Resistance and Knowledge Production: Social Movements as Producers of Theory and Praxis

Caitlin Schroering

Abstract: Con base en el trabajo de campo con el Movimento dos Atingidos por Barragens (MAB), la autora argumenta que la lucha del MAB no se trata solo de los afectados por los proyectos de represas, sino que forma parte de un proyecto más amplio de “alterglobalización”. Laautora postula que el MAB no es simplemente un actor del movimiento social, sino un productor de conocimiento que articula la teoría y la praxis de resistir al sistema imperialista hegemónico más grande.

This article discusses strategies to bridge research and practice in knowledge co‐production in order to influence public policy implementation. It analyses a long‐lasting alliance between the Afro‐Colombian movement, academia and international organisations, triggering the Government's commitment to nationwide formalisation of collective territories. By combining collaborative and cartographic research, with historical and legal analysis through purposeful political advocacy, the Allies demonstrated the vulnerability of 271 untitled community lands within a socio‐territorial conflict context, emerging from competition and control over land and natural resources. This strategic alliance brought Law 70/1993 from stagnation to implementation.

Con fundamento en la interacción recursiva entre teoría y práctica y en la coproducción de conocimientos desde la ecología de saberes, se exponen los resultados colectivos de un proceso de investigación-acción. A partir de la sistematización de la experiencia de codiseño de la Alianza por los Derechos de la Naturaleza se desarrolla la propuesta teórica de los movimientos sociales como redes de experticia constituidas por tejidos y entramados diversos y a distintas escalas de cuya interacción solidaria emergen conocimientos híbridos y biocéntricos. Con esto se hacen aportes a las discusiones teóricas contemporáneas sobre la acción colectiva y los movimientos sociales, por una parte, con los debates en estudios de la ciencia, la tecnología, y los estudios internacionales, por otro, y se muestra la relevancia de su articulación en una mirada comprensiva de la acción colectiva desde la ontología política del diseño.

Globally, one in eight people lacks access to potable water; more people die from unsafe drinking water than from all forms of violence, including war. A substantial body of research documents that the privatization of water – led by global financial institutions working in collusion with governments and corporations – does not lead to more people gaining access to safe water. In fact, the opposite is true: privatization leads to both higher cost and lower quality water. For the past century, the dominant focus of transnational organizing has been “from the West to the rest,” and the frequent attention to movements in the global North has led to the neglect of transnational linkages between movements. Drawing on fieldwork conducted on three right to water movements that span three continents (North America, South America, and Africa), this paper examines effortsto reclaim the water commons,and how struggles have been driven by grassroots movements demanding that democracy, transparency, and the human right to water are prioritized over corporate profit. As feminist scholars have pointed out, the “standpoint” offered by marginalized actors offers important insights into the operation of systems of power and the strategies of survival and resistance that less powerful actors adopt in order to survive and thrive. This paper explores how transnational movements around water and other basic rights engage with and learn from each other.
