Entre la miel y la misión: Desarrollo, cosmologías indígenas y fe práctica entre los awajún y wampis
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15) Di Fonzo, Valerio
This ethnographic article explores how a beekeeping project promoted by the Jesuit NGO SAIPE in Awajún and Wampis communities of the Peruvian Amazon becomes a site of negotiation between indigenous cosmologies, kinship structures, sustainability expectations, and institutional logics of development and Jesuit missionary practice. Through a situated narrative across the villages of Ideal and Soledad, the article examines daily tensions involving gender, labor, markets, and collective organization. Far from being a mere productive initiative, beekeeping emerges as a moral and political field where the Jesuit work tradition, local aspirations, and the dilemmas of translating communal systems into donor-friendly formats intersect. The article suggests understanding such projects not as failures or successes, but as unstable and creative forms of world-making.

Obediencia silenciosa y negociación pragmática: Relaciones asimétricas entre prelados y mujeres consagradas en el Perú contemporáneo
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15) Lecaros, Véronique; Piccone Camere, Carlos
This article examines the relationship between the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Tarbes and diocesan bishops in three Peruvian ecclesiastical jurisdictions. Through the cases of Piura, an unnamed diocese, and Chiclayo, the study analyzes dynamics of silent subordination and pragmatic negotiation, highlighting how women’s religious life exercises forms of empowerment within institutional tensions. Drawing from a perspective of religious anthropology, it addresses issues such as clericalism, legal vulnerability, ecclesial obedience, and the conditions for shared pastoral responsibility. These cases expose both the structural limitations faced by female religious communities and their capacity for resilience and ministerial adaptation amid synodal reforms and evolving episcopal leadership. Based on these experiences, the article proposes analytical tools to rethink the relationship between authority, charism, and women’s agency in the contemporary Catholic Church.

Integraciones colectivas de cristianismo y diversidad sexual y de género: Etnografía de las «comunidades arcoíris» en España
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15) Barrera-Blanco, José
This article uses ethnography to explore some of the ways in which religion and sexual diversity intersect in contemporary society. It studies the case of the so-called “rainbow communities” in Spain: groups of Christian lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and trans individuals (LGBT+) who organize themselves to live these identities complementarily against the frequent oppositional understandings. The research analyzes data collected during continuous fieldwork with these communities from 2019 to 2023, and through a systematic review of archives. First, it traces the historical path of these communities, situating their development within broader processes of religious transformation, activist progress, and the social and legal recognition of diversity. Second, it assesses how they impact on the Christian field by offering a pastoral care model based on pluralism that addresses the population’s vital and spiritual needs unmet by mainstream religious institutions. Finally, it argues how their sociability rooted in Christian and LGBT+ activist values produces a context conducive to practising and developing identity in an integrated way.

Liturgias de la empatía: Formación de espiritualidades en la lucha contra la violencia de género
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15) Martínez-Moreno, Marco Julián
This article analyzes training workshops against gender-based violence in Brazil and Mexico as spaces that produce an inner-worldly secular spirituality, examining their rituals, processes of moral conversion, and the elaboration of a specific emotional interiority. The research is based on an ethnography that accompanied facilitators, activists, and professionals from the psychosocial and legal fields, using participant observation and discourse analysis. The findings reveal that these workshops function as secular rituals in which empathy is sacralized as a redeeming emotion, testimony enables the transformation from “victims” into “survivors,” and a moral dualism is established between “human agency” (good) and “oppressive structures” (evil). Furthermore, a structural symmetry is identified between the conversion logic of these spaces and the global expansion of Pentecostal and charismatic Christianities. The text concludes that the global expansion of human rights follows a religious logic of conversion, generating its own antagonist in a dialectical agonism with conservative actors, which redefines contemporary political-religious conflicts.

Brujería capitalista y turistas pishtaco: Tensiones ocultas en torno al turismo de ayahuasca entre los shipibo de San Francisco (Amazonia peruana)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-15) Slaghenauffi, Doriane Sabine
The emergence of “shamanic tourism” in some Shipibo-Konibo villages and urban areas has led to a recrudescence of vernacular witchcraft practices, now integrated into the new sociological context of the commercialization of local vegetalist shamanism. This has brought about sorcery attacks both on rival shamans and on tourists seeking a shamanic and hallucinogenic experience, some of whom in turn become the target of sorcery rumors. These occult practices and interpretations can be seen, on the one hand, as forms of resilience adopted by Shipibo shamans in order to cope with and benefit from the current context of transition to capitalism, which is increasingly present within the communities, and, on the other hand, as manifestations of frustration and anxiety about the recuperation of local shamanism by global culture, symptomatic of the traditionally ambiguous links between gringos and Native Amazonians.
