Resumen
Frente a las muchas pérdidas humanas que trae consigo la emergencia sanitaria causada por la COVID-19 y el abandono estatal, un grupo de jóvenes shipibos y mestizos de Yarinacocha - Pucallpa, formaron un colectivo voluntario denominado Comando Matico; para enfrentar dicha emergencia a base de medicina ancestral shipiba. Estos jóvenes deciden actuar a pesar de las restricciones estatales, motivados por un carácter solidario que parece ser de raíz antigua entre los shipibos. El presente artículo, explora la construcción identitaria del grupo; que realiza una serie de prácticas de convocatoria para obtener el apoyo de la comunidad virtual a su labor voluntaria y de demanda ciudadana al Estado, entremezcladas y sostenidas en formas de auto representaciones particulares en el espacio virtual de Facebook. Esta construcción con fines prácticos en la virtualidad (orientada, como veníamos mencionando, a la autogestión indígena) está íntimamente vinculada al proceso de construcción identitaria offline. El contexto pandémico, es propicio para una renovación de la puesta en práctica de los conocimientos ancestrales shipibos; así como, para los jóvenes voluntarios que retoman la búsqueda del reconocimiento de su herencia ancestral, alimentando el mencionado proceso de construcción identitaria al mismo tiempo que fortalece la búsqueda de autonomía indígena –al menos en lo que respecta al ámbito de la salud.
With the many human losses brought about by the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 and state abandonment, a group of young Shipibo from Yarinacocha - Pucallpa formed a voluntary group called Comando Matico, to face this emergency based on ancestral Shipibo medicine. These young ones decide to act despite state restrictions, motivated by what seems to be an ancient-rooted solidarity among the Shipibo. This article explores the identity construction of the group, which performs a series of convening practices to obtain the support of the virtual community for its voluntary work and citizen demand from the State, intermixed and sustained in particular forms of self-representations in Facebook´s virtual space. This construction for practical purposes in virtuality (oriented, as we have been mentioning, to indigenous self-management) is intimately linked to the process of offline identity construction. The pandemic context, is conducive to a renewal of the implementation of ancestral shipibo knowledge; as well as, for the young volunteers that resume the search for recognition of their ancestral heritage, nurturing the referred process of identity construction at the same time that it strengthens the search for indigenous autonomy –at least with regard to the field of health.
