Rural–Urban Change in Highland Peru
In recent decades, the mountains of Latin America have undergone massive rural-urban change. In Peru, this has led to strong growth of population and settlement on the spatially limited valley floors of the Quechua elevational zone, which is part of a sophisticated vertical land use system that includes the adjacent slopes (Suni elevational zone) and high plains (Puna elevational zone). Periurban villagers not only benefit from this rural-urban c…
La urbanización y la verticalidad de los vínculos rurales-urbanos en las montañas
Las montañas son vistas por lo general como el opuesto rural o incluso «silvestre» de los espacios urbanos. Pero, ¿se puede seguir justificando esta visión en tiempos de la «urbanización planetaria»? ¿Qué es realmente «silvestre», «rural» y «urbano», y en qué se diferencian estas categorías en términos estructurales y funcionales? ¿Existen características urbanas en las montañas? Partiendo de los conceptos de la urbanización planetaria y la verti…
Joint Endeavor Toward Sustainable Mountain Development
The sustainable development of mountain regions requires inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge. The Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research contributes to this global endeavor as part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and as a member of international scientific networks, together with local partners and stakeholders. As a joint effort of individual researchers covering multiple fields, this article highlights our views on mountains a…
More than Landscape
As a result of the global effort for sustainable management of natural resources, the spatial scale, holistic concept, and/or integrative approach of “landscape” is increasingly used in collaborative environmental planning and governance. However, it is often overseen that “landscape” is just one possible way to see and interpret the human environment—and that it is not understood cross-culturally. What if the unintended misuse of the landscape c…

Cusco
Nestling in the South American Andes, the Peruvian city of Cusco is one of the most emblematic metropolises of the continent. An impressive example of pre-Columbian urbanism, the capital of the former Inca empire developed into one of the most representative cities of the Spanish colonial realm—today a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and, since the 1920s, into the “tourist capital” of Peru. This article traces the development of the mountain city of C…
Investigación de montaña sobre y para la región andina
To ensure sustainable endogenous development of the Andean region, research on and for the dominant mountain range of South Americais of crucial importance. As of 2021, the Revista de Investigaciones Altoandinas - Journal of High Andean Research adopts a reformededitorial policy and presents a relaunch of its publishing portal, with the aim to foster sustainable development in and for the Andeanregion
Montología
Mountain regions face decisive challenges, not only for their sustainable development but also fortheir very reproduction. These challenges have to do with the increasingly serious impact of climate and environmental change, the impact of socioeconomic and cultural globalization on mountain populations and the ecosystems they inhabit, and the effects of urbanization on mountain agriculture. Based on these premises, this article introduces the not…
The urban and the rural in Puno, highland Peru
This article describes and analyzes important aspects of the relationship between the urban and the rural in the south of the Peruvian department of Puno. The author argues that the assumed arbitrariness of the border between the countryside and the city, between the urban and the rural, is extremely widespread and that Andean peasant communities are undergoing more and more integrating processes at different levels which, rather than determining…
De fantasma a vecino. El Kharisiri y la noción de humanidad en Los Andes aymara peruanos
En el presente artículo sugiero la posibilidad de explorar la evolución de la noción de humanidad a través del estudio —diacrónico y sincrónico— de las representaciones del kharisiri. Por lo general, dicha figura saca la grasa de sus víctimas, haciéndolas enfermar y conduciéndolas —en la abrumadora mayoría de los casos— a una muerte casi cierta. Mediante un análisis de etnografías históricas y contemporáneas sobre la región andina, además de dato…
Identidad, alteridad y el Día de los Muertos en el Altiplano aymara de Puno, Perú
El propósito del presente artículo es discutir, a partir de una investigación etnográfica, el papel del Día de los Muertos en el altiplano aymara peruano, conectándolo con la identidad vivida por los y las actrices sociales involucrados. La investigación etnográfica tuvo lugar en la comunidad de San Miguel de Alpaccollo (en ese entonces, 2013 y 2014. parcialidad), en el distrito de Ilave, provincia de El Collao, departamento de Puno. En el curso …
You will be eternal as time and you will bloom every Spring
The following article analyses the football game as an identity phenomenon. Football has ceased to be simply a sport to become something extremely complex and articulated, from a politic, economic, social, and cultural point of view. Its diffusion on a global scale has produced and produces identity forms of affirmation and differentiation. These forms concern the name of the team, the geographical and social-economic position of the club and its…
