Número de Páginas: 788

El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde su inicio en 1875, como un congreso de estudios de área en sentido completo, hace aún más significativa esa dinámica de producción de conocimiento. Con un planteamiento interdisciplinario e inclusivo, ICA reúne a investigadores que estudian el continente americano, desde Alaska hasta Tierra de Fuego, incluyendo el territorio del Caribe, a partir del análisis de su política, economía, cultural, lenguas, historia y prehistoria. Así, el Comité Organizador les invitó participar en el...

Weaving a Future

Weaving a Future

Autor: Elayne Zorn

Número de Páginas: 250

The people of Taquile Island on the Peruvian side of beautiful Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the Americas, are renowned for the hand-woven textiles that they both wear and sell to outsiders. One thousand seven hundred Quechua-speaking peasant farmers, who depend on potatoes and the fish from the lake, host the forty thousand tourists who visit their island each year. Yet only twenty-five years ago, few tourists had even heard of Taquile. In Weaving a Future: Tourism, Cloth, and Culture on an Andean Island, Elayne Zorn documents the remarkable transformation of the isolated rocky island into a community-controlled enterprise that now provides a model for indigenous communities worldwide. Over the course of three decades and nearly two years living on Taquile Island, Zorn, who is trained in both the arts and anthropology, learned to weave from Taquilean women. She also learned how gender structures both the traditional lifestyles and the changes that tourism and transnationalism have brought. In her comprehensive and accessible study, she reveals how Taquileans used their isolation, landownership, and communal organizations to negotiate the pitfalls of globalization...

Los Quipocamayos

Los Quipocamayos

Autor: Frank Salomon

Número de Páginas: 311

Entre las "escrituras perdidas" del mundo antiguo ninguna resulta más desconcertante que la de los viejos khipus. Pero ¿en realidad ésta se ha perdido definitivamente? Este libro demuestra que los khipus tuvieron una larga y sorprendente trayectoria en coexistencia con lo que ha venido llamándose la "ciudad letrada" colonial y republicana. Nos encontramos, sin duda alguna, ante un brillante estudio etnográfico de su sobrevivencia. Partiendo de datos recogidos en Tupicocha (un pueblo de Huarochirí cuyas tradiciones están recogidas en el manuscrito quechua de 1608), Salomón consigue responder preguntas fundamentales: ¿Qué hechos se registraron en los cordeles? ¿En cuál código? ¿Para que- sirvieron los khipus dentro del régimen social de los ayllus? lisia investigación ofrece sugerentes respuestas, muy relevantes para los estudios arqueológicos y etnográficos. Pero mucho más que esto, el problema de los khipus plantea un reto a toda la teoría contemporánea sobre los orígenes cicla escritura y la literacidad. Al inscribir ¿la humanidad mimetiza inevitablemente el habla? liste sorprendente estudio sugiere que los pueblos originarios tle los Andes exploraron vías ...

A Woven Book of Knowledge

A Woven Book of Knowledge

Autor: Gail P. Silverman

Número de Páginas: 268

Known for their intricate textiles, the Q'ero are a traditional Quechua-speaking Peruvian highland people. Their weavings are full of symbolic elements and motifs that encode specific cultural information and their textiles are the repositories for knowledge that has been passed down through generations. Based on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken between 1979 and 1991, A Woven Book of Knowledge examines and compares regional weaving styles and discusses the general texture of highland life. The author's long involvement with members of the Q'ero community has provided unique opportunities for insight into their ideas about weaving, iconography, and spatial and temporal concepts. But A Woven Book of Knowledge is more than an ethnographic study. If the warp of the book is the academic rigor of anthropology and linguistics, the weft is Silverman's love for the textiles themselves and for the Q'ero people. It is a result of a passion that has kept her in Cuzco for years, dedicating her career to the study of the local textile tradition.

Social Justice Counseling

Social Justice Counseling

Autor: Rita Chi-ying Chung , Frederic P. Bemak

Número de Páginas: 289

"Social Justice Counseling is the next step toward alleviating the injustices faced by individuals in society and it is a natural extension of multicultural counseling. Issues of social justice are dominating conferences across the mental health disciplines, with a greater focus on alleviating broader social inequities such as equity, access and fairness for each individual. At a micro level social justice issues play out in the form of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, equal access to education, fair housing, and more. Traditionally counselors have been focused on the individual, however, in recent years there has been a shift for all mental health professionals to address issues of social class, race and ethnicity and more. This books offers a supplement to important issues regarding social justice and will highly enhance the content taught in multicultural courses. The authors are leading authorities on social justice counseling and have led the way to create a specialization in social justice counseling at their school at George Mason University. This book is the first to bring all these concepts together, tie them to multiculturalism, and offer personal applications...
