- 22/02/19 Climate Change yet Business as Usual: Parable of Sustainable Rural #Cities in #Chiapas , #Mexico
Aylin Topal, Middle East Technical University, Ankara
This lecture situates rural reconstruction projects, which have been implemented since the late 2000s in Chiapas, in the context of climate change and new rural #development perspectives on sustainability. #AylinTopal aims to make the case that the concept of #sustainability has in practice increasingly been accommodating the logic of #capitalist accumulation and #exploitation . In particular, #rural #reconstruction projects in #Chiapas have been dressed as #sustainableruralcities with an alleged aim to contain rural poverty, yet these projects aim at integrating #localeconomy into the world market. The lecture will illustrate that the #SustainableRuralCities ( #SRC ) projects aim to make #ruralpoverty sustainable in converting #peasants into #ruralindustrialproletariat , dispossessing them of their #land to be used for more productive (i.e. profitable) aims. In the face of #climatechange , the concept of #sustainability has been redefined as business as usual.
TIME: 15:30-17h
VENUE: #CEDLA , Roetersstraat 33, 1018 WB Amsterdam
