Richard Chase Smith (IBC): Wanderings Andean Amazon: landscape and memory ancestral colectuva yanesha Village.
One of the first revelations of a research and mapping-an ongoing, historical and culture give spacio Yánesha Village is that their story not only preserved in the collective memory, but is also reflected on the natural landscape. Thus more than 15 types of geographic features, act as physical points of reference in the landscape to help remind memorized oral texts.
Likewise, mapping, together with a careful study of ethnohistorical and oral history itself, shows that the people Yánesha has had strong ties with the Andean region of Tarma, La Oroya and Yauli and Lurin Valleys, Rimac and Chillon. Yánesha history has been carried out within an Andean-Amazonian area much wider imagined that spans both sides of the Andes from the Amazon basin to the Pacific Ocean.
Chaumeil Jean-Pierre (IFEA / CNRS): Khipu: Connections Andean Amazon?
By way of introduction, we will begin "reading" of knotted cords Yagua (Peruvian Amazon) to be held on the occasion of the great rituals. Interestingly, if Yagua have, like other peoples of the Amazon " a mythology that could be described as "tubular, ie without reference to locations or place names, however, have ropes with knots that relate specifically to sites and events. In a kind of externalization of memory (number of nodes arranged on a string). On the other hand it would be interesting to contrast this model some abstract historical-spatial memory (including shamanic journeys) with other models closely linked to the landscape, with place names or other forms of registration space, like for example the Yánesha, do not use these String types (see paper by R. Smith) In other words what is the relationship, if exists between the two modes of action? and what it teaches us about the exercise of memory in these cultures.
Isabelle Combes (IFEA, Santa Cruz): Condon, Condorillo and Candire: Saypurú lost mine.
This work provides elements of the Inca presence, if not in the Chaco itself-at least in the West Bank called "ridge Chiriguana" in Bolivia. Archaeological research is still incipient in this area and the data come mainly from colonial written sources. The most famous of these, the "positive relationship" of Diego Felipe de Alcaya, was also, paradoxically, the less credible in the eyes historians. On the basis of colonial documents and even some indigenous testimony today, is to prove the truth of this relation in particular touches Saypurú mine in the Andean foothills. Ethnohistorical research was recently confirmed by archaeological surveys, inviting you to "rehabilitate", if it is the term, chronic Alcayala strange, and to suggest new interpretations of the successive doublings of the region by the Andean peoples and lands low in search of Candire.
Jaime Reagan (CAAAP - San Marcos): Image and Memory: relations between Moche and Jibaro.
current oral memory of the Jivaro allows access to the past of their neighbors Mochica. Methodology will resume Peruvian archaeologist Julio C. Tello and others analyzed Amazonian myths to interpret the Andean iconography.
Francois Correa (Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá): The current relations between Indians in the Amazon and the Andes in Colombia.
relations between indigenous peoples of the Andes and the Amazon were disrupt the process of building national society, and today one another there are significant socio-cultural differences. We argue as ongoing participation in national society and the struggle for the recognition of rights as 'peoples' has generated a new sense of solidarity that prints new meanings to their terms of trade.
