PARRA SALAZAR, Mayra Natalia e URAN CARMONA, Alexandra Patricia. Kinship and precariousness in gold mining in Chocó, Colombia. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2018, vol.80, n.4, pp.801-826. ISSN 2594-0651.
This paper explores why it has been possible to consolidate mechanized gold mining at the expense of artisanal mining in ethnic territories. It conducts a case study of Chocó, Colombia, where careful ethnographic work made it possible to find a gold production and trade network, which links traditional kinship bonds and precarious living conditions with the global dynamics of gold exploitation. Using a specific empirical construction, it presents a comprehensive framework of the dynamics of gold exploitation at national administrative centers, which are culturally, institutionally and infrastructurally disarticulated.
