CHOROPAMPA The Price of Gold

(a film by Ernesto Cabellos & Stephanie Boyd)




Choropampa – The Price of Gold



On June 2, 2000, a truck from the Yanacocha gold mine spilled 151 kg of liquid elemental mercury along a 40 km stretch of highway passing through Choropampa and two neighboring towns. Villagers were not told the mercury was toxic. Assuming it was azogue, an ancient cure-all, they collected mercury in bottles and jars using their hands, sticks and brooms. Children were especially fascinated with the alluring silvery balls; they played with it, spilling mercury on dirt floors and beds, near gardens and animals and inside the local school. At least 900 people are poisoned; they do not receive adequate medical care and their health is deteriorating. But hope is not lost. The town elects a new mayor, Lot Saavedra, a dashing 22-year-old who promises to win health care and fair compensation for the spill victims. This simple farmer's son takes on corrupt politicians, slick company officials and shady medical experts. Months of tense and frustrated talks culminate in a dramatic highway blockade of mine vehicles. Using techniques of cinema verité and shocking archive material shot over a 2-year period, this epic film exposes the global mining trade's nasty underbelly. Choropampa's story is a poignant reminder of the real cost of gold.

Film Schedule:

Thursday, January 13, 2011

             Film: La ley de Herodes / Herod’s Law (Directed by Luis Estrada)

Juan Vargas is an unassuming government subordinate in the PRI party with political aspirations far out of step with his influence and abilities. But his dream becomes a reality when he is inexplicably appointed mayor of a sleepy little pueblo. He starts out with lofty ideas for a new Mexican modernity, but with a corrupt clergy, a non-Spanish-speaking constituency, a zero-peso operating budget, and a marked lack of imagination, Vargas’s idealistic intentions only last so long. Instead, the well-intentioned functionary becomes a psychopathic despot.

Upcoming CLAS Lecture Series

 

“USAID Party Development Program” a lecture by Scott Morganstern

(Associate Professor, Political Sciences, University of Pittsburgh)

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) offers non-partisan aid to political parties throughout the developing world. Is such non-partisan aid viable? Where should the aid be targeted? How can we evaluate the effectiveness of the aid? This talk addresses these questions based on experience evaluating non-partisan aid programs in Peru and Indonesia.

Dr. Morgenstern’s areas of expertise include comparative politics, political institutions, political parties, legislatures, and Latin American politics. He is the author of Patterns of Legislative Politics: Roll Call Voting in the Latin America and the United States (Cambridge University Press, 2004). He has also co-edited the following books: Pathways to Power: Political Recruitment and Candidate Selection in Latin America (with Peter M. Siavelis; Pennsylvania State University Press, 2008), and Legislative Politics in Latin America (with Benito Nacif; Cambridge University Press, 2002).

Conferences

 

2011 Mid-Atlantic Council on Latin American Studies (MACLAS) Annual Conference: Globalization and Well Being in Latin America

Brazil is booming—soon to host the World Cup of Football in 2014 and the Olympics two years later, the country boasts some 30 million people added to the ranks of the middle class over the past decade. That statistic is often linked to what middle classes have long tied to notions of well-being in wealthy nations—the ability to buy consumer goods, to own a home, and to hold down a well-paying job with benefits. A globalized Brazil, whose economy is expected by many to grow by as much as 7% in 2010 (while equivalent North American and European numbers remain in the doldrums), has been touted as the leading edge of a modernizing, consuming, even wealthy new Latin America—“nobody's backyard” anymore according to a September 2010 cover piece in The Economist magazine.

At the same time, there is ongoing evidence of globalization's ills and the persistent crises in health, poverty, and governance. Journalists under threat warn of the danger of a failed state in Mexico as a violent drug economy grows exponentially. El Alto, Bolivia is one of many sprawling new cities in the Americas that reflects both new and old problems associated with rapid urbanization. And extreme crisis in Haiti often seems without end. Has globalization brought well-being to the region?

Dates: March 18-19, 2011

Location: University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA

American Ethnological Society (AES) and the Society for Urban, National and Transnational/Global Anthropology (SUNTA) Spring Conference

After more than three decades of neoliberal policies that largely redistributed wealth from poor to rich, and from south to north, the current Great Global Recession is both reinforcing existing social, cultural, and political inequalities, such as those of race, class and gender, and creating new forms of marginality and domains of power. These fault lines have been thrown into sharp relief by a string of environmental disasters (so-called natural disasters, and more purely technological disasters), each with catastrophic human, ecological, and social consequences, just as they have been intensified by warfare and state responses to and discourses about “security.” Increasingly, close relationships between governments and corporations lead to privatized, militarized and corporatized responses, which often produce a “second disaster.” These processes create new forms of difference—fragmentation, inequality, marginality, identity, cultural particularism. At the same time, they create the conditions for new forms of connection--solidarity, alliance, and political engagement--that may bridge lines of demarcation and imagine alternative political, economic, and cultural futures.

Dates: April 17-21, 2011

Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
