilisation par les habitants de la ville eux-mêmes. En raison du fait que Medellín n’est pas une ville historique principale, si ce n’est quelques bâtiments d’importance historique et architecturale dont certains ont été conçus par des architectes européens, il n’y a pas de centre patrimonial trop grand à protéger. C’est pourquoi il semble possible et nécessaire de réussir à faire coexister les expressions patrimoniales et l’identité locale, spécialement dans le centre-ville, avec l’infrastructure de la ville dédiée au public local et étranger....

Abstract:

Les processus de globalisation, régionalisation et décentralisation ont eu des effets sur les dynamiques locales, nationales et internationales, provoquant une participation plus élevée des entités subétatiques sur la scène internationale. Cette action, pouvant être encouragée par l'incapacité du gouvernement central à satisfaire les intérêts des autorités locales sur la scène nationale et internationale, ainsi que par divers éléments politico-administratifs, culturels et économiques, est devenue un phénomène prenant de plus en plus d'ampleur et de reconnaissance. Elle s'est constituée comme une initiative se déployant non seulement sur le continent européen mais aussi sur d'autres zones géographiques, comme l'Amérique latine. Ces actions ont atteint une portée et un intérêt à des dynamiques non seulement régionales mais aussi mondiales, en faveur des intérêts de l'échelle locale. Dans ce volet international, les collectivités territoriales ont projeté, d'une part, à travers des différents outils (individuels et/ou collectifs), des actions stratégiques contribuant à leur développement local et, d'autre part, des actions leur permettant de coopérer et de conquérir des espaces significatifs sur des scènes supérieures, ainsi que de se consolider comme des acteurs incontournables dans des processus et sur des scènes régionales et mondiales importants. Cette insertion des gouvernements non centraux sur la scène internationale, accompagnée de la mise en valeur de l'échelle locale, de l'ouverture d'espaces et d'une évolution du discours international concernant leur rôle dans les problématiques mondiales, régionales et nationales, est un élément permettant de designer le début d'un changement du paysage du système international. Ce travail étudie l'émergence des nouveaux acteurs sur la scène internationale et particulièrement la projection internationale des gouvernements locaux sur cette arène. Dans ce contexte, nous avons également identifié le processus d'engagement et de mise en place de ce type d'actions par des villes de différentes parties du monde, notamment, les activités développées par Barcelone, en Espagne, et Medellín, en Colombie. De plus, nous nous sommes intéressés à la reconnaissance et l'insertion des collectivités territoriales à des structures supérieures dans des cadres régionaux et mondiaux, comme le Mercosur et l'ONU. Ceci a été réalisé, en partie, à travers d'une action collective de villes et d'une organisation réticulaire, comme les réseaux Mercociudades et CGLU The processes of globalization, regionalization and decentralization have created different effects on local dynamics, national and international, causing a higher participation of sub-state entities in the international arena. This action, which may be encouraged by the central government's inability to meet the interests of local authorities on the national and international scene, as well as various political and administrative elements, cultural and economic, has become a phenomenon increasingly taken with greater importance and recognition. This has established an initiative that has spread not only on the European continent but also other geographical areas, such as Latin America. These actions have achieved great traction and interest in a dynamic regarding not only regional but also global in the interests of the local sphere. In this international front, local authorities have projected, on the one hand, through different tools (individual and / or collective), strategic actions contributing to local development, on the other hand, actions that allow them to cooperate and conquer significant spaces on top scenes and consolidated as essential players in processes and important regional and global scenes. This inclusion of non-central governments on the international scene, accompanied by the appreciation of the local sphere, the opening of spaces and an evolution of the international discourse about their role in global issues, regional and national, is an element to project the beginning of a change in the landscape of the international system. This paper studies the emergence of new actors on the international scene and particularly the international influence of local governments on this arena. In this context, we have also identified the process of commitment and implementation of such actions by cities around the world, particularly the activities of Barcelona in Spain, and Medellín in Colombia . Additionally, we have been concerned about the recognition and inclusion of local government in higher structures within regional and global frameworks, such as Mercosur and the UN. This has been done, in part, through the collective action of cities and a network organization, such as networks of Mercociudades and UCLG

Abstract:

La technologie aérienne par câble tend à s’imposer dans nos villes en tant que transport en commun. Nommément cité dans le Grenelle de l’Environnement dès 2007 comme mode de transport alternatif au tout carboné, le transport aérien par câble, qui connait déjà des développements concrets en France, se propose d’être un maillon potentiel des mobilités durables. Le succès rencontré en Amérique Latine depuis une dizaine d’années, permet aujourd’hui d’observer les impacts engendrés, tant positifs que négatifs, et les « stratégies » d’acceptabilité sociale exprimées. Le caractère innovant, en milieu urbain français, de ce type de transport a généré le besoin d’étudier les perceptions et représentations des acteurs concernés, afin d’en déduire leur niveau d’acceptabilité : il s’agit du sujet de cette thèse. Il a également semblé pertinent d’évaluer l’acceptation sociale a posteriori de ce type d’infrastructure afin d’en analyser les représentations et usages. A travers des enquêtes qualitatives et quantitatives, cette thèse se propose d’étudier trois téléphériques urbains en service, à New York, Bolzano et Medellín, ainsi que la propension à l’usage dans l’espace francilien. La mise en perspective internationale a permis, en partie, de mettre en lumière les corrélations entre les différentes installations, l’importance de l’histoire de chaque territoire et le nécessaire besoin d’implication et de reconnaissance sociale des habitants. L’analyse approfondie des représentations et des revendications intéressant ce mode, révèle de très fortes similitudes avec celles constatées sur d’autres types d’aménagements. Ceci nous a amène à nous interroger davantage sur la conception de projets urbains intégrés que sur l’objet en lui-même. Ainsi, ces travaux, menés dans le cadre de cette thèse mais également dans le cadre d’un projet de R&D conduit par le consortium I2TC, rassemblant des acteurs du monde industriel et du monde académique, proposent quelques clés pour l’accompagnement des futurs porteurs de projets dans la conception et la réalisation de projets fidèles aux représentations et aux besoins des acteurs concernés Aerial cable technology is developing in our cities as public transit. Namely mentioned in the Grenelle de l'Environnement as soon as 2007 as an alternative to all carbon transport modes, cable cars, which are already showing substantial progress in France, aim to be a potential link in sustainable mobility. The success achieved in Latin America over the past ten years enables us today to observe the impacts, both positive and negative, and the "strategies" of social acceptability expressed. The ingenious nature of this type of transport in French urban areas has generated the need to study the perceptions and representations of the actors concerned in order to deduce their level of acceptance: this is the subject of this thesis. It also seemed relevant to evaluate the subsequent social acceptance of this type of infrastructure in order to analyze its representations and uses. Through qualitative and quantitative surveys, this thesis aims to study three urban cable cars in service in New York, Bolzano and Medellín, as well as the propensity for it to be used in the Ile-de-France region.The international perspective has made it possible, to some extent, to highlight the correlations between the different installations, the importance of the history of each territory and the need for the involvement and social recognition of the inhabitants. An in-depth analysis of the representations and claims regarding cable air transport reveals very strong similarities with those observed for other types of transportation constructions. This has led us to question more the design of integrated urban projects than the object itself. Therefore, this work, carried out within the framework of this thesis but also within the framework of a research and development project led by the I2TC consortium, bringing together industrial, academic and scientific actors, offers several key elements to support future project leaders in the design and implementation of projects true to the representations and needs of the actors concerned

Abstract:

Les politiques à l'égard de l'habitat illégal jouent un rôle central dans l'effort de réduction de la pauvreté à l'échelle locale et nationale ; étant donné que la pauvreté devient de plus en plus un phénomène urbain. Cependant; la réduction de la pauvreté est rarement définie comme objectif principal des politiques des bidonvilles; mais est une conséquence indirecte de leur application. Cette thèse a comme objectif l'amélioration de la compréhension des effets des politiques à l'égard des bidonvilles sur le bien-être des ménages. Deux cas d'études sont abordés: le Schéma de Réhabilitation des Bidonvilles (SRB) à Mumbai (Inde) et les Projets Urbains Intégraux (PUI) à Medellin (Colombie). Entre autre; nous répondons aux questions suivantes : Quelles sont les causes de la mobilité résidentielle post-réhabilitation ? Quels sont les impacts de la SRB sur l'accès au crédit ? Quels sont les effets des projets de renouvellement urbain sur le niveau de consolidation des logements ? Nous utilisons des méthodologies récentes d'économie empirique permettant de comparer des groupes bénéficiaires des politiques à des groupes non-bénéficiaires. Dans le cas de Mumbai, une enquête a été réalisée par l'auteur auprès de 510 ménages dans 9 bidonvilles cibles de la politique SRB; celle-ci ayant été mise en place dans quatre d'entre eux. Dans le cas de Medellin trois sources d'information ont été utilisés (L'Enquête Qualité de Vie; l'Enquête Medellin Solidaria et l'Enquête SISBEN) permettant le suivi d'un ensemble de bénéficiaires et de non-bénéficiaires des politiques; avant et après les opérations de rénovation urbaine Slum policies play an important role in poverty alleviation efforts at the local scale and at the national scale - as poverty becomes increasingly 'urban' phenomena. However, poverty reduction is rarely positioned as the main objective of slum policies and, when occurring, is an indirect result of their application. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a more complete understanding of how slum policies affect households' welfare. To explore these issues, two slum-upgrading interventions are used as case studies: the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme in Mumbai (India) and Urban Integral Projects in Medellin (Colombia). This research has addressed issues ranging from the causes of post-rehabilitation residential mobility to the impacts of slum rehabilitation on households' access to credit as well as the effects of Urban Renewal Projects on housing consolidation. We used recent evolution in empirical economics methodologies that allow comparing policy beneficiaries to non-beneficiaries. In the case of Mumbai a household's survey was carried out by the author in 9 slum pockets, 4 of which had already been rehabilitated and 5 to-be rehabilitated slums. In the case of Medellin household level information was obtained from three secondary sources (the Quality of Life Survey, the Medellin Solidaria Survey and the SISBEN Survey) that allowed following a set of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries before and after Urban Renewal Projects took place

Abstract:

La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo analizar los mecanismos mediante los cuales se generan nuevos significados en el argot de la ciudad de Medellín (Colombia), conocido como parlache. Para ello se conformó un corpus lexicográfico extraído al contrastar el lemario del Diccionario de Parlache (Castañeda & Henao, 2005) con el del Diccionario de la Real Academia Española (DRAE) (2003). Tras la eliminación de homónimos y entradas iguales, se analizaron las unidades que han desarrollado un nuevo significado en el parlache derivado de alguno de los significados registrados en el DRAE y se establecieron y analizaron en detalle los mecanismos semánticos (metáfora, metonimia, etc.) mediante los cuales se generaron los significados argóticos. Con base en los resultados, se identificaron tendencias en la utilización de los mecanismos y sub-mecanismos mediante los cuales se generan nuevos significados, se compararon los resultados con estudios similares en lengua inglesa y se presentan líneas de trabajo a futuro. L’objectiu de la present tesi doctoral és analitzar els mecanismes mitjançant els quals es generen els nous significats dins l’argot de la ciutat de Medellín (Colòmbia), conegut com parlache. Amb aquest objectiu, es va conformar un corpus lexicogràfic extret mitjançant el contrast del lemari del Diccionario de Parlache (Castañeda & Henao, 2005) amb el del Diccionario de la Real Academia Española (DRAE) (2003). Després d’eliminar els homònims i les entrades que coincidien en la seva totalitat, es van analitzar les unitats que han desenvolupat un nou significat dins del parlache el qual s’ha derivat d’algun dels significats enregistrats al DRAE, i es van establir i analitzar en detall els mecanismes semàntics (metàfora, metonímia, etc.) mitjançant els quals es van generar els significats argòtics. A partir dels resultats, es van identificar tendències en la utilització dels mecanismes i sub-mecanismes pels quals es generen nous significats, es van comparar els resultats amb els d’estudis semblants en llengua anglesa, i es presenten línies de treball a futur. The main goal of this doctoral thesis is to analyze the semantic mechanisms operating in the development of new senses in the slang of Medellín (Colombia) known as parlache. To that end, a lexicographical corpus has been compiled through comparison of the lemma list of the Diccionario de Parlache (Castañeda & Henao, 2005) with the lemma list of the Spanish Royal Academy’s Dictionary (DRAE) (2003). After eliminating homonyms and entries the meaning of which was the same in both dictionaries, a thorough study was performed on units that have developed a new meaning in the slang of Medellín derived from a standard meaning previously registered in the DRAE. Thus, the semantic mechanisms (e.g. metaphor, metonymy) through which new slang meanings have been developed were analyzed in detail. Based on the study’s results, tendencies in the use of new sense-generating mechanisms and sub-mechanisms were identified. Additionally, the results were compared to those from similar studies in English. Finally, new avenues of work and research are suggested.

Quant a la genese de la classe ouvriere, il s'agissait surtout de femmes jeunes et celibataires. L'industrialisation restreinte a certaines regions du pays et a certains secteurs(industries de biens de consommation) amena avec elle la conservation et le renforcement de l'economie parcellaire paysanne specialisee dans la culture du cafe.

Abstract:

Microcredits is a widely researched topic within development research, however it seems like little research is done on how it helps to empower prisoners’ wives. The literature is mixed, with both positive and negative results of microfinance as a contributor to development, and the most known research on prisoners’ wives is almost 30 years old. This study shows the link between microfinance and empowerment of prisoners’ wives in Medellín, Colombia, a country with a high crime rate and overpopulated prisons. The study was conducted in Medellín through qualitative interviews with 19 borrowers, the head of the microfinance project of one organization, and a prison pastor. From these interviews, the women seem to have been empowered financially, as well as with human resources. Microcredits provided to these women seem to make it possible for prisoners’ wives to fulfil some of their dreams and achievement by running a business, however it doesn’t seem to give them much increase in the social sphere. This study is not just an addition to others within the field of microfinance, but also an investigation to see whether microfinance is a contributor to women empowerment in families where the male partner is not present, and in what ways.

Abstract:

This master thesis investigated the availability of raw materials for biogas production in the city of Medellín, Colombia. By first studying the development of biogas and its use as a vehicle fuel in the city of Linköping, Sweden, a comparison was made in order to focus on high-yield substrates. The objective was to calculate potential production given the amounts and types of substrates found locally and comparing it with the estimated demand of a local bus fleet that is planned to run on natural gas. The assessment of the raw materials was made in situ. The planned sources were visited in order to get information that would be later on analyzed for estimating its production potential. These sources were originally a municipal wastewater treatment plant, two slaughterhouses and two biodiesel plants. The wastewater treatment plant is already producing biogas, resulting from the treatment of sludge in anaerobic digesters. Nevertheless, calculations showed that current production is around 54% that of theoretical potential. Regarding the slaughterhouse, several important flows were detected, although some of them would not be currently available for biogas production, as they already have a defined use. The case for biodiesel production in the city was not very successful, as the two plants that were planned to be analyzed, have not started operations yet. However, some assumptions were made and some figures were calculated for further conclusions and analyses. During the visit, some other interesting sources were detected and were included in this report, such as another wastewater treatment plant, two fruits and vegetables markets, two landfills and biodiesel production in other areas. Several interesting points were discussed and analyzed through a comparison of the two cities. Drivers, barriers, actors, raw materials and production capacity were summarized and compared, resulting on reflections and conclusions. The results were also interesting, showing that the biogas potential at the two wastewater treatment plants would be enough to fuel the system and that if the other sources were to be used, excess biogas would be available for other uses, e.g. private cars or injection into the natural gas grid. Det här examensarbetet undersöker tillgången på råvaror för biogasproduktion i Medellín, Colombia. Genom att först studera utvecklingen av biogas och dess användning som bilbränsle i Linköping, Sverige, gjordes en jämförelse för att fokusera på hög substrat avkastning. Syftet var att beräkna möjlig produktion utifrån de mängder och typer av substrat som går att finna lokalt, och därefter jämföra detta med ett bussbolags uppskattade efterfrågan av naturgas. Värdering av råvaror gjordes in situ. De planerade källorna besöktes för att få information som senare kan analyseras för att värdera dess produktionsmöjlighet. Källorna var ursprungligen ett avloppsreningsverk, två slakterier och två biodiesel produktionsverk. Avloppsreningsverket producerar redan biogas, med vattenrengöring på anaeroba slam digestorer. Trots detta visade beräkningar att nuvarande produktion utgjorde ungefär 54% av den teoretiska möjligheten. I fråga om slakteriet, upptäcktes flera viktiga flöden, även om några inte skulle vara tillgängliga för biogasproduktion, då de redan användes för något annat. Studien om biodiesel produktionen i staden var inte lyckad, eftersom de två produktionsanläggningarna som skulle analyseras, ännu inte startat sina verksamheter. Dock var några antaganden gjorda och några siffror beräknade för ytterligare slutsatser och analyser. Under besöken upptäcktes några andra intressanta källor, så som andra avloppsreningsverket, två frukt- och grönsaksmarknader, två soptippar samt biodiesel produktion i andra områden. Flera intressanta punkter har diskuterats och analyserats genom jämförelsen mellan de två städerna. Förare, hinder, aktörer, råvaror och produktionskapacitet sammanfattades och jämfördes, vilket resulterat i reflektioner och slutsatser. Resultatet var också intressant, då det visar att potentialen för biometan på de två reningsverken skulle vara tillräcklig för att driva systemet, samt om andra källor användes skulle det finnas överskott på biometan för annan användning, t.ex. personbilar eller injektioner i naturgasnätet.

Abstract:

In Latin America, the post-war period marked a significant epoch of architectural and urbanist experimentation of modernist ideas coming from the other side of the Atlantic. This was the case in Medellín, Colombia and the Functional City approach by CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Modern, in English: International Congresses of Modern Architecture) which conceptualises “the four urban functions,” proposed in the Athens Charter as decisive city planning principles: living, working, recreation and circulation. However, by the late 1950s (with the dissolution of CIAM) and the subsequent decade (1960s) CIAM’s ideas started losing credibility and support. While modernist urbanism was declining, large-scale economic-oriented approaches by international agencies permeated the formulation of development plans. This was the case with the planning approach proposed for Colombia by BIRF (Inter-American Bank for Reconstruction and Development) based on industrial production. These approaches led to (ongoing) transformations in the Colombian urbanist approach, concentrating on socio-economic development. Despite these transformations and in contrary to local urbanists’ impression that CIAM principles have been surpassed decades ago, the dissertation argues that Functional City principles continue to shape Medellin’s urban development today. The research involves a historical study of CIAM, its philosophy (especially regarding urban design – Functional City) its application and ‘’centre of gravity’’ relocation to Latin America, where this approach has been implemented over last 60 years. Consequently, a comparative case study, based on historical primary and secondary sources was undertaken. The Functional City plans of three cities were analysed: Buenos Aires (1938-9), Bogotá (1953), and Brasília (1957). Subsequently, an in-depth case study of Medellín, Colombia, including recent plans was carried out. It was based mainly on primary data sources; local historical archives (original plans and reports), which produced a unique set of evidence that was supported through interviews with key participants and direct researcher’s observations. This study contributes to a better understanding of current urbanisation patterns In Latin America. Furthermore, this study will invite reflection and public debate over questions such as: urbanization for whom/against whom and who decides? Particularly, it provides indicators for a desirable future course of action in Colombian urban planning that would benefit directly local and national authorities. This benefit would be through the provision of new insights and evidence to enable their work supporting resource management and sustainable urban development. Moreover, this will contribute to the design of effective policy and practice for facilitating longer-term development in ways that are positive for the population, which may well have applicability to other cities in Latin America.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University The goal of this study is to determine if strontium isotope analysis (87Sr/86Sr) is useful when applied to modern dental enamel samples, specifically from Medellín, Colombia. Strontium isotope analysis has been used extensively in the archaeological literature with only a few studies in the forensic literature. There is a need for identification of individuals whose remains are found in Colombia, due to the conflict that has taken thousands of lives. Samples from 75 teeth of 61 individuals were taken to determine the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio. The samples were processed using a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) at Boston University in the Earth Science Department. The overall mean (87Sr/86Sr) = 0.70739 +/- 0.00159. The results are inconclusive, it was found that there is no significant difference between isotope ratios in different regions of Colombia. This indicates that more samples from other geographic locations in Colombia are needed to accurately sort populations in Colombia. Modernization, specifically imported food has an effect on strontium isotope ratios in dental enamel of individuals; this method needs to be tested with other modern populations in order to conclusively state that it does not work with modern populations.

Abstract:

Medellin con tre milioni e mezzo di abitanti è la seconda città della Repubblica di Colombia. È situata nella Cordigliera Centrale delle Ande settentrionali, distesa nello stretto Valle de Aburrá. All’interno del panorama sudamericano, è una città in rapidissima trasformazione e il mutamento economico, sociale e urbano avviene attraverso progetti di intervento nelle comunità dei quartieri a tutti i livelli. Questo studio, frutto di una ricerca etnografica sul campo, tratta della trasformazione dello spazio urbano all’interno di due contesti di quartiere, il barrio Santo Domingo Savio e il barrio El Chagualo, e dell’impatto che le trasformazioni hanno sui suoi abitanti. I progetti di trasformazione del tessuto urbano, nella forma del Parque Biblioteca España (Santo Domingo Savio) costruito nel 2006 e della progettazione del Distrito Medellinovation (El Chagualo), sono presi come caso studio situati per analizzare come all’interno del peculiare contesto urbano di Medellin l’architettura e l’urbanistica si configurino non solo come agenti di trasformazione fisica e sociale, ma anche come forme di definizione di potere nel territorio urbano. Lo studio si inserisce all’interno del discorso e del quadro teorico contemporaneo dell’antropologia urbana e dell’antropologia dello spazio. Viene dato spazio alla contestualizzazione geografica della città e al suo sviluppo storico generale, considerando la città, la sua collocazione e il suo sviluppo come unitari nell’analisi.

Dá conta das práticas exercidas pelos distintos atores sociais — armados não armados — na regulação da violência e expressa a correspondência entre essas práticas e os significados que possibilitam a formação dessas outras ordens sociais. O centro é a regulação como mecanismo de variação da violência armada urbana, o que implica responder à pergunta: é a violência e a sua regulação uma forma de ordenar a vida social em bairros da periferia de Medellín? Sob um enfoque relacional da violência coletiva (TILLY, 2007), o trabalho de campo foi feito por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas de atores armados e não armados vinculados no processo de interação violenta. Partindo das fontes de poder social (MANN, 1986), optou-se por dividir em três atores de poder: o ator armado (poder militar); o ator econômico (poder econômico); e o ator social (poder de organização social). Nesses atores, sustenta-se a base da regulação da violência armada urbana em Moravia, e portanto a indagação das significações e das práticas orientaram-se principalmente neles Esta tesis tiene como objetivo principal analizar la violencia urbana y su regulación como forma de poder y organización social, que permita la construcción de sentidos y prácticas constitutivas de un “otro orden social” en el barrio Moravia de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia instituida en los últimos veinte años.

yes Este documento de investigación del ICPS es un reporte final de un proceso de cuatro años, en el que se realizaron visitas de intercambio entre oficiales de policía de dos distintos pero problemáticos contextos urbanos, así como una reflexión académica sobre lo que nos enseñó acerca de la construcción de seguridad en tales contextos. Esperamos estimular una mayor discusión en el campo académico y en el diseño de políticas para sobrepasar los obstáculos a la construcción de seguridad en nuestras ciudades en formas que contribuyan al bienestar, la paz y la justicia social. Nuestro trabajo en el Centro Internacional de Estudios en Participación de la Universidad de Bradford se concentra especialmente en el estudio de cómo mejores condiciones de seguridad pueden promover y permitirle a la comunidad tener un rol completo en la vida pública. Creemos que la seguridad debe estar en el centro de los estudios de paz con sólidas dimensiones teóricas y prácticas. Este no es un concepto que deba ser dejado a los pensadores conservadores cuya principal preocupación son el orden y la estabilidad. La seguridad crea ambientes que posibilitan cambios sociales positivos y progreso humano.

Abstract:

Although drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) exist and have an effect on health, crime, economies, and politics, little research has explored these entities as political organizations. Legal interest groups and movements have been found to influence domestic and international politics because they operate within legal parameters. Illicit groups, such as DTOs, have rarely been accounted for—especially in the literature on interest groups—though they play a measurable role in affecting domestic and international politics in similar ways. Using an interest group model, this dissertation analyzed DTOs as illicit interest groups (IIGs) to explain their political influence. The analysis included a study of group formation, development, and demise that examined IIG motivation, organization, and policy impact. The data for the study drew from primary and secondary sources, which include interviews with former DTO members and government officials, government documents, journalistic accounts, memoirs, and academic research. To illustrate the interest group model, the study examined Medellin-based DTO leaders, popularly known as the “Medellin Cartel.” In particular, the study focused on the external factors that gave rise to DTOs in Colombia and how Medellin DTOs reacted to the implementation of counternarcotics efforts. The discussion was framed by the implementation of the 1979 Extradition Treaty negotiated between Colombia and the United States. The treaty was significant because as drug trafficking became the principal bilateral issue in the 1980s; extradition became a major method of combating the illicit drug business. The study’s findings suggested that Medellin DTO leaders had a one-issue agenda and used a variety of political strategies to influence public opinion and all three branches of government—the judicial, the legislative, and the executive—in an effort to invalidate the 1979 Extradition Treaty. The changes in the life cycle of the 1979 Extradition Treaty correlated with changes in the political power of Medellin-based DTOs vis-à-vis the Colombian government, and international forces such as the U.S. government’s push for tougher counternarcotics efforts.

Abstract:

This study aims to identify barriers to access and participation of adult internally displaced persons (IDPs) within the metropolitan area of Medellin, Colombia, as perceived by a sample of advisors, administrators and educators working with this population. Displacement often presents substantial barriers to education and IDPs fulfilling their human rights. These barriers and their underlying structures are analysed and compared to Cross' (1981) situational, institutional and dispositional categories, as well as corresponding the data to Maslow’s (1943) 5-scale Hierarchy of Needs. The study found a variety of reasons why IDPs do not participate in education, and complex networks between these, which could be mapped to Maslow’s and Cross’ theoretical models. Lack of resources, cost/ benefit choices (both economically and in terms of time) and family obligations figure as much as poor prior study experience, literacy skills and confidence in one's own abilities. This is not surprising, and agrees with the literature regarding adult education of this population. This study aims to contribute to a complex model of deterrents to participation. A full model could be combined with existing knowledge to form a dynamic model of participation in adult education of the IDP population.

El desenvolupament de la comunicació mòbil a partir de l'aparició de la telefonia cel • lular, s'ha configurat el desenvolupament d'un nou mitjà de comunicació, al que podem anomenar provisionalment, mitjà mòbil. La configuració, caracterització i evolució de tot mitjà de comunicació, part del desenvolupament de tecnologies, aparells i equips de comunicacions, per generar després usos i aplicacions socials, culturals, econòmiques i polítiques i acabar sent una estructura comunicacional, un element cultural que influeix en la generació d'imaginaris socials, polítics i culturals, sobre els quals exerceix una gran influència. A través de tot aquest procés, els mitjans configuren i desenvolupen un llenguatge específic del medi, el que no és altra cosa que una forma particular d'usar els elements significants, simbòlics i semiòtics de la cultura, per desenvolupar els seus missatges i continguts. En aquest treball s'ha analitzat, tant el desenvolupament i la configuració d'aquest nou mitjà audiovisual, com la transformació soferta pel llenguatge audiovisual en ser usat en aquest mitjà. Particularment s'ha desenvolupat un estudi de cas, en què s'analitza l'ús del mitjà mòbil i en particular del llenguatge audiovisual, en l'entorn del col • legi Colombo Francès de la ciutat de Medellín - Colòmbia, tractant d'establir les possibilitats de la seva usabilitat i aplicabilitat a les pràctiques pedagògics i didàctics. El desarrollo de la comunicación móvil a partir de la aparición de la telefonía celular, ha venido configurando el desarrollo de un nuevo medio de comunicación, al que podemos llamar provisionalmente, medio móvil. La configuración, caracterización y evolución de todo medio de comunicación, parte del desarrollo de tecnologías, aparatos y equipos de comunicaciones, para generar luego usos y aplicaciones sociales, culturales, económicas y políticas y terminar siendo una estructura comunicacional, un elemento cultural que influye en la generación de imaginarios sociales, políticos y culturales, sobre los que ejerce una gran influencia. A través de todo este proceso, los medios configuran y desarrollan un lenguaje específico del medio, lo que no es otra cosa que una forma particular de usar los elementos significantes, simbólicos y semióticos de la cultura, para desarrollar sus mensajes y contenidos. En este trabajo se ha analizado, tanto el desarrollo y la configuración de este nuevo medio audiovisual, como la transformación sufrida por el lenguaje audiovisual al ser usado en este medio. Particularmente se ha desarrollado un estudio de caso, en el que se analiza el uso del medio móvil y en particular del lenguaje audiovisual, en el entorno del colegio Colombo Francés de la ciudad de Medellín – Colombia, tratando de establecer las posibilidades de su usabilidad y aplicabilidad a las prácticas pedagógicos y didácticos. The development of mobile communication, since the emergence of cellular telephony, has shaped the emergence and configuration of new means of AUDIOVISUAL communication. We can tentatively call it mobile media. The setting, characterization and evolution of all communication media, begins with the development of technologies, equipment and communication devices so as to subsequently generate social, cultural, economic and political uses. Ultimately, a communicational structure emerges as a cultural element that influences the generation of social, political, and cultural imaginary frameworks on which the communicational structure itself exerts significant influence. Throughout this process, mobile media shapes and develops a language-specific environment as a particular form of using the symbolic, semiotic, and significant elements of culture to develop messages and content. This investigation analyzes the expansion and shaping of new audiovisual mobile media, as well as the transformation undergone by the visual language used in this realm. A case-study approach is used in which the use of mobile media is analyzed, particularly with regards to audiovisual language, in the socio-cultural milieu present among high-school students at the private educational institution “Colegio Colombo-Frances” in Medellin (Colombia). The potential use and applicability of mobile audiovisual media for pedagogic and didactic purposes is assessed.

Abstract:

Colombia is a developing country with high mortality rates from trauma. The Valle de Aburra region centred around the city of Medellin has particularly high rates of intentional trauma. Improving emergency medical services could reduce mortality rates. At the time of this investigation, there was no pre-hospital emergency care services in the Valle de Aburra. Thus, this thesis examines predictors of mortality from a case series of 1395 persons presenting to the Emergency department of the Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paul (HUSVP). Overall mortality for this series was 9.31% and 37.5% of these deaths were retrospectively identified as preventable. Mortality for injuries involving the central nervous system (CNS) was higher at 14.4%. Using the TRISS method, higher than expected death rates were noted from pedestrian-motor vehicle incidents and trauma associated with firearms use. Determinants of mortality and length of stay were identified using logistic regression. These included factors associated with the mechanism and site of injury and also with the process of care, both pre-hospital and in-hospital. Based on these identified determinants, policies for integrated pre-hospital and hospital emergency care in the Valle de Aburra can be developed. Regionalizing these services could be expected to reduce both mortality rates and preventable deaths.

Abstract:

Esta tese trata dos avanços e impasses da participação e da política urbana na transformação da Medellín popular, numa linha do tempo que vai desde 1950 até 2011. Seu objetivo central é revelar a disputa em que se debate a produção social de espaço, que em meio a um jogo de forças desequilibrado, marca a transformação contemporânea dos bairros periféricos. Essa disputa adquire significado enquanto elemento estruturante na construção de cidade a \"várias mãos\", atrelada a contradições e possibilidades que mudam, ocasionalmente. Participação, política urbana e transformação territorial reúnem-se no Projeto Urbano Integral da zona nordeste, que permite reconhecer o cotidiano dos bairros antes do projeto, a participação derivada durante o processo de intervenção e as mudanças geradas na apropriação pelo espaço público construído. A metodologia usada articula a análise documental de normatividade, atas e referências teóricas com trabalho de campo inspirado na cartografia da ação social apoiada na observação participante, fonte oral, oficina participativa e percurso pelos bairros. Da análise extrai-se um quadro de avanços na concepção, gestão e execução da participação e da política urbana que posicionou o \"Modelo Medellín\", a partir de uma intervenção catalogada como integral, com uma metodologia participativa, e que garantiu direitos em mobilidade urbana, espaço e equipamentos públicos, moradia e entorno, convívio e segurança. A urbanização atrela transformações visíveis no fortalecimento da organização social; na diminuição da violência, no acesso a bens e serviços sociais; na apropriação dos espaços públicos; na inclusão socioespacial dos bairros periféricos à cidade formal; na abertura dos bairros a novas dinâmicas; na mudança do imaginário dos habitantes e na existência de novos sentidos de vida. No entanto, embora o processo de urbanização rebata em uma melhora significativa para a população, também gera impasses em participação como a sua restrição à legitimação do projeto urbano, a predominância do interesse político-programático sobre a necessidade social, o aprofundamento da dominação e do controle exercido por grupos ilegais, o ocultamento da disputa entre diferentes agentes envolvidos, e, em termos da transformação territorial, produz a consolidação de centralidades urbanas nas quais se concentram as melhorias que aparecem à primeira vista como garantia de direitos, mas que terminam por ser parciais e por realocar antigos conflitos na periferia da periferia. Esses impasses são agravados pela descontinuidade da política urbana que terminou por reproduzir e até fortalecer os males que se pretendeu combater. No marco de avanços que se debatem em tensões e de impasses que estimulam renovadas trilhas de luta social, apresenta-se uma nova faceta da disputa pela produção da cidade periférica, na que sai fortalecida a consciência urbana do morador, permitindo hoje, a (re)apropriação dos espaços públicos pelo viés da cultura; e a exigência do reconhecimento e vinculação das condições territoriais e das necessidades sociais em intervenções públicas e privadas. This thesis deals with advances and impasses of participation and urban politics in the transformation of popular Medellín, reviewed in a timeline that goes from 1950 to 2011. Its central objective is to reveal the dispute in which social production of space is debated, between an unbalanced game of forces, that marks the contemporary transformation of peripheral neighborhoods. This dispute acquires importance as a structuring element in the construction of a city in \"several hands\", tied to contradictions and possibilities that change from time to time. Participation, urban politics and territorial transformation meet in the Integral Urban Project of the northeast zone, allowing to recognize the daily life of neighborhoods before the project, participation derived during the intervention process and appropriation changes generated by the built public space. The used methodology articulates documental analysis of norms, records and theoretical references with fieldwork, inspired in the cartography of social action supported in participant observation, oral source, participatory workshop and walk through the neighborhoods. From the analysis, it was possible to obtain a framework of advances in the conception, management and execution of participation and urban policy that positioned the \"Medellín Model\", from an intervention cataloged as integral, with a participative methodology, and that guaranteed rights in urban mobility, public space and equipment, housing, coexistence and security. Urbanization evidences visible transformations such as the strengthening of social organization; reduction of violence, access to social goods and services; appropriation of public spaces; socio-spatial inclusion of peripheral neighborhoods to the formal city; opening of neighborhoods to new dynamics; change of the imagination of the inhabitants and existence of new senses of life. However, while the urbanization process contrasts in a significant improvement for the population, it also generates impasses in participation as its restriction to the legitimization of the urban project; predominance of political-programmatic interest over social need; deepening of domination and control exercised by illegal groups; concealment of the dispute between different agents involved; and in terms of territorial transformation, it produces the consolidation of urban centralities in which the improvements appear at first sight as guarantee of rights, but end up being partial and reallocating old conflicts in the periphery of the periphery. These impasses are worsened by the discontinuity of the urban policy that ended up reproducing and even strengthening the evils that it intended to combat. Within the framework of advances in tensions and impasses that stimulate new paths of social struggle, there is a new angle of the dispute for production of the popular city, in which urban conscience of resident is strengthened, allowing today\'s reappropriation of public spaces by cultural bias; and the need to recognize and link territorial conditions and social needs to public and private interventions.

Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-04T12:42:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2010 O deslocamento forçado pela violência na Colômbia é um processo histórico de expropriação e violação sistemática dos direitos humanos, que impacta os processos vitais ao nível individual e social gerando um profundo dano na qualidade de vida das pessoas vítimas deste crime. O abandono obrigado dos lugares de moradia habitual é experimentado pelas populações para evitar as consequências mortais da guerra ou de outras situações que envolvem o uso da força para desocupar o campo. As cidades são os principias locais de destino dos desterrados e, a periferia urbana é o espaço onde cada uma destas pessoas se inserem para reconstruir a sua vida. No enquadramento do doutorado em Saúde Pública da Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz se realizou a presente investigação focalizada nas experiências dos moradores de Altos de la Torre, Pacífico e Nuevo Amanecer (Mano de Dios), lugares de assentamento de população em situação de deslocamento forçado em Medellín. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever e analisar os processos organizativos da população deslocada e as relações construídas com outros atores sociais em estes territórios. Além disso, procurou-se identificar a suas ações coletivas em esta cidade. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo etnográfico no período compreendido entre fevereiro de 2008 e março de 2009. A partir dos resultados e as conclusões pode-se identificar o deslocamento forçado como um processo dialético, que expõe uma clara contradição entre as situações de desarraigamento e ruptura geradas a partir do desterro e, a produção e reprodução social da vida no contexto urbano. Deste modo, desencadeiam-se processos coletivos, no meio das construções possíveis, bem como das disputas de poder, conflitos e violências que determinam em grande medida estas experiências. Também é importante ressaltar que apesar de ser o Estado colombiano o responsável pela atenção à população deslocada, a suas respostas limitam o direito à reparação integral e aprofundam as condições de miséria e exclusão. Em este contexto, os desterrados desenvolvem iniciativas de organização e participação para tentar satisfazer necessidades básicas e exigirem seus direitos. A sua capacidade de ação se vê limitada por vários fatores, entre eles o empobrecimento radical, as desconfianças, a burocracia institucional, o assistencialismo, e, os múltiplos conflitos e violências. El desplazamiento forzado por la violencia en Colombia es un proceso histórico de despojo y violación sistemática de los derechos humanos, que impacta los procesos vitales a nivel individual y social, generando un profundo deterioro en la calidad de vida de las personas víctimas de este crimen. El abandono obligado de los lugares de residencia habitual es experimentado por las poblaciones para evitar las consecuencias mortales de la guerra o de otras situaciones que involucran la utilización de la fuerza para desocupar el campo. Las ciudades son los principales lugares de destino de los desterrados y la periferia urbana es el espacio donde cada una de estas personas se inserta para reconstruir la vida. En el marco del doctorado en Salud Pública de la Escuela Nacional de Salud Pública de la Fundación Oswaldo Cruz se realizó la presente investigación focalizada en las experiencias de los pobladores de Altos de la Torre, Pacífico y Nuevo Amanecer (Mano de Dios), lugares de asentamiento de población en situación de desplazamiento forzado en Medellín. El objetivo de la investigación fue describir y analizar los procesos organizativos de la población desplazada y las relaciones construidas con otros actores sociales en estos territorios. Además, se buscó identificar sus acciones colectivas en esta ciudad. Para esto se realizó un estudio etnográfico en el periodo comprendido entre febrero de 2008 y marzo de 2009. A partir de los resultados y las conclusiones se puede identificar el desplazamiento forzado como un proceso dialéctico, que expone una clara contradicción entre las situaciones de desarraigo y ruptura generadas a partir del destierro, y la producción y reproducción de la vida en el contexto urbano. De esta manera, se desencadenan procesos colectivos, en medio las construcciones posibles, así como de las disputas de poder, conflictos y violencias que determinan en gran medida estas experiencias. También es importante resaltar que a pesar de ser el Estado colombiano el responsable de la atención a la población desplazada, sus respuestas limitan el derecho a la reparación integral y profundizan las condiciones de miseria y exclusión. En este contexto, los desplazados desarrollan iniciativas de organización y participación para intentar satisfacer necesidades básicas y exigir sus derechos. Su capacidad de acción se ve limitada por varios factores, entre ellos el empobrecimiento radical, las desconfianzas, la burocracia institucional, el asistencialismo y los múltiples conflictos y violencias.

La gobernanza urbana, entendida como la articulación entre actores públicos y privados para el tratamiento de los problemas de las ciudades, es un fenómeno que tiene lugar no solo en los países desarrollados sino también en otros contextos, como el latinoamericano. En América Latina su emergencia tuvo lugar a partir de la conjugación de tres grupos de factores: la aplicación de las medidas de reforma económica estructural de los años noventa, las posteriores medidas de reforma institucional y los procesos de ampliación de la democracia. Estos factores, sumados a condiciones previas de la región que no fueron modificadas o fueron exacerbadas en las últimas décadas, han configurado un contexto en el cual la gobernanza está condicionada de muy diversas maneras por situaciones como la pobreza, la desigualdad, la violencia, la debilidad institucional, entre otras. El caso elegido como caso de estudio en la investigación permite mostrar de qué manera tales condiciones pueden afectar la gobernanza y, además, hasta qué punto es posible contrarrestar o filtrar sus efectos a través de la aplicación de un conjunto de elementos de gestión, que pueden considerarse como elementos de metagobernanza. This doctoral thesis analyzes the governance and metagovernance in the public policies related with the urban regeneration in Medellin city. This research seeks to answer the following theoretical issue: How metagovernance can counteract the conditions or the restrictions that could adversely affect some governance practices and public policies produced through them? Urban governance, understood as the articulation between public and private actors to treat the problems of the cities, is a phenomenon that occurs not only in developed countries but also in other contexts, such as Latin America. In Latin America, its emergence occurred from the combination of three sets of factors: the implementation of structural economic reform of the nineties, the subsequent measures of institutional reform and the enlargement processes of democracy. These factors, coupled with previous conditions in the region that were not changed or were exacerbated in recent decades have created a context in which governance is conditioned in many ways by situations such as poverty, inequality, violence, and institutional weakness, among others. The case chosen as a case study in this research allows us to show how these conditions can affect the governance and also to what extent it is possible to counteract or filter its effects through the application of a set of management elements that can be considered as elements of metagovernance.

Abstract:

In recent years urban violence has become understood as a 'reproduced', multi-causal and socially generated phenomenon. Less is understood about why young men reproduce the majority of this violence. This thesis uses original empirical data based on thirty-two life-histories of youths living in two poor and violent neighbourhoods in Medellín, Colombia. It argues that urban violence is reproduced by male youths because it is linked to 'masculinity'; that is, the process of 'becoming men' where youths strive to fulfil productive or 'successful' models of masculinity. These processes are related to contexts of poverty, inequality and exclusion, so this thesis does not reduce the generation of urban violence to masculinity alone. Rather, understanding masculinity provides us with further insight into the reproduction of violence. This thesis further argues that male youths are disposed by their habitus - after Pierre Bourdieu - to negotiate a pathway to manhood that largely reflects traditional masculine values in their context. Striving to achieve prevailing versions of manhood contributed to some of these youths joining armed groups, such as gangs. The gang acted as a mechanism to fulfil their dispositions to become men, by providing them with a way to perform a version of 'successful' masculinity. This is prevalent in urban contexts of exclusion and high levels of social violence, because there are limited opportunities to achieve legal and dignified versions of manhood, whilst there are significant opportunities to join the local gang. The youths interviewed that did not join gangs tended to come from families that taught them to reject violence at a young age, whilst supporting them in pursuing alternative pathways to manhood. Youths that joined gangs tended to have more problems at home and often had family members already in gangs. ESRC, and University of Bradford

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the work of alternative economies activists who have spent the last 18 years constructing barter systems and local currencies in Medellín, Colombia. Through barter, these activists hope to spark an ethical re-evaluation of production, exchange, and consumption, and to create an economy that serves Medellín's middle-class professionals, rural peasants, urban workers, students and the chronically under-employed. They also see barter as an important social and political project to repair a social fabric torn by decades of violence and economic exploitation. For these activists barter is a counter to capitalism, violence, and social fragmentation; it is a new proposal rooted in cooperation, collective well-being, and the development of local capacities. Previous researchers have thoroughly examined the emergence, organization, and impacts of these types of alternative economies, but they have neglected what many activists consider to be the greatest challenge: to cultivate the new social relations and subjectivities necessary to enact and maintain those models. In the words of Colombia's barter organizers, the goal is to "change the chip" and "clean out the cucarachas" of our capitalist mindsets in order to "create a new culture of solidarity." This research is located at precisely that sticking point. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic research, I examine the nature and impacts of barter and the challenges that barter activists face as they try to recreate economies, social relations, and subjectivities. Medellín's barter projects, I conclude, offer extremely important opportunities for cross-class and cross-generational interaction in a city that is violently divided. They also provide material and social supports for traders who are seeking to develop alternative subjectivities, and they help active traders gain control over the means of production and the conditions of their work. However, their counter-hegemonic potential is significantly limited by three tensions within organizers' strategies: a tendency to prioritize socio-cultural forms of activism at the expense of economic ones, a focus on conscious and moral aspects of subjectivity rather than material and embodied aspects, and a stridently anti-capitalist stance that discourages economic articulations and thereby reinforces the material and socio-cultural power of capitalism.

Abstract:

The world is facing severe and complex issues and the sustainable development challenges are immense. In order to meet the challenges, social innovation is crucially needed. Developing social innovation is however challenging and collaboration among stakeholders is an important factor to overcome this. A way to collaborate with citizens is with citizen co-creation. The aim of this study was to investigate how citizen co-creation is used as a mean to achieve social innovation. This was done by investigating the research questions “Which factors have a positive impact on the citizen co-creation process to achieve social innovation?“ and “What are the challenges of using citizen co-creation to achieve social innovation and what are the potential solutions?”. Literature within social innovation and citizen co-creation was reviewed and a case study was performed. The case study was executed in Medellin, Colombia, together with a public entity working with the transformation of the city. A program for a citizen co-creation process called MiMedellin was studied. Interviews were performed with team members working with the program and stakeholders involved in a specific project. Secondary data regarding type of challenges and the citizens behaviour on the platform was also analysed in order to confirm information collected in the interviews. This master’s thesis revealed a strong link between citizen co-creation and social innovation. The ways to work in citizen co-creation align with key factors in the social innovation process and citizen co-creation is therefore a mean to achieve social innovation. Factors with a positive impact in the citizen co-creation process were found to be related to ways to work, methods for citizen participation and leadership. Challenges of achieving social innovation with citizen co-creation were found to be related to trust, engagement and the complexity of the process. This master’s thesis suggests ways to overcome the challenges as well as gives practical and theoretical implications and areas for future research. Världen står inför stora svårigheter med enorma globala utmaningar. För att möta de utmaningarna är social innovation avgörande. Att utveckla sociala innovationer är däremot komplext och samarbete mellan intressenter ses som en viktig faktor för att övervinna detta. Ett sätt att involvera medborgare i samarbetet är genom citizen co-creation. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur citizen co-creation används som ett medel för att uppnå social innovation, genom att undersöka följande forskningsfrågor: “Vilka faktorer har en positiv inverkan på citizen co-creation processen för att uppnå sociala innovation?” och “Vilka utmaningar finns med att använda citizen co-creation för att uppnå social innovation och vilka är de potentiella lösningarna? Litteratur inom social innovation och citizen co-creation granskades och en fallstudie genomfördes. Studien genomfördes i Medellin i Colombia tillsammans med en statlig organisation som arbetar med transformation av staden. Ett program för en citizen co-creation process som kallas MiMedellin studerades. Intervjuer genomfördes med gruppmedlemmar inom programmet och intressenterna som deltog i ett specifikt projekt. Sekundärdata för tidigare utmaningar och medborgares beteende på plattformen analyserades även för att bekräfta information som samlats in i intervjuerna. Denna masteruppsats avslöjade en stark koppling mellan citizen co-creation och social innovation. Arbetssättet inom citizen co-creation går väl samman med nyckelfaktorer i processen att utveckla sociala innovationer. På det sättet är citizen co-creation ett medel för att uppnå sociala innovationer. Faktorer med en positiv inverkan på citizen co-creation processen var kopplade till sätt att arbeta, metoder att involvera medborgare och ledarskap. Utmaningar med att uppnå sociala innovation med citizen co-creation var kopplade till tillit, engagemang och processens komplexitet. Denna masterupssats föreslår sätt att möta utmaningarna och ger även praktiska och teoretiska implikationer samt områden för framtida forskning.

Abstract:

Geography Ph.D. Women worldwide carry out strategies to support themselves and their families that rely on connecting to physical resources, especially food, and to important social ties. This dissertation provides a nuanced understanding of the spatial implications of this connectivity as made visible through mobility and social networks in two cities. Everyday experiences of food security can be bolstered by access to greater mobility (e.g., access to a taxi/bus to go to the central market), which can be provided through social networks (e.g., sharing a ride with a family member or neighbor). At the same time, a lack of mobility may inhibit a person’s access to food (e.g., an inability to move beyond one’s neighborhood due to risk of violence), and is especially true when this need for mobility interferes with other social network obligations (e.g., needing to care for children). This mixed-methods research uses sketch mapping during in-depth interviews with 72 migrant women coping with food insecurity in Medellín, Colombia, and Washington, DC, USA. Based on this data, I use relational poverty’s emphasis on social relations to explain that food insecurity results from global political economic systems, especially a capitalist, corporate food regime (chapter 3). However, in moving beyond structural explanations, this dissertation also illustrates everyday survival strategies – such as relying on informal social networks – that act as resistance to these processes (chapter 4), are both social and mobile – for example, traveling with members of social networks to access emergency food providers (chapter 5), and are impacted locally by urban planning policies reflecting global norms (chapter 6). In doing so, this dissertation argues that food insecure individuals are powerful agents carrying out creative coping strategies that are constrained by political economic structures. Building on theoretical foundations from critical food studies, urban geography and feminist geography, this research contributes to these literatures through theorizing structure and agency dynamics evident in food insecurity, particularly from the perspective of those coping with food insecurity. It is important to attend to their complex, lived experience in order to better understand if strategies for alleviating food insecurity are appropriate. Additionally, focusing on different contexts of food insecurity allows illustrating how cities are similarly and differently integrated into globalized processes influencing experiences of poverty and governance in both the global north and south. It also contributes a more nuanced understanding of the food insecurity experiences of low-income women migrating into urban environments, enabling more effective scholarship as well as improved policy making and service provision by governments, relief agencies, and community organizations. For example, this dissertation provides critiques of policy approaches that singularly focus on increasing opportunities for consumption (chapters 3 and 5) and nutrition education programs emphasizing the ‘right’ kinds of consumption (chapters 4 and 5). These policy approaches ignore the structural causes of food insecurity (chapter 3) and the nutritional knowledge of food insecure migrants (chapter 4). Instead, I argue for policies and programs to be created with a better understanding of the lived experience of those they seek to support. This includes valuing their critiques of political economic systems (chapter 4), supporting their non-economic survival strategies – such as exchange in informal networks (chapters 4 and 5) and growing food (chapter 6), and increasing flexibility to accommodate ‘non-traditional’ mobility and (informal) work situations.
