Crisis, New Imperialisms, and Accumulation by Dispossession: The Case of the Pakistan Railways

Khan, Sher Ali 08 1900 (has links)
My research examines the three interrelated concepts of crisis; new imperialisms, spatial-temporal fix and accumulation by dispossession (ABD) stemming from the work of David Harvey as a way to understand the contested history of the Pakistan Railways. For the first thirty odd years after Pakistan's inception in 1947, the railways, a state-owned institution, was the primary mode of transport for the public, cargo, and workers. Alongside basic infrastructure, the railways had a vast network of hospitals, schools, workers' colonies and an array of physical infrastructure connected to production, operations and other aspects of the economy. The systematic ransack and decline of the Pakistan Railways reached its peak in 2010. Despite several attempts throughout the 1990s by successive democratic and military-led governments backed by the IMF/World Bank in 2015, it was announced that Pakistan railways would be revived under the banner of the 46 billion dollar China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as part of the changing geopolitical context of growing regional connectivity and new Chinese imperialism. By examining the processes that underlie ABD, such as spatial-temporal fix, the following research shows that these processes not only reflect a shift of resources away from the public domain, but in Pakistan also entailed the transformation of the railways from a utilitarian welfare organization to an entity that facilitates looting, unbundling, and dispossession of shared resources and infrastructure.

Colonial, since it develops itself in atrophy, not completely, keeping and reinforcing Brazil as an subaltern bond of the imperialism. Considering the particularity of each author, I remark the works of Caio Prado Jr., Francisco Oliveira, Florestan Fernandes, José Chasin, Octavio Ianni e Maurício Tragtenberg as fundamentals in the marxist formulation of the Brazilian thoughts. The current work starts from The Brazilian March to West, searching our historical particularity. Moved by a late industrialization of the country, the myth of development takes violently all Brazilian people to be submitted to this cause, while the profits pass to be concentrated, even more, in the hands of farmers, national and international dealers. The domination of value of change by the value of use, contradictory present in the products of capitalist civilization, together with the transformation of lands to capital- private property, reaches the limits of Parque Indígena do Xingu (MT) and, slowly, charmingly penetrates the daily life of the aldeias. Considering the studies made since 1965 by the anthropologist Carmen Junqueira, this work intends to critically analyze the arriving of the goods with its values and of the capital-social relation in the aldeia Kamaiurá from Ipavu, analyzing the way the sociability of capital breaks up the existing collectivity, besides pointing out the arrangements and adjustments made by the Kamaiurá when facing the destructive process of our colonial capitalism. This work, contemporary to the capital s crisis era, searches to confront the Brazilian reality without loosing its human horizon, ontological. At last, it defends that the Kamaiurá s way of life, anchored in the collective element of their land, may be put, humanly, against the capital and open, consciously, free paths among the rubble of the amplified production and reproduction of life under the capital / Em nosso processo de transição ao modo de produção e reprodução do capital através de uma via colonial, forjamos um capitalismo particular nos trópicos. Colonial, sim, pois se desenvolve de maneira atrófica, de modo incompleto, perpetuando e acentuando o Brasil como elo subalterno do imperialismo. Sem apagar as particularidades de cada autor, destaco os estudos de Caio Prado Jr., Francisco Oliveira, Florestan Fernandes, José Chasin, Octavio Ianni e Maurício Tragtenberg como essenciais na formulação marxista do pensamento brasileiro. O presente estudo parte da Marcha para o Oeste brasileiro, buscando adentrar na particularidade histórica brasileira. Impulsionado pela industrialização hiper-tardia do país, o mito do desenvolvimento alça violentamente todo povo brasileiro aos mandos desta causa, enquanto o lucro passa a ser concentrado, ainda mais, nas mãos de fazendeiros e empresários, nacionais ou internacionais. A dominação do valor de troca pelo valor de uso, presente contraditoriamente nas mercadorias da civilização capitalista, junto com a transformação da terra em capital-propriedade privada, chega aos limites do Parque Indígena do Xingu (MT) e, aos poucos, penetra sedutoramente no cotidiano das aldeias. Com base nos estudos realizados desde 1965 pela antropóloga Carmen Junqueira, esta obra pretende analisar criticamente a chegada de mercadorias com seus valores e do capital-relação social na aldeia Kamaiurá de Ipavu, analisando de que modo a sociabilidade do capital fragmenta a coletividade ali existente, além de apontar os arranjos e rearranjos Kamaiurá em frente ao processo desestruturante de nosso capitalismo de extração colonial. Este trabalho, contemporâneo aos tempos de crise do capital em todo globo, procura enfrentar a realidade brasileira sem perder seu horizonte humano societário, ontológico. Por fim, defende-se que o modo de exteriorização da vida Kamaiurá, ancorado no elemento coletivo de suas terras, possa se colocar, humanamente, frente ao capital e abrir, de maneira consciente, caminhos livres por entre os escombros do modo de produção e reprodução ampliada da vida sob o capital
