After long negotiations, CEDLA left its cherished building at the Keizersgracht and moved to the Roetersstraat 33 in Amsterdam. For many, it was a sad moment, leaving a building with so many institutional and personal memories. When it was clear that the decision was definite, the move took place in an efficient and positive manner. Friends and personnel of CEDLA took leave of the old building in a Noche de Melancolía in which many stories were told and memories were exchanged. The move was completed in August, just before the start of the academic year when a group of almost twenty new masters’ students arrived. This group of students, together with a number of new PhD students, immediately generated a lively and creative atmosphere. The public lectures and activities in the new building were well attended. Among other things, it made clear that the new situation which brought CEDLA closer to the Faculty of Social Sciences has created new opportunities. In this turbulent year, a few events and processes stood out. For an institute such as CEDLA the most promising development may well be the increased attention for an academic education abroad among Latin American governments. CEDLA is uniquely placed to function as a clearing house for Masters and PhD students from Latin America. The CEDLA Masters Programme welcomed five Latin American students in 2013 fue un año repleto de acontecimientos para CEDLA. Tras largas negociaciones, CEDLA dejó su querido edificio en el canal Keizersgracht de Ámsterdam y se mudó a la calle Roetersstraat 33 de la misma ciudad. Para muchos, abandonar un edificio con tantos recuerdos institucionales y personales fue un momento doloroso. Cuando quedó claro que la decisión era definitiva, la mudanza se llevó a cabo de forma eficiente y positiva. Muchos amigos y el personal de CEDLA se despidieron del antiguo edificio en una Noche de Melancolía, en el transcurso de la cual intercambiaron muchas historias y muchos recuerdos. La mudanza concluyó en agosto, justo antes del comienzo del curso académico, momento en el que llegó un grupo de casi veinte estudiantes de maestría nuevos. Dicho grupo, junto con varios estudiantes de doctorado nuevos, crearon enseguida un ambiente animado y creativo. Las actividades y las conferencias públicas en el nuevo edificio contaron con una gran asistencia. Quedó claro, entre otras cosas, que la nueva situación de CEDLA, más próxima a la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, ha creado oportunidades nuevas. Durante este año turbulento, cabe destacar una serie de acontecimientos y procesos. Para un instituto como CEDLA, quizás el cambio más prometedor sea el creciente interés entre los Gobiernos latinoamericanos por una educación académica en el extranjero. CEDLA ocupa un lugar único para funcionar como centro de coordinación para estudiantes de CEDLA Annual Report 2013 2013. Two Ecuadorian doctoral students also started their PhD project at CEDLA during the year, financed by the Ecuadorian Scientific Council, Senescyt. In 2014 two more Latin American PhD students will start their project at CEDLA. These young Latin American researchers work together in seminars and other events with a number of Dutch doctoral students, providing CEDLA with an animated and exciting international academic atmosphere. In 2013, CEDLA also completed its assignment for the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The evaluation of Dutch foreign policies towards Latin America led to a number of reports and a final report that was translated in Spanish as En busca de nuevas relaciones. Evaluación de la política exterior de los Países Bajos en América Latina (2013) (http://www.iob-evaluatie.nl/Latijns-Amerika). The reports conclude that there were good reasons for the Dutch government to change its relationship with Latin America. The growing economic importance of Latin America called for a greater emphasis on economic relationships and justified the out-phasing of conventional development assistance. But the report also states that this happened too abruptly. Thus the Netherlands lost an important opportunity with this region to build further upon a good relationship which had been the result of many decades of concrete commitment to development cooperation and human rights work. Michiel Baud Director 5 maestría y doctorado procedentes de América Latina. El Programa de Maestría de CEDLA acogió a cinco estudiantes latinoamericanos en 2013. Dos estudiantes de doctorado ecuatorianos también iniciaron su proyecto de doctorado en CEDLA durante el 2013, financiado por la Secretaría Nacional de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de Ecuador (Senescyt). En 2014, otros dos estudiantes de doctorado latinoamericanos empezarán su proyecto en CEDLA. Estos jóvenes investigadores latinoamericanos cooperarán en seminarios y en otros eventos con varios estudiantes holandeses de doctorado, lo cual generará en CEDLA un ambiente académico internacional animado y estimulante. En 2013, CEDLA también concluyó su encargo para el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de los Países Bajos. La evaluación de la política exterior de los Países Bajos con respecto a América Latina tuvo como resultado toda una serie de informes y un informe final que se tradujo al español como En busca de nuevas relaciones. Evaluación de la política exterior de los Países Bajos en América Latina (2013) (http://www.iob-evaluatie.nl/Latijns-Amerika). De los informes se desprende que hubo buenas razones para que el Gobierno neerlandés cambiara su relación con América Latina. La importancia económica creciente de América Latina exigió un mayor énfasis en las relaciones económicas y justificó la retirada progresiva de la asistencia convencional al desarrollo. Pero el informe también sostiene que estos sucesos se produjeron de forma demasiado brusca, con lo cual los Países Bajos perdieron una oportunidadimportante de reforzar la buena relación que habían ido forjando con esta región a lo largo de muchas décadas de compromisos concretos en materia de cooperación al desarrollo y derechos humanos. Michiel Baud Director 6 Research Programme Research Programme Introduction The year 2013 marks the conclusion of CEDLA’s Research Programme for 2009 to 2013 on ‘Natural and Cultural Resource Use in Contemporary Latin America’. As the descriptions below indicate, next to doing research and presenting work in seminars and conference panels, extra effort was made to produce and prepare publications with the results from CEDLA ‘s various individual and joint research projects. Meanwhile the research collaboration with other institutions continued in projects like ENGOV and GOMIAM, and CEDLA hosted a remarkably high number of foreign visiting fellows and PhDs. Regular internal research meetings serve to discuss research plans, fieldwork experiences and draft publications as well as opportunities for research collaboration and funding. While the Research Programme 2009-2013 has officially come to an end in December 2013, the CEDLA research team has found that studying the use of natural, cultural and political resources remains a relevant and topical approach to understanding recent processes of change in Latin America. As a result, the new programme will build on approaches and lessons of the previous one, but will be designed in a way that allows for greater flexibility in the collaborations with researchers inside and outside CEDLA. Research Line 1 (RL1): Partnerships and Conflicts in Natural Resource Use Local Management of the Amazonian Floodplain The Socio-ecological Dimension of the Biodiesel Programme in Brazil Fabio de Castro Fabio has advanced his research on oil palm expansion in the Northeast Amazon as part of the ENGOV project and his research on management of aquatic resources in the Lower Amazon as part the collaborative research project Nuffic-Capes. During the first semester, he hosted two Brazilian CEDLA Annual Report 2013 7 colleagues with whom he collaborated on the two academic articles which have been submitted to international journals. In addition, Fabio has written the Analytical Framework report as part of ENGOV ‘Crossing boundaries in Environmental Governance’, available at the ENGOV webpage. During the summer, he spent one month in the Amazon where he carried out several interviews in Tomé-Açu which will support the institutional analysis of the oil palm expansion in the region. He also did several interviews in the floodplain communities in Santarém to base his analysis on the implementation process of an ethnic territory in the region. In the second semester, Fabio focused on the analysis of his fieldwork data and writing of the first draft of an article on the biodiesel programme and territorial reconfiguration in northeast Brazilian Amazon, to be presented in a conference in early 2014. In addition, he concluded other publication projects, including the book chapter on fisheries management in Brazil (In Portuguese) and the co-editing of the book project ‘Brazil under the Workers’ Party: Continuity and Change from Lula to Dilma’ with Kees Koonings and Marianne Wiesebron contracted by Palgrave. Apart from publications, Fabio has been involved in a collaborative initiative between CEDLA and Cordaid/NIMD and has co-authored papers presented in two international conferences - People and the Sea in Amsterdam and the Conference of the International Association for the Study of the Commons in Japan. The IIRSA Project Pitou van Dijck Pitou finalised his work on the book titled The Impact of the IIRSA Road Infrastructure Programme on Amazonia, released by Routledge/Earthscan in May 2013 (291 pp). The release formally finalised a long period of research on the impact of roads on Amazonia and the potentials of strategic environmental assessments to stimulate socio-economic impacts and mitigate negative environmental and social impacts. Also, his academic project in Suriname, sponsored by WWF Guianas, was finalised with the organisation of two three days trainings programmes and related seminars. The first programme was on land use planning and GIS mapping with ECLAC, Santiago de Chile, IVM at VU Amsterdam and Object Vision in March 2013. The second programme was on strategic environmental assessments (SEAs) with DHV and the Piatam Institute (Manaus) in May 2013, both at the Anton de Kom Universiteit in Paramaribo. The two training programmes were supported by a handbook by the full team involved in the trainings and edited by Marinella Wallis. Pitou’s edited volume Developing Countries and the Doha development Agenda of the WTO, co-edited with Gerrit Faber and initially released by Routledge 8 Research Programme in 2006, was released in a second print in May 2013 by Routledge, during the final stages of the negotiations on the Doha Development Agenda. Pitou also made a research trip between Paramaribo, Georgetown and Manaus to investigate the ways local communities have organised themselves to improve potential impacts of roads to be reconstructed in the near future, particularly in the context of IIRSA and PAC. During the second part of the year Pitou worked on a series of articles dealing with the main topics of his book on Amazonia and roads, and the preparations for the organisation of an international one-day seminar (in May 2014). Moreover, he gave guest lectures and presentations at seminars. In November he was invited to give a brief presentation at the UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw. Politics of Natural Resource Extraction in Latin America Barbara Hogenboom For her research Barbara Hogenboom studied recent regional trends with regard to the mining, oil and gas sectors. This continues to be a dynamic field with a range of new local conflicts, national policy reforms, regional initiatives, and transnational investments, as shows from her chapter for the Cuaderno of Research Line 1 (number 27, forthcoming in 2014). In the context of the EU-funded collaborative ENGOV project (‘Environmental Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean’, see page 22), which she coordinates, she worked on the effects of elite shifts, and on the effects of the increased involvement of Chinese actors. The ENGOV meeting in Quito, in May, allowed her to catch up with current mineral politics in Ecuador. With Karolien van Teijlingen (CEDLA YES-student in 2012 and PhD candidate since January 2014) she wrote an article on the discourse politics of mining and development in this country. In addition, she started to participate in a new KNAW-funded Dutch-Chinese collaborative research project: The transnationalization of China’s oil industry (between the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the IIAS of Leiden University). To this project she contributes a study of the influence of Chinese actors on the policies and practices of oil extraction in Latin America, especially in Venezuela, Brazil and Ecuador. During the project meeting in Beijing, in November, she became more familiar with the nature of Chinese stateowned oil companies, the political economy of their global expansion, and the development of their CSR policies. Conversations at embassies offered a first impression of Latin American experiences and views on these companies. This year she also received the first Open Paper Prize of the Economics and Politics Section of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) for her article ‘Depoliticized and Repoliticized Minerals in Latin America’. CEDLA Annual Report 2013 9 Small-scale gold mining and social conflict in the Amazon Marjo de Theije Marjo de Theije coordinates the CoCooN research project GOMIAM that intends to create a better understanding of social conflicts around mineral resource extraction through interdisciplinary study in five Amazonian countries. In 2013 a ‘panorama’ of the cases was published in the Cuadernos del CEDLA. GOMIAM also aims to build an international network of experts capable of influencing the public debate, of making policy recommendations and of supplying knowledge to decision-makers in government institutions, ministries involved, but also local and regional administrations and non-governmental organisations in the Amazon region. In her own research Marjo focused on obstacles to the development of better policies and mining practices, especially the effects of small-scale gold mining as a trans-border activity, which makes it difficult for national authorities to get a grasp on it. She made three field trips in 2013. In June she visited Aluku villages at the Lawa River, the border between French Guiana and Suriname, together with two other GOMIAM researchers. In July she accompanied the main researcher of the Bolivian research team to Riberalta for a research visit to the Asobal mining cooperative and the balsas on the Rio Madre de Dios. In November and December she made a short research trip to the border between Brazil and French Guiana, to initiate a project on the trade channels for French Guiana’s illegal gold production in collaboration with WWF France. In Suriname she did research in the Alimonie region in Sipaliwini, where many of the Brazilian miners she works with since 2006 have moved to after they had to leave the Antino area where they worked for many years. This way of following the miners produces important data for the project on the flexibility and mobility of miners. Research Line 2 (RL2): Cultural Resource Use in an Urbanizing Continent Changing social landscapes in medium-sized cities Christien Klaufus Christien conducted fieldwork in Huancayo (Peru) and Cuenca (Ecuador) in March 2013. This was the third period of comparative research in those two cities as part of her five-year project ‘Changing Social Landscapes in Medium-sized Cities’. She updated and extended her data on peri-urbanisation processes and continued participation in the multi-partner project ‘International Migration and Local Development’ executed by the University 10 Research Programme of Cuenca and funded by the Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR). Furthermore, she conducted interviews on (disappearing) indigenous house-building practices, surveyed visible indicators of urban growth, and organised focus group sessions with transnational families on cultural change. During the last three months of 2013, she developed a new research agenda for the study of deathscapes in Latin American metropolitan areas, which will be further developed in the years to come. Christien was involved in several academic and professional events, such as an online seminar for the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, in which she participated together with Rivke Jaffe (UvA) and Freek Colombijn (VU). She also moderated an Urban Movies session at Pakhuis De Zwijger. Fieldwork Christien Klaufus, Huancayo (Peru) and Cuenca (Ecuador). With regard to efforts to acquire external funding, the following can be mentioned. The European grant proposal ‘Traces of belonging: Migrants material culture in urban public spaces (MIGSPACE)’ submitted to the Joint Research Programme ‘Cultural Encounters’ of Humanities in the European Research Area HERA (12-HERA-JRP-CE-FP-200) was recommended for funding. Unfortunately, in the end, there were no funds available for this project. Applications for new grants were prepared. A CEDLA Annual Report 2013 11 travel grant for field research within the new research project ‘Deathscapes in Latin American Metropolitan Areas’ was submitted to the Van EesterenFluck and van Lohuizen Foundation. The grant was approved. A research proposal for submission to the PROMETEO Programme of Senescyt Ecuador was developed in collaboration with the Universidad de Cuenca. The proposal was considered eligible at the end of 2013 and will be developed into a full application in 2014. New livelihood opportunities, ethnicity and gender challenges in Peru Annelou Ypeij Fieldwork Annelou Ypeij: Isidora Acostupa, 56 years old, weaver of Awana Wasi, Oct 2010, Chinchero Marlena Callañaupa, 33 years old, president of Awana Wasi, Chinchero Oct 2010 Annelou Ypeij gave her research in the cono norte of Lima and the Machu Picchu touristic area a new direction by focusing on cultural transformations and new constructions of ethnicity. As the Peruvian society is rapidly changing from a violent, poor, introvert society into a society with impressive economic growth figures that embraces global influences, its inhabitants are grabbing new opportunities for social mobility and reinterpret their cultural roots in the Andes. This self-awareness of lo Andino, sometimes called cholification, leads to flirtatious practices and more serious, in-depth projects of how to present, rediscover and reconstruct ethnic identities in 12 Research Programme urban and touristic spaces. Food, music and touristic arts and crafts are the material expressions of this ethnic rediscovery. As a researcher Ypeij is involved in a documentary by visual anthropologist Sharis Coppens about the rock group Uchpa. The mini-history of its founder and lead singer Fredy Ortiz can be seen as an example of how Peruvians leave behind their recent dark and violent history to construct new ethnic identities in which lo Andino fuses with many globalised elements and surpasses known categories of ethnicity and class. The use of cultural resources in the moving image Arij Ouweneel Over the past year, Arij Ouweneel used his research time to continue working on his book on the different aspects of the so-called Cognitive Amerindian Schema (CAS — a cognitive schema helps to encode situations and events, decode and memorise them later on, and work with them while behaving, and is crucial for predicting situations and people, and categorise them) as used in the production of (moving) images in several Latin American countries. In 1986, the Dutch philosopher Ton Lemaire published a well-researched book: De Indiaan in ons bewustzijn (The Indian in Our Consciousness). He demonstrates that before the first reports about the new overseas Spanish and Portuguese territories had reached Europe (1492), European writers had already made up their mind about possible ‘Native Americans’. During the Renaissance, they had rediscovered the Ancients and their myth of a Golden Era in early history, including Atlantis, and had formulated a European CAS about a noble savage in the West, leading an uncorrupted, natural way of life [despite the fact that the actual Amerindians found in the Americas usually were city dwellers]. This CAS still exists and motivates a large series of scholars, politicians and activists alike to treat the ‘indigenous’ accordingly. Ouweneel discusses paintings, photographs, television clips, YouTube clips and fiction films in order to demonstrate the CAS at work in Latin America and by Latin Americans, thereby questioning visions of ‘indigeneity’. Developing research line: Political development and social movements The analysis of political development and social movements is an important field for CEDLA research. Although not forming part of the original research programme formulated a few years ago, in anticipation of the next programme, a new, more politically oriented research line is in the process of being developed by Michiel Baud and Kees Koonings. CEDLA Annual Report 2013 13 Kees Koonings holds the chair Brazilian Studies, and actively fostered the interest for present-day social and political developments in this country. Together with Fabio de Castro he taught the course ‘Brazil: democracy, citizenship and sustainable development’ (May-July 2013) and edited the book mentioned before. In addition, he gave lectures on Brazil in courses of the master’s programme ‘International development Studies’ of the University of Amsterdam and the CEDLA Master’s programme. He also supervised two MA theses on Brazilian subjects in the former programme and gave guest lectures on Brazil at Clingendael and at the universities of Tilburg and Leiden. Michiel Baud participated in the ENGOV project and started preparing his fieldwork in Ecuador on the historical background of environmental thinking. Together with Jaime Hoogesteeger and Rutgerd Boelens he published an article on the governance of water resources in that country. The ambition is to write together two more articles on issues of politics, social movements and governamentality. In various radio and television contributions he actively participated in the public debates on Latin America in the Netherlands. Together with Edwin Koopman he made a radio programme on the consequences of closing down the Dutch Embassy in Bolivia. He wrote a number of articles in policy journals on policies in the Netherlands towards Latin America. Due to his administrative and representative tasks and the intense negotiations with the University of Amsterdam in 2013, his time for doing research and writing was limited. Kees Koonings and Michiel Baud together coordinated a successful CEDLA bid for two work packages of the Dutch Latin America policy evaluation tendered by IOB/Ministry of Foreign Affairs (packages: Peace building and human rights in Colombia and Guatemala; Political cooperation with Argentina, Brazil and Mexico). The research was successfully completed and the resulting reports were published on the IOB website. Their conclusions were integrated into the final report which generated quite some discussion on the Dutch Foreign relations with Latin America. 14 Research Programme Special projects ENGOV The ENGOV consortium visiting the Centro de comercialización y revalorización de la cultura del ecosistema manglar Martín Pescador in Quito, during the project meeting organized by the UASB in May 2013. CEDLA coordinates the FP7 collaborative project ENGOV on ‘Environmental Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean: Developing Frameworks for Sustainable and Equitable Natural Resource Use’ (2011-2015). The project involves ten Latin American and European universities and receives l funding (€2.7 million) from the European Union. ENGOV focuses on the obstacles and possibilities for sustainable production systems that can generate economic development and a more equitable knowledge input and distribution of benefits across ethnic, socioeconomic and gender lines in order to decrease poverty, exclusion, and environmental degradation. The project’s central objective is to understand how environmental governance is shaped in Latin America and the Caribbean (see www.engov.eu). In its third year, ENGOV focused on finalising the research within the different research groups and stepping up the dissemination of project results. Next to various research reports and academic articles, effort was made to communicate results more widely through other means, of which CEDLA Annual Report 2013 15 we mention the main four results. First, in January 2013, ENGOV’s first Policy Brief on ‘Environmental governance of extractive activities in Latin America and the Caribbean: the need to include local communities’ was presented to the participants of the EU-CELAC Summit and the parallel bi-regional academic meeting in Santiago de Chile. Second, the Virtual Library ‘Sociedad, Política y Naturaleza’ was launched, which is a virtual reading room specialised in environmental governance issues in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It is built with contributions from all ENGOV project partners and can be accessed via the ENGOV website, but is also integrated as a virtual reading room into CLACSO’s online library (http://www.biblioteca.clacso.edu.ar/colecciones/saladelectura/). Third, an ‘Inventory of Databases of Environmental Justice Conflicts’ and a research database ‘About Knowledge(s) on Nature in Latin America’ were made available. The Inventory presents an effort to systematise and disseminate ongoing trends in environmental justice struggles in LAC, by presenting all relevant online databases on this subject. The research database is a tool that incorporates more than one thousand references on different forms of knowledge on nature in LAC. Finally, ENGOV’s Working Papers Series was started in order to communicate results of ongoing ENGOV research in a way that is quick and open access. It is directed at scholars and others interested and involved in different topics related to natural resource management in Latin America and the Caribbean, and aims to stimulate the exchange of ideas and inform ongoing debates at different levels. Central to the dissemination of the research results is the ENGOV website: www.engov.eu, where all above mentioned and more outputs as well as project news are presented and regularly updated. GOMIAM Small-scale gold mining and social conflict in the Amazon: Comparing states, environments, local populations and miners in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname, is a six year research and development project (2011-2016), financed by the CoCooN Programme of NWO-WOTRO. The principal objective of the GOMIAM project is to develop a comparative understanding of socio-political and environmental conflicts related to small-scale gold mining in the Amazon, and contribute to their possible solution. Over the last few decades, the growth in small-scale gold mining has resulted in increasing environmental problems and socio-political conflicts in the Amazon that call for more interdisciplinary and crossborder approaches. The first phase of the project, from 2011 till 2012, the project emphasised the comparative analysis of the different political and environmental situations in the countries of research and built up a network of academic experts, politicians, 16 Brazil: Diver on a small pontoon near Creporizão, Tapajós mergulhador. Photo by Marjo de Theije Oro Verde Mine near Tadó, Chocó. Photo by Judith Kolen Research Programme local communities and small-scale miners, which together provide a wide view on the relevant issues in the small-scale mining sector in the different countries. This forms the basis for the research and research uptake activities foreseen for the second phase of the project (2013-2016). During the first months of 2013, attention was focused on the writing of a top-up plan for additional project funding for the remaining period. This plan was approved in August 2013, allowing the expansion of the planned activities and the inclusion of several new project partners in the project, such as the Brazilian Núcleo de Apoio à Pequena Mineração Responsável. Also, a project meet- CEDLA Annual Report 2013 17 ing was organised in cooperation with the Overseas Development Institute – ODI – focussing on different aspects of research uptake, a policy influence plan, policy briefs, and engaging with the media, among others. A first joint project publication was launched in June 2013: ‘Small-scale gold mining in the Amazon The cases of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Suriname’. In this CEDLA -Cuaderno edition, the contributors give a situation analysis of small-scale mining in five countries in the wider Amazon region, based on their previous research, using their different disciplinary backgrounds, which is reflected in the broad scope of the ethnographic, economic, technical and political data collected in this book. Several other publications were issued in the second half of 2013: three contributions from the Bolivian and Colombian teams were accepted for a special issue of Letras Verdes on Mining, Environment and Social Movements. And a contribution on formalizing small-scale mining in Madre de Dios from the Peruvian team resulted in an online publication for scholars and practitioners in The Broker Online. All these results and more can be reviewed on the project website www.gomiam.org. Nuffic-Capes In connection with the research programme Nuffic-Capes ‘Formal and informal practices of natural resource use and management in the Amazon’ in collaboration with NAEA-Federal University of Para (Brazil), three Brazilian scholars have visited CEDLA as part of the research activities of the subproject ‘Local Management of Aquatic Resource in the Lower Amazon’. Shaji Thomas (PhD student) spent nine months at CEDLA to work on his dissertation entitled ‘The Impact of the Agroextractive Project (PAE) in the participative governance of the commons in the Lower Amazon’ and, in August, Fabio de Castro accompanied him in his fieldwork in the Amazon. In addition, Dr. Oriana Almeida and Dr. Sergio Rivero spent three months at CEDLA and collaborated with Fabio de Castro in the preparation of three articles, one submitted and two currently in final writing stage. Pedro Baía Júnior (PhD student) finished a first draft of his dissertation ‘Entre o ouro e a biodiversidade: Garimpos e Unidades de Conservação na região de Itaituba, Pará, Brasil’. Karolien van Teijlingen (PhD student) spent four months at NAEA, studying mining and development processes as well as Portuguese, in the preparatory phase to her PhD project at CEDLA (2014-2016), about the governance of mining and development in Carajás (Brazil) and Zamora Chinchipe (Ecuador). In a meeting at CEDLA in July, the project’s progress and pending work was discussed with the senior researchers from the Netherlands and Brazil. 18 PhD Projects and fellows PhD Projects and fellows PhD Projects Undoing toxic relations: reconfiguring gender, environmental change and inequalities in the shifting nature cultures of El Oro, Ecuador Lucia Galarza Suárez (2013 – 2017) This project analyses the socio-ecological impacts of extractive activities and agribusiness on the diverse natural cultural landscapes of El Oro – a borderland province located in the south of Ecuador that has traditionally figured as a key provider of primary commodities for the global market. While the value of these productive activities is repeatedly highlighted by the state, local impacts – including deforestation, loss of biodiversity, conflicts over access to resources and growing levels of toxicity – are often misrepresented. Meanwhile, for those who inhabit El Oro’s reconfigured landscapes, environmental problems continue to increase while social inequalities remain unresolved. In addition, the scarce literature available suggests that these inequalities have strong gendered elements – a problematic this research sets out to unpack. Drawing from environmental history, actor network theory, feminist theories, science and technology studies and queer ecologies, this research will guide the reader through an unexpected exploration into natural cultural transformations and the production of gendered inequalities underlying the unsettling practices of environmental change. Lucía arrived at CEDLA from Ecuador in October and is currently preparing for her first period of fieldwork in El Oro. She works under the supervision of Prof. Michiel Baud. Reconfiguration of hydrosocial territories in Ecuador: power relations and multipurpose hydraulic projects Juan Pablo Hidalgo Bastidas (2013-2017) Mega-hydraulic projects such as multipurpose ones are highly controversial and contested at local, national and international arenas due to their negative effects over local communities and the environment. Despite this, Ecuadorian government has enthusiastically embraced the idea of hydraulic CEDLA Annual Report 2013 19 modernisation driven by technocratic and expert discourses that link MHP with clean energy production, economic development and industrialisation. From a political ecological perspective his research aims to analyse and substantiate the discursive and material reconfigurations of hydrosocial territories through understanding the implementation of three multipurpose hydraulic projects (MHP) along the coast of Ecuador. Therefore, his research sets out to scrutinise how i) social power relations and water struggles influence and shape the design, construction, implementation and operation of three MHPs; ii) how such dynamics embedded in MHPs reconfigure hydrosocial territories and; iii) how these processes that entail dominant governmental discourses and practices utilised by the citizen’s revolution government also trigger emergent alternatives from MHP-affected peoples. He argues that these processes are constituting into new social-ecological and political-technological hydrosocial networks that might contribute to the emergence of more just and democratic water governance around the implementation of mega-hydraulic projects. Juan Pablo is engaged with the Water Justice Alliance and is working under the supervision of Prof. Michiel Baud and Prof. Rutgerd Boelens. Favelas ‘pacificadas’: um estudo sobre sociabilidade, rotina e circulação em territórios ocupados por Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora – UPPs Palloma Menezes (2010-2014) This project is the result of a research collaboration between UERJ (Universidade Estadual de Rio de Janeiro) and VU University Amsterdam, and will be a double promotion. The thesis discusses how the Pacification Police was first introduced in the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, in Cidade de Deus e Santa Marta while the model for an alternative policing was still being developed. Palloma Menezes analyses the process by describing the way the actors involved – the residents, police, policy makers, and media – investigate and imagine the behaviour of the others. Palloma is still writing her thesis; the defence at the VU University Amsterdam is expected at the end of 2014. The thesis is supervised by Prof. Kees Koonings and Dr. Marjo de Theije. Tinkering territory: land conflicts in the face of palm oil expansion in Northeast Pará Nele Odeur (2012-2016) Nele’s project takes place within the framework of ENGOV, a research project funded by the European Commission. In 2013 she prepared the 20 PhD Projects and fellows second draft of her research proposal while following the CERES PhD course on Research Design. Subsequently, between the end of July and the end of October Nele conducted fieldwork in Pará in the municipalities of Tomé-Açu and Acará. After fieldwork she started writing her first article. The aim of Nele’s PhD research is to analyse how the principal actors involved in the expansion of oil palm cultivation in the Northeast of Pará – companies and the rural population – use, piece together, reshape and/or reinvent parts of different institutional arrangements to support their territorial goals. Both the Brazilian Biodiesel Programme and the Sustainable Oil Palm Programme have contributed to a massive expansion of oil palm cultivation in Pará state. It has put pressure on the land and gave rise to a heated land market with sky-rocketing land prices. Hence, it can be considered as an accelerating process of land grabbing by companies, justified through discourses about energy/fuel security and climate change mitigation. Rural population groups have used diverse strategies to cope with it. These strategies are primarily based on opportunities offered by government policies. It has led to the fragmentation of the rural population in multiple groups with different identities and survival strategies. These bottom-up strategies can basically be divided in two groups: integration and resistance strategies. The research will primarily focus on resistance strategies, stemming from population groups without formal landownership, such as landless peasants, squatters or traditional communities. Cleaver’s theory of Institutional Bricolage (2002, 2012) will be used as analytical framework for the research. Supervisors are Dr Fabio de Castro, Dr Barbara Hogenboom and Prof. Michiel Baud. Gypsiness at Stake. Identity Politics in Argentina, 1890-Present Aleksandra Pudliszak (2012-2016) In 2013 Aleksandra Pudliszak continued her PhD project which was awarded with a Mosaic grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in 2012. The research uses a wide variety of European and Latin American sources – ranging from photography, government reports, personal letters, newspapers to oral history – in order to reconstruct immigration to Argentina of groups commonly known in Spanish Latin America as ´gitanos´. Towards the end of the 19th century the mass immigration from Europe to the New World intensified and Argentina turned into the continent’s most significant receiver of immigrants. Also gitanos crossed the Atlantic ´to make it in America´. The research aims to critically examine this specific migration wave to Argentina and the connection to the building of the Argentine nation-state. The project intends to go beyond methodological nationalism (Glick Schiller, 1992) by including relevant regional and international developments into the analysis. CEDLA Annual Report 2013 21 The case study has been chosen as the most appropriate method to understand how actors construct their sense of belonging in narratives and daily practices. The focus lies on communities of gitanos in Buenos Aires. By taking the family as a unit of analysis the project aims to gain a deeper understanding of historical and contemporary transnational mobility of gitanos. In doing so, the research aims to contribute, in the critical way, to the current debates on ethnicity. By studying gitanos in an under-researched yet important context, the project hopes to connect to the past investigations on mobility in Europe as well as to a better understanding of the present migration waves. Aleksandra participated in a workshop ‘The Uses of History in Romani Studies: Theory and Practice’, organised by the University of Liverpool in May. She was also visiting researcher in the library of the IberoAmerikanische Institut in Berlin from July to October before going on fieldwork in Argentina. This project is supervised by Prof. Michiel Baud. Ethnonationalisms and Conflict in Bolivia: the Role of International Aid Agencies in Ethnic Politics and the Reconstruction of Indigenous Identities Juanita Sánchez Roca (2010-2014) Between January and April 2013, Juanita Roca finished writing the draft chapter about the TIPNIS conflict and the indígena-campesino/ cocalero conflicts. In April 2013, she made one last trip to Santa Cruz and Cochabamba, each for 10 days to attend the conferences about the indigenous consultation for the TIPNIS road, which was organised by the Bolivian Human Rights Commission and the Catholic Church. She also conducted a second round of interviews. Many of the actors were not available during the fieldwork of 2012, because they were very busy during and immediately before and after the indigenous marches in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, when the political unrest was over, they were more willing to talk. This is why 2013 was also dedicated to some more field work and visits to institutions such as CIDOB, CEJIS, IBID Denmark and CIPCA. Juanita presented a paper at the LASA Conference in May in the panel ‘Bolivian Lowlands: current and historical perspectives’. Her paper was called: ‘Indigenous identity discourses and the state within the TIPNIS conflict in Amazonian Bolivia: flourishing identities from the 1990s to Evo Morales´ hegemony’. Between June and November 2013, she wrote the introduction to the dissertation and the chapter about the Integrationist Indigenismo Paradigm from the 1950s and 1960s in Latin America. This project is supervised by Prof. Michiel Baud. 22 PhD Projects and fellows No Trecho dos Garimpos: Mobilidade, gênero e modos de viver na garimpagem de ouro Amazônica Leticia da Luz Tedesco (2009-2013) This project is the result of research collaboration between UFRGS (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul) and VU University Amsterdam, and will be a double promotion. Leticia’s project addresses the role of women in the gold mining settlements in northern Brazil. The thesis presents the female work and mobility between jobs and roles, from prostitution to bartender to housewife and vice versa. It emphasis important codes of conduct and thin lines between different positions. Leticia finished the first version of her thesis in 2013 and will hopefully defend it before the end of 2014. The thesis is supervised by Prof. Michiel Baud and Dr. Marjo de Theije. Indigenous rights and legal consciousness in Ecuador (completed 2013) Marc Simon Thomas (2008-2013) Dissertation Marc Simon Thomas. Photo by Hein Athmer Marc Simon Thomas successfully defended his dissertation The Challenge of Legal Pluralism: Local Dispute Settlement and the Indian-State Relationship in Ecuador on 23 October at the Utrecht University. His CEDLA Annual Report 2013 23 supervisors were Prof. Michiel Baud and Prof. Patrick Eisenlohr (Utrecht University). The dissertation analyses how internal conflicts among indigenous inhabitants of the Ecuadorian highlands are being settled in a situation of formal legal pluralism, and what can be learned from this in terms of Indian-State relationships. It is shown that, on a local level, the phenomenological dimension of legal pluralism can be termed ‘interlegality’. On a more macro level, ontological assumptions underscore that legal pluralism is still seen as a dichotomy between customary law and national law. The in-depth analysis of disputes in the rural parish of Zumbahua reveals that the perception and use of two different legal systems on the part of ordinary Indians reflect that, at the local level, these systems are mixed to such an extent that they have resulted in the creation of a new system, a reality that was obtained in the villages of the Ecuadorian Andes for decades prior to the promulgation of formal legal pluralism. On a regional and national level, however, legal pluralism is understood as a jurisprudential process with more sharply defined boundaries. Indigenous authorities as well as state representatives (i.e., lawyers, judges and politicians) purposely seem to test the legal and political boundaries between customary law and national law. The legal void thus provides a space in which jurisdiction can be asserted. The use of customary law in a situation of formal legal pluralism is thus used to increase power rather than to settle a conflict. Nowadays, Marc works as an interim lecturer at various Dutch Universities (Leiden, Utrecht, and Wageningen), while he is also writing articles and preparing a NWO Grant Proposal. Governability, public security and legitimacy: local government and Police in Bogotá, Colombia (1995-2014) Håvar Solheim (2011-2015) Håvar Solheim began his research in April 2011 and has since then carried out numerous academic tasks. During 2013, the second chapter, which is a historical analysis, was finalised. In addition to this, the third chapter, which is an analytical analysis of the PhD thesis was elaborated and submitted as well. During this period he has also actively participated at the Political Legitimacy (PolLeg) seminar, which is an integral part of the programme ‘Profileringsgebied Politieke Legitimiteit’ at Leiden University (a multi-disciplinary research group with monthly working meetings with other PhD students and staff members). During the spring semester of 2013 he gave tutorial sessions of the course History Latin America, given by Prof. Patricio Silva, as part of the Area studies at International Studies at Leiden University, Campus The Hague. This collaborative PhD project between Leiden University and CEDLA which started in 2011 will last until 2015. Supervisors of this project are Prof. Patricio Silva (Leiden University) and Prof. Kees Koonings (Utrecht University /CEDLA). 24 PhD Projects and fellows In the Name of the Victims? Victim-Survivor Associations Negotiating For Recognition in Post-Conflict Peru Mijke de Waardt (2008-2014) Mijke de Waardt will defend her dissertation on 8 October 2014 at the VU University. Mijke’s supervisors are Prof. Michiel Baud, Dr. Ton Salman (VU University) and Dr. Arij Ouweneel. The dissertation explores transitional justice practices in the aftermath of the internal armed conflict (1980-2000) in Peru. It analysed the role of victim-survivor associations by considering the ways that organised victim-survivors, as well as governmental and non-governmental organisations, make sense of victim-survivors’ framing of priorities for transitional justice. The study demonstrates that these processes are the result of interactions with structural social, spatial and economic conditions as well as conditions related to domestic politics and international development cooperation. This is demonstrated in the fact that legal categories based on international or humanitarian law are important, but are not imperative for all notions used for defining victimhood status. Semantic notions of the uses of victimhood are produced, contested, negotiated, and neglected depending on an interplay between internal and external definitions. This is also demonstrated in that despite the fact that NGOs and victim-survivor associations share objectives within the context of transitional justice in Peru, there is currently no natural affinity among such organisations. This is the result of an embeddedness of these organisations in various dependency relationships that have created boundaries among organisations. Also the civic inclusive expectation of transitional justice, framed through a call for compensation, demonstrates that the conditions of victim-survivors cannot be excluded from a debate on the appropriate transitional justice mechanisms, or the political and private claims organised victim-survivors make with respect to transitional justice. The study proposes that it is crucial to include the origin and development of grassroots associations of victim-survivors as well as their predicaments and demands as integrated elements into research efforts on transitional justice. Mijke currently works as a lecturer at the VU University since September 2013. Tracing the Nicaraguan Prisoner: Moving between Marginality, Violence, and Change Julienne Weegels (2013-2017) Though by definition restricted in their mobility, prisoners are in many ways as mobile as any other citizen – perhaps even more so. They move between scripts, from ‘delinquent’ to ‘changed man’ and back, crossing and bending the symbolic and real boundaries of the prison compound. As ‘delinquents’ they are key transgressors of social order. Locating this CEDLA Annual Report 2013 25 Fieldwork Julienne Weegels [1&2]: ensayo teatro libre. Photo by Julienne Weegels research in the midst of the prisoner’s processes of adaptation to the institution’s order and its re-educational programmes is to locate it at the heart of the conflicting ideas that set the ‘delinquent’ aside from ‘society’ and define what he must become in order to return. The ability or inability for social actors (such as prisoners) to move between differing ideas – those of violence and those of change – becomes a pivotal element of their success (be it in either of the worlds), and hence of this ethnographic study. It is then through the prisoner’s shifting identities, bodily artefacts, and movement that this research attempts to shed a social, cultural, and 26 PhD Projects and fellows historical light on Nicaragua’s struggles of power over the state institutions of control, mediated imagery of crime, and reworking of the pandilla (street gang) delinquent style – all of which directly reflect on the prisoner and his environment. With her research Julienne aims to contribute to bridging the widening gap between research on criminal violence in Nicaragua and the same sort of violence in the Northern triangle of Central America where the surge of the maras (transnational gangs) led to an explosion of academic interest. By contributing with in-depth ethnographic research to prison studies and the emerging field of cultural criminology her research intends to shed light on discourses of crime, violence, and change in Nicaragua both from and on prisoners. Supervisor of the project is Prof. Michiel Baud. Fellows Oriana Almeida, Centre for Advanced Amazonian Studies (NAEA), University of Pará, Brazil (June –September) Dr. Almeida visited CEDLA as a post-doc in the context of the collaborative research programme Nuffic-CAPES. During her time at CEDLA, she worked on two articles for academic journals. One article is focused on the formalisation of local fishing management systems in the Amazonian estuary, and the other is focused on local fishing monitoring system in the Lower Amazon. Both articles are in collaboration with Dr. Fabio de Castro and other colleagues. The former has been submitted to the journal ‘Human Organization’ and is currently under review, the other is in final writing stage. In addition, she has worked with Fabio de Castro in the co-supervision of the PhD student Shaji Thomas who is also part of the same research programme. Finally, Dr. Almeida participated in the Nuffic-CAPES research progress meetings in July. Javier Corrales, Professor of Political Science at Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts (May – July) During his time at CEDLA in 2013, Javier Corrales worked on two articles for academic journals.

In June he presented this latter paper in the Department of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam. In addition, he served as a discussant during a lecture by Gerardo González at CEDLA. In May he was also invited as a guest lecturer for a class at the CEDLA Annual Report 2013 27 Leiden University School of Law (The Hague campus). His topic was, ‘The Politics of LGBT Rights in Latin America: Why Argentina’. He was also invited to offer a full-day workshop at the ECPR Summer School on Latin American Politics, hosted by the German Institute of Global and Area Studies (GIGA), Hamburg, Germany. The workshop, entitled: ‘Democracy and the Resource Curse’, was an abridged version of the class he taught at CEDLA. Leopoldo Gerhardinger, MA, NEPAM-UNICAMP, Brazil (April – September) Leopoldo C. Gerhardinger is a PhD candidate in Environment and Society at the Centre for Environmental Studies (NEPAM), University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. He holds a BSc in Oceanography (Universidade do Vale do Itajaí, Santa Catarina, Brazil – 2004) and an MSc in Conservation (University College London – 2008). His general research interests ranges from marine ecology and ethnoecology to the theory and practice of governance. Through the PhD he is investigating the role of key people in the governability and innovation of a large Brazilian coastal marine protected area named Baleia Franca [Southern-Right Whale] Environmental Protection Area. He is affiliated with a marine conservation NGO ECOMAR, with whom he engages with various facets of coastal and marine governance in Brazil through research-action approaches in co-designing and delivering marine conservation projects of various sorts and at various levels. As a research fellow for the Earth System Governance project, he is currently engaged in the development of a Future Ocean Alliance with the general aim of bridging knowledge networks for better ocean governance. Leopoldo is also actively involved in promoting trans-disciplinary/institutional networks across coastal Brazil, using web-based social media tools to advance new types of voluntary engagement for improved governability of the oceans. Leopoldo worked on his PhD thesis research at CEDLA until September 2013 under the supervision of Fabio de Castro. Leandro Belinaso Guimarães, UFSC-Centro de Ciencias da Educaçao, Brazil (February – July) Leandro Guimarães is assistant professor at the Department of Teaching Methodology of Santa Catarina Federal University/Brazil. He received his PhD in Education at the Rio Grande do Sul Federal University, Brazil, in 2007. His project aims to research the ways in which we are taught about ‘environmental sustainability’, through images, mainly published in journalistic artefacts in Brazil. This survey studies some images published especially at the Brazilian press, particularly in the newspaper O Estado de 28 PhD Projects and fellows São Paulo (The State of São Paulo), a major Brazilian newspaper with relevant news coverage about ‘sustainability’. The research attempts to think about these images in pedagogical practices with teachers in Brazil. He worked together with Fabio de Castro from February until July. During this period Leandro developed several activities: in-depth literature search on journalistic images in Brazil and on sustainability and education; writing of three academic manuscripts, submitted to different publication outlets; participation in two academic events in Amsterdam and one international conference in Morocco on environmental education. Dr. Sergio Rivero, University of Pará, Brazil (June-September) Dr. Rivero visited CEDLA as a post-doc in the context of the collaborative research programme Nuffic-CAPES. During his time at CEDLA, he worked on an article for an academic journal focused on institutional incentives for sustainable timber industry in the Brazilian Amazon. He finalised the first draft of this article in collaboration with Fabio de Castro and other colleagues to be presented at an international conference in 2014. In addition, he participated in the Nuffic-CAPES research progress meetings in July.

Hearn (University of Sydney), Dr. Barbara Hogenboom, Dr M.P. Amineh (IIAS). The rise of China, coupled with the global financial crisis, is raising questions among policy architects and economic advisers about the optimal balance of government and market forces in world affairs. It has now become clear that the state, particularly in developing countries, is once again playing a more assertive role in economic management. Meanwhile, the state-led economy of Cuba is undergoing reforms to stimulate private entrepreneurship. China’s influence in Cuba’s reform process is strong, spanning everything from investment in the energy sector to finance for small businesses and wholesale supply for emerging industries. This presentation examines how Cuba, with China’s support, is designing a new and more effective approach to mixing state and market forces for economic development.” 35 36 Publications and activities by CEDLA staff Christien Klaufus ‘Authors meets Critics, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research’.

Courses can be adjusted to the students’ own university departments to meet extra requirements, such as an extended paper, and additional examination or extra literature. A selection of courses is also open to non-students for a small fee. Participating students complete an evaluation questionnaire at the end of the course which is used as a guideline to improve the design and content of the course. The course programme offers an introductory (basic) course, a number of courses from a specific discipline, regional courses, and lecturas guiadas (guided literature studies). In the academic year 2012-2013, a total of 15 different courses (including three required CMP courses: Introduction Course, Fieldwork Course, and Post-Fieldwork Course) were given at CEDLA 256 students were registered in one or more courses, and 186 completed a course in this year. The introductory Basiscursus for BA students overviewing some main aspects of history and development of Latin America was presented in two parts, each with separate examinations. BA Basiscursus II Thema’s en Regio’s in Latijns Amerika (Themes and Regions in Latin America) was a follow up of BA Basiscursus I: Kennismaking met Latijns Amerika (Introduction to Latin America) and focused on a selection of countries and emergent topics in Latin America. The course encompassed lectures by different staff members and addressed social changes in rural and urban areas in the region and how they are connected with local, national and global processes. CEDLA offers BA students the possibility of taking a package of related courses at the BA level that together lead to a minor in Latin American Studies. This opportunity to do a minor in Latin American Studies is in in line with the expanded options offered by most BA programmes at Dutch Universities. The minor can also effectively serve to prepare students for the CEDLA Master’s Programme. In the academic year 2012-2013 nine candidates successfully completed the minor in Latin American Studies. CEDLA Annual Report 2013 39 The MA course programme was significantly restructured in the academic year 2013-2013 by the introduction of two research-related courses, RL1 and RL2 (see page 27), focusing on natural and cultural resource use in Latin America. In addition, as series of tutorials called lecturas guiadas complemented the course programme in a made-to-measure form appealing to both students and scholars. CEDLA Master’s Programme (CMP) and Course Programme Masters graduation As the CMP programme is offered in English (since September 2011), the promotion campaign continued, focusing on Dutch scholars and scholars worldwide. The campaign started early in the academic year and included three information meetings at CEDLA. The number of interested students from abroad increased significantly, although due to problems related to finances and visa requirements, not all international students that were accepted to the CMP have been able to start the programme. The CMP students 2012-2013 participated in the Master’s Programme from September 2012 to December 2013. They carried out their fieldwork 40 Teaching Programme in different parts of Latin America: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. CEDLA Alumni Society Amsterdam (CASA) In line with recommendations of the NVAO visitation, CEDLA founded the CEDLA Alumni Society Amsterdam (CASA) to maintain relations with our alumni. A first meeting for alumni was held by CASA and NALACS in April 2013 on entrepreneurship and finding a job outside academics after the CEDLA Master’s Programme. Max Wohlgemuth Kitslaar (alumnus 2008), Wendele van der Wiele (alumna 2009) and Saskia van Drunen (alumna 2002) shared their personal experiences on this topic. The accreditation and formal registration of the CEDLA Master’s Programme in the CROHO holds for the period May 2011 till end of May 2017.

CEDLA Annual Report 2013 45 46 Library Library In 2014 CEDLA was greatly occupied with moving offices from the Keizersgracht to the Van Tienhoven building in the Roetersstraat in Amsterdam. Though it was a major operation for CEDLA as a whole, there were special challenges for the library. It was necessary to prepare and execute moving the extensive collection dispersed over several floors in a relatively short time. All was accomplished smoothly thanks to the tireless efforts of the temporary and permanent library personnel. Relocation In preparation for the move, the current collection and the books that were donated were checked for doubles, and these were given away. To fit more than 1500 running metres of books and journals in the new premises, a plan was made for the arrangement of the collection. Then books were rearranged prior to the move in preparation for the new premises. Unfortunately, a major setback became apparent during the move. The building was not constructed to house a heavy library collection. Another premise was found in a building on the Roeterseiland campus to house a selection of the collection. This will hopefully be a temporary solution. The new premises The library is housed on the 5th and 2nd floors of the Van Tienhoven building. The information and loan desk is located at the back of the 5th floor as well as the display cabinets for journals and 50 per cent of the collection on open shelves. There is sufficient study area and four computers for users. Wi-Fi is also available for visitors with their own laptops. On the 2nd floor 25 per cent of the collection is available in half-open stacks. The remainder of the collection, which is most of the journals and 20 per cent of the books, is stored in an adjacent building and is available to visitors upon request. CEDLA Annual Report 2013 47 Activities In spite of the extra workload for the move, the library continued its normal activities of lending books and extending the collection with new acquisitions. 1500 new books were added to the collection. Due to the uncertain circumstances related to the new housing, the number of loans were down in 2013 to about 3700, with an additional 200 through ILL – Interlibrary Loan.

The winners of the scholarships in 2013 were: Gijs Cremers: On the construction and use of territorial narratives at the junction of local interests and global processes. Karen Hudlet Vázquez: A sweet or bitter alliance? Different identities; expectations and narratives enclosed in regional movements against Genetically Modified Soy. NALACS – Netherlands Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies The Netherlands Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (Nalacs) is an association for everyone in the Netherlands who is interested in Latin America and Caribbean. Nalacs, which has its office in the CEDLA building, is made up of academics and professionals with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds united by their passion for Latin America and the Caribbean. Every year Nalacs organises activities to promote debate on issues related to the region. In 2013, Nalacs continued its partnership with the Latin American Film Festival. As part of the program track ‘Art=Power’ a debate was organised around the screening of the documentary ‘Granito: How to Nail a Dictator’. It was chaired by Edwin Koopman Arij. Ouweneel, Elisabet Rasch (Wageningen) and Christine Wagner (Hivos) provided commentary on the film. In collaboration with Amnesty International, Nalacs organised a meeting with Mexican journalist Sergio Haro, which was held at CEDLA. The meeting was part of the Movies that Matter Festival – A Matter of ACT (21-27 March, The Hague). Sergio Haro is the protagonist of the documentary Reportero (Bernardo Ruiz, 2012) and has been working as a reporter in the Baja California region for almost three decades. He has firsthand experience with activist journalism amidst unceasing violence. The meeting drew a diverse audience of students, academics, professionals and others interested in journalism, violence and corruption in Latin America. 54 Fellowship Programmes and affiliated organisations In cooperation with CASA, the CEDLA Alumni association, Nalacs organised a masterclass entitled ‘Self-employment & Latin American Studies: Is creating business a way to work with Latin America?’. This seminar was aimed at students and recent graduates of Latin American studies. Three young scholars shared their experiences on the labour market. Pitou van Dijck (CEDLA MA-coordinator) and Jeanette Kloosterman (Nalacs, Oxfam Novib) chaired the discussion. Nalacs also sponsors a thesis award, and welcomes initiatives by members to organise events related to the Nalacs mission. OLA – Researchers Latin America OLA is a forum where PhD students of different disciplines and Dutch universities, dealing with a variety of themes and debates yet sharing a regional focus on Latin America, can read and comment on each other’s work. In addition, OLA is a meeting point for students as well as for universities that want to organise activities concerning Latin America, or that wish to get in contact with PhD students (AIO’s) who are doing research in this region. Flyers with our new address are handed out.
