Resumen
El propósito de este artículo es explorar el pensamiento lógico de la comunidad Fortaleza Sacsayhuaman en Cusco Perú, que se manifiesta a través de la relación hombre – agua, en la práctica ancestral andina de criar agua o unu uyway, y cómo esta lógica ha sido usada para afrontar la sequía de sus manantiales. Se han empleado métodos etnográficos basados en la observación participante, bajo la propuesta de Inglod (2015) sobre una etnografía transformativa en la que no se acumula meros datos que luego serán representados, sino que se trabaja con un compromiso ontológico de agudizar nuestras facultades intelectuales y morales. El estudio reveló que en la crianza del agua, este elemento es una persona que ocupa un lugar jerárquicamente superior al del humano, con quien se establecen relaciones de intercambio y cuidado mutuo. Esta manera de percibir al agua es precisamente lo que permite que la comunidad, en la práctica, garantice su abastecimiento de agua y pueda lidiar con la sequía de sus manantes.
The purpose of this article is to explore the logical thinking of the community Fortaleza Sacsayhuaman in Cusco, Perú, which manifest itself through the relationship men- water in the Andean ancestral practice of raising water or unu uyway, as well as, how this practice has been used to face the drought of their springs. Ethnographic methods such as participant observation has been applied, based on Ingold’s (2015) proposal that stands for a transformative ethnography in which data is not merely accumulated to be then represented, but where the ethnographer is ontologically committed to sharpen his/her intellectual and moral faculties. The study revealed that in water nurturing, water becomes a person who is hierarchically superior to men and among the two exists a relationship based on interchange and mutual care. This way to perceive water, is in fact, what allows the community to guarantee its water source and to deal with the drought.
