El yoco del cielo es cultivado: perspectivas sobre Paullinia yoco en el chamanismo airo-pai (secoya-tucano occidental)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Belaunde, Luisa Elvira; Echeverri, Juan Alvaro
This article associates Airo-pai shamanistic vision and interpretation of dreams with their silvicultural management of yoco (Paullinia yoco), a wild vine rich in caffeine, endemic to the pleistocene refuge of Napo. According to Airo-pai ethnobotanic notions, yoco is a plantthat «gives advice» to those who intake it. From the analysis of a shamanic chant of yajé (Banisteriopsis caapi), myths and interpretation of dreams, we show how the management of this species is conceived from contrasting perspectives: for celestial beings, yoco is a domesticated plant that grows in the celestial gardens; for cuacuiyó (yoco’s «Master»), a seed-dispersing bird, yoco is its own plantation; and for terrestrial human beings, the collection of wild yoco is like hunting, associated in dreams with the nocturnal curassow (Nothocrax urumutum). This study thus illustrates the relevance of a perspectivist approach to understand the ethnobotanic lore underlying the management and extraction of a wild species of ritual and practical importance.

Reproducción identitaria y social en las redes translocales de migrantes de dos pueblos andinos
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Malengreau, Jacques
This article contrasts strategies adopted by migrants from two Andeancommunities located in different regions in Peru, in their useof social, cultural, and material networks, taking into consideration the place they settle in and where they come from, their translocal experience. These strategies are embedded in a parallel form; on the one hand there is an extension of the domestic bonds from the original village in the place they finally settle down in, mostly givenby a transgenerational continuation, based on collateral descendance (uncle/aunt – nephew/niece), which weakens the original supradomestic collective identities; and, on the other hand, the newly interethnic neighborhood bonds which transform the social solidarity model in the place they settle down in. These strategies that combine hierarchy, clientelism, reciprocity and redistribution, also imply a new interpretation of norms regulated by the «liberal», productive, competitive and consumer model, conditioned by a foreign world which is manifested in a transnational and transregional form.Hence, these strategies can be seen as a development of common traits, particularities related not only to social-historic and cultural heritage, but also to a type of destination chosen by these migrants, for example metropolitan Lima, the urban and regional centers and the Oriental tropical valleys.

La duplicación de funciones y posiciones de parentesco como estrategia para la construcción de la paternidad/maternidad en las familias reconstituidas
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Jociles Rubio, María Isabel; Villaamil Pérez, Fernando
It is interesting to notice that authors such as Théry (1985), le Gall and Marin (1993) and le Gall (1996) who study reconstituted families have not dealt with all of the possible consequences of the idea of family constellation, specially the one which states that the concept of family should include more than just residency. Another point to notice is that the paternity and maternity analysis hasn’t been applied within the family modality. This article presents the results of an investigation where this idea has proven to be very successful in analysing the ways in which father/mother and stepfather/stepmother parental positions and roles are formed in the basis of these families, given that the ways in which the role or parental position of a biological father without custody is formed is not independent from other ways in which a stepfather manages to build his parental position, just like during these processes members of the family constellation also have some influence, such as the spouses’s or couple’s parents.

Identidades sociales y representaciones políticas en conflicto: el sistema educativo chileno en los Andes de Arica, 1884-1929
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Mondaca, Carlos
This paper aims to explain and analyze how certain contradictionis manifested in the social identities in the population of the Andeanhighlands of Arica during the process of implementing the post-PacificWar education, specially in its act of incorporating the policies ofthe Chilean education in these territories when there was a renewedresidue of Peruvian citizenship in the everyday act of this Andeanpopulation (currently, northern Chile).In characterizing this process of socio-political and socio-culturalmixtures, I intend to discuss two points: first, that beyond the processitself, there was since before the occupation a Chilean idea of modernityimplemented by a liberal ideology that permeated the wholenineteenth century Peruvian society. Second, that there was a disputeof an education beyond the nationalities in conflict as an articulatingaxis. Since there was a clear involvement of local schools to theirdesignated Andean spaces, I suggest using the idea of modernity thatcould support this proposal.

La agonía de la ética y la antropología. Notas a partir del pensamiento de Manuel Marzal
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Mujica Bermúdez, Luis
This paper is divided into three different sections. The first sectionconsiders the annotations of Manuel Marzal, an anthropologist and professor at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú who passed away in the year 2005, about ethics as a concern coming form an anthropological perspective. Secondly, the article presents a balance on the bibliography about this issue, contrasting Marzal’s preoccupations with the latest bibliography, mainly Peruvian, which deals with ethics and morals in an explicit or implicit sort of way. Finally, living in the post-political violence and Commission for Truth and Reconciliation Final Report period, in order to make an anthropology on ethics one has to consider two methodological references and four dimensions to explore the people’s behaviors in relationto others. The methodological references require a «dense description » on morality to try to understand the simplicity of the relations and investigate and reflect on a multidisciplinary perspective. The four dimensions in which to explore ethics are daily life, religiosity, economics and politics.

Los yagua en el contexto del turismo étnico. La construcción de la cultura para el consumo en el caso de Nuevo Perú
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Chaparro Ortiz de Zevallos, Anahí
This article analyses the way in which culture is produced as a consumer good within the ‘ethnical tourism’, in the case of the community ‘Nuevo Perú’, in the Peruvian Amazon. It points out that tourism should be analyzed as a contemporary ritual, a social practice in itself where a new culture for a specific audience is formed. The article’s main focus consists in analyzing how culture is created for touristic purposes from the interaction between the three actors involved in the mis en scène —the tourists, the enterprise and the local population—, while at the same this interaction is placed within the global ideas that circulate around tourism and the place of destination.

Comparación de sistemas analogistas mesoamericanos y animistas del noroeste amazónico
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008-03-29) Otaegui, Alfonso Manuel
Partiendo de ideas de Descola (Par-délà Nature et Culture: 2005),comparamos un sistema típicamente analogista: el de los nahuas deMéxico con sistemas del noroeste amazónico, que generan problemasen la clasificación, ya que —aunque descritos como animistas— algunosde sus rasgos recuerdan al analogismo. El objetivo principal esdeterminar qué tipos de sistemas pueden generar los diversos modosde identificación, y si esas configuraciones sistémicas pueden explicarlas similitudes entre los casos mencionados. Luego de destacar suscomponentes lógicos describimos los sistemas que los organizan. Sibien ambos —nahuas y noroeste amazónico— coinciden en nociónde causalidad circular, fuerte idea de orden que organiza las relacionesentre los componentes del mundo, la idea de que las accionesindividuales afectan peligrosamente la totalidad, estos serían efectosde superficie de sistemas cuyos elementos están excesivamente relacionados.No obstante, hay una diferencia de grado entre ambasconformaciones, y es la más rígida la de los nahuas —un solo sistema,elementos inferiores a la individualidad, noción de equilibrio— quela del noroeste —sistemas con subsistemas, elementos equivalentesa la individualidad, noción de estabilidad—. Argumentamos que estadiferencia de grado nace en sus diversos modos de identificación.
