Affectual Objects: Hybrid Notions of Materiality in the Western Lived World
This paper examines the corporeal and affectual dimensions of the relation between people and objects in Western societies as seen through the lens of notions of “ensoulment” held by the Yanesha of Western Amazonia. Ethnographic evidence suggests that processes of ensoulment play a crucial role in the relation between people and objects, bodies, and artifacts in Indigenous Amazonia. Expressed in corporeal terms as a transfer/absorption of vitalit…
Juan Santos Atahuallpa: Herrero, Inca rebelde y pesadilla de la Corona española
El presente artículo tiene por objetivo presentar y discutir dos documentos tardíos sobre la sublevación de Juan Santos Atahuallpa: la Carta No. 999 de Manuel de Amat y Junyent, Virrey del Perú, a Julián de Arriaga, Secretario de Marina e Indias; Lima, 21 de Julio de 1774 y la Carta No. 1081 de Manuel de Amat y Junyent, Virrey del Perú, a Julián de Arriaga, Secretario de Marina e Indias; Lima, 24 de enero de 1775. Dichos documentos inéditos, pert…
Arriba y abajo: El persistente poder de los imaginarios estatales y tribales en la configuración de los Andes y la Amazonía
Este artículo examina la divisoria entre Andes y Amazonía como el producto de relaciones históricas de larga duración. Se sostiene que esta escisión no es un fenómeno reciente vinculado a la construcción de los estados-nación sudamericanos, sino que precede a la conquista española de América por varios milenios. Tiene poco que ver con la ecología y mucho con el poder y las filosofías políticas. Es el resultado del choque entre dos ideales opuesto…
La antropología amazónica de cara a la cuarta revolución industrial
En este artículo, que reproduce la ponencia magistral presentada en setiembre de 2019 con motivo de los cincuenta años del curso de Antropología Amazónica en la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Pontifica Universidad Católica del Perú, el autor propone que, a partir de la década de 2010, los pueblos indígenas amazónicos se han visto enfrentados a una nueva ola de cambio, esta vez, vinculada a lo que el economista Klaus Schwab (2016) ha denomina…

A matriz Aruaque: Etos, língua e história na América do Sul nativa
A relação entre língua e cultura tem sido tema de muita especulação e controvérsia no âmbito da filosofia e das ciências sociais ocidentais. Os autores alternaram entre apoiar a noção de 'família linguística' e a de 'área cultural'. Neste artigo, avalio o significado dessas noções por meio da análise da "unidade Aruaque", que foi pressuposta por muitos anos, mas recebeu pouca atenção por parte dos especialistas, e comparo a organização sociocultu…
The Power of Love: The Moral Use of Knowledge Amongst the Amuesha of Central Peru
In The Power of Love, Fernando Santos-Granero offers a rich ethnography of the Amuesha, an indigenous group from the Peruvian Amazon. He explores their intricate conceptual system, focusing on the interplay between knowledge, morality, and power. Santos-Granero argues that the Amuesha view knowledge not as a neutral tool but as a force imbued with moral weight. Their pursuit of 'powerful knowledge' is driven by a desire to enhance their capacity …
Enigma De La Endoguerra Asháninca: Accidente Histórico O Mandato Cultural
En este artículo me propongo poner a prueba -mediante un análisis detallado de las fuentes históricas sobre los pueblos del conjunto asháninca -conocidos inicialmente como Antis, Andes, Chunchos o Campas- y sus vecinos de la Selva Central- las conclusiones de Renard-Casevitz sobre los pueblos del conjunto ashaninka para los cuales la guerra y el enemigo son exteriores y heterogéneos y que, en contraste con las sociedades de mitades y endoguerrera…
Amerindian political economies of life
This article examines the political economies of life among Amazonian and other Amerindian peoples. It argues that these economies are not simply about the production and distribution of material goods, but also about the production and reproduction of life itself. Amerindian peoples see life as a process of continuous creation and transformation, and their political economies are designed to ensure the flourishing of life in all its forms. The a…

Upper Perené Arawak Narratives of History, Landscape, and Ritual
Patrimonialization, Defilement & The Zombification Of Cultural Heritage
In a world in which patrimonialization efforts have become global and omnipresent, the Yanesha of Peruvian Amazonia have remained strangely unaffected by this powerful trend. Through an analysis of the historical trajectories of three ancient landmarks, this paper aims at understanding why Yanesha people have opted to relegate to oblivion certain elements of their cultural heritage, as well as why they have been so reticent in the face of past at…
Beinghood and people-making in native Amazonia: A constructional approach with a perspectival coda
This article examines Yanesha notions of beinghood and people-making practices from a constructional standpoint. By focusing on the composition of persons/bodies as a phenomenological process rather than on the nature of the processes by which persons/bodies are socially fabricated, it seeks to reveal the extent to which Yanesha conceptions of personhood differ from those in the Western tradition. Shaped by the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, this t…
Here No Poop: The Dangers and Prospects of Intersubjective Relations in Amerindian Political Economies of Life
Amerindian political economies revolve around life perceived as being the scarcest resource. All living beings compete among themselves to accumulate as much vitality as possible. Generalized predation is countered, however, by an ethic of self-regulation that ensures a certain balance between species. Through the analysis of personal anecdotes with the Yanesha of Central Peru, I propose that such precarious balance is based on ambiguous intersub…
The Virtuous Manioc and the Horny Barbasco: Sublime and Grotesque Modes of Transformation In the Origin Of Yanesha Plant Life
Like other native Amazonian peoples, the Yanesha of eastern Peru conceive of plants and trees as having been primordial human beings transformed into their present form at the end of mythic times. The events that led to their transformation can be described as being either “sublime” or “grotesque.” Cultivated plants that underwent a sublime mode of transformation include manioc, the Yanesha staple, as well as maize, beans, peanuts, and cotton. Th…
Hakani e a campanha contra o infanticídio indígena: Percepções contrastantes de humanidade e pessoa na Amazônia brasileira
O presente artigo examina o debate, desencadeado pela campanha da ONG ATINI-Voz pela Vida e travado tanto no ciberespaço quanto na mídia brasileira, a respeito do infanticídio na Amazônia. Argumenta que este debate foi levado adiante em termos ocidentais-o suposto isomorfismo entre as noções de "humanidade" e "pessoa"-e, como tal, contribui pouco para entender esta incomum prática indígena. Para evitar o duplo risco do "imperialismo cultural" e d…
Bundles, Stampers, and Flying Gringos: Native Perceptions of Capitalist Violence in Peruvian Amazonia
En este artículo examinamos una serie de historias que han aparecido entre los Awajún, Wampis y Ashaninka de la amazonía peruana, protagonizadas por una diversidad de seres sobrenaturales blancos que deambulan por sus comunidades para robarles su fuerza vital o introducir en sus cuerpos sustancias patógenas. Proponemos que estas historias constituyen una respuesta a la violencia capitalista que actualmente experimentan estos pueblos como resultad…

Vital Enemies: Slavery, Predation, and the Amerindian Political Economy of Life
Analyzing slavery and other forms of servitude in six non-state indigenous societies of tropical America at the time of European contact, Vital Enemies offers a fascinating new approach to the study of slavery based on the notion of "political economy of life." Fernando Santos-Granero draws on the earliest available historical sources to provide novel information on Amerindian regimes of servitude, sociologies of submission, and ideologies of cap…
The occult life of things: Native Amazonian theories of materiality and personhood
Native peoples of the Amazon view objects, especially human artifacts, as the first cosmic creations and the building blocks from which the natural world has been shaped. In these constructional cosmologies, spears became the stings of wasps, hammocks became spiderwebs, stools became the buttocks of human beings. A view so antithetical to Western thought offers a refreshing perspective on the place and role of objects in human social lifeone that…
Hybrid Bodyscapes: A Visual History of Yanesha Patterns of Cultural Change
This paper examines cultural change and hybridity through a visual history of the alterations in dress, ornamentation, and body treatment experienced by the Yanesha of Peruvian Amazonia in postcolonial times. Such transformations often appear to be fluctuations between tradition and modernity explained alternatively as instances of "acculturation" or as expressions of "invented traditions" and "postmodern identity politics." By focusing mainly on…
Almas sensuales: Modos incorpóreos de sentir y conocer en la Amazonía indígena
Los yanesha de la Amazonía peruana estarían de acuerdo con Aristóteles y Santo Tomás de Aquino en que el conocimiento sólo puede ser obtenido a través de la percepción sensorial. Sin embargo, estarían en desacuerdo sobre qué exactamente significa 'percepción sensorial'. En la tradición occidental los sentidos son considerados como el modo 'fisiológico" de percepción. Sólo podemos conocer, se dice, a través del cuerpo y sus sentidos: vista, oído, …
Of fear and friendship: Amazonian sociality beyond kinship and affinity
The article explores the nature of sociality and alterity in indigenous Amazonia. If native Amazonian sociality is all about predatory affinity or, alternatively, convivial consanguinity, why do native Amazonians constantly strive to establish social relationships with people with whom they are related neither as kin nor as affines? The comparative analysis of intertribal trading partnerships, shamanic networks, and mystical associations allows t…
Writing History into the Landscape: Space, Myth, and Ritual in Contemporary Amazonia
Like members of most nonliterate societies, the Yanesha preserve historical memory through narrative and performative practices such as myths, traditions, reminiscences, rituals, and body practices. Among the Yanesha, however, these coalesce into a major inscribing practice, that of "writing" history into the landscape. I contend that "topographic writing" constitutes a protowriting system based on "topograms"-individual elements of the landscape…

Sensual Vitalities: Noncorporeal Modes of Sensing and Knowing in Native Amazonia
Yanesha people of eastern Peru would agree with Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas that knowledge can only be achieved through sense perception. They would, however, disagree on what exactly “sense perception” means. In the Western tradition the senses are considered to be the “physiological” modes of perception. We can only know, it is asserted, through the body and its senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. In contrast, Yanesha people v…

Saint Christopher in the Amazon: Child Sorcery, Colonialism, and Violence among the Southern Arawak
The killing of alleged children sorcerers has been widely reported among the Arawak of eastern Peru. Accusations of child sorcery multiplied at junctures of increased outside pressures marked by violence, displacement, and epidemics. Mythical foundations for this belief are found in the legend of Saint Christopher and the Child Christ. Appropriated through mimetic image in colonial times, the tale of this "plague saint" was transformed into the m…

Vitalidades sensuais: Modos não corpóreos de sentir e conhecer na Amazônia indígena
Este artigo explora as "vitalidades sensuais" entre os Yanesha (Amuesha) da Amazônia peruana, argumentando que a experiência sensorial indígena transcende o corpo físico e envolve relações complexas com seres não humanos, como plantas e animais. Santos-Granero desafia a dicotomia ocidental entre corpo e mente, demonstrando como os Yanesha concebem a percepção e o conhecimento como processos intersubjetivos e multissensoriais. O autor analisa prát…
The moral and social aspects of equality amongst the Amuesha of Central Peru
Using Dumont's concepts of " encompassing " and " encompassed " ideology and analysing Amuesha (Peruvian Amazon region) cosmology, mythology, kinship and morality, the author demonstrates that the moral implications of ("symmetrical" and "asymmetrical") love, compassion and generosity, which is expressed in both the relations between people and between them and their divinities, keep political power in check and ensures the social equality

Las fronteras son creadas para ser transgredidas: Magia, historia y política de la antigua divisoria entre Andes y Amazonía en el Perú
La construcción de la Amazonía como categoría distinta, opuesta a los Andes, es el resultado de procesos vinculados con la expansión de formaciones estatales centradas en los Andes. El análisis de cinco textos cortos acerca de la región amazónica peruana escritos durante los períodos colonial y post-colonial por una diversidad de actores sociales revela una retórica omnipresente de alteridad cuyo contenido varía de acuerdo a los objetivos particu…

Templos y herrerías: Utopía y re-creación cultural en la Amazonía peruana, siglos XVIII-XIX
In 1742, after 33 years of missionary rule, the Amuesha and Campa of the central montaña of Peru, under the guidance of Juan Santos Atahuallpa, expelled the Spaniards from the region. In spite of several failed attempts to regain control of this area, the Amuesha and Campa were able to maintain their independence and develop their own utopian project for one hundred years (1742-1847). During this period they developed in an autonomous fashion a s…
Poder, ideología y rituales de producción en las sociedades indígenas amazónicas
Este artículo es un estudio comparativo que pretende demostrar que, en las configuraciones sociales shamánicas de la Amazonía, lo político no siempre está divorciado de lo económico. Sugiere que, en las sociedades en las cuales los shamanes son simultáneamente líderes políticos, su poder es de naturaleza económica. Se considera que sus conocimientos rituales son necesarios para los procesos reproductivos. Cuando esto no ocurre, el rol político es…

The dry and the wet: Astronomy, agriculture and ceremonial life in Western Amazonia
The existence of priests in the Amuesha' society mainly explained the richness of cosmology and astronomicas knowledge. Astronomical configurations are linked to others systems of reference (zoological, botanical, musical or agricultural...). Thus the Amuesha apprehend their cosmos as an integrated whole through associations beween different codes
