Departing from an ethnographic moment sitting with Resguardo colleagues under the effigy of an enormous devil, I use the flatulent space under the devil\u2019s ass as a vantage point from which to analyze disjunctures and conjunctures between legal systems. I showcase recent devilish tactics the State and conservative political apparatus have used to undermine Indigenous rights gains at the highest levels of law-making. And I probe the lethal gaseous gap between law on the books and law in action around Indigenous rights and the possibility of legal pluralities in Colombia. Against this backdrop, I examine the Embera Cham\u00eds\u2019 attempts to implement the concept of \u201cinterlegality\u201d\u2014in this case, the exercise of Indigenous law in coordination with State law particularly around gold mining and delimiting ancestral territory\u2014and the pushback this has received. In dialogue with the literature on legal pluralities and taking up the analysis of Embera Cham\u00ed authorities, I argue that \u201cstrong legal pluralism\u201d and interlegality requires first sustained efforts to unlearn State law and to revitalize Indigenous legal orders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[8,9,10,11],"class_list":["post-8839","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_audience-alumni","cu_event_audience-anyone","cu_event_audience-carleton-community","cu_event_audience-current-students"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2022-11-22T13:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2022-11-22T14:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"RB","cu_event_meeting_room":"3202","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Global and International Studies","cu_event_email":"bgins@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/8839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/8839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8877,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/8839\/revisions\/8877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=8839"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bgins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=8839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
