Title A name given to the resource Hydroterritorial Configuration and Confrontation: The Daule-Peripa Multipurpose Hydraulic Scheme in Coastal Ecuador Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Juan Pablo Hidalgo-Bastidas, Rutgerd Boelens, Edgar Isch Description An account of the resource There is a forceful new impetus toward mega-hydraulic projects in Latin America, which are booming but also highly controversial. They bring benefits to some social groups while many others are negatively affected. Technocratic discourses are dominant in the region; they strategically mobilize institutions, infrastructure, money, and knowledge to present particular hydrosocial territorial imaginaries—such as multipurpose dams—as natural, universal, and politically neutral. Meanwhile, affected local communities commonly envision and practice different discourses, values, and worldviews, based on contextualized notions of well-being and territoriality. Using a political ecology perspective, this article examines how the Daule-Peripa mega-hydraulic scheme—Ecuador’s “hydraulic heart”—has de- and repatterned the territory, producing new hierarchical relations and unequal distribution of socioenvironmental impacts. Though political discourses have changed throughout state-centralist and neoliberal époques, governmental policies and practices have continued and renewed their defense of mega-hydraulism. In turn, affected communities and families, through everyday territorial politics, respond and aim to rearrange the hydrosocial network in order to regain control over water, land, and territorial services. En América Latina hay un nuevo auge de proyectos megahidráulicos que, simultáneamente es muy controversial. Estos proyectos benefician a algunos grupos sociales, mientras que muchos otros son afectados negativamente. Junto a éstos, se movilizan estratégicamente instituciones, infraestructura, dinero y conocimiento con el fin de presentar a imaginarios hidro-sociales particulares como naturales y políticamente neutros. Al mismo tiempo, las comunidades afectadas practican y reproducen diferentes discursos y formas de valoración, fundamentadas en nociones situadas de bienestar y territorialidad. Desde la ecología política y la literatura crítica sobre neoextractivismo, este artículo muestra cómo el megasistema multipropósito Daule-Peripa –corazón hidráulico del Ecuador– ha transformado el territorio, involucrando nuevas relaciones jerárquicas y la distribución inequitativa de impactos socio-ambientales. A pesar de que los discursos oficialistas han cambiado desde la época neoliberal, las políticas y prácticas de gobierno se han renovado y continúan defendiendo y promocionando el imperativo megahidráulico durante regímenes autodenominados progresistas, como el liderado por la llamada revolución ciudadana. Este articulo muestra la importancia de entender el auge contemporáneo de megasistemas hidráulicos como construcciones sociotécnicas desde una perspectiva repolitizada e histórica.
