Living dead ancestors
Ese Eja see white-lipped peccaries (ño’), as their temporarily transformed emanokuana, deceased relatives. Through inter-relationships with the peccaries, we witness how Amazonians hold relational perspectives of the world that resonate with contemporary critical posthumanist philosophy and move away from the social boundaries of androcentrism in the past, present and future

The Politics of Ese Eja Indigenous Urbanite Images in Distinct Nation States
This chapter will focus on the socio-political stakes entailed in forms of representation, outreach and development that purposely trap indigenous Lowland South American peoples in Bolivia and Peru into “urban” images that are by default viewed as being “anti-traditional” and how such images may vary across borders due to historical and contemporary regional and national politics and differences. I argue that images that portray indigenous people…
The Digital Divide and Futurist Imaginings of Zelle‐ous Resistors
The “digital divide” is widely acknowledged as exacerbating inequality by leaving some people on one side or the other of a knowledge divide without access to appropriate tools for the future and all the opportunities that digital technology promises. Attempts to understand this gap tend to focus on issues of trust, levels of financial education, and digital skills, mainly seeking to understand why some individuals and groups—who are mostly assum…
Gendered Geographies of Care
This article examines how women as primary gatekeepers for well being became involved as health promoters in a local indigenous health care project in the Amazonian region of Madre de Dios, Peru. Here, I provide a case study of the processes and transitions that the project underwent from its inception to its eventual inclusion of indigenous women health promoters into its programs among indigenous communities from the mid 1980’s through the earl…
Starting-Up During Covid-19
The global impact of COVID-19 has rippled into all areas of social, economic, political and business lives no matter what one’s line of work or livelihood. Considerable focus has been directed at understanding some of the challenges presented by the current pandemic on primary research, including the negative impacts of a technology-dependent or technology-mediated field site, the lack of material shared spaces during covid-19 times, interrupted …
Reflections on crafting an ayahuasca community guide for the awareness of sexual abuse
This article reflects upon the conception and development of a set of guidelines for the awareness of sexual abuse in ayahuasca settings, an assortment of scenarios that take place in local and global settings entailing the use of a psychedelic brew known for producing visionary and purgative effects composed of Amazonian Banisteriopsis caapi (ayahuasca vine) commonly combined with the leaves of Psychotria viridis (chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrer…
Turning a blind eye
This article examines the ways in which 'Chinese walls' - that is, information barriers within financial institutions - are constituted and subverted by acts of trespass within large investment banking firms in New York. While Chinese walls positively serve to prevent corruption and fraud, they simultaneously attract legal, semi-legal and illegal forms of trespassing. My analysis shows that some trespassing is based on non-verbalized and embodied…
Traversing the margins of corruption amidst informal economies in Amazonia
This article focuses on local idioms of extra-legal economic activity among indigenous Amazonians in eastern Peru, and its overall argument is that these idioms are part of a broader context in which indigenous people are compelled by a variety of factors to act in a seemingly corrupt manner. I further suggest that within such a context these idioms are not confined to the informal economy but are also used to refer to activities that fall within…
The Ethnography of versus for Question in an Anthropology of/for Business
This special-themed edition of the Journal of Business Anthropology critically examines the borders and crossovers between an anthropology of business (which I term 'non-consultant anthropology') and anthropologies for business ('consultant anthropology'). In the pages that follow authors consider the unique and valuable contributions of these varied approaches and their impacts on our understanding of business organizations and industries. In th…
Partible Paternity, the Secondary Sex Ratio, and a Possible Trivers-Willard Effect
Partible paternity, the belief that a child can have more than one biological father, is widespread in lowland South America. An analysis of demographic data sets from four lowland tribes (Aché, Barí, Ese Eja, and Surui) reveals a systematic variation in the sex ratios of live births with respect to the number of fathers to whom the births are attributed. Births attributed to only one father show a sex ratio that is unexceptional for South Americ…
Traversing and translating high finance
Symposium/workshop held on 25 April 2015 at the Royal Anthropological Institute. This workshop, held at the Royal Anthropological Institute, went beyond charting the frontiers of corporate investments by forming bridges between disparate terrains that might otherwise seem unconnected, and proposing new methodologies for exploring and communicating such links. Anthropologists, artists, accountants, hacktivists, economists, journalists, former brok…
Children's Instrumentality and Agency in Amazonia
Several scholars (Behar 1996, Fabian 1996, Marcus 1999, Marcus and Fischer 1986, Myerhoff 1978, Rosaldo 1989) demonstrate how intimacy brings to the forefront questions of subjective bias, personal expectations and emotions, and unequal power relations inherent in the anthropological fieldwork encounter – precisely the central targets in many of the critiques of the qualitative research methods that we champion. Perhaps it is for this reason that…
Circulating between Rural and Urban Communities
El presente articulo argumenta que los procesos de urbanización indígena en la Amazonía indígena difieren de otros procesos migratorios en la región. La migración indígena raramente implica una ausencia o dislocación total o permanente fuera de la comunidad de origen hacia la ciudad. La migración en estos contextos implica un posicionamiento flexible del individuo como posible agente urbano, lo cual a su vez permite la creación de una serie de ví…

Shajaó-Histories of an Invented Savage
Through multiple stories about Shajaó, an untold history of the Peruvian Amazon unfolds. This article, based on extensive archival research and fieldwork, brings together multivocal accounts about an Ese Eja man who allegedly killed a Catholic priest in 1932 and who, despite the large-scale expeditions sent out to capture him, was not apprehended until 1942. Through ongoing tales of Shajaó, the intersubjective ways in which memory is shaped and e…
Ethics and the "rough ground" of the everyday
Beyond the stories of collapse, devastation, and moral uncertainty in Iraq's recent history there are tales of connections, relations, and the entanglements of lives which are named in forms such as friendship and family, and modes of comporting to others such as care, attention, and even love, which have yet to become part of how one thinks and writes about life after the invasion. In this article the authors draw attention to a picture of the l…
Steven Lee Rubinstein (1962 - 2012)
The sad news of Dr. Steve Lee Rubenstein's sudden and unexpected death at the age of 49 took us all by surprise.In fact, as I write this, months after Steve's passing, I am still grappling with the notion that he is gone from this world, as we know it.In some ways, Steve was only at the beginning of his career with many large ideas still unleashed and yet he had already achieved more than most do in one lifetime.As friends and colleagues of Steve…
"Sueños de nombre" de los Sonenekuiñaji
En una comunidad ese eja en la Amazonia Peruana, las personas sueñan los nombres de sus hijos. Además del obvio interés de su análisis neo-Freudiano, los "sueños de nombre" de los sonenekuiñaji muestran la superposición en el tiempo y el espacio de distintas realidades. De acuerdo a esto, un adecuado análisis de los sueños requiere la consideración de nociones específicas sobre la agencia (agency), multiplicidad y transformación
That which I dream is true
In an Ese Eja community in the Peruvian Amazon, people dream the names of their children. Apart from neo-Freudian perspective, naming dreams reflect, more importantly, multiple overlapping realities of time and space. As such, notions of agency, multiplicity, and transformation need to be examined for a proper analysis of dreaming. Drawing on multinatural perspectivism, the author examines eshawa, an Ese Eja concept of personhood that connects th…
Variabilidad y cambio en los nombres personales en una sociedad indígena amazónica
Este artículo presenta una discusión general sobre las características de los nombres personales entre los Ese Eja. A través de un examen del significado de los sueños describo el proceso mediante el cual los Ese Eja de una comunidad del río Heath, Madre de Dios, Perú, reciben sus nombres personales en el contexto dinámico de los conceptos de género, reproducción, cosmología y enfermedad. Sugiero que los nombres presentan mensajes multidirecciona…
