Comments on: Position of San Miguel Tiltepec on México Indígena http://elenemigocomun.net/2210/x/en/ The Common Enemy y Oaxaqueñ@ Solidarity Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:09:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Steve McClure http://elenemigocomun.net/2210/x/en/#comment-496601 Steve McClure Sun, 02 Aug 2009 20:08:40 +0000 http://elenemigocomun.net/?p=2210#comment-496601 The Bowman expeditions smack of the same old imperialist geography, pointing to the varied terrains of struggle. The university is a site for ideological struggle around the question of whose science and for what purposes will it be deployed. It is a battle that seems not to be joined in any meaningful way when the great divide seems to be methodological rather than political. Discourse analysis and deconstruction are just as maliable to the needs of power as are quantitative methods. It angers me that GISci could be a technology that enables oppressed communities to self represent cartographically. As an activist I have found that GIS and spatial analysis have been helpful in determining organizing strategies. The masters tools can be used to tear down the master`s house, jazz is african music played on western instruments.
