Using critical place research and documentary methods, this article examines the Mapuche territorial cause in Chile and exposes the deficiencies of state-produced Mapuche land titles, known as Títulos de Merced, which are required for and (mis)used as evidence by Chile's Indigenous land restitution program. The Títulos de Merced were granted to Mapuche families during and after the military occupation of Wallmapu (Mapuche territory), as documentation of their relocation to reducciones (reservations) between 1884 and 1929. However, these approximately 3000 titles do not fully represent Mapuche land claims. Instead, they were used by the newly formed Chilean state to reduce Mapuche territory to approximately 5% of its ancestral span, leaving undocumented much of the territories that communities were effectively using before the reduction process––what Mapuche claimants refer to as tierras antiguas or ancestral lands. Despite this, CONADI, the government agency that administers the land program, defines these titles as the primary sources of documentary evidence to prove Mapuche land dispossession. Therefore, not only are the Títulos de Merced not enough, but they negatively impact Mapuche land claims by purposefully reducing, once again, Mapuche ancestral territory, this time discursively. Mapuche claimants are paradoxically forced to validate claims to their ancestral land through documents that were designed to legitimize their dispossession. By examining the insufficiency and inappropriateness of the Títulos de Merced as evidence for Mapuche territorial claims, this paper proposes the intercultural practice of documenting territorialidad—the expression of cultural, economic, and spiritual Mapuche practices over the territory—in addition to colonial demarcations of land, as a form of producing/using evidence for Mapuche land restitution claims. Suggesting the mapu (land/territory) as provenance and territorialidad as evidence, this alternative documentary practice unsettles the Títulos de Merced as the only legitimate form of evidence for Mapuche land claims and theorizes interculturalidad—the recognition of and dialogue between diverse ways of knowing coexisting within the same territory—as a framework for thinking about provenance when working with Indigenous land records.

The size and shape of an animal's breeding territory are dynamic features influenced by multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors and can have important implications for survival and reproduction. Quantitative studies of variation in these territory features can generate deeper insights into animal ecology and behavior. We explored the effect of age, breeding strategy, population density, and number of neighbors on the size and shape of breeding territories in an island population of Passerculus sandwichensis (Savannah Sparrow). Our dataset consisted of 407 breeding territories belonging to 225 males sampled over 11 years. We compared territory sizes to the age of the male territorial holder, the male's reproductive strategy (monogamy vs. polygyny), the number of birds in the study population (population density), and the number of immediate territorial neighbors (local density). We found substantial variation in territory size, with territories ranging over two orders of magnitude from 57 to 5,727 m2 (0.0057–0.57 ha). Older males had larger territories, polygynous males had larger territories, territories were smaller in years with higher population density, and larger territories were associated with more immediate territorial neighbors. We also found substantial variation in territory shape, from near-circular to irregularly shaped territories. Males with more neighbors had irregularly shaped territories, but shape did not vary with male age, breeding strategy, or population density. For males that lived 2 years or longer, we found strong consistent individual differences in territory size across years, but weaker individual differences in territory shape, suggesting that size has high repeatability whereas shape has low repeatability. Our work provides evidence that songbird territories are highly dynamic, and that their size and shape reflect both intrinsic factors (age and number of breeding partners) and extrinsic factors (population density and number of territorial neighbors).

This article attempts to further develop the positionality of place through aggregated effects of vision construction by different positioned actants. We attempt to integrate two concepts: the feminist positionality that stresses the subjects' situatedness in networks and their relational power of vision constructions in host places and the networking behavior of brokers with their exclusive connections to small world clusters, as argued by international relations network analysis. Our attempts at the bodily level of situated and subjective vision construction aim to address two challenges: first, how to address the entanglement of geopolitics and biopolitics, and second, how do encounters account for the power of a place premised on its areal resources through the behavior of brokers. The institutionalization of special economic zone development in Cambodia, from the introduction of new norms to law-making and planning, is chosen as a case for its dynamic process.

In 1867, the government of the province of Buenos Aires donated three land leagues to the tribes of the Chiefs Francisco, Martín and Manuel Rondeau in Veinticinco de Mayo district, which at the time was located on the frontier with the indigenous territories of the Pampa plain. The following article analyses the processes, actors and factors involved in the fragmentation of property and non-indigenous land alienation that occurred in these territories towards mid-twentieth century. The analysis identifies three types of relationships that were of crucial importance: the leasing of land, the credit for the purchase of goods, and the purchase and sale of property rights.

En las últimas décadas, artistas de diferentes procedencias y utilizando distintos medios han invocado con sus obras el concepto de territorio, y de las territorialidades que son moldeadas por este, como estrategia de reconocimiento de otras identidades –sobre todo las originarias e indígenas–. El artículo propone una reflexión sobre el concepto de territorio como yuxtaposición de entorno natural, comunidad y cosmovisión que resulta indispensable para la comprensión global de las construcciones culturales e identitarias de las comunidades originarias. Posteriormente, analiza una selección de propuestas artísticas contemporáneas que utilizan estas conceptualizaciones como estrategias discursivas, estructuradas en dos grandes bloques: formas de habitar y territorialidades sagradas y rituales.

This text is an attempt to occupy quilombola backyards and kitchens to play with and depart from the book "a terra dá, a terra quer", authored by Antônio Bispo dos Santos. If it is a "review", it is because it makes use of this textual form to review with the mentioned farmer, as one who expresses in jest the possibility of producing quilombo fields and, thereby, casting impertinences towards the school, the curriculum and the ways of thinking about education.

The work seeks to contribute to the production of knowledge about acting in the context of contemporary independent theater in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán-Argentina. We try to recognize the ways in which the territorialities of the actors' and actresses' bodies participate in the specific configuration of an artistic work. For this purpose, we analyze the theatrical production Manifiesto por amor a los hombres, an autofictional show premiered on November 23, 2012, which addresses the issue of male homosexuality. A work developed through scenic improvisations, where the fictional construction of the play compromises the personal biography of the protagonist. This creative modality that favors the crossing between art and life in the figure of the performer enables disruptive corporal and acting experiences against theatrical forms sustained in the mimetic-scenic illusion, at the same time that promotes practices of micropolitical resistance in a social context that is not very favorable to sexual diversity.

The city can be understood as a space where capitalist and patriarchal logics are materialized, engendering symbolic barriers and socio-spatial segregation. Within this context, this paper addresses territoriality of the LGBTIQ+ population at the urban scale It is part of a broader reflection within an ongoing Master's dissertation. The research aims to identify these Territories through clipping of journalistic news and to gather them in a cartography. Finally, this paper was produced as an effort to continue researches that give voice to a population that is often disrespected, forgotten, brutalized, killed, and erased by our society.

Este artículo propone un método para rastrear, inventariar y sistematizar una «tópica» de referencias sobre las/los espectadores en textos ficcionales y no-ficcionales, en prosa o verso. Llamamos tópica de espectadores al repertorio tematológico de «lugares» o núcleos temáticos sobre la cuestión estudiada. El objetivo es construir una herramienta para la escritura de una historia comparada de las/ los espectadores teatrales. Los fundamentos teóricos y epistemológicos se encuentran en la filosofía del teatro, la fenomenología y los estudios comparados de expectación teatral.

El análisis de los aspectos geográficos contenidos en las «Visitas» –uno de los mecanismos de control administrativo más utilizados por la corona española en los territorios americanos, y en donde aparecen el nombre de pueblos y demarcaciones políticas– proporciona una nueva perspectiva de la organización territorial indígena. Por ello, en este trabajo se van a emplear los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) para intentar acercarnos a las lógicas territoriales de esa época a través de la cartografía, ya que las poblaciones y las toponimias que aún perduran son una huella importante de la organización del espacio en aquellos tiempos. Además, se realizará un análisis textual de los documentos originales de esas visitas, buscando distinguir los elementos basados en fuentes indígenas, como es el caso de la forma de ordenar y agrupar los pueblos, relacionándolos con la territorialidad indígena y con el instrumento en que se registraba ese tipo de información, los denominados «Quipus».

This article demonstrates the importance, roles, and responsibilities of the United States Space Force. It focuses on the need for its creation and its role as the fundamental lynchpin to American national security and prosperity now and in the future. The road ahead can only be successful while working with America's allies and ensuring that there are norms and rules of civilized behavior in, from, and to space. The authors propose 11 enduring principles for the Space Force that interconnect and enhance American grand strategy while dealing with potential adversaries and the need to bond this mission to the American public.

María Luz Cárdenas in her paper explores the deep connection between contemporary art and the earth, taking as a starting point the baroque image of the Virgin of the Hill. Through a detailed analysis of the works of Miguel Von Dangel, Víctor Hugo Irazábal and Lucía Pizzani, Cárdenas reveals how these artists establish ancestral links with nature, exploring themes such as territoriality, identity and spirituality. The paper highlights how these artists use diverse materials and techniques to represent the land as a space of creation and transformation. From Von Dangel's intervened cartographies to Irazábal's immersive installations and Pizzani's bodily performances, they all seek to redefine our relationship with the natural and cultural environment.

The approach presented in this text revolves around the landscape as an expression of human actions in the territories. From the geographical perspective, it is proposed to decipher the meaning that the landscape has for the subject as an expression of socio-spatial interactions. At the same time, this work aims to understand the subject as the maker of the landscape in his daily experiences and coexistences. Here, affects, roots and territorialities are addressed as cultural processes of identification in the inhabited landscape. These processes have unique manifestations in the spaces of national borders. These processes have particular manifestations in border spaces that are exemplified in this text in succinct considerations on circular mobilities in western Venezuela and the Colombian border neighborhoods.

El trabajo busca contribuir a la producción de conocimiento sobre la actuación en el marco del teatro independiente contemporáneo de la ciudad de San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. Se intenta reconocer los modos en que las territorialidades de los cuerpos de actores y actrices participan en la configuración específica de una obra artística. Para ello, se analiza la puesta teatral Manifiesto por amor a los hombres, un espectáculo autoficcional estrenado el 23 de noviembre de 2012 que aborda el tema de la homosexualidad masculina. La obra se trata de un trabajo desarrollado a través de improvisaciones escénicas, donde la construcción ficcional de la obra compromete la biografía del protagonista. Esta modalidad creativa que propicia el cruce entre arte y vida en la figura del performer habilita experiencias corporales y actorales disruptivas frente a formas teatrales sostenidas en la ilusión mimético-escénica, a la vez que promueve prácticas de resistencia micropolíticas en un contexto social poco favorable para la diversidad sexual.

Resumen La lucha por la defensa de sus derechos y territorialidad ha sido central en el movimiento campesino colombiano. Dentro de estas luchas se destaca la experiencia histórica del Comité de Integración del Macizo Colombiano (CIMA) en el sur de Colombia. El presente artículo se fundamenta en una investigación cualitativa, descriptiva y empírica. Tiene como objetivo describir, discutir y analizar críticamente la propuesta de territorialidad campesina y Soberanía Alimentaria en el Norte de Nariño y Sur de Cauca - Colombia, a partir de la iniciativa de Territorio Campesino Agroalimentario (TECAM), que representa una alternativa de construcción social del territorio y de resignificación política, económica, cultural y ecológica del movimiento campesino en el Macizo Colombiano, en un contexto de conflictividad socio territorial agudizado por la imposición del modelo neoliberal extractivista con consecuencias sobre el territorio y el modo de vida campesino.

Esperemos la noche: cópula nocturna en una damisela tropical Phylolestes ethelae (Odonata, Synlestidae) La selección sexual es una de las causas principales de la diversidad de conductas reproductivas observadas dentro de una misma especie y entre especies. En este trabajo estudiamos el comportamiento reproductivo de una especie singular, Phylolestes ethelae, el único miembro de la familia Synlestidae (Odonata) que se encuentra en América. Nuestra hipótesis fue que la singularidad filogenética de esta especie y el hecho de que vive en una isla producirían comportamientos nuevos, que vale la pena proteger, ya que forman parte de la biodiversidad. Estudiamos una población de P. ethelae que habita en el Parque Nacional Armando Bermúdez, en la República Dominicana, mediante técnicas de marcaje y recaptura y observaciones focales, entre 2017 y 2019. La tasa de supervivencia se estimó en 0,953 ± 0,012 (DE), lo que se traduce en una esperanza de vida de 20,6 días. Encontramos que algunos machos mostraban una alta fidelidad al sitio, pero muy poca actividad y que las disputas territoriales eran casi inexistentes. Las hembras, por otro lado, rara vez se observaban en el río, sino que se encontraban principalmente en los senderos y bosques cercanos. Registramos 28 tándems y observamos un total de 17 cópulas, que duraron 18,6 min de promedio. El examen del volumen de esperma en las hembras a las que se interrumpió durante la cópula indica que los machos extraen la mayor parte del esperma de la bursa copulatrix de la hembra durante la etapa I de la cópula, pero no pueden extraerlo de las espermatecas. La duración del tándem precopulatorio fue muy variable (de 3 min a 7,8 h). En algunos casos, la cópula se observó poco tiempo después (3 min) de la formación del tándem, principalmente durante la mañana. Sin embargo, algunas parejas se formaron durante la mañana, permanecieron en tándem durante varias horas y se aparearon muy tarde, después del anochecer. Las hembras depositaron los huevos en ausencia del macho. El apareamiento después del máximo de actividad podría ser una estrategia que protege la inversión en esperma, ya que es poco probable que las hembras que ponen huevos después del anochecer vuelvan a aparearse ese día. Se necesitan más estudios para descifrar las características fenotípicas de los machos que se aparean después del anochecer.
