(eng) This article proposes a framework for studying and understandinghow people make claims to land and other natural resources. Weargue that a focus on claim-making practices of actors (individuals,groups, institutions, companies, the state), and the processes ofappropriation, accessing and contestation that come along with it,best responds to Sikor and Lund’s call to examine“the grey zone”between access and property. We identify and discuss three practi-ces of claim making:“grounding claims”is the practice of inscribingor altering the landscape with visible markers connoting ownership;“talking claims”is when speech is used strategically to make, justifyand contest claims; and“representing claims”is when claims are rep-resented on material objects (maps, title deeds) that are detachedfrom the resource. We contribute to debates on enclosure, large-scale land acquisitions and resource grabbing by providing a lens ofclaim making through which these processes can be conceptualized.
