El tema de “cambiapieles” en la tradición oral aymara: Nexos entre Literatura y antropología en los Andes
Este ensayo explora los nexos literarios y antropológicos de la tradición oral en los Andes sur centrales, específicamente en lo referido a los cuentos a las bestias silvestres de un ayllu, en los cuales humanos y animales intercambian perspectivas. Primero trazo una historia breve de este fenómeno, comenzando con el arte de Chavín de Huántar, en que formas animales en transformación presentan evidencia temprana de tales intercambios de perspecti…

Making textiles into persons: Gestural sequences and relationality in communities of weaving practice of the South Central Andes
The complex social and technical dimensions of weaving in contemporary Andean communities of practice are examined to suggest how these might have evolved so that populations could coordinate and make sense of their daily tasks in an emerging biocultural space. Rejecting former constructivist epistemological biases in operational studies of working practice, the article explores an alternative approach where technical practice is given meaning th…
The intrusive k'isa: Bolivian struggles over colour patterns and their social implications
This essay explores the relationships between technical practices, philosophical ideas and cultures, from the perspective of ideas about colour use in Andean textiles. It proposes that Andean theories of colour, as in Europe, are closely bound to developments in the production of colour. This implies that culturally held colour theories change with the movement of ideas across geographical and political frontiers, as part of the cultural reflecti…
A Comparison of War Iconography in the Archaeological Textiles of Paracas-Topará (in Southern Peru) and in the Weavings of Ayllu Qaqachaka (Bolivia) Today
Drawing on some observations by Anne Paul concerning the iconography of textile borders in cloth from archaeological sites in Paracas-Topará (southern Peru), and her suggestion that these acted as "markers of the sacred," we examine some ethnographic contexts in highland Bolivia that also concern borders: the final moment of the wayñu dance each year, and the finishing of textile and field borders. In each case, we propose that the object is to c…

The Metamorphosis of Heads: Textual Struggles, Education, and Land in the Andes
"Since the days of the Spanish Conquest, the indigenous populations of Andean Bolivia have struggled to preserve their textile-based writings. This struggle continues today, both in schools and within the larger culture. The Metamorphosis of Heads explores the history and cultural significance of Andean textile writings, weavings and kipus (knotted cords), and their extreme contrasts in form and production from European alphabet-based texts. Deni…

Strands of indigenism in the Bolivian Andes: Competing Juridical Claims for the Ownership and Management of Indigenous Heritage Sites in an Emerging Context of Legal Pluralism
The diverse linguistic, cultural and ethnic identities within Bolivia have given rise to different strands of indigenism and a wide variety of groups who claim indigenous status and rights. These groups assert their identities in different ways (through subsistence methods, clothing and textiles, festivals and music, and documentary evidence). Indigenous groups currently use both long-standing institutions within their communities and state jurid…
