Dance in the Cemetery
Next to Nothing
I applaud Mark Thurner's and Caceres: Rereading Representations of Peru's Late Nineteenth-Century 'National Problem,' as well as his recent book, which all serious Andeanists and Peruvianists will now need to consult.1 Not only do I accept his corrections of many of the errors of commission and omission in my work, but I have learned much from him that will inform any future work I do on related topics.2 I admire both his perseverance in locating…

Notes for a History of Peruvian Social Anthropology, 1940-80 [and Comments and Reply]
This article simply attempts to sketch a series of highlights related to the development of social anthropology in Peru in its professional phase, that is, the period since the 1940s, when the teaching and practice of social anthropology became institutionalized in Peruvian universities. It is necessarily a descriptive attempt, presenting the main institutions or specific research or applied projects that became the frame of reference for the for…
Myth and Ideology in a Nineteenth Century Peruvian Peasant Uprising
The Atusparia Uprising of 1885, in Peru's Ancash Department, was an anti-fiscal response to increased taxation by a peasantry in a deteriorating economic situation. The historical record of this event has been made by non-peasant journalists, novelists, and historians; it represents an elite view of oppressed rural toilers without ideas of their own, who are anything but historical agents. In reponse to this view, an attempt is here made to searc…
Ethnology
Technological Change and the Social Organization of Agricultural Production [and Comments and Reply]
Each for different reasons, depending on the dominant theories of their disciplines, anthropologists, engineers, and economists have not paid sufficient coordinated attention to the technical knowledge found in local populations, different from the technology and the processes of social change that have been institutionalized by the capitalist system of production although not necessarily independent of them. In this paper we reconsider some conc…

The Supranational Organization of Production
Fresh theoretical perspectives are required for understanding the rapid expansion of international economic activity and especially the organization of production on a world scale through institutions of multinational enterprise. Ananthropological evolutionary approach which sees these developments as part of the generation of a new system at a supranational level of sociocultural integration seems appropiate to the task. The creation of such a n…
Structural and Eclectic Revisions of Marxist Strategy
Many anthropologists are no longer hesitant to identify themselves as Marxists, but along with this common identification there has developed a raging dispute as to what a Marxist anthropology is all about. Recent critiques of cultural materialism, the avowedly Marxist strategy developed by Marvin Harris, have attacked it for being a "vulgar" or "mechanical" interpretation of Marx. Two of these critiques, those of Jonathan Friedman and H. Dieter …

Measuring Peasant Attitudes to Modernization
A photographic test for attitude measurement (PHOTAM) based on the projective principle provides an effective means for evaluating objectively as well as subjectively attitude profiles of modernizing peasants as demonstrated in a study of agricultural change in Campeche, Mexico. PHOTAM involves ten steps: (1) reconnaissance to provide an empathetic overview of the peasant group, (2) a priori selection of attitudes postulated for resolving the res…

Popular Medical Beliefs and Attitude Toward Mental Illness in Peru
In a survey of attitudes of mental hospital personnel in Lima, Peru by Stein and Oetting, professional psychiatric personnel tended to have humanistic attitudes, similar to those of their North American and British counterparts. The hospital attendants or aides seemed to derive their attitude structure more directly from their cultural milieu, expressing custodial attitudes that tended to be congruent with Peruvian value systems. The research was…

The Case of the Hungry Calves
Hualcan is a Quechua-speaking Andean Highland Indian village in the District of Carhuaz, Department of Ancash, Peru. The settlement is located in a narrow valley, the Chucchun, which opens into the Callejon de Huaylas just south of the town of Carhuaz, a little over six miles west of the village. The Hualcan lands belong to the Indians who live there, and on the basis of this fact the settlement is locally classified as an estancia, an independen…

El Peón que se negaba
Cuando el Proyecto Cornell — Perú se hizo cargo en enero de 1952 de la hacienda Vicos, los términos del Contrato exigían la continuación del sistema de hacienda; de modo que a medida que se iban implementando algunas reformas experimentales durante los cinco años en los que los miembros del Proyecto actuaron como patrones, los trabajadores de la hacienda se quedaron bajo ciertas condiciones tradicionales de control. El mismo proyecto consistía en…
