“…Roughly one-third of all hydrosocial texts incorporate governance as a key topic. Nineteen of those articles were theoretical interventions, while the rest involved place-based analyses from Canada (Cook 2016, Stevenson 2018 to Spain (Swyngedouw 2007, Sanchis-Ibor et al 2017, Duarte-Abadia et al 2019 to Peru (Carey et al 2014, Yacoub et al 2016, Mark et al 2017, Damonte and Boelens 2019.…”

This paper reviews socio-hydrology and hydrosocial research, finding a sophisticated relationship with emergent syntheses. We examined 419 papers by topic, region of study, theories implemented, journal, and year published to ascertain trends in both subfields. We found important overlap and considerable difference between subfields. Whereas hydrosocial research took years to develop, socio-hydrology commenced with an inaugural paper in 2012. While the former focuses on power and scale in studying water demand, the latter concentrates on practical responses to climate extremes. Hydrosocial research usually relies on qualitative methods, and socio-hydrology research the quantitative. In the geographic regions where the former does not focus, the latter does. The former often relies on post-structuralist theory, whereas the latter uses positivist approaches. Our review concludes that socio-hydrology and hydrosocial research exist in a complex epistemological relationship, offering fertile grounds for lively discussions from which both will continue to benefit.

“…(Participante 4) El panorama revelado por las autoridades comunales refleja la desidia y la inacción política de las instituciones del Estado peruano, cuya concepción, dicho sea de paso, gira en torno a la promoción del extractivismo, y se ufana de ser un país minero, sea por la vía formal o informal, generando múltiples conflictos socioambientales cada vez de mayores dimensiones. En ese contexto, las herramientas de monitoreo estarían pensadas e implementadas en el territorio hidro-social como un mero instrumento técnico y político (Yacoub et al, 2016) de legitimación e institucionalización, en este caso, de la minería informal. Porque, desde aquellas instancias se ___________________________________________________________________303-321 Licencia de Creative Commons Atribución 4.0 Internacional (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es establecen normas, prácticas y procesos de monitoreo, definiendo qué es y cuándo hay "contaminación".…”

“…Históricamente, la visión oficial del Perú ha sido que éste es un país eminentemente minero, por ello el Estado peruano ha sido promotor del extractivismo (Yacoub, Vos y Boelens, 2016), como tal, es el cuarto productor de plomo en el mundo, por lo que está expuesto a la contaminación ambiental producida por la explotación minera formal e informal (Astete et al, 2009), y más de medio millón de peruanos dependen directa o indirectamente de la explotación artesanal e informal de minerales, principalmente del oro, cuyo modo de explotación no repara en lo más mínimo en el cuidado del medio ambiente, ni en la aplicación de tecnologías óptimas de extracción, mitigación y biorremediación (Osores, Rojas y Manrique, 2012). Esta situación da lugar a múltiples conflictos socioambientales cada vez de mayores dimensiones.…”

The study of the social imaginary of the actors affected by environmental pollution in local areas where formal and informal mining activities take place is highly relevant to achieve the desired complementarity and harmony between development based on extractivism and the protection of the environment. The objective of the article is to analyze and interpret the feelings, thoughts, meanings and actions of the actors around the environmental pollution produced by informal and illegal mining in the Suches river basin in Cojata, Puno-Perú. The methodological design is interpretive phenomenology, because it analyzes and interprets the subjectivities and intersubjectivities of the actors, collected through: Semistructured interview, focus group and observation. As a result, the social imaginary of the actors is expressed in a strong opposition and rejection of informal and illegal mining, because in the last 15 years it would have generated harmful effects on the environment: Contamination of rivers, vegetation, animal health and human health. It is concluded that, given the radical imaginary of local actors, multilevel political actions based on approaches and sincere policies in the design and implementation of environmental management instruments are essential.

Condors, Water, and Mining: Heeding Voices from Andean Communities

This paper addresses the relationship between scholarship and activism, considering the obligations that ethnobiologists have to the communities we work with. I begin by describing the cultural meaning of Andean condors (Vultur gryphus) in Peru through their connections to mountains and water in various forms, and the condor's role as guardian and protector. My research on condors led me to Indigenous beliefs and practices regarding sacred mountains and water, and from this to the threats against the environment posed by international mining operations. This discussion highlights questions concerning the scholar's role in situations of environmental destruction and political conflict in relation to structural violence, the mass media, and climate change. At a time when those who protect the land and water are endangered around the globe, the decisions we make while conducting research carry responsibilities for the consequences of our actions, even as these consequences ripple out beyond our specific locality and our original intentions.
