The following interviews aim to present this year’s theme, “Crisis and Futures of Capitalism: Power, Technology, and Environment.” For this purpose, we spoke with researchers Maritza Paredes and Anke Kaulard. Throughout the interview, key concepts were discussed to understand the environmental issues in current capitalism, such as the notions of “territory,” “territorial conflict,” and “climate justice.” In this approach, the need to understand the territory holistically is emphasized as a social and symbolic production, that is both contested and negotiated by various actors and in which meaning, interdependence with nature, historical processes, social practices, and power relations are inscribed. Additionally, the limitations of how the state is structured to address these conflicts are discussed. Similarly, attention is drawn to the various responses communities und...

Based on the theme of the dossier “Body, Art, and Memory,” Miguel Ángel Farfán was interviewed to reflect on the construction of memories through performance.During this conversation, Miguel Ángel shares his reflections on the staging of Túpac Amaru II and its importance in the Cusco region, as a way of reflecting on the imaginaries surrounding Túpac Amaru II, Micaela Bastidas, and other figures who gained importance alongside them. Likewise, we sought to understand how the past not only influences the present in which we find ourselves, but also impacts the future we are building. It explores the ways in which collective and individual memories come to life through embodiment, and how discourses about the past are reproduced, maintained, and reconstructed. This conversation arises from the final research project that Miguel Ángel Farfán carried out to obtain his Master’s de...
