Geographies of Difference, Indifference and Mis-difference
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-44483-6 (ISBN)
Drawing on a wide range of philosophical debates, and offering groundbreaking new insights into geographically specific trends through the lens of indigenous geographies, Ioris explores how political actors use notions of difference to foster indifference for the purposes of domination, which ultimately crystallizes in what he terms mis-difference: a calcified, difficult-to-overcome obstacle to concord and fairness that underpins capitalist relations of property and production. At the same time, Ioris shows how some social actors use the concept of difference for reconciliation, for overcoming indifference and mis-difference, and suggests how these moves can help to fight against ideologies that produce our unequal world and facilitate land-grabs. Ioris elucidates all of this in concrete terms through a study of the Guarani-Kaiowa people in Brazil: of how they have been oppressed by state-sanctioned indifference and misdifference, and of how they are resisting through a contestation of what difference can mean, and how it can function, in the contemporary world.
Antonio Augusto Rossotto Ioris is Professor of Human Geography at the University of Cardiff, UK. He has previously been the author or editor of 24 books, including recent works on the Amazon and on indigenous studies such as Kaiowcide: Living through the Guarani-Kaiowa Genocide (2021). He has managed several international projects around the situation faced by the Guarani-Kaiowa indigenous population.
