An exploration of the concept of cultivation, as conducted on both the land and the body, which expands our understanding of it as practice, aesthetic, and ideology. In Cultivated: Plants, Hair, and the Aesthetic of Control (Yale University Press, 2026), Jeffrey Hoelle traces the imprint of cultivation across the naturally growing covers of the land and body—plants and hair. The book builds from research in the agricultural fields and cattle pastures at the edge of the Amazon rainforest to domestic landscapes and hair salons and shops in the frontier cities of Brazil and beyond. In spaces where the tangled forest once stood, clean pastures and ordered rows of crops now sit on properties with geometric edges. From rural spaces to immaculate lawns and cemeteries in the city, the imprint leads to the body, where hair, like plant growth, is cut, trimmed, and otherwise managed. Seemingly separate domains of agriculture, landscaping, and personal grooming are governed by a similar aesthetic of control. This unique pairing of land and body expands our understanding of cultivation as a practice and as an ideology that operates in frontier Amazonia—but also closer to home, influencing how we conceptualize and interpret the covers that grow on and around us, and our imagined relations with nature in the future. Hoelle argues that we must understand this system of thought and the overlooked role it plays in environmental destruction and social inequality. Jeffrey Hoelle is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research explores the social, cultural, and political-economic dimensions of environmental transformation and deforestation in frontier Amazonia. He is the author of Rainforest Cowboys: The Rise of Ranching and Cattle Culture in Western Amazonia (UT Press, 2015) Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training. He is a PhD candidate of Socio-cultural Anthropology at Tulane University. More details about his scholarship and research interests can be found here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Manaos, finales del siglo XIX. En el corazón de la selva amazónica, a miles de kilómetros de los grandes centros culturales europeos, se levantó un edificio imposible: un teatro de ópera inspirado en los grandes coliseos del Viejo Continente, construido con mármol italiano, cristal de Murano y materiales llegados en barco desde el otro lado del Atlántico. ¿Cómo acabó un palacio de la música rodeado de jaguares, anacondas y bosques tropicales? La respuesta se encuentra en la fiebre del caucho, una riqueza tan extraordinaria como efímera que transformó la Amazonia, impulsó fortunas descomunales y dejó tras de sí una historia de ambición, contrabando, explotación y mito. En este episodio viajamos al legendario Teatro Amazonas para descubrir qué música sonó realmente entre sus muros, quién pagó aquella extravagancia y por qué una de las historias más repetidas sobre la ópera en la selva es, en realidad, mucho más ficción que realidad. Por cuestiones organizativas, a partir de ahora los episodios completos de Musistoria estarán disponibles en el espacio del podcast El Jazzensor: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-jazzensor_sq_f1389165_1.html #Musistoria #LaMusicadelaHistoria #LMDLH #LaMdelaH
El asesinato de Bugsy Siegel Es uno de los crímenes de la mafia más infames y nunca resueltos: el célebre gánster Bugsy Siegel murió acribillado en el salón de su casa en Beverly Hills. Aunque su muerte acaparó los titulares, jamás se efectuó ningún arresto. Siegel tenía muchos enemigos, pero ¿quién lo mató y por qué? Percy Fawcett y la Ciudad Perdida de Z Percy Fawcett, uno de los exploradores más famosos del mundo, se obsesionó con una ciudad perdida en lo profundo de la Amazonia, un lugar al que llamó la Ciudad perdida de Z. Desapareció mientras intentaba encontrarla y, pese a incontables expediciones, nadie ha logrado descubrir su destino. ¿Qué ocurrió con Percy Fawcett… y dónde se encuentra la ciudad perdida?

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Liam Spencer, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Nacional da AmazoniaDate of recording: July 16, 2025Starting time: 00:05 UTCFrequency: 11.780 MHzReception location: Berthoud, Colorado, USAReceiver and antenna: Sihuadon D-808 with telescopic antennaMode: AMNotes: Here's a recording pulled from my radio archive of Radio Nacional da Amazonia from Brazil on the shortwave frequency on 11.780 MHz from July 16th, 2025. What's interesting is that this was recorded on a weekday, and usually, back-to-back music is not heard on weekday evening programming. Along with the announcers who are usually high energy are not in this recording. Around 20 minutes in, I stopped recording and resumed recording at 01:05 UTC until the end of the recording.

While Dara Wilson was working at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in D.C., she introduced visitors to the Amazonia exhibit. She would describe the song of a bird she'd never had the chance to see in the wild, the Blue-gray Tanager. But when Dara moved to Panama, she heard the song that she knew by heart already. Encountering the Blue-gray Tanager in its natural habitat inspired her to keep learning about birds — and to share that knowledge with others as an educator. Dara helps organize Black Birders Week. Find out how you can participate in this year's event here. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

El latín está en la esencia cultural de occidente. Durante siglos, fue la lingua franca que permitió a científicos de distintas naciones comunicarse sin barreras. Copérnico, Galileo, Newton y Descartes compartieron un mismo código que hizo posible la Revolución científica. Europa se construyó sobre el derecho romano y sin el latín, la identidad europea carecería de su estructura lógica y de la cohesión histórica que permitió el Renacimiento y la Ilustración. Hemos entrevistado a Pablo Toribio y Cristina Tur, autores del libro “El latín en Europa” (CSIC-Catarata). El róver Perseverance de la NASA sigue desvelando los secretos de la geología marciana en el cráter Jezzero, con un estudio similar al que se haría en la Tierra. Jesús Martínez Frías, coautor de la investigación, nos ha explicado como los resultados muestran un escenario fluvio-lacustre, que revela la importancia del agua en el planeta Rojo. Con Fernando Blasco hemos hablado de cómo un programa de IA ha solucionado un problema que traía de cabeza a Donald Knuth, una de las personas más influyentes en la historia de la informática. Eva Rodríguez nos ha contado un estudio internacional que advierte de que casi un tercio de la población adulta mundial no alcanza los niveles mínimos recomendados de ejercicio, y el hallazgo de una red comercial milenaria que transportaba loros vivos de la Amazonia a la costa andina. Hemos reseñado los libros “Quantum. Einstein, Bohr y el gran debate sobre la naturaleza de la realidad”, de Manjit Kumar (Taurus); “Mapmática, mapas y matemáticas para entender el mundo”, de Paulina Rowinska (geoPlaneta), y “El espejo de la imaginación. ¿Qué es la consciencia?”, de Ignacio Morgado (Ariel). Hemos informado de la celebración, los días 18 y 19 de marzo, de UPM INVESTIGA, la primera feria global de investigación de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid; y de las actividades de ACIERTAS en la Feria Madrid es Ciencia, del 19 al 21 de marzo.Escuchar audio

In The Tame and the Wild: People and Animals after 1492 (Harvard University Press, 2024), Dr. Marcy Norton offers a dramatic new interpretation of the encounter between Europe and the Americas that reveals the crucial role of animals in the shaping of the modern world. When the men and women of the island of Guanahani first made contact with Christopher Columbus and his crew on October 12, 1492, the cultural differences between the two groups were vaster than the oceans that had separated them. There is perhaps no better demonstration than the divide in their respective ways of relating to animals. In this book, Dr. Norton tells a new history of the colonisation of the Americas, one that places wildlife and livestock at the centre of the story. She reveals that the encounters between European and Native American beliefs about animal life transformed societies on both sides of the Atlantic. Europeans' strategies and motives for conquest were inseparable from the horses that carried them in military campaigns and the dogs they deployed to terrorise Native peoples. Even more crucial were the sheep, cattle, pigs, and chickens whose flesh became food and whose skins became valuable commodities. Yet as central as the domestication of animals was to European plans in the Americas, Native peoples' own practices around animals proved just as crucial in shaping the world after 1492. Cultures throughout the Caribbean, Amazonia, and Mexico were deeply invested in familiarisation: the practice of capturing wild animals—not only parrots and monkeys but even tapir, deer, and manatee—and turning some of them into “companion species.” These taming practices not only influenced the way Indigenous people responded to human and nonhuman intruders but also transformed European culture itself, paving the way for both zoological science and the modern pet. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The Amazon is often described as an ecosystem under dire threat due to climate change and deliberate deforestation. Yet there is still considerable hope that these threats can be mitigated. In the face of these threats, indigenous conservationists are attempting to strike a balance between tradition and preserving Amazonia. Meanwhile, two river journeys more than 100 years apart – one by a contemporary National Geographic reporter and another by “The Lewis and Clark of Brazil”— draw attention to the beauty and diversity of one of the world's most important ecosystems. Guests: Cynthia Gorney – Contributing writer at the National Geographic Society, former bureau chief for South America at The Washington Post Larry Rohter – Reporter and correspondent in Rio de Janeiro for fourteen years for Newsweek and as The New York Times bureau chief. Author of Into the Amazon: The Life of Cândido Rondon, Trailblazing Explorer, Scientist, Statesman, and Conservationist João Campos-Silva – Brazilian researcher and conservationist, and cofounder of Instituto Jura, a conservation organization. His work, along with that of other conservationists, is featured in the National Geographic issue devoted to the Amazon.

Como falar de meio ambiente sem falar de moradia, saneamento e desigualdade? Neste episódio do Belém 30º, o ativista Vavá Mesquita, do movimento Tucunduba Pró-Lago Verde, conta como a luta por dignidade e justiça ambiental na periferia de Belém se tornou uma das vozes mais importantes da Amazônia urbana. Entre alagamentos, remoções e obras, Vavá revela os desafios de quem vive na “terra firme” e mostra que discutir clima também é discutir direito à cidade.Este projeto é realizado pela Politize!, com o apoio do Pulitzer Center.ATENÇÃO: As opiniões expressas neste episódio são de responsabilidade exclusiva dos convidados e não refletem, necessariamente, a posição institucional da Politize!.

La COP30 ha vuelto a ser, en general, decepcionante en lo que a acuerdos útiles se refiere. Tampoco se ha dado a los pueblos y comunidades que habitan en la Amazonia, el pulmón del planeta, la relevancia que merecen. Hablamos con Lizbeth Abarca, defensora ambiental de Cotabambas en Perú, sobre la gira organizada por Entrepueblos llamada 'Cuerpos, territorios y derechos en disputa'.Escuchar audio

Mad Men told the Nature Conservancy et al to brand themselves a "Movement" - back in the 70's when those soon-to-be-billionaire orgs got their meal ticket from the Clean Air Clean Water acts and the EPA. Here's the catch. Real social movements have music. Sun Ra and Neil Young, Erykah Badhu and Bjork and Brian Eno and Yoko Ono - made their own way to the Earth and back to our ear. Now the complete and utter emergency we are experiencing has got us turning to the Earth itself for the music. And we're hearing symphonies from the plants and animals, rocks and clouds. Radical tunes are rising like Amazonia natives invading COP 30. The whole Earth is singing. Like real social movements, the breath of our Earth activism will be music.
Comienzo con algunos conceptos básicos de la Compasión, los momentos edificantes y la Zona de Resiliencia, ideas que se concretaron como experiencias vividas al compartir una semana con mi hermana. La Amazonía me llamó de regreso a esta misión de contar sus historias en la forma de un regalo sin precio calculable: Amazonia, un libro extraordinario de Sebastiáo Salgado. Sus palabras poderosas e imágenes sublimes constituyen el prefacio perfecto para los reportajes que están saliendo de la COP30; opiniones contrarias, acción insuficiente, talvez demasiadas promesas y palabras sin peso. El hecho es que las comunidades indígenas han sido excluídas de los eventos principales y la Amazonía continúa ardiendo y siendo destruída. ¿ Seremos capaces de tener suficiente corazón para salvar el corazón mismo de la tierra? ¿Podemos, en colectividad, sostener a la majestuosa Amazonía con preocupación? ¿Te animas a unirte a mi intención de sostener a la Selva Amazónica dentro de nuestro propio corazón individual, con cariño, asombro y devoción?
Miles de defensores del territorio amazónico, tanto de comunidades indígenas como activistas aliados de su causa, han viajado a la ciudad tropical brasileña de Belém —puerta de entrada a la Amazonia— para transmitir el mensaje de que la selva se encuentra en un una situación crítica, pero que todavía es posible salvarla.

I start by sharing some concepts of the basics of Compassion; edifying moments and our resilience zone, which became lived experiences as I welcomed my sister for a visit last week. Amazonia called me back to this mission of telling her stories in the form of a priceless gift; Amazonia, an extraordinary book by Sebastiáo Salgado. His powerful words and sublime images serve as the perfect preface to the news reports emerging from COP30, contradictory opinions, insufficient action, perhaps too many promises and empty words. The fact is, the indigenous peoples have been left out of the main event and Amazonia continues burning and being decimated. Will we care enough to save the heart of the Earth? Can we, collectively, hold the Majestic Amazon with concern? Can you join me today and hold the Amazon Rainforest within your own heart; with care, wonder and devotion?

Support Ordinary Unhappiness on Patreon to get access to all the exclusive episodes. patreon.com/OrdinaryUnhappinessAbby and Patrick are joined by one of their favorite writers, Sarah Miller, to talk about her new essay in n+1. Entitled “Pirates of the Ayahuasca,” it's a first-person narrative, at once understated and devastating, hilarious and cutting, that sees Sarah, struggling with depression and grief, travel from wildfire-ravaged Northern California to the Peruvian Amazon for two weeks of psychedelic treatment under a prominent indigenous shaman. Sarah relates and reflects on her experience, her relationship with the shaman and his other clients, the business model of the “ayahuasca center,” and much more. Along the way, Sarah, Abby, and Patrick unpack broader narratives about therapy, ritual, and healing; the ways we metabolize feelings of guilt, sadness, and desires for change; the unavoidable context of capitalism, global inequality, and climate catastrophe; our expectations for psychedelics, our fantasies of transformative experiences, and what we can learn from plants.

Los indígenas de la Amazonia protestan para hacer oír su voz en la conferencia del clima. La ONU condena los ataques incendiarios de colonos israelíes en Cisjordania y la impunidad imperante. “Las atrocidades que se están cometiendo en El Fasher eran previsibles y evitables, pero no se evitaron”, denuncia el Alto Comisionado.
Empezamos el repaso a la actualidad en Brasil, donde el Gobierno de Lula de Silva se prepara para convertirse en un líder ambiental, pero también recordamos que es una potencia petrolera. Una paradoja para Brasil que acoge la 30 conferencia climática de la ONU, COP30, en la Amazonia, en Belém. Comenzará el lunes, pero este jueves se celebra una cumbre de líderes previa. Después, hablamos de otras noticas de Perú, México, y Estados Unidos.Y, a continuación, conocemos a la banda española Nito Serrano y Lapurasangre que estará de gira por España hasta octubre de 2026. Su repertorio fusiona el folclore americano con un sonido innovador que respeta la tradición, pero también la desafía. Una oportunidad de acercarse a los sonidos latinoamericanos con esta banda española.Escuchar audio

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!In this episode of Psychedelic Conversations, recorded in person at Breaking Convention in the UK, we speak with Rebekah Senanayake – a cultural psychologist and PhD candidate specializing in Amazonian traditional knowledge systems. We explore her decade-long fieldwork in the Amazon rainforest, her relationship with master plants, and the profound ritual frameworks surrounding altered states of consciousness. Rebekah shares insights from her recent talk on interspecies communication and the importance of maintaining cultural integrity in the evolving psychedelic space. Together, we reflect on the limitations of reductionist clinical models and the need for long-term, reciprocal relationships with plant medicines. This conversation challenges mainstream narratives and reminds us of the depth, complexity, and ancestral wisdom embedded in these practices.About Rebekah:Rebekah Senanayake is a cultural psychologist and Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Anthropology, specializing in traditional Amazonian knowledge systems.

Desde Holanda, el organismo internacional OCDE reconoció que una empresa petrolera argentino-holandesa vulneró los derechos ambientales y a la salud de las poblaciones locales por su negligencia en el mantenimiento de los ductos. Tras 15 años de explotación, Pluspetrol abandonó un campo de petróleo y dejó miles de sitios contaminados por derrames de crudo. “Nada hasta ahora se ha hecho para limpiar los sitios contaminados por los derrames petroleros”, lamenta Aurelio Chino Dahua, dirigente de la Federación indígena quechua del Pastaza en la Amazonia peruana, una de las 4 organizaciones indígenas peruanas que batalla para que la empresa petrolera Pluspetrol asuma sus responsabilidades. Dahua viajó hasta Holanda para pedir justicia por los sitios contaminados por Pluspetrol, una empresa argentina con sede en Ámsterdam, a cargo del Lote 192 (en Loreto, norte de Perú,) entre 2000 y 2015. Los territorios indígenas de los ríos Pastaza, Corrientes y Tigre siguen pagando un alto costo por los derrames petroleros ocasionados Pluspetrol durante su explotación del mayor campo petrolero peruano: de acuerdo con un estudio de la ONG Fondo de Promoción de las Áreas Naturales Protegidas del Perú, la región suma un total de 3249 sitios contaminados por los derrames de petróleo. “La empresa ha dejado impactos en la salud de las personas con metales pesados como cadmio, plomo, arsénico, mercurio; impactos en el agua y contaminación de los animales”, denuncia el representante indígena, entrevistado por RFI durante su estancia en Europa. “Los oleoductos están corroídos y necesitan un cambio total. El estado peruano tiene que asumir su responsabilidad de repararlos”, afirma Aurelio Chino Dahua. A principios de septiembre, 4 organizaciones indígenas de la región afectada ganaron una batalla: el Punto Nacional de contacto de la Organización de Cooperación y Desarrollo, OCDE, en Holanda, encargado de velar por las obligaciones de las empresas, reconoció la responsabilidad de Pluspetrol en materia de contaminación. “Los derrames y las fugas han seguido siendo un problema debido a un mantenimiento inadecuado”, indica la OCDE en un documento detallado de 42 páginas. Es la primera vez que la OCDE responsabiliza a una empresa buzón, sin actividad real en Holanda, país con un régimen fiscal favorable para las transnacionales. “Esperemos que Pluspetrol asume su responsabilidad de empresa contaminante, que limpie los sitios contaminados y pague indemnizaciones por la contaminación”, pide Aurelio Chino Dahua. Hasta ahora, Pluspetrol se ha negado a hacerse cargo de las tareas de limpieza que le exige el estado peruano, argumentando que se le imputa casos de contaminación anteriores a su periodo de actividad. Las organizaciones indígenas por su parte exigen la realización de estas obras, como condición absoluta antes de cualquier reanudación de la extracción petrolera en la región. Actualmente, el Lote 192 está a cargo de la empresa nacional Petroperú, pero a falta de operador interesado, el campo petrolero está paralizado.
