Abstract

Domination and Cultural Resistance examines the social life of the Yura, a Quechua-speaking Andean ethnic group of central Bolivia, and focuses especially on their indigenous authorities, the kuraqkuna or elders. Combining ethnohistorical research with contemporary fieldwork, Roger Neil Rasnake traces the evolution of leadership roles within the changing composition of the native Andean social groupings, the ayllus-from the consolidation of pre-Hispanic Aymara polities, through the pressures of the Spanish colonial regime and the increasing fragmentation of the repub

Abstract

Este testimonio fue recogido por Martine du Authier cuando, siendo estudiante de Etnología, realizaba una investigación sobre la fiesta mestiza de la Virgen del Carmen de Paucartambo (Cuzco), habiendo sido David Villasante González (1900-1988) uno de sus principales informantes. Después del fallecimiento de este último, el libro se pudo terminar gracias al concurso de una de sus hijas, Rosaldina. Dotado de grandes calidades humanas, David Villasante fue un apasionado de las tradiciones culturales de su pueblo, sin establecer jerarquías entre los elementos indígenas y mestizos. Su arraigo a su entorno vital fue de la mano con una creatividad de dones múltiples: era a la vez dibujante, acuarelista, escultor, fotógrafo, bordador, poeta, dramaturgo, músico, compositor, danzante, coreógrafo, diseñador de máscaras y de trajes, además de autodidacta inspirado: La fiesta de Paucartambo, su pueblo natal, está marcada por su fecunda vida.

Abstract

The aim of this book is to explore the current research into the ways in which Andean peoples create, transmit, maintain and transform their knowledge in culturally significant ways, and how processes of teaching and learning relate to these. The contributions, from eminent researchers in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies and linguistics, include cross-disciplinary approaches, and cover a diverse geographic area from Ecuador to Peru, Bolivia and Northern Chile. The case studies reflect on the variously harmonious and conflictive relationships between knowledge, power, communicative media and cultural identities in Andean societies, from within local, national and global perspectives.

Abstract

Mourning Remains examines the attempts to find, recover, and identify the bodies of Peruvians who were disappeared during the 1980s and 1990s counterinsurgency campaign in Peru's central southern Andes. Isaias Rojas-Perez explores the lives and political engagement of elderly Quechua mothers as they attempt to mourn and seek recognition for their kin. Of the estimated 16,000 Peruvians disappeared during the conflict, only the bodies of 3,202 victims have been located, and only 1,833 identified. The rest remain unknown or unfound, scattered across the country and often shattered beyond recognition. Rojas-Perez examines how, in the face of the state's failure to account for their missing dead, the mothers rearrange senses of community, belonging, authority, and the human to bring the disappeared back into being through everyday practices of mourning and memorialization. Mourning Remains reveals how collective mourning becomes a political escape from the state's project of governing past death and how the dead can help secure the future of the body politic.
