Anthropologica del Departamento de Ciencias Sociales es una publicación de la Especialidad de Antropología de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú que se edita desde 1983.

Anthropologica publica trabajos originales inéditos resultado de las investigaciones empíricas y etnográficas más recientes dentro de la antropología y disciplinas afines en el ámbito nacional e internacional, con énfasis en la región andina y amazónica. Se dirige a estudiosos de antropología, profesores universitarios, investigadores y académicos de las ciencias sociales y humanas.

La revista está compuesta por cuatro secciones: Artículos, Reseñas, Traducciones, y Testimonios para la historia de la antropología. Las temáticas dentro de estas secciones pueden ser muy variadas como se puede observar al revisar los números anteriormente publicados. Las mismas deben ser, sin embargo, relevantes a la antropología y disciplinas afines.

    La antropología amazónica de cara a la cuarta revolución industrial
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-08-09) Santos Granero, Fernando
    In this article, which reproduces the keynote talk presented in September 2019 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Amazonian Anthropology course at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, the author proposes that, from the decade of 2010, Amazonian indigenous peoples have been faced with a new wave of change, this time linked to what the economist Klaus Schwab (2016) has called the «fourth industrial revolution». Its objective is not, however, to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new industrial revolution, but to explore what are the new directions that Amazonian anthropology could take in the light of this new wave of change. To this end, the author explores six major lines of research, proposing for each of them a series of questions aimed at promoting or guiding future research.

    Bultos, selladores y gringos alados: percepciones indígenas de la violencia capitalista en la Amazonía peruana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010-03-26) Santos Granero, Fernando; Barclay, Federica
    In this article we examine a set of stories that have appeared amongthe Ashaninka, Awajun and Wampis of eastern Peru featuring adiversity of white supernatural beings that wander about their communitiesto steal their vital force or introduce harmful substancesinto their bodies, thus affecting their personal and social integrity.We argue that these stories constitute a response to the capitalistviolence experienced by these peoples as a result of hard-linegovernment policies promoting private investment, and the frenziedactivities of a large number of extractive companies. Such stories areinformed by indigenous notions about personhood and illness, butalso by native eco-cosmologies that view life as a scarce resource,the object of intense interspecific competition. If these ‘politicaleconomies of life’ do not turn into a Hobbesian war of all againstall it is due to an ethic of self-regulation that guarantees the balancebetween species despite the practice of generalized predation. Whatdistinguishes this from past junctures of predation by white peopleis that on this occasion native Amazonians feel that the government,in alliance with the extractive companies, has set out to exterminatethem once and for all.

    San Cristóbal en la Amazonía: Colonialismo, violencia y hechicería infantil entre los arahuacos de la selva central del Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2005-03-21) Santos Granero, Fernando
    The article analyzes the phenomenon of child sorcery, that is, of children accused of being sorcerers, among the Arawakan peoples of eastern Peru. It is suggested that this practice was the result, in colonial times, of the mimetic appropriation and structural transformation of the Christian legend of St Christopher and the Christ Child into the myth of a cannibalistic giant and his evil infant son. The notion that children could become potent witches would have been reinforced in postcolonial times by epidemics affecting mostly adults. If this is so, the belief in child sorcery would be one of those unforeseen and tragic products of the colonial encounter. In their eagerness to exorcise colonial violence Peruvian Arawaks turned against themselves, unleashing violence against their children’s bodies and through them to the body politic at large. This practice, thought to have been abandoned in the 1970s, has reappeared with renewed force in recent times as a result of the violence and social disruption resulting from confrontations with insurgent groups and the Peruvian Army.
