I always thought I'd write about this once fieldwork was over, with enough distance to make sense of the ethical implications of how we do what we do. Instead, I wrote it in the middle of it. @PublicAnthropol 8(1), 63-87. doi.org/10.1163/2589...

Desde Slumil K´ajxemk´op, con Samir en el corazón. Este 20 de febrero queremos recordar la vida de Samir Flores Soberanes. Luchó por la vida frente a la estrategia del capital que quiere someter a los pueblos del mundo con saqueo y destrucción. ¡Samir vive, la lucha sigue! RED EUROPA ZAPATISTA
At a time when capitalist polycrises intensify debates around #informality, #solidarity economies, and post-capitalist futures, the Zapatista experience offers a concrete and long-standing example of organized #autonomy. link.growkudos.com/1pk7avei7eo @springernature.com @presilient.bsky.social
