Alter-geopolitics: Other securities are happening

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...

description 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 hegemonic geopolitics (material or discursive), rather than this sort of effort to build something new. Feminist geopolitics is a form of anti-geopolitics that not only takes apart but also puts the pieces together in new ways – with broader definitions of security for more bodies in more places. Yet it has not generally looked at that practice as engaged in outside of academia. I propose the term alter-geopolitics for a type of feminist geopolitics as a way to extend both the concepts of anti- and feminist geopolitics. I argue for the term as a reminder to look to grassroots practice, to the ways that groups are doing geopolitics in the streets, in homes, in jungles, and in many other spaces ‘off the page’. Though they may not think of their work as geopolitics, framing it in this way can open fruitful conversations. As academics we have much to learn and offer through collaboratively thinking with such groups about security. I have been doing this with international accompaniers in Colombia and discuss their work, and the peace community of San José that they accompany, as forms of altergeopolitics.

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 antigeopolítica se refiere a la resistencia a la geopolítica hegemónica (material o discursiva), más que en este tipo de esfuerzo por construir algo nuevo. La geopolítica feminista es una forma de antigeopolítica que no solo desmonta, sino que también junta las piezas de nuevas maneras, con definiciones más amplias de seguridad para más cuerpos en más lugares. Sin embargo, por lo general no se ha examinado esta práctica fuera del ámbito académico. Propongo el término altergeopolítica para un tipo de geopolítica feminista, para así ampliar los conceptos de antigeopolítica y geopolítica feminista. Defiendo el término como un recordatorio de fijarnos en las prácticas de base, en las formas en que los grupos hacen geopolítica en las calles, en los hogares, en las selvas y en muchos otros espacios “fuera de la página”. Aunque no consideren su trabajo como geopolítica, enmarcarlo de este modo puede abrir conversaciones fructíferas. Como académicos, tenemos mucho que aprender y ofrecer a través del pensamiento colaborativo con estos grupos sobre temas de seguridad. He estado haciendo esto con acompañantes internacionales en Colombia y acá presento su trabajo, y el de la comunidad de paz de San José a la que acompañan, como formas de altergeopolítica. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/13710 10.34096/ps.n9.13710 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/13710/12082 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/13710/12173 Punto Sur; No. 9 (2023): El lenguaje polìtico de las cosas; 66-93 Punto Sur; Núm. 9 (2023): El lenguaje polìtico de las cosas; 66-93 2683-7404 Geopolitics.
