In this paper, the author subjects the narrative of "interculturality" to a critique from an intercultural perspective, invoking the critical potential of intercultural philosophy in contrast to a culturalist "interculturality" light. The background of this analysis is the epistemic violence exercised by the West in the fields of knowledge, science, and education. This violence is particularly noticeable in the case of philosophy, leading to a sort of "philosophical homicide" (philosophicide) with respect to indigenous philosophies such as the Andean one in the case of Abya Yala. The paper concludes with some guidelines for the challenges that a critical intercultural philosophy must face in the XXI century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new Latin American economic, political and social conditions as well as the greater weight of migration ininternational context make for the fact that it has become essential for governments to politically and sociallyaddress the issues, as current migration dynamics is increasingly visible. It is necessary that public policies and national, bilateral and multilateral measures are based on the integration between the countries of the region and adjusted to the new Latin American realities. This paper explores migration policies of the Andean Community atthe start of the new millennium. The paper addresses the main agreements and legal instruments thateach of the Andean countries has developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the twenty-first century progresses, renewed theoretical developments and critical reflections are broadening explanatory horizons of cultural traditions that seemed to have already been sufficiently studied. Andean culture, consolidated as an exclusively highland phenomenon, offers a privileged field of study for problematizing the status of established knowledge. This paper discusses the Altiplano exceptionalism attributed to Andean cultures based on two masterful interventions, that of the French anthropologist Thierry Saignes, and that of the Peruvian writer Gamaliel Churata. While Saignes first pointed out the urgency of repairing the "radical ignorance that we have about Andean-Oriental societies" (Los Andes orientales: historia de un olvido); Churata explored an inter-Andean cultural circuit that both Peruvian and Bolivian historiography had made invisible: the prolific (and yet uncanny) interaction that since pre-Hispanic times was practiced between the eastern and western flanks of the Andean mountains.

This paper analyses the political paths of congresswomen in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile between 2009 and 2016. Their trajectories are classified according to their previous experience and the territorial levels at which they won elections before entering congress, and includes both novices and professionals. The professionals had prior political experience at either national or subnational level, with some having won re-election. Despite the countries' differing institutional structures, the vast majority held their first political position at national level - in congress (novices). Among the professionals, most of them in Chile, Ecuador and Peru began their careers at national level, while in Colombia and Bolivia they began at subnational level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is an attempt to show how the Andean-borderland communities (Peru, Bolivia and Chile), which were considered through the nineteenth and part of the twentieth century, by the diplomatic and central-state institutions, as heterological, marginal and diplomatically negotiable territories, have reached, since the late twentieth century, a "strategic position" at local, regional, national and international levels, especially on transfrontier scaling. This position has been reached due to emerging processes such as globalization and glocalization. The Andean-highland communities of Ancomarca, Charaña and Visviri are discussed in the scope of this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Intergovernmental coordination is a key factor to achieve a homogeneous implementation in national policies. However, the bibliography of coordination argues that the horizontal coordination (among jurisdictions of the same level of government) does not occur. On the contrary, this paper asks: Which factors produces that the subnational jurisdictions decide to act together to enforce a national environmental policy? Based on comparative analysis of the formulation process of the adequation laws to the National Forest Law in Argentina, I argue that the provinces act together when there are a regularized and legitim institutional frame available and a structures of incentives that produce that the locals politicians decide formulate and enforce an environmental policy in theirs jurisdictions.

This paper proposes some ideas regarding the history of the Quyllurit'i pilgrimage by paying close attention to the particularities of the wayri ch'unchu ritual dance. After reviewing the available historic evidence about it, the text proposes that the location of the shrine at the bottom of the Qulqipunku glacier (Ocongate, Cusco) is explained by its liminal position between the Andean highlands and the Amazon. The location of the Qulqipunku, and its difference with the Ausangate, is very evident for the communities living in the surroundings of Qulqipunku. The text proposes that these communities were the main protagonists of the pilgrimage at least until the end of the 19th century. The paper explains why the wayri ch'unchu dancers of these communities -highlanders who represent indigenous peoples of the Amazon- were so important and numerous in the past. Finally, the text shows how the continuous grow of the pilgrimage along the 20th century has meant a progressive marginalization of these communities within the pilgrimage as well as a clear decrease in the preponderance of wayri ch'unchu dancers. The decrease is directly related to attempts to subvert ideologies of social differentiation present in the region that are framed in a broader and ongoing process of de-indianization.

Trechini is a tribe of Carabidae (Coleoptera) widely distributed in the Andean Patagonian region in South America. In spite of several partial revisions of the tribe for Argentina and Chile, it is very common to find new species due to the research of unexplored areas. In the present paper, a new species of the genus Trechisibus Jeannel from the Cerro Nevado (Mendoza, Argentina) is described. Based on its morphological features the new species is considered as a member of the depressus group. The adult of the new species is described and illustrated, a key for the identification of the species of the depressus group is provided, and some aspects of the distribution of the group are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to present certain hypotheses about aspects that regional integration has acquired in the border regions, where it tends to be confused with frontier or neighbourly Integration. It also presents the acceptance of the Andean integration experience in the frontier region of Táchira and North of Santander on the border between Colombia and Venezuela; the two most active countries the Andean Community. In addition it attempts to explain the apparent rejection of regional integration over the last decade of the XX Century on the part of these agents. This paper Is the result of biblio-hemerographic consultation as well as direct observation and interviews with political and social representatives on each side of the border. It consists of five parts in which there is a geographical location of the area under study, a theoretical approximation in relation to political and social actors, their perceptions towards regional and frontier integration, the actors who are more inclined to show a positive and a negative opinion towards regional integration, and finally and there is a discussion of some of the reasons that explain the findings of acceptance or rejection towards regional integration in this border region.

Scholars often see in the chapters of Guaman Poma de Ayala's Nueva coránica y buen gobierno devoted to the history of the conquest of Peru a strong critique of Spanish chronicles accounts that ground his claim of restitution, allegedly the work's central claim. Through a close reading of its other historical chapters, those dealing with pre-Hispanic Andean history, this paper offers a new interpretation of the text. It argues that the Nueva coránica is a theologicallyorganized didactic text whose goal is to produce in the reader a radically new way of seeing the world, and that the historical narrative of the pre-Hispanic past in particular lays the foundation that will render intelligible in an alternative way the present of the colonial society and its future.

This paper describes the nest site and nest of Asthenes modesta in the High Andes in the province of San Juan, Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Religious pilgrimages to the high Andes take place periodically in the Humahuaca region of northern Argentina. Although these processions are formally dedicated to the Virgin and saints of Catholicism, they take place in a mountain landscape that has been traditionally sacred in Andean religiosity. This paper describes the high altitude pilgrimage to Punta Corral from an ethnographic and ethnoarchaeological perspective, focusing in the use of the mountain scenery in the context of the diverse rituals that configure this particular collective religious experience. The Punta Corral pilgrimage is a syncrethic ceremony which combines elements of popular catholicism in Latinoamerica with traditional Andean rituals of probable pre-hispanic origin.

Literary Indigenism and the narrative production of Peruvian writer José María Arguedas have long been associated with one another as discursive practices which share the same narrative commitment. This paper attempts to establish the discursive horizon of literary Indigenism, in examining the moods of enunciation and the discursive relations of Arguedas' work. Also, it discusses the supposed indigenist identity of that work, considering specifically the history of representations of the figure of indigenous people and the Andean world.

One of the principal purposes of Q'eros music is to actively regenerate and re-create good relationships with the cosmos and the spirit world they believe in. In this paper, I explore how both the Q'eros' indigenous songs as well as their newly-adopted music and dance for Peru's largest pilgrimage, Qoyllurit'i, achieve efficacy of purpose through similar techniques of sound production and aesthetics. Even though the specific musical traits (structure, scale, and instrumentation) of both musical styles are significantly different, I address how Q'eros' musical production of both types share the same focus and serve the same end-goals, whether the ritual is an intimate one within the community or shared with thousands of other people from the greater region. In addition, the performance of both styles of music serve as specific identity markers for the Q'eros depending on their contextual use and the identity desired at the time. In other words, the Q'eros' musical choices allow them to shift identities between traditional Q'eros in their home community and misti (mestizo) in Qoyllurit'i. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper an attempt will be made to offer a partial history of the three major languages of ancient Perú: Puquina, Aimara and Quechua, postulating their initial settlement from which they started spreading, until their encounter in the Central-Southern Andes during the Late Intermediate Period. It is proposed that the Incas passed through two stages of language substitution: the first from Puquina to Aimara and then from Aimara to Quechua. Linguistic, historical and archaeological evidence will be advanced to support the hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A small lexicon of traditional weaving (telar de cintura), collected in Agallpampa (Otuzco, La Libertad) offers evidence against the idea of any linguistic identity being shared between the area of the now extinct Culle language, and the Cajamarca Valley. Yet, such a link is supported by the isolation of a grammatical element, traced to the Culle language in both areas: diminutive suix --ash--, as in cholasho 'young little man' and chinasha 'young little woman'. These contrasting data shed new light on a discussion begun by Torero (1989) about the existence of particular languages in the central Cajamarca area (languages Den and Cat); and continued by Adelaar with Muysken (2004), who suggest that cases of lexical community between the Culle geographical nucleus and indigenous words of Cajamarca Quechua, which cannot be traced back to Quechua idiomatic sources, suggest that a Culle substratum holds for the Cajamarca Valley. his paper argues that, in order to solve this apparent paradox, it is necessary to focus on this issue in terms of linguistic strata: i.e., different stages of idiomatic hegemony before Quechua and Spanish were established in the region. he oldest stratum would be associated with Den, and the more recent, albeit still prior to the Quechua and Spanish periods, would be Culle. Based upon archaeological research in the area and on the recent association of Cajamarca Quechua with the Huari expansion (Adelaar 2012), I suggest that the chronological distance between both strata must be deep, since Culle would have been established in the region long before the Northern Huari expansion took place. Nonetheless, the existence of Quechua-Den mixed toponyms precludes this hypothesis being applied to the whole Cajamarca territory, especially its southwest area (Contumazá). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to understand from a regional perspective the causes of the civil war of 1876-1877 in the Northeastern Colombian Andes. An approximation is made to the urban hierarchy in the current Colombian departments of Santander and Norte de Santander between 1853 and 1875. The conditions leading to conflict and the change in that hierarchy are presented. In addition, intervening players and the location of the events of the war are identified. It concludes that the group that fell in urban hierarchy was the one that started the war and that this hierarchical change was one of the causes of the war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, I discuss early complexity in the southern Lake Titicaca Basin of the Bolivian Andes. I examine a regional landscape of multi-community formations that emerged during the Late Formative Period (100 BC-AD 500). I suggest that during the Late Formative in the southern Lake Titicaca basin, the establishment of Khonkho Wankane and other disembedded centers, played an important role in the social transformations that ultimately gave rise to centralized political systems. Political activity was undoubtedly an important element of social interaction, but it was enmeshed with ritual and other activities, such as mound construction, and formed an embedded part of more encompassing, large-scale ceremonial encounters. More than they were aggrandizers, those who resided at Khonkho were social and ideological mediators. This case suggests that non-state complexity may be far more variable than most current archaeological models propose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper attempts to clarify the different glossonyms applied to the Mapuche language (Mapuzungun) in the academic and popular literature, since laymen and scientific authors sometimes make mistakes with the names they use to refer to this language. This article first presents the glossonyms used by the Mapuche people themselves in the different Mapuche-speaking areas, including all the allonyms with their allograms. Then, pseudo-glossonyms are considered and the steps leading to these errors are analyzed. In a third section, exoglossonyms, i.e. names applied from outside the ethnic group, are considered and grouped into two sub-sections. First, those of European and non-Indian origin, among them Araucano, the best known and most widespread name. Paleonyms with their allograms are also listed. Second, exoglossonyms given by other indigenous people, specifically the Tehuelche people. The different allonyms reflect geographic varieties of this language, especially on the western side of the Andes. The glossonyms employed by the Mapuche people on eastern side of the Andes are used as synonyms in the different communities. Finally, three glossonyms that should be avoided are listed because two of them are pseudo-glossonyms and the third one is rejected by ethnic revitalization movements. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to many analysts, the Nation-State is undergoing a deep crisis, because the effectiveness of its power is being broken up in three directions: upward, as a consequence of globalization and supranationalization; horizontally due to the dismantling of the Welfare State, privatization and deregulation; and downward, because of decentralization and the empowerment of the regional and local entities. According to these interpretations, the joint action of such trends would be eroding the traditional competences of the Nation State and determining the irrelevance of this political entity in the global dynamics of power and the economy. This paper analyses the impact of the above mentioned trends in the Andean countries. It concludes by stating that in this context the processes aimed at reducing the role of the State, have paradoxically turned into the widening of its sphere of action in other fields.

The article discusses the history of Andean textiles following the Spanish conquest and during the establishment of the colonial system from the late 16th century to the early 17th century. It asserts that textiles were the primary form through which pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the Andes gave shape to and communicated their ideas, formalized social and political relationships, and interacted with the spiritual world. The article further maintains that Andean textiles and dress revealed information about the economic policy of the Inca state, facilitating the conquest and colonization, and that they informed strategies developed to convert native peoples to Christianity.
