STUDIO W3 THE UNDERBELLY: COLOMBIA & CORRUPTION

The corrupt underbelly of Colombia

Weak and unaccountable public institutions in Latin America have created a fertile ground for organised criminal networks to flourish, fuelling violence and insecurity. In many countries, law enforcement and corrupt officials collaborate with criminal gangs or accept bribes in exchange for turning a blind eye to their illicit activities. Additionally, evidence suggests that organised criminals wield a strong influence over candidates and politicians, financing electoral campaigns and even running for office themselves.

Colombia has a relatively high corruption index, with the highest number of killings of human rights defenders with 138/year, followed by Mexico with 42/year, and 27/year in Brazil. Too often, murders of environmental and anti-corruption defenders go unpunished due to corruption, criminals infiltrating local governments and the justice system.

The solution could be to follow the United states: Well functioning democratic systems boost transparency and accountability. Gustavo Petro’s victory in 2022 presidential elections has generated expectations of change, spurred on by massive protests in 2019 and 2021 as a result of the high levels of corruption and organised crime, like illegal deforestation, which act as barriers to achieving the country’s social, economic and environmental agenda.

Governments in the Americas should strengthen their institutions to ensure the necessary checks and balances to fight corruption effectively. Governments should also guarantee adequate conditions for civil society, activists and different communities to participate in public life and demand accountability without fear of retaliation.

The Public Sphere

What is a public sphere? When individual people come together in a public space that has equal ad protected participation, unlimited access to information and which is outside of institutional influence. They gather to further critical knowledge using reason which can lead to political change.

But, does the public sphere actually exist? Is there a space on social media that meets all the requirements of a ‘public sphere’? I’m not sure that there is a one space that isn’t overlooked by the platform to some extent, or where everyone has full access and equal participation. Public spheres are spaces where people need to feel safe to express themselves and their ideas and opinions, does that exist on social media?

For example, TikTok heavily relies on algorithms to bring content to the individual, meaning that people who may be interested in participating in a public sphere, may not know it even exists. Or, in a post-2018 Tumblr, restrictions are tighter and there is heavier supervision.

However, people believe that micro-publics have popped up all over different social media platforms. Facebook groups, comments, blogging, and hashtag activism.

#bodypositive

A hashtag that people tag their selfies with. A hashtag that has the potential to depict a greater diversity and authenticity, smashing through the so-called ideal female body. But its also at risk of promoting self-objectification, of internalising the ‘thin ideal’.

BUT, the hashtag brings together a community of like-minded people. People that believe in celebrating all bodies, people who embrace confidence and empowerment and who want to protest in favour of female beauty and more diversity. Solidarity across class, race, and sexuality.

The Mothman - WK3

The mothman is another cryptid, which was witnessed mostly in Point Pleasant town in West Virginia during the 1960s. When some claimed to have seen a creature as big as a car with wings and red eyes the Mothman legend developed at a very fast rate. All but two of the reports were within the period November, 1966 December, 1967 and most claim that it warned of the Silvers Bridge tragedy. This creature has since then got an entry in the folklore of West Virginia with several books, documentaries, festival all dedicated to this creation. Culturally, the Mothman has appeared in various movies, famous of which is The Mothman Prophesies, which came into the market in 2002, and Richard Gere in the lead role. The film is based on the book of John Keel published in 1975 which is about the relation of sightings and Silver’s Bridge. To some people the Mothman might be a real unknown creature, to others it could be a large bird such a sandhill crane seen at distance due to heightened stress. In my opinion the Mothman would reveal more about peoples mind set and the role of the legends. That is what makes it such a good story, mysterious and feared or at least scary and to top it all off miserable.

THE UNDERBELLY: COLOMBIA & CORRUPTION

Primary concepts talked about on the table with David (tutor): NETWORK / TOURISM / POWER / GENDER / POVERTY / REDISTRIBUTION

MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

find a key metric (in my case it seems to be corruption), and find a way to make an empirical improvement.

NEXT WEEK:

FURTHER DEVELOP STG TEAM TOPIC IN RELATION TO INFO & DATA FOUND

FURTHER DEVELOP DATA VISUALISATION PDF'ABLE

EXPERIMENT WITH VISUALISATION & MORE METRICS

FURTHER SITE ANALYSIS.//DONT FOCUS SOLELY ON LARGE

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF INFO

PERHAPS SELECT NEIGHBORHOOD

Refer to site / context plans which are required based on the data - create an informed perspective on Bogota & the data is represents.

Connect to an area. Begin the site analysis.

TASKS MOVING FORWARD: Build a supplementary file around a team. Visualise the microdata on a macro scale.

OG Content (WK3)

Style Choice:

I really enjoy the design element of this post. This instagram account describes the astrological signs through pictures that show how different aspects of the signs are perceived. The pictures generally depict how the traits exist within the sign. For example here, the fuzzy skin on the outside of the peach (logically sensible) and inside the hard coarse pit (illogically stubborn). I think that this is a clever way to convey this information. They often use pleasant colors, sleek fonts and incorporate the “comic book” pointillism in the graphic. I always look forward to these posts from this account.

We definitely know who killed this lady and the results may shock you

Article written by WK3 reporter*

We asked John Wifekiller III if he really killed his wife and he said, 'that would really undermine my efforts to be seen as a feminist, wouldn't it?' so clearly it wasn't him.
