Edith Kauffer : Sediments, politics and policies in the Usumacinta river basin: sand and gravels from the main river and its Mexican tributaries
On The May 25, 2021
10:00 to 12:00
visio conference
What do we mean by politics and policy issues related to sediments? The seminar deals with a three points-proposal: a theoretical perspective, analytical viewpoints and a political and legal advocacy attempt.
It will focus on the three following points:
- A theoretical reflection about politics and policies that focuses on sediments in order to discuss the main concepts and a general proposal for sediments.
- From this theoretical perspective, some different analytical axes for the past 2018-2020 fieldwork that were developed along the last months.
- Some proposals for the Mexican water policy that enable to politicize the notion of sediments as well as to sustain their importance for water management and to make a difference between industrial sand mining and local stakeholders’ small scale extraction.
