¡Perro!

Fenomenal: parte del ensayo visual que Soledad Marambio va a estar presentando en nuestro panel de LASA el miércoles próximo con Vladia Luna, John Soluri y yo. Si están por ahí, ¡vengan!

🐟¿La “Revolución Azul” o un nuevo capítulo del extractivismo? En #LASA2026 discutiremos la salmonicultura y sus impactos ambientales, políticos y más-que-humanos, desde #Chile hacia el resto de América Latina. #Salmonicultura #SalmonFarming #Aquaculture @lasabluesky.bsky.social

La salmonicultura está cambiando el mapa social y ambiental latinoamericano, desde Chile hacia el resto de la región. Si están en LASA la semana que viene, los esperamos:

With the world’s fate hanging from the Strait of Hormuz right now, never a better time to discuss petrocultures. Here, how Norway (which benefits from the war more than most) transpires oil every time it tells a story. Free download here: ecozona.eu/article/view...

"America, América" by @GregGrandin already was one of the best history books about the region. Now it is also an urgent one. I wrote about that and discussed the idea of Latin America and its "immanent critique" to the U.S. "Thirty Yards from Revolution" www.theideasletter.org/essay/thirty...

I guess we all have a story to tell, including the country that brought wild salmon population to the brink of extinction. "They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum." It never gets old. www.hola.com/us/lifestyle...

The US has already killed more people in their military strikes against civilian boats in Latin America during the last two months (83, almost all civilians) than during the entire Grenada Invasion of 1983 (69 Grenadian and Cuban fighters).

On Tuesday, Norway “paused” the work of the ethics council of its sovereign wealth fund, so it can keep its cozy relationship w/ Israel & big tech. For those interested, Ecozon@ just published what I wrote on Norwegian identity and it’s entanglement with oil&extractivism. ecozona.eu/article/view...

Here @andrewmueller.bsky.social was asking about optimism, Mileism, Peronism and if Milei is something really new (short answer: Yes.)

Scott Bessent (and Summers before him) sees that the battle for the U.S. soul is in Latin America, between their liberal allies and even the most modesta ttempts for empathy and social reform. Banks and carriers, or welfare and joy. He got the song wrong, but the clash right.

En Chile, la candidata oficialista de centroizquierda va contra una de derecha, uno de ultraderecha, y otro de ultra-ultra derecha. Todos apoyan menos controles, menos impuestos, más subsidios. Hay más consenso sobre las salmoneras que sobre la democracia. eldesconcierto.cl/2025/07/23/d...

On Perón and "Rerum Novarum", and how he thought it as a means for the evangelization of a labor base of Marxist and Anarchist background into what will be known as "Third Position" or simply Peronism. Not bad for today's standards of conservative barbaric nightmare...
