The Transformational Power of Stones in an Andean Pilgrimage = El Poder Transformador de Las Piedras en Una Peregrinación Andina
In the Andes, mountains, rocks, and stones (all conceptually related) are powerful entities that engage with human beings in different ways. Among other qualities, they take human shape, accomplish great deeds, heal, protect fields, or increase fertility. One aspect that has not been explored much is how stones can also work to reestablish a positive relationship between humans and superior forces. This article examines this capacity in the conte…
Exploring the Andean Sensory Model: Knowledge, Memory, and the Experience of Pilgrimage
The methodological and theoretical frameworks offered by the anthropology of the senses have much to offer in the study of ritual and religious experience, especially if combined with those used in ethnomusicology, dance, and performance studies.

The Musical Walk to Qoyllor Rit'i: The Senses and the Concept of Forgiveness in Cuzco, Peru

The central argument is devel…

Genuine But Marginal: Exploring and Reworking Social Contradictions Through Ritual Dance Performance
The article analyzes how ritual dance drama performances have become privileged sites for people in Cusco to explore and rework the ambiguities and paradoxes of their history and everyday lives. While focusing on the analysis of the Qollas dance drama and dance association in the town of San Jeronimo, the article studies the meanings of this dance in terms of both the regional and national contexts. The Qollas dance, one of the most popular and w…
