Abstract
La fórmula ‘Amenaza x Vulnerabilidad = Riesgo’ ha sido fundamental en visibilizar, politizar y develar la construcción social del riesgo de desastres. Sin embargo, esta formula y críticas a la misma se han posicionado desde categorías del pensamiento occidental. A partir de los aprendizajes que hemos construido con mujeres embera pertenecientes al Cabildo urbano indígena Kurmadó (Risaralda, Colombia) este articulo propone una reflexión teórica y metodológica, desde unaperspectiva crítica-feminista, considerando relaciones de saberes inspiradas por el pensamiento decolonial latinoamericano. Nos preguntamos: ¿qué pueden (o deben) aprender los estudios de riesgos y desastres de estas mujeres y de sus saberes del habitar el territorio? El primer encuentro es una lectura breve de la historia de los estudios de riesgos y desastres. El segundo encuentro, presenta la investigación co-producida con las mujeres embera y problematiza la gestión del riesgo en su sentido más socio-lingüístico, considerando las prácticas de cuidado hacia y desde sus cuerpos y sus territorios. En el encuentro tres, presentamos una reflexión a partir de la geografía critica y el pensamiento decolonial. Finalmente, hacemos un llamado para que los estudios de desastres reconozcan epistemologías y saberes desde otras formas de vivir y dar respuesta al riesgo en America Latina. The formula ‘Hazard x Vulnerability = Risk’ has been central in making visible, politicizing, and revealing the social construction of disaster risk. However, this formula and its criticisms are based on Western categories of knowledge production. Based on what we have learnt through our work with Embera women belonging to the Kurmadó Indigenous Council (Risaralda, Colombia), this article proposes a theoretical and methodological reflection, from a critical-feminist perspective inspired by Latin-American decolonial thought. We ask: what can (or should) the studies of risk and disasters learn from these women and from their ways of inhabiting the territory? The first section presents a summary of the history of risk and disaster studies. The second section presents the research co-produced with the Embera women and problematizes risk management in its most socio-linguistic sense, considering their practices of care towards and from their bodies and their territories. The final section presents a reflection based on critical geography and decolonial thinking. We therefore invite disaster studies to recognise epistemologies and knowledges based on other ways of experiencing and responding to risk in Latin America.
