From Longhouse to Village
Change has always been a recalcitrant topic to students of society. Constantly challenging, frequently puzzling, historical process—change, diachrony, transformation-refuses to be neatly conceptualized or easily explained. A review of some recent statements on the subject reveals three salient and recurrent themes. The first is the relationship between event and structure (Moore 1987, 1994; Ohnuki Tierney 1990; Sahlins 1981, 1985, 1994); the seco…
Ecocosmología y chamanismo en el Amazonas
Con base en el análisis de la etnografía makuna, este artículo provee una revisión crítica del celebrado modelo de la cosmología ecológica tucano de Reichel-Dolmatoff. Esta interpretación del modelo tucano sugiere a su vez una lectura alternativa de la etnografía de los jívaros. En particular, el artículo propone el análisis comparativo de las variedades de animismo jívaro y tucano –uno predatorio, el otro recíproco– como lo propone Descola (1992…
Millennium Among the Makuna

La realisation de ce film a modifie leur perception de cet art : le film qui etait considere par les Makuna comme etant lui-meme un rituel qui montre ce qui arrive dans un autre monde, a un autre moment, n'est plus qu'une representation irreelle face au rite qui, selon la vision du monde Makuna, cree, reproduit et tr…
The makú, the Makuna and the Guiana system
it is argued that the Makuna society in the Colombian Vaupés is an intermediate form between two contrasting but related types of social organization, represented by the Carib societies of the Guiana region and the Tukano groups of the Northwest Amazon. The paper suggests that current changes in Makuna society may, in part, be understood in terms of the underlying structure of exchange, encoded in the asymmetric alliance system common to all thes…

Makuna Social Organization
This article examines the social organization of the Makuna, an indigenous group in the northwestern Amazon. It focuses on the interplay of descent, alliance, and the formation of corporate groups. The Makuna utilize a combination of patrilineal descent and exogamous marriage practices, resulting in a complex system of social relations. The study analyzes how these principles shape the structure and dynamics of Makuna communities, including the o…
