The expansion of neoliberalization of fisheries in developing countries has been largely driven by political economic decisions. Artisanal fisheries and aquaculture have not been exempt from these privatization measures, the implementation of deregulation measures in the fisheries sector, and commoditization strategies oriented mainly to exports. H...
Alicia Ely Yamin offers a journey through a half a century of struggle for the recognition and expansion of human rights in their social, economic and cultural dimensions, focusing on the right to health and, more specifically, on the sexual and reproductive health rights of women. This chronological journey examines laws and regulations, decision‐...
Domestic workers in Spain occupy a vulnerable position in the labor market and in society in general, due to economic, legal and cultural factors. This vulnerability manifests itself in the defenselessness of workers in front of state justice. This chapter deals with the logic of some judicial conflicts between domestic workers and employers—confli...
This volume offers a new theoretical approach to the analysis of the law/revenge binary, and attempts to dismantle the common idea of revenge as lacking any legal, moral or rational dimension. In contrast, the book puts forward a model of a complex system of justice—which it terms 'vindicatory'—wherein vendetta constitutes an authorized action, the...
The extractivism of brown algae in northern Chile The extraction and collection of brown algae (huiros) showed an exponential increase in the early 2000s. This fishery is transformed into extractive due to the international demand for raw material for the production of alginate (a product widely used in the textile and food industries). Its analysi...
Domestic workers in Spain occupy a vulnerable position in the labor market, and in society in general, due to economic, legal and cultural factors. Because of this vulnerability, they are frequently accused of crimes by their employers, in particular theft, robbery or fraud. These accusations, in fact, hide work-related motives and reveal the defen...
As a central element of certain systems of justice, revenge-feuding actions are usually consid-ered as unregulated responses to offenses and misbehaviours modern law has solved and dis-placed. On the contrary, the theoretical paradigm of "vindicatory justice" highlights how these actions are not spontaneous reactions. Rather, they are submitted to...

Shuar communities in southeastern Ecuador are receiving collective property titles to their ancestral lands. This is being done as a way to guarantee their material and cultural survival, but the titling triggers sociocultural changes and conflict and its outcomes depend largely on the way it is implemented. The consequences of the titling process...
En Ecuador, el reconocimiento de las justicias indígenas por el Estado se da en un escenario donde el marco legal ha sido solo parcialmente concretado, los distintos pueblos ancestrales discuten su propio modelo de justicia y mantienen una relación ambigua con la justicia estatal. Este artículo observa la realidad jurídica de uno de estos pueblos,...
The contention that property is, basically, a relationship between people (among whom entitlements, privileges and duties regarding certain things are distributed), and not an individual relationship between the owner and his/her property, has been widely argued for in Law studies and in Anthropology. In the aim of providing empirical data to suppo...
In Palmeiral, a squatter settlement on the outskirts of Salvador de Bahia, to acquire and keep a house depends centrally on a social performance: one has to be seen as a respectable person who is integrated into a vicinality (a network of interrelationship and exchange of favours between families/households). However, maintaining this position may...

Exclusion and violence affect the population of Brazilian favelas to a
Tesina que recoge el trabajo de campo etnográfico desarrollado durante 2005 en la periferia de Salvador de Bahía, estudiando la regularización (entrega de títulos para formalizar la ocupación) de un barrio formado por distintos procesos de ocupación informal, así como el contexto político, económico y social específico.

A partir de evidencias etnográficas de este caso, y recurriendo a autores como Berger y Luckmann, Mary Douglas o Roger Bartra, se efectúa una reflexión sobre las causas que m...

Eduardo Sevilla Guzmán il·lustra l’especificitat de vàries disciplines centrades en el medi rural a partir de la seva pròpia experiència. Tal i com explica en l’entrevista, la seva deriva cap a les Ciències Socials es degué a la necessitat de sostreure’s al domini que els interessos de latifundistes i multinacionals exercien sobre la recerca en l’e...
