Indeed, I would argue that since the paper was written there has been little advance in addressing the two fundamental issues that Lévi-Strauss raises: firstly, whether shamanistic curing techniques are in fact effective and, secondly, if they are, how they achieve their ends.1 These are questions that anthropology has to address with as much honesty as possible.

  • Mennonites Turned Paraguay Into a Mega Beef Producer: Now Indigenous People Must Pay the Price 10 March 2020, by Joel E
    Mennonites turned Paraguay into a mega beef producer: Now Indigenous people must pay the price 10 March 2020, by Joel E. Correia the Chaco's agricultural boom: Extensive deforestation also scars the region. Roughly 14% of the Chaco forest was cut down between 2001 and 2014. The Mennonites' success in transforming the Chaco into a ranching powerhouse now undermines their own long-sought solitude, endangers this famous forest and threatens the very existence of indigenous people who've lived in the region since time immemorial. South America’s bi-oceanic highway, which will stretch from the Pacific to the Atlantic – cutting right through Paraguay – is scheduled for completion in 2022. Credit: Joel Correia, Author provided The "new Panama Canal"—that's how some are hailing a highway now under construction in South America that spans the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Bi-Oceanic Corridor cuts through the Paraguayan Chaco, Latin America's second- largest forest after the Amazon—and, these days, a hub of cattle ranching and soybean farming. A sign near Loma Plata, Paraguay, announcing the bi- oceanic highway is underway, February 2020. Credit: The Chaco—once a flat, scrubby and supposedly Joel E. Correia inhospitable forest – was transformed into a fertile agricultural region by Mennonite settlers who came to Paraguay in the early 1900s.

  • El Sufijo -Sh Del Nivacle (Mataguayo) Como Instrumental, Incremento De Valencia Y Subordinador1
    AMERINDIA n° 33/34, 2009-2010 El sufijo -sh del nivacle (mataguayo) como instrumental, incremento de valencia 1 y subordinador Alain FABRE Universidad Tecnológica de Tampere, Finlandia 1. Introducción Uno de los desafíos de la lingüística consiste en elucidar las funciones de ciertos morfemas multifacéticos, que parecen tejer a través del sistema lingüístico estudiado una vasta red de interdependencias localizada en la interface entre morfología, sintaxis y semántica. El trabajo que sigue se propone ilustrar este fenómeno desde el elusivo y omnipresente sufijo -sh de la lengua nivacle del Chaco paraguayo. Contiene tres partes. La primera sección presenta el nivacle en su entorno lingüístico y geográfico. La segunda sección ofrece un resumen tipológico de la lengua. La tercera parte aborda el estudio de las tres funciones principales del sufijo -sh, como instrumental, incremento de valencia y subordinador, y sugiere que el denominador común que permite relacionar estas funciones se halla en el papel central que el nivacle otorga al tema de la valencia verbal y sus modificaciones en el discurso. La lengua nivacle, junto con el wichí, el maká y el conjunto chorote/manjui, forma parte de la familia mataco-mataguaya o mataguayo. Todas las lenguas de esta familia se hablan en áreas del Gran Chaco que pertenecen a Argentina, Bolivia y Paraguay. El nivacle y el maká comparten muchos rasgos que los 1 El trabajo de campo nunca hubiera podido concretarse sin el apoyo logístico de Hannes Kalisch (Campo Largo).
