«La sangre no puede mentir». Entre una concepción genético-estratégica del territorio y una manera relacional de ver el mundo
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-08-09) Volpi, Laura
Kichwa indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon Forest are facing a territorial conflict due to the establishment of a Regional Conservation Area on their homelands. In order to question the legitimacy of native claims, the Regional Government puts forward the hypothesis of the Andean kichwa migration. On the other hand, several cultural mediators hope to help this native people, using some biomolecular investigations (Sandoval et al., 2016; Barbieri et al., 2017) that «scientifically» certify its ancestral relationship with the surrounding territories. This article wants to examine the existing misunderstandings about the concepts of «ancestry» and «territory» whose meaning, in the native sphere, overcomes limits imposed by national jurisdiction and legal terminology. Despite having assimilated an ancestral-genetic discourse, several indigenous leaders reshape it in light of a native conception of territory, perceived as a complex network of present and active relationships between living people and ancestors.

Historia y disponibilidad de sal en el Bajo Huallaga. Formas de apropiación de una mina de sal en una comunidad kichwa
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-08-09) Valderrama Zevallos, Miguel
This article explores the links between the Kichwa of the Comunidad Nativa Callanayaku (Bajo Huallaga) and the salt mine of the same name, based on what they say about its use in the past. The stories about the history of this mine highlight several interactions between the Kichwa of Callanayaku with foreign people (employees of a tax company, indigenous people from other indigenous groups, merchants, health personnel) through the circulation of salt, especially commercial exchange. The availability of salt for all these groups is explained by the people in Callanayaku through the control over social relationships in trade networks and the distribution of salt.

Redes territoriales: relaciones de crianza kichwa lamista y San Martín como «región verde»
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-08-09) Chaparro, Anahí
This article presents an exercise of symmetric anthropology, following the paths proposed by Latour (1994), comparing two networks - not disconnected from each other – that are linked by different ways of knowing: that of the relationships that constitute the territory of «San Martín, región verde» and that of the Kichwa Lamista nurture relationships, departing from Alto Pucalpillo community. The interest of this article is to approach the bonds that this knowledge activates through its effects, its ways of constituting subjects and producing the territory. On one hand, the intertwining between humans, plants, animals and other beings that share the same environment, as subjects with agency, affections and their own will, forms a network of care, not without tension. On the other hand, the network of actors that participate in the conservation of the “green region” relates to the territory as an objective reality from which it can extract a truth. From a technical-scientific knowledge conceived as neutral, they create maps that define borders in space and between what is legal and what is illegal, at the same time that they question the condition of native communities as subjects of rights. With this, the author does not intend to affirm that there aren’t intersections between de two networks, but rather the need to direct ourselves towards a nutritive coexistence.
