Life in Traffic
Engaging ethnographic fieldwork and archival research conducted between 2010 and 2021 along Latin America’s Interoceanic Highway in Peru’s mineral-rich Amazonian region of Madre de Dios, this article begins with a riddle that equates the exploitation of gold mines with that of women. I follow the riddle—revised and (re)told in rain forest mines, on the highway, by sex workers and Indigenous women leaders—through its different iterations to argue …
Etnobotânicas da recusa
Este artigo examina o momento acadêmico da "Virada Vegetal" ou o que Natasha Myers chamou "The Plant Turn" (2015) na antropologia norte-americana e filosofia. É uma oportunidade de destacar o legado e continuar contribuições de cosmologias indígenas para a teoria social, sublinhando como as pessoas dentro-e-fora do pensamento ocidental há muito pensamos em "tornar-se-com" as plantas. Considerando as ramificações disciplinares e as políticas das r…
Ayahuasca and Arabidopsis
Moving among the laboratory, the Brazilian Amazon, and herbaria, this article cultivates a theoretical grafting of phytocommunicable strategies that stem from human interactions with ayahuasca and Arabidopsis, two plants that appear - at least geographically - worlds apart. Ayahuasca, a psychedelic Amazonian vine, represents the 'Philosopher Plant', guiding imbibers to greater self-knowledge and facilitating embodiment across species divides. It …
Género, sexualidades y mercados sexuales en sitios extractivos de América Latina
El objetivo del CIEG es producir conocimiento teórico y aplicado de alto nivel académico en el campo de los Estudios de Género, desde un enfoque interdisciplinar, para la solución de problemas complejos y la contribución con propuestas que respondan a desafíos nacionales y globales.
Ethnobotanies of refusal
Elaborating on conversational exchanges with a Brazilian shaman about biopiracy and interweaving scholarly literature from the ontological and 'botanical' turn, the author examines the disciplinary as well as the political ramifications of plant healers and practitioners - particularly indigenous ones - going largely uncited in plant-centred discussions. In Brazil, indigenous claims for territory and political sovereignty gain traction when they …
From the side of the road to the borders of the page
Latin America’s Inter-Oceanic Road runs some 5800 kilometers from Peru’s Pacific coast to Brazil’s Atlantic coast. It is Latin America’s newest and longest East-West thoroughfare, a transnational development project involving Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and international sponsors. The road changes the social, political, and economic landscape – cutting through indigenous land in the Peruvian Andes as well as the Peruvian, Brazilian, and Bolivian Amazo…
Semiophors and sexual systems
This article examines physical and linguistic sites through which women and words about women circulate along Latin America’s Interoceanic Road, running from the Brazilian to the Peruvian coast. I argue that the discourse on women circulates with specific linguistic-packaging, made and remade at different sites. In analyzing how these sites form ‘cartographies of communicability’ (Briggs 2005), this article engages Marilena Chauí’s discussion of …
Consent and Its Discontents
This article examines local forms of women's solidarity and political resistance in M adre de D ios, P eru, within the context of international feminist debates about freedom and “consent” in the sex industry. Through the figures of two “madams” who played integral roles in organizing the sex workers of P uerto M aldonado, the regional capital, I address issues of voice in constructing policies aimed to protect sex workers. These women's experien…
The medication role of informal carers
A qualitative study was undertaken to determine the role that informal carers perform with respect to dependants' medication. The objectives of the study were to understand the nature of medication-related assistance provided by informal carers and to identify any problems they encounter with this role. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 20 informal carers who were known to provide medication-related assistance. Three group discussions w…
The potential role of community pharmacists in care management
The traditional dispensing role of the community pharmacist is increasingly being questioned and greater emphasis is being placed on the provision of advice. Introduction of the NHS Community Care Act provides an opportunity to consider the potential role of community pharmacists in care management and in carrying out assessment of individual need. This paper describes the introduction of Community Care training for community pharmacists in Derby…
Talking drums and ethical conundrums
Malian women and children represent the poorest as well as the most difficult to reach through written media. The interrelated practices of dancing, drumming, and storytelling transmit history, cultural beliefs, and current events for people who do not read and write. Researchers in the social sciences and officials for international aid organizations struggle with the circulation and reception of public health literature. They now recognize that…
