How to translate the term vivir sabroso, and it's history and relationship to terms like vivir bien. In Revista Lüvo at fundacionluvo.org.
Peace is often represented as a matter of time, as a political state that happens after war. This special issue contests this linear and binary view by giving an account of being and thinking between the boundaries of peace and war. It challenges mainstream ideas, political discourses, and collective imaginaries about the location of violence, peac...
Though Geography began as a tool of empire and war, now some of us are using this master's tool to dismantle the master's house. But we are tweaking the tool in various ways to make it more liberatory. People's geography aims to take Geography to the streets, and the streets to the ivory tower. It works to popularize radical geography, and radicali...
This forum discusses the concept of ‘total peace’ (paz total) and the notion of ‘peace regions’ (regiones de paz) recently coined by the government of Colombia to advance in the implementation of the Peace Accords signed back in 2016 with the guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces FARC. Broadly drawing on a radical and critical geopolitics pe...
En una época de creciente (in)seguridad estatal, existen grupos que se están uniendo por su cuenta para construir seguridades alternativas noviolentas. Establecen conexiones a través de la distancia y la diferencia que se centran en la seguridad de los cuerpos (a menudo con moverlos), y aterrizan la geopolítica en la vida cotidiana. El término anti...
White women in Colombia are called "mona" and various techniques are used for whitening, as whiteness continues to be associated not just with being attractive but also with modernity, progress, and even peace. This article examines how whiteness has been imagined and practiced in Colombia to deepen understanding of how race and space are socially...
Tener empatía y respeto por uno mismo y por los demás cuando se entabla un diálogo difícil es una parte esencial de la Educación para la Paz. La comunicación no violenta (CNV), desarrollada por Marshall Rosenberg, es una herramienta para fomentar la empatía y crear conexiones a través de las diferencias. Utilizar la CNV para las conversaciones difí...
Having empathy and respect for oneself and others when engaging in difficult dialogue is an essential part of peace education. Gandhi emphasized that involving emotions was more transformative than purely intellectual approaches to education. Nonviolent communication (NVC), as developed by Marshall Rosenberg, is a tool for fostering empathy and bui...
Colombia is struggling to implement what is far and away the world's most inclusive peace accord. As such, it is a useful case for thinking about what peace means, how it means different things to different people, and how to build peace across difference. Geographers widely agree that peace is an ongoing spatial process that varies across time and...
There is a long history of radical peace organising around the world, and indeed by geographers, who since 1891 have been arguing that “peace should not be the peace of death”. Feminist pacifist Jane Addams argued in 1899 that peace was not merely the end of war, but that “positive ideals of peace” are built day to day by “the people” even in the m...
The essays collected in this forum discuss the political geography of the recent Colombian Peace Agreements, which aim to put an end to one of the most long lasting armed conflicts in Latin America. Central to many arguments in this accord is the concept of “territorial peace”. From a range of different academic disciplines and perspectives, the au...
Although there has been a good deal of political and research focus on including women in peace negotiations at various levels and through various mechanisms, with an emphasis on involving women’s civil society organizations, there has been much less attention paid to the ongoing role of women’s groups in the implementation process and their import...
This is a short popular version of the article 'Beware, your research may be weaponized'. This version has actual hacks for protecting yourself. It is online at https://theconversation.com/weaponised-research-how-to... more abstract
Peace is never clearly distinct from war. War is inside peace, and peace is inside war. Peace is not a separate end point to achieve in time or space, but a precarious sociospatial process that is remade every day. Peace means different things at different scales, as well as to different groups and at different times and places. It is shaped by the...
This is a reviewer's response to a video submission to ACME by Kelvin Mason.
note that an updated and more in depth English version was published in 2020 as Building an inclusive peace is an uneven socio-spatial process: Colombia's differential approach
Geography, although long used for war, offers powerful tools for making peace. Yet in a context of pervasive surveillance and high military interest in geography, it is important to be cautious that research is not misused or even weaponized (used by armed actors to do harm). This possibility should be more explicitly discussed in methods classes,...

Political geography traditionally focused on state, but there has been a broadening of what counts as ‘doing politics’ that includes the work of social movements. Much of this work though uses analytical categories other than social movement, and these are reviewed and included here. Geographers have brought space into thinking about social movemen...
In the runup to Mayday 2014 the special issue editors invited activists to comment on a range of questions about their experience of solidarity work and its practical challenges. We’ve edited the responses together into a single piece which we hope will provoke reflection!
In an age of increasing state (in)security, some are coming together on their own to build alternative nonviolent securities. They are making connections across distance and difference which focus on the safety of bodies (often by actually moving bodies), and ground geopolitics in everyday life. The term anti-geopolitics focuses on resistance to he...
a review of the book Feminisms in geography: rethinking space, place, and knowledges by Pamela Moss, Karen Falconer Al-Hindi http://books.google.com/books?id=z_7OPl1cQe4C&dq=feminisms+geography&source=gbs_navlinks_s
The School of the Americas (SOA) is a U.S. Army school that trains Latin American military officers. Manuals released detail torture techniques once taught at the school, and thousands of graduates have been linked to human rights abuses. The annual vigil in front of Fort Benning is the largest ongoing protest and civil disobedience against U.S. im...
Imperialism affects "here" as well as "there". White middle class women have historically gotten out of the home and gained more of a Self by being good helpers, classically as teachers and missionaries. In this role they consolidated empire's power, often unintentionally. Today the good helper role is being widely used, not only by white women, to...
Rumors were that 90 women were raped in the youth camp at the Fifth World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, in January of 2005. Later reports were that there had been two. Yet the rumors speak to how the space of the forum is socially produced and what sort of space it is. How does space then shape the forum and what we can do from there? Lefebvre argu...
