Ecological Displacement and Moral Borders: Toward a No Border Ethics in a Collapsing World
(2025) Aggarwal, Sachin
As the climate crisis accelerates, ecological degradation is making vast swaths of the planet uninhabitable. This slow-moving disaster is producing a wave of human displacement—millions forced from their homes by sea-level rise, drought, extreme weather, and environmental collapse. Yet those displaced are not being protected by the international legal system, and the countries most responsible for climate change are often the least willing to accept them. This paper argues that current frameworks around climate migration are both ethically and politically insufficient. Legal definitions such as "refugee" and "migrant" fail to capture the structural violence and involuntary nature of climate displacement, leaving people unprotected and stateless. Through a synthesis of philosophical argument, legal analysis, feminist theory, and ecosocialist critique, I propose a reparative, justice-oriented approach to climate migration rooted in the concept of "ecologically displaced people." Building from the failures of adaptation and resilience narratives, this paper explores how the Global North must bear a disproportionate obligation to provide refuge, land, and rights to displaced people—grounded in both needs and culpability. It further examines the capitalist logic of borders as tools of exclusion and labor control, ultimately proposing No Border politics and mutual aid as radical, necessary alternatives to a collapsing global order. In doing so, the paper aligns with red-green political frameworks to advocate a collective, anti-capitalist response to the ecological and moral emergency of climate displacement.
Hello Friends, Cantemos: La música en las representaciones de lo latinoamericano en largometrajes de ficción hollywoodenses durante la Política del buen vecino (1933-1945)
(Ariadna Ediciones, 2023) Loyola Tapia, Juan Carlos
During the 1930s and 1940s, the Hollywood industry, with the support of the US State Department, produced an enormous amount of propaganda films with themes around Latin America. In these productions, music played a fundamental role, being one of the most persuasive and strategic resources that the government and the film industry had to appeal to the emotionalities of their audiences, in order to favor a project of hegemony. Assuming as a problem the weak presence of the sound dimension – and within this, the musical dimension – within the academic literature that addresses this phenomenon, this research proposes a rereading, from the musical point of view, of a representational phenomenon that meant, among other things, the configuration of what from then on is understood in the global music industry as “Latin music”
