Between the Plough and the Pick deepens our understanding of informal, artisanal and small scale mining, popularly known as ASM. The book engages with wider scholarly conceptualisations of contemporary global social, agrarian and political changes, whilst underlining the roles that local social political historical contexts play in shaping mineral extractive processes and practices. It shows that the people who are engaged in these mining practices are often the poorest and most exploited labourers erstwhile peasants caught in the vortex of global change, who perform the most insecure and dangerous tasks. Although these people are located at the margins of mainstream economic life, they collectively produce enormous amounts of diverse material commodities and find a livelihood (and often a pathway out of oppressive poverty). The contributions to this book bring these people to the forefront of debates on resource politics. The contributors are international scholars and practitioners who explore the complexities in the histories, in labour and production practices, the forces driving such mining, the creative agency and capacities of these miners, as well as the human and environmental costs of ASM. They show how these informal, artisanal and small scale miners are inextricably engaged with, or bound to, global commodity values, are intimately involved in the production of new extractive territories and rural economies, and how their labour reshapes agrarian communities and landscapes of resource access and control. This book drives home the understanding that, collectively, this social and economic milieu redefines our conceptualisation of resource politics, mineral dependent livelihoods, extractive geographies of resources and commodities, and their multiple meanings.

The conferences on 'Applications for Computers and Operations Research in the Minerals Industry' (APCOM) initially focused on the optimization of geostatistics and resource estimation. Several standard methods used in these fields were presented in the early days of APCOM. While geostatistics remains an important part, information technology has emerged, and nowadays APCOM not only focuses on geostatistics and resource estimation, but has broadened its horizon to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the mineral industry. Mining Goes Digital is a collection of 90 high quality, peer reviewed papers covering recent ICT-related developments in: - Geostatistics and Resource Estimation- Mine Planning- Scheduling and Dispatch - Mine Safety and Mine Operation- Internet of Things, Robotics- Emerging Technologies - Synergies from other industries - General aspects of Digital Transformation in Mining Mining Goes Digital will be of interest to professionals and academics involved or interested in the above-mentioned areas.

Recherchées et exploitées depuis l’origine des civilisations, les ressources minérales sont un moteur de l’activité économique et un champ d’observation unique grâce aux informations exceptionnelles qu’elles apportent à notre connaissance de la Terre et de son environnement. L’utilisation raisonnée de ces ressources, la gestion des impacts liés à leur exploitation ou encore la raréfaction sur le moyen terme des gisements les plus riches, notamment en métaux stratégiques, pourraient modifier profondément le paysage économique. Comment exploiter ces ressources de façon durable ?

This book offers multidisciplinary perspectives on the changing relationships between states, indigenous peoples and industries in the Arctic and beyond. It offers insights from Nordic countries, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Russia to present different systems of resource governance and practices of managing industry-indigenous peoples’ relations in the mining industry, renewable resource development and aquaculture. Chapters cover growing international interest on Arctic natural resources, globalization of extractive industries and increasing land use conflicts. It considers issues such as equity, use of knowledge, development of company practices, conflict-solving measures and the role of indigenous institutions. Focus on Indigenous peoples and Governance triangle Multidisciplinary: political science, legal studies, sociology, administrative studies, Indigenous studies. Global approach: Nordic countries, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Canada Thorough case studies, rich material and analysis The book will be of great interest to legal scholars, political scientists, experts in administrative sciences, authorities at different levels (local, regional and nations), experts in human rights and natural resources governance, experts in corporate social governance.

La Revolución de 1952 elevó al máximo dirigente sindical minero al rango de ministro de Estado. Pero el cambio semántico de "mineros" a "ministros" evoca también la subordinación de los mineros a la deidad diabólica del subsuelo, que los convierte en verdaderos ministros del diablo. Para ellos, la extracción minera es una actividad ritualizada, auténtica peregrinación y recorrido iniciático que fusiona el cristianismo sincrético de los Andes con antiguas prácticas chamánicas: poseído por la deidad diabólica de las vetas, el propio minero se vuelve diablo y se une sexualmente a la mina para producir mineral. Este libro, resultado de una larga investigación de campo en las míticas minas de plata de Potosí, explora el sentido del trabajo extractivo para los mineros e indaga las articulaciones entre el universo religioso y otros parámetros de la experiencia minera (relaciones de trabajo, cambios tecnológicos, configuraciones identitarias y de género, así como las movilizaciones políticas) en un contexto en el que los poderes del diablo obrero dialogan en contrapunto con el mercado internacional de los metales.
