Abstract: Le Burkina Faso des années 2000 a connu un véritable boom du secteur minier, aussi bien dans l'exploitation industrielle que celle artisanale. L'orpaillage traditionnelle présente une caractéristique clé de l'exploitation de l'or au Burkina Faso. Malgré ses effets environnementaux et sociaux indésirables, l'orpaillage constitue une source de revenue et de développement importante en milieu rural. En 2017, l'Agence Nationale d'Encadrement de l'Exploitation Minière Artisanale et Semi-mécanisée (ANEEMAS) a été suscitée comme nouvelle structure par l'Etat du Burkina Faso et ses partenaires pour promouvoir la formalisation de l'exploitation artisanale. Cependant, elle rencontre aussi des réactions et sentiments ambivalents du côté des acteurs de l'exploitation minière artisanale. C'est dans ce contexte qu'intervient la présente étude par la description du secteur, des acteurs de la chaîne opératoire de l'exploitation artisanale et leur vécu quotidien. Elle présente, en outre, une analyse de la politique d'encadrement de l'exploitation minière artisanale à travers l'ANEEMAS, la perception des acteurs impliqués dans la chaîne opératoire sur le terrain et propose des amélioraitions d'accompagnement des mineur.euse.s.</description>

    <description>Title: All-terrain experts: Land surveyors, remote mapping and land alienation in Mendoza, Argentina
Authors: Martín, Facundo
Abstract: There has been recent growing interest in the role of expert knowledge around land politics. One area that has often been overlooked is how land-related expert knowledge has fostered the transformation of the regime of land control, access and ownership. This paper aims to capture the distinctiveness of contemporary mapping politics in relation to the commodification of land by corporate and state actors. I analyse how remote mapping practices influence the transformation of land regimes. The main research question is how and to what extent land surveyors and their cadastral mapping practices facilitate and legitimate market-led land commodification, and at the same time contribute to de jure and de facto peasant land alienation.</description>

    <description>Title: Women in land struggles: The implications of female activism and emotional resistance for gender equity
Authors: Hennings, Anne
Abstract: Despite deeply engrained images of female domesticity and conventional gender norms, women are increasingly joining land struggles in Cambodia. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, my findings suggest that land rights activism in Cambodia has undergone a gendered re-framing process. Reasoning that women tend to use non-violent means of contestation and are less prone to violent responses from security personnel, nongovernmental organizations push women affected by land grabs and eviction to the frontline of protests. Moreover, female activists are encouraged to publicly display emotions such as sorrow and pain, in sharp contrast with the notion of feminine modesty. I critically question the women-to-the-front strategy and, drawing on Sara Ahmed's politics of emotions, show the adverse risks for female activists. Following that, I argue that the instrumentalization of female bodies and emotions in land rights protests perpetuates gender disparities instead of strengthening female agency in Cambodian society or opening up political space for women.</description>

    <description>Title: Subsoil mediations: Strategies of contention at the grassroots and the extraction of subsoil resources
Authors: Dueholm Rasch, Elisabet
Abstract: In this working paper, I argue that the ways in which communities engage in strategies of contention are mediated by what I call 'subsoil imaginaries': how peoples and communities imagine and give meaning to the subsoil and its extraction. In so doing, I approach the subsoil as a site on and through which strategies of contention gain form and content, and at the same time as a resource that is produced through such (political) discursive and practical activities. It is on this site that this paper explores strategies of contention as a negotiation of rights between political subjects and the state that is mediated by subsoil imaginaries. Strategies of contention are mediated by subsoil imaginations in two dimensions. First, conflicts and contestations over resource use are often rooted in different ideas and imaginaries of resource use and the subsoil. Natural resources can be valued as indigenous territory, as a part of livelihood, in terms of biodiversity, and as combinations thereof. Such meanings clash with the monetary valuations on which most extractive projects are based. Second, extractive projects cause conflicts over distribution, as well as over recognition and participation; it is not only about the environmental consequences of subsoil extraction but also (if not foremost) about power, democracy and citizenship. These claims of social justice, as I will show, are also shaped by imaginaries of the subsoil. The paper builds on research on resistance, citizenship and subsoil extraction since 2010 in Latin America, the Philippines and the Netherlands.</description>
