Género, turismo y exportación: ¿llamando a la plata en el Perú?
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Henrici, Jane
This article offers a brief description of the cases of some women living in the region of Cusco, Peru, who are involved in the production or sale of ethnic objects for the tourist and the export markets. The analysis shows that, while social agents usually emphasize cultural equality and exchange in their discourse, in practice their participation in these circuits tends to reinforce economic and political inequalities.

La migración femenina: estrategias de sostenimiento y movilidad social entre peruanos en España y Argentina
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Paerregaard, Karsten
This article studies the gender pattern of Peruvian migration to Spain and Argentina. The author compares the different contexts that migrants face in both countries and the possibilities that are offered to migrant women in terms of jobs and social mobility. The author also analyzes how these opportunities are reflected in the expectations of Peruvian women to support their families in Peru and to be able to bring them to Spain and Argentina in the long run. Additionally, she explores how migrants design strategies to achieve these expectations through a mind-set (imaginario) where migration is represented as a global hierarchical network and migration targets. The questions underlying this research include the following: who are the women that migrate to these two countries? What type of social network do they use to migrate and how do they migrate? Which are the strategies they develop to support themselves and insert themselves in the labor market of Spain and Argentina? Which are the similarities and the differences observed between Peruvian migration to Spain and Argentina, and which are the economic and social opportunities they encounter as migrants? The data on which this paper is based —the migration experiences of three Peruvian women in each country— was gathered through field work which was carried out in Spain, in 1997, and in Argentina, in 2000.

Saber emocional y estética de sí mismo: la perspectiva de la medicina floral
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Pedraza Gómez, Zandra
This article studies the main anthropological features implicit in the conception of floral therapy and its use as an expression of a type of emotional knowledge that reveals changes in terms of Norbert Elías’ model of affection control, which characterizes the civilization process according to said author. The increasingly widespread use of this kind of therapies suggests that subjectivity has not only achieved greater importance in today’s contemporary anthropological conception, but also that it is strongly connected to the notion of corporality and to an aesthetics-politics that enhances the contemporary analytical scope of the concept of biopower.

Procesos de apropiación del espacio y sociabilidad vecinal en un gran conjunto urbano situado en la ciudad de Buenos Aires
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Girola, María Florencia
This article aspires to be a contribution to an anthropological approach on housing and habitat, understanding both notions as complex socio-cultural phenomena. In this sense, our aim is to reflect —from an ethnographic point of view— on the processes whereby living spaces are appropriated, as well as to reflect on certain features that neighbors’ sociability adopts in a social-interest housing complex built as a large urban unit in the South-East area of Buenos Aires, specifically in the barrio of Villa Soldati. In order to do so, we made a distinction between planned spaces and developed spaces, and also differentiated three uses of the common and shared spaces in this particular housing complex: spaces with idle use, incompatible use and uncivil use. The qualitative methodology used in this study was based on a still ongoing field work, which included field observation and non-directive in-depth interviews, as well as the analysis of written secondary sources —official documents, statistic data, journalistic articles—.

Religiones omnívoras: el chamanismo chané y las relaciones interétnicas
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Villar, Diego
Of Arawak origin, the ethnic group identified as the Chané indigenous group in the Amerindian literature, settled on the eastern slopes of the Andes before the Conquest of the Occidental region or Paraguayan Chaco took place. There, this group engaged in complex inter-ethnic relationships with other Guarani-speaking ethnic groups, Chaco natives, and thereafter, as the colonization process consolidated, with several Creole social agents: landowners, foremen of sugar plantations, the military, and missionaries. Supported by ethnographic and ethno-historical documents, the author suggests that the open, flexible, malleable and integrating organization of Chané shamanism was marked by these multiple historical interactions, thereby becoming an ideal symbolic language to reflect the problems arising from situations of intercultural contact.

La memoria de la ciudad en TAFOS: antropología visual cuando el otro tiene la cámara (portafolio fotográfico con breve prólogo)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Ramírez Corzo, Daniel
This paper offers and analyses a selection of pictures —with special emphasis on those representing urban scenes — from the photographic collection of Tafos’ Social Photography Workshop. Its main purpose is to highlight some important issues in contemporary discussion about anthropology in general and visual anthropology in particular: (1) theoretical and methodological issues and aspects associated with the experience developed by TAFOS in the field of visual anthropology, and (2) the role that these pictures may have in the construction of Lima’s collective memory.

«Tormenta» en la Red: apropiación de imágenes y protesta social en torno a una telenovela
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2007-03-27) Álvarez, Silvia G.
In the context of virtual communication systems, the new rationale of social participation and the mechanisms used for the appropriation of the resources, contents and meanings that are broadcast through telematic networks are analyzed here from a political anthropology viewpoint. A case study is used in this paper to highlight how a globalized protest is developed against the presentation of a South American soap opera, La Tormenta (The Storm), which was broadcast on the Internet. Users’ capacity for action to convert the Network into ameans of organization and critique and collectively react against the power of the media is analyzed here. This political action went beyond the virtual field to the real world, thus allowing the recognition of rights. This uprise in the network of consumers of cultural products has contributed to transform conventional mechanisms of citizen participation, using the social and emotional connections provided by the new information technologies.
