Ítem Texto completo enlazado Medicina ancestral de las mujeres diaguita en el norte chico chileno(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Rodríguez Venegas, Viviana; Duarte Hidalgo, CoryQualitative research that investigates the knowledge and cultural practices of the diaguita women of the Chilean northern Chico and their relationship with ancestral medicine. The diaguita have been made invisible as protagonists of the healing processes, in an andro-centered and subalternizing treatment, which contrasts with the abundant evidence on the importance of women in the survival of ancestral medicine. The methodology was based on a feminist ethnography carried out in the regions of Atacama and Coquimbo (Chile), between 2021 and 2023, with traditional diaguita authorities. The results show the characteristics, elements and strategies used in the healing processes developed by diaguita women, also highlighting the importance of medicinal plants. It is concluded that the diaguita are carriers and transmitters of ancestral knowledge and traditional practices in a matrilineal and intergenerational manner, establishing ancestral medicine as a form of decolonizing cultural resistance.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Embarazo y parto en contexto urbano(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Cárdenas, Clara MatildeThe article focuses on the trajectories of care and attention during Pregnancy, Childbirth and Post-Partum that the Shipibo-konibo women of the self-proclaimed Shipibo Community of Cashahuacra go through. This community was formed almost fifteen years ago when a group of families from this amazonian indigenous people from Ucayali settled in the Cashahuacra ravine (Santa Eulalia District, Huarochirí province). More than detailing the practices and knowledge of these trajectories, I emphasize how this social space under construction, which is this indigenous community located in a marginal urban area, characterized by poverty and constant mobility, leaves its mark on the formation of these trajectories in which the knowledge and practices of the Shipibo culture are current but without rejecting those coming from institutional medicine against which there is a critical and pragmatic view in accordance with what it means for a shipibo-konibo woman to be a mother in the city.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Los «chamos» en cana(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Pérez Guadalupe, José Luis; Nuñovero Cisneros, LucíaFollowing a chronic context of political crisis and violence (Antillano & Ávila, 2017; Antillano, 2023; Zubillaga & Llorens, 2023), Venezuela migration crisis of last years impacted on receptors countries such as Colombia and Perú (R4V, 2023). In particular, an exponential increase of foreign inmates in Peruvian prisons has triggered a renewed criminological discussion about migration and crime (Park et al., 1967; Brion, 1997). This article tackles an understudied aspect of this highly complex migration process: Venezuelans citizens facing pre-trial detention (74,5 %) or conviction sentences (25,5 %) in Peruvian prisons (INPE, 2024). Using a mixed methods approach we gathered statistics and conducted interviews of inmates and penitentiary agents to describe this new ‘coexistence’ in prisons. Furthermore, we discussed Venezuelan inmates’ adaptation vis á vis Peruvian prison culture and whether criminal groups could expand or transplant their activities (Varese, 2011; Garzón & Olson, 2013) to receptors country such as Panamá, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Bolivia and Chile. Thus, we argue that cultural importation dynamics take place at Peruvian prisons and, moreover, conflict emerged between two prison cultures and convict codes (one of them involving an inmate self-government background and the other familiarized with dialogued ‘prison governance’ schemes); these two different visions of ‘what life in prison should be’ struggle to impose their own ways to recreate conviviality and survival.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Después del manicomio(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Villa-Palomino, Julio; Shimabukuro Higa, Alexandra Hiromi; Cornejo Rossello, Guillermo PercyThis article explores Peru’s transition towards community mental health from 1980 to 2022. Using an approach from medical anthropology and related social sciences, we argue that the community mental health reform in Peru has been influenced and shaped by multiple sociohistorical and political processes such as the period of internal armed conflict, economic crises, and the adoption of neoliberal policies. This article is based on an analysis of the national guidelines and reports related to mental health, participant observation in a Community Mental Health Center and with residents of a district of Lima, and interviews with citizens, health providers, and mental health activists. The analysis of the national mental health guidelines shows how sociohistorical processes influence mental health policies. The ethnographic work complicates citizens’ varying perceptions of the community mental health model and the process of psychiatric deinstitutionalization. Now that mental health care takes place in the community, our ethnographic analysis points to changes in different notions of madness, care, and mental health and illness. The mental health reform also generates opportunities, such as mental health activism and the potential inclusion of community actors, as well as the inclusion of people with mental health problems in the elaboration of their diagnoses and treatments.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Humor negro en el contexto de la muerte encefálica(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Baranowski, Carolina Andrea; Martínez, BárbaraIn this article, we propose to analyze how healthcare personnel involved in organ and tissue procurement activities use black humor during their daily work. The objective here is twofold: on the one hand, following previous studies, we are interested in showing the role of black humor as a way of dealing with death. On the other hand, we suggest that, in a parallel and complementary way, in this context black humor exposes a performative sense as a form of agency that attempts to modify an adverse reality. This work combines the methodological tools provided by ethnography and conducting open, multi-session interviews. The events revealed during the fieldwork and interviews that associate humor and brain death show the uses, limits and ways in which black humor operates in daily healthcare work of physical and emotional complexity.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Interrumpir la interculturalidad(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Vich, VíctorThis article reviews the debate around the category of interculturality to highlight its theoretical achievements and its current relevance in public policy. However, it also attempts to show its limits, contradictions and aporias. Beyond asking what interculturality refers to, it reviews how it is used and what effects it has in the spaces where it is implemented. The ideas arise from a permanent observation of different projects, although this is not ethnographic research. In this case, it has been of interest to place the theoretical discussion in the foreground.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Prácticas de autoatención warao para enfrentar la pandemia de COVID-19 en Manaus (Amazonas, Brasil)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Rosa, Marlise; Nogueira, Dassuem; Moutinho, PedroThis article put together information about the formation of the warao self-care practices, exposing the centrality of shamanism in the processes of health and illness. The reflection is built from the context of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic in indigenous shelters in Manaus (Amazonas), between March and December of 2020. These actions not only systematically disregarded shamanism and native theories, but also produced strong control over the presence of these indigenous people in the city. Through a critical analysis of the situation in the Amazonian capital, it reflects on the need for adaptation in health care for the Warao in Brazil and, by extension, for other indigenous people, especially those residing in urban contexts. The data presented were obtained through fieldwork with an ethnographic perspective, in addition to documentary and bibliographical research.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Interrelación e interdependencia en un territorio tradicional(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Narváez-Collaguazo, Roberto EstebanThe Waorani, people of recent contact, and the family groups in isolation Tagaeiri Taromenane coexist in a particular territory, Yasuní, where the presence of external actors, and the extractive activities, generate conditions of pressure, activating conflicts. The most vulnerable peoples are those who they become victims, as happened in 2003, 2006 and 2013, with massacres that put the peoples in isolation the verge of disappearance. The article is an ethnographic research, for understanding the Waorani culture and of the family groups in isolation, identifying intergroup and intragroup relations, and the elements linked to conflict, which lead to establish the persistence of an ethos warrior and the persistence of a social order in relationships within the traditional territory of these societies.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Agentes de su propio juego(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Anderson Roos, JeaninePlay has been underrepresented in studies of Andean communities, together with the children who are its protagonists. This article, part of a larger ethnographic study, reviews and analyzes manifestations of play in rural localities of the province of Yauyos. It aims to interpret the role of play and reevaluate its importance. With the support of numerous descriptions of places of play, toys, the actors, their motivations and relations, it examines the presence of a “rhetoric of progress” and a “rhetoric of power” in Yauyos children’s play. Play constitutes a dominion where the agency of boys, girls, and adolescents emerges with special clarity. The result is the structuring of a child’s society that incorporates alliances and cooperation as well as conflicts and exclusions.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Expropiación territorial, pandemia y resistencia(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-18) Possas, Hiran de Moura; Tomchinsky, BernardoIn the COVID-19 pandemic, indigenous peoples in the southeast of Pará faced, among many emergencies, the worsening of territorial violations and precarious health care and education, without depriving them of resilience to frontier capitalism in the region. The information obtained through interviews with indigenous leaders, consultation of official data and those published by the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), as well as field notes on the performance of the Mutual Support Network to Indigenous Peoples of Southeastern Brazil Pará, highlights the strategic use of the territory for isolation and resurgence of cultural practices, and the formulation of policies to resist the systemic crises aggravated by the fascist national government of the period.
