This research aims to examine the relationship between spatial production practices and extractive- protectionist planning policies in Andean rural territories. The hypothesis is that rurality is primarily a political condition based on systems of radical dependencies, interactions, and conflicts between subjects, ecologies, and economies. Reasoning about such dynamics in planning requires focusing on the question of “coexistence” between different rural “socio-spatial ecologies” rather than working on the valorization of local “palimpsests,” the promotion of “sustainable local development” strategies, and the pursuit of agricultural productivism strategies.

Abstract
This research aims to examine the relationship between spatial production practices and extractive- protectionist planning policies in Andean rural territories. The hypothesis is that rurality is primarily a political condition based on systems of radical dependencies, interactions, and conflicts between subjects, ecologies, and economies. Reasoning about such dynamics in planning requires focusing on the question of “coexistence” between different rural “socio-spatial ecologies” rather than working on the valorization of local “palimpsests,” the promotion of “sustainable local development” strategies, and the pursuit of agricultural productivism strategies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |

Descrizione: The research is conducted through the socio- spatial study of Pueblo de Monguí, in the Colombian Andes. In this case, the conflict between permanently extractive landscapes, that means planning policies and emerging economies (mineral, agronomic, cultural, and environmental). And on the other hand, subsistence landscapes (family agriculture, sartorial craftsmanship, and care work). The proposed project stance is to stop assuming rurality as a ‘reserve of resources and care’ (Nobre, 2017) available to urban demand and global economic centers. Therefore, an ecological stance is adopted in the first place. Ecology, it is useful to clarify, is understood not as the relationship between organisms and their environment but, as Morton (2016) argues, as a fabric in which multiple entities, subjects, and desires are placed in relation, forming interdependencies. These hypotheses are articulated within four ecologies: wild, protected space, extractive, and subsistence ecologies. Finally, a project of coexistence among the various rural ecologies is proposed according to generative, reversible, and dispersal practices a logic that reflects rural practices, an ecology of temporality.
