Fighting With Wine: Ruin, Resistance and Renewal in a Qom Community of Northern Argentina Abstract This study examines public binge drinking among the Qom (Toba) ex-foragers of Formosa, northern Argentina. Based upon 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a peri-urban Qom barrio (Lot 84), this analysis relates binge drinking to Qom ethnohistory, community life, and interactions with the Argentine state. The public, performative nature of Qom binge drinking is explored; intoxication is shown to convey in sometimes violent public spectacle the pathos of their socioeconomic marginality, reinforce non- indigenous Argentines’ entrenched perceptions of violent “Indians”, and paradoxically provide the Qom with vehicle for continued colonial resistance. Many Qom view drinking problems as rooted in Lot 84’s close proximity to the city (Formosa) relative to more rural Qom villages. Thus they reference a continuum of health that runs from urban, non-indigenous spaces to the rural bush country where foods—including home-brewed alcohol—are healthful rather than harmful. In kind, the violence and perceived chaos associated with public binge drinking has led to the development of programs intended to stem alcohol use in the community. Locally, counseling efforts are woven in the missions of evangelical churches and the Catholic chapel, while top-down efforts focus upon state-run psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is explored as a paternalistic form of governmental domination and attempted assimilation. Rather than relying upon state-run methods for personal and communal re-integration, many Qom centrally position a period of alcohol use within their personal development narratives, during which alcohol allowed them to find personal esponsibilityr or an improved relationship with God. On a communal level, fighting against public alcohol use among youth has led to increased community solidarity and capacity building through sport, education and indigenous-led program creation. In summary, public binge drinking is manifest in the Qom community not through acculturation or personal pathology, but rather as a multi-valent, ritualesque performance that levies resistance against prevailing social conditions and, despite the profound tax of violence, occasions personal and communal transformation.

I first thank my committee members for their patience, commentary, and assistance through each stage of the graduate program, especially the dissertation research process. I am particularly appreciative of the advice and encouragement offered me by Philippe Bourgois, Ph.D., without whose step- wise guidance it is unlikely this work would have even come to fruition. I am additionally thankful for ample funding by the Lisa Brody-Foley Fellowship, the Brody Fund for Research in the Social Sciences, Francis Johnston Fellowship and Benjamin Franklin Fellowship through the University of Pennsylvania. Likewise, I am deeply indebted to the generosity of thought displayed by Mark Gruber, Ph.D. and Mariann Váczi, Ph.D. who volunteered to read sections of this manuscript and provided valuable ongoing commentary central to the argument I exposit. I express my sincere gratitude to Claudia Valeggia, Ph.D. for introducing me to the Qom and for facilitating the beginnings of relationships when I arrived to Lot 84 in summer of 2009. It was these meetings that would bloom into the friendships that were signatures of my time with the Qom. Without Claudia’s established community ties, this research would have proved both more lengthy and more difficult. I am immeasurably thankful to the residents of Lot 84 for allowing me to live among them, all the while asking questions which were sometimes difficult to converse about. I offer thanks to all those who agreed to speak with me and offer valuable v information as I endeavored to understand what proved to be a very multifaceted phenomenon. I am particularly grateful to members of the Qompí rugby team, who welcomed and taught a complete novice in summer 2010. Additionally, without the help of Juan Carlos Caballero and his family, a place to stay in Lot 84 would have been difficult to secure. Above all others, however, I am forever indebted to Amancio Lopez. Amancio served as Qom tutor, translator, field assistant, and advocate—often allowing his reputation to extend to my work. Amancio deserves the gratitude of a friend who will find it difficult to repay all of the goodwill offered him in advance—all I can do is try! Last, I thank my wife Cindy. Her contribution has shifted form from field assistant, to career advisor, to spiritual guru, to editor-consultant, to cheerleader. What never changed was her remarkable, unwavering support.

  • Creating Culture Through Food, a Study of Traditional Argentine Foods
    Unit Title: Creating Culture through Food: A Study of Traditional Argentine Foods Author: Kyra Brogden George Watts Magnet Montessori, Durham, NC Subject Area: Writing and Language, Social Studies Topic: Food and culture Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Lower Elementary) Time Frame: 4 days of 45-minute lessons on Argentine food, nutrition and culture Cooking: 3 days of cooking and 1 day to put together the cookbook *The cooking lessons will require more time and resources. Also the cookbook may require going through a rough draft and final copy that can occur after the lessons themselves are completed. That can be done at the teachers’ discretion. Brief Summary: This unit will focus on helping students understand the role of nutrition and food in defining a culture by studying Argentine nutrition and food. The first four lessons will focus on comparing nutritional guidelines, evaluating food, and a discussion about meal times in both the United States and Argentina. The students will then embark on a series of three lessons that each focus on a traditional Argentine food. The students will cook the food, create a nutritional analysis, learn about the history of that food, and then write food reviews. The students will ultimately make a cookbook with the recipes, pictures, nutritional analysis, and their own food review. Established Goals are taken from the Common Core Standards for Grade 2: Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g. read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations) 8.

Ce sujet, auparavant négligé par les traductologes, commence à susciter l’intérêt des chercheurs à partir les années 80. Toutefois, la plupart des travaux se sont concentrés sur l’aspect linguistique des BD. Ce mémoire, par contre, aborde la bande dessinée comme un texte multimodal. Il s’inscrit ainsi à la croisée des domaines de la traduction et de la multimodalité telle que proposée dans les travaux de Gunther Kress et Theo Van Leeuwen (2001). L’objectif de cette recherche est d’implanter un outil d’analyse pour la bande dessinée qui permettrait de rendre compte des différents modes intervenant dans le texte. Cet outil, conçu pour la présente recherche, a été développé à partir des travaux de Hatim et Mason (1990, 1997) sur les trois dimensions de la situation de communication : transaction communicative, action pragmatique et interaction sémiotique.

    IPP264 Paraguay Community Development Project Indigenous Peoples Development Framework Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Indigenous Peoples (IP) in Paraguay represent only 1.7% of the total population (about 87,100) people, according to the most recent Indigenous Peoples Census (2002). Notwithstanding, IP, show a higher population growth rate (3.9%) than the average for the national population (2.7%). Therefore, it is possible to expect that the proportion of IP will continue to grow for some time, even though they will continue to be a small proportion of the total population. 2. There are 19 different ethnic groups1 belonging to five linguistic families2, being the most numerous those belonging to the Guarari linguistic family3 (46,000 or 53%), followed by the Maskoy linguistic family groups4 (21,000 or 24%). The four largest IP groups are the Ava-Guarani (13,400 or 15.5%), Mbyá (14,300 or 16.7%), Pâí Tavyterâ (13,100 or 15.2%), and the Nivacle (12,000 or 13.9%). Most indigenous peoples speak Public Disclosure Authorized their own language and have a limited command of Spanish.
