    1. Die globale Erhitzung trifft die Bevölkerung in der Nähe des Titicacasees vor allem aufgrund der Verlandung des Sees. Übernutzung des Wassers in den Zuflüssen der Umgebung wirkt dabei verstärkend. Fiscchfang und Formen der traditionellen Landwirtschaft wie der Kartoffelanbau funktionieren zunehmend weniger, so dass z.B. auf Milchwirtschaft mit Zufütterung von Soja umgestiegen wird.

    1. Am 15. Dezember wurde Boliviens erste Fabrik zur Produktion von Lithium-Karbonat eröffnet. Die Eröffnung wurde als wichtiger Schritte bei der Industrialisierung Boliviens gefeiert. Das Land besitzt angeblich die größten Lithium-Reserven der Welt. Die Produktionskapazität liegt bei jährlich 15.000 Tonnen, das sind 10% der Weltproduktion. Zur Herstellung von Batterien ist Bolivien aber noch nicht in der Lage. https://www.liberation.fr/international/amerique/en-bolivie-lindustrialisation-des-petits-pas-pour-la-filiere-lithium-20240105_XUN36CJEWFFKXAGHYVT3UEREHY/

    1. He dedicado esta ponencia a la memoria de Rossana Brinati, bibliotecaria que nos ha dejado recientemente y que, para orgullo de todos y todas nosotras ha organizado el centro de documentación del CEDLA, uno que no solo tenía bien organizado, catalogado, clasificado, indizado y digitalizado su fondo, sino también analizado.

      Entiendo, claro, no se trata sólo de organizar una colección, sino de analizarla para saber cómo hacerla crecer y enriquecerla.

    2. Porque como bien concluyen estos autores, “Si los profesionales en ciencias de la información estamos informados por el pensamiento crítico sobre la construcción de ciudadanía, no hay nada mejor que enseñar con el ejemplo”, o, en otras palabras, si creemos en el acceso a la información como parte del ejercicio de los derechos ciudadanos, enseñemos con el ejemplo.

      No puedo creer que estas palabras estén resonando en este texto. Es un gran orgullo para mí esta referencia, muchas gracias Virginia.

      Por eso de enseñar con el ejemplo surgen iniciativas como Bibliotecarios Al Senado.

    3. los bibliotecarios David Ramirez y Virginia Simon(2018)

      ¡Virginia citó mi texto!

    4. valorar las experiencias cartoneras,

      He escuchado de esto en varios lugares, pero lo desconozco. Debería buscar de qué se trata.

    5. Todo puede y debe ser reflexionado

      Una vida no examinada no merece la pena ser vivida Sócrates

    6. Pero queda de lado, además, el carácter de ciudadano de los bibliotecarios, profesionales o no, que no ejercensu derecho al pensamiento

      Para mi mi misión como bibliotecario es fomentar la ciudadanía crítica. Aquí se cometería una doble falta bajo mi enfoque misional, porque no sólo no se permite a la comunidad su construcción de ciudadanía crítica sino que el mismo bibliotecario, además de cómplice, no ejerce su principal labor: el derecho a pensar.

      Durísimo.

    7. Y es que el pecado de estas dos instituciones fue y es ponerse “del otro lado”, del lado de las bibliotecas no neutrales, del lado de las que ofrecen información especializada y analizada, de las que creen en el acceso libre a la información

      Acceso puede implicar también análisis, que por supuesto es un acto político.

    8. CEDIB y al CEDLA

      ¿Qué significa esto?

    9. Como bibliotecaria, es decir, como lectora

      Este es el mismo planteamiento de Silvia Castrillón, que parece obvio, pero en muchos casos no se cumple: los bibliotecarios ~no leen~ no leemos y necesitamos hacer algo para evitar esto.

    10. No es que la experiencia de Rumania o la de Chuquisaca no sean valiosas, pero destacadas de ese modo, le quitan a la actividad bibliotecaria su relación con lasociedad.

      Nuestra profesión está desconectada de la realidad, como también siento que pasa con la educación y asimismo con la educación en ciencia de la información y bibliotecología.

    11. frontera petrolera y energética, mediante la explotación de gas y petróleo no convencional, con la tan cuestionada metodología extractivista de la fractura hidráulica o fracking.

      Grave. En Colombia también andamos promoviendo el fraking. Una lástima.

    12. Es decir, ¿se trata de lograr la seguridad alimentaria y mejorar la nutrición a costa de los bosques?

      ...como si los recursos fueran infinitos.

    13. Pero debido a que me han pedido esta ponencia en medio del fuego, el que incendia nuestra Chiquitanía, he detenido mi lectura en los ODS referidos al medio ambiente, esperando encontrar ejemplos de cómo relacionar el quehacer bibliotecario con la lucha por el medio ambiente.

      Esta debería ser una pregunta recurrente: ¿cómo desde nuestra profesión solucionamos los problemas de nuestra sociedad?

    14. Extractivismo e información: los límites del desarrollo

    1. the Beni, a Bolivian province

      We normally think of Bolivia as a nation of the "altiplano" and the Andes. Like the Inca Empire before it, it spreads down the eastern side of the mountains and includes the westernmost edge of the Amazon watershed.

    1. Morales was born into the Aymara indigenous ethnic group in the Andean highlands, a group of people who tend to back roads, industry and economic development, said Tegel. But indigenous populations in the tropical part of the country, generally speaking, don’t want that, he said. “They want to a certain degree to be left alone. That doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t want economic development, but they want a different model and they want it done much more at a community level.” Economics is a huge issue in Bolivia — one of the poorest countries in Latin America — and a major driver in policy decisions, Tegel said. “That tension between his indigenous and environmental discourse and some of the projects he actually wants to do, including increasing mining in the country, is at the very least a paradox and something his critics are calling hypocritical.”
    1. Long a part of indigenous culture in which the leaf had been chewed or brewed in teas, coca cultivation is legal — though controlled — in Bolivia. President Evo Morales, himself once a leader of coca growers, has championed its cause, leading the United Nations to acknowledge his country’s right to allow its traditional use.
    1. he Inca requirements of public service did not much disturb the traditional Quechua way of life. When the Spanish conquered the Inca empire in the 16th century, however, and the Quechua came under Spanish rule, Quechua society was drastically altered. The Spanish encomienda system of tribute required the Quechua to produce unfamiliar crops for the Spanish at the expense of their own food supply. The Spanish system, unlike its Inca predecessor, did not provide for the welfare of the labourer and his family during his term of forced labour.

      Origin of Spanish dominating indigenous culture in Bolivia...

    1. Mr. Morales is also the first indigenous president of Bolivia, where 48 percent of the population declared themselves indigenous in the last census, and his government has proven itself adept at reconciling ancestral knowledge with economic modernization.
    1. EV: Decolonization means a lot to me, it means recuperating… our own path, something which we’ve been forced to lose, this [indigenous] path, this wisdom, this knowledge has been devalued, minimized as though it weren’t knowledge at all. And so now we are recuperated this, and we’re doing so in our own way. This for us is decolonization, a process which is done via the state but also via the social organizations, because this is an issue of how to organize, how to speak of our ancestral technologies. Yes, many things have been modernized, but in many cases we have a necessity to recuperate our own principles and values as indigenous peoples. 
    1. Don't go against the natural world, natural law, go with Mother Earth. She has a certain way of doing things and when you start going against that there are no penalties or fines, there's only consequences when you go against natural law," Morales said.
    1. “Latin America has learnt to its cost what happens when presidents are allowed to perpetuate themselves in power,” says Óscar Ortiz, an opposition senator.

    1. Morales, the longest-serving president in South America, benefits from a fractured opposition that has failed to rally behind a single leader.

      Reminiscent of 19th century Latin America we have discussed in class...

    1. Bolivia has long been associated with poverty. But the tide is turning, and buildings constructed in the style of the 'New Andean architecture' are an increasingly visible sign of that change. The FT's Andres Schipani reports.

    1. President Evo Morales’s backers are seeking to amend Bolivia’s Constitution so he can run for re-election in 2020. A plan finalized Tuesday night comes just eight months after Mr. Morales, Bolivia’s first indigenous president, won a third term. He first took office in 2006. Mr. Morales’s supporters control the two-thirds of Congress needed to pass such legislation. After that, voters would decide in a referendum. Gustavo Aliaga, the farmworkers union leader, said Wednesday that the bill would be sent to Congress next week. Mr. Morales, an Aymara Indian who was born into poverty, is a leftist who has often clashed with the United States. Former President Jorge Quiroga said allowing another term would create a monarchy.

    1. "I would also say, and here I wish to be quite clear, as was St. John Paul II: I humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America," he said to applause from the crowd.

      Pope Francis, seen as "pope of the poor," visited Ecuador, Bolivia, and Paraguay because they are thought of as the poorest countries in the region and are home to 40% of the world's Catholics
