View of Methodology THE TENSION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL LAND USES AND THE CONSERVATION AREA DESIGNATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE CREOLES IN CATANIAPO RIVER BASIN, VENEZUELA A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Hector V. Blanco-Ponce June 2005 This thesis entitled THE TENSION BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL LAND USES AND THE CONSERVATION AREA DESIGNATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE CREOLES IN CATANIAPO RIVER BASIN, VENEZUELA BY HECTOR V. BLANCO-PONCE has been approved for the Program of Environmental Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nancy Bain Professor of Geography Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Science BLANCO-PONCE, HECTOR V. M.S. June 2005. Environmental Studies The Tension Between Developmental Land Uses and the Conservation Area Designation: A Case Study of the Creoles in Cataniapo River Basin, Venezuela (100 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nancy Bain Shifting cultivation is a contributing activity of deforestation in the Venezuelan tropical forest. It involves slash-and burn techniques as a cheap mean for clearing forestland for agriculture that is not compatible for conservation area designation. This study focuses on a case-study of small farmers settled on a protected area in Venezuela and addresses the question of what are the social aspects of deforestation. The data used to explore these issues consist of a survey of 83 households in 2005. Overall, results indicate that origin, product markets, and off-farm labor opportunities influence deforestation decisions. Households with greater levels of education and off-farm labor income or wealth are relatively new to the area, and are more likely to use the land for residential or recreational purposes. This introduces a new land use system to the area that suggests further research for land use and conservation planning. Approved: Nancy Bain Professor of Geography Acknowledgments This thesis was partially supported by the Fulbright Amazon Basin Program, and the Venezuelan Environment and Natural Resources Agency (MARN). This work could not have been accomplished without the help of the State of Amazonas Environmental Affairs Office (DEA-Amazonas) who provided the personnel and transportation to carry out the field survey and the LandSat-7 satellite image and the cartographic information of the study area. I would like to thank Domingo Noguera, Hugo Chacon, and Jose Sanchez for their help while visiting the farmers on the Cataniapo River Basin; I also would like to thank Kathy Devecka for her encouragement and spiritual support throughout this project, as well for the proofreading and presentation preparation. I am also committed to Dr. Brad Jokisch and Dr. Ariaster B. Chimeli for their constructive comments and advice. I am also especially thankful to Dr. Nancy Bain, my thesis advisor, for her encouragement, advice, and helpful discussions throughout the course of this project. I am indebted to Dr. Gene Mapes, Director of the Environmental Studies Program, for her unconditional support and guidance during my two years at Ohio University and along my stay for thesis defense. Finally I am grateful to my family, friends, and co-workers for all their moral support. 5 Table of Contents Abstract................................................................................................................................3 Acknowledgments ...............................................................................................................4 List of Tables .......................................................................................................................7 List of Figures......................................................................................................................8 Chapter I.

  • Piaroa Shamanic Ethics and Ethos: Living by the Law and the Good Life of Tranquillity
    International Journal of Latin American Religions (2018) 2:315–333 https://doi.org/10.1007/s41603-018-0059-0 Piaroa Shamanic Ethics and Ethos: Living by the Law and the Good Life of Tranquillity Robin Rodd1 Received: 18 July 2018 /Accepted: 7 October 2018 /Published online: 15 October 2018 # Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 Abstract The Amazonian cosmos is a battlefield where beauty is possible but violent chaos rules. As a result, the Piaroa world is characterised by an ongoing battle between shamans who uphold, on behalf of all Piaroa, the ideal of ethical living, and forces of chaos and destruction, epitomised by malevolent spirits (märi) and dangerous sorcerers. This essay draws on ethnographic research involving shamanic apprenticeship conducted between 1999 and 2002 to explore the ethics of Piaroa shamanic practice. Given the ambivalent nature of the Amazonian shaman as healer and sorcerer, what constitutes ethical shamanic practice? How is good defined relative to the potential for social and self-harm? I argue that the Piaroa notions of ‘living by the law’ and ‘the good life of tranquillity’ amount to a theory of shamanic ethics and an ethos in the sense of a culturally entrained system of moral and emotional sensibilities. This ethos turns on the importance of guiding pro-social, cooperative and peaceful behaviour in the context of a cosmos marked by violent chaos. Shamanic ethics also pivots around the ever-present possibility that visionary power dissolves into self- and social destruction. Ethical shamanic practice is contingent on shamans turning their own mastery of the social ecology of emotions into a communitarian reality.

  • Fact Sheet UNHCR Venezuela
    FACT SHEET Venezuela March 2019 The country was hit by a massive nation-wide blackout on 7 March which lasted five days and was followed by recurrent long power outages throughout the rest of the month. The blackout brought Venezuela to a standstill and interrupted already unreliable water, telecommunications, electronic payment and fuel services. Particularly hit were the western states of Apure, Táchira and Zulia –where most of UNHCR’s prioritised communities lie- and Maracaibo, the country’s second largest city, was wrought by widespread looting. The outage seriously affected operational capacity and morale in field offices and the living conditions of people of concern to UNHCR. The borders with Colombia and Brazil remained closed throughout the month, forcing people in transit to use increasingly risky and expensive informal crossing routes and impacting negatively on the livelihoods of border communities that have been traditionally dependent on cross-border commuting. The political power struggle continued, with opposition leader Juan Guaido’ making a triumphal return to the country on 1 March and exploiting the blackout to step up mobilisation against President Nicolas Maduro. The government blamed the blackouts on sabotage by the opposition and technological attacks by the United States, while the opposition blamed it on government ineptitude and corruption. The economy of Venezuela ground to a halt, schools and offices remained closed for most of the month and shops only accepted cash, which has been traditionally scarce. The Bolivar has been gradually supplanted by the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real at the borders and by the US dollar in Caracas.

  • Music, Plants, and Medicine: Lamista Shamanism in the Age of Internationalization
    MUSIC, PLANTS, AND MEDICINE: LAMISTA SHAMANISM IN THE AGE OF INTERNATIONALIZATION By CHRISTINA MARIA CALLICOTT A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2020 © 2020 Christina Maria Callicott In honor of don Leovijildo Ríos Torrejón, who prayed hard over me for three nights and doused me with cigarette smoke, scented waters, and cologne. In so doing, his faith overcame my skepticism and enabled me to salvage my year of fieldwork that, up to that point, had gone terribly awry. In 2019, don Leo vanished into the ethers, never to be seen again. This work is also dedicated to the wonderful women, both Kichwa and mestiza, who took such good care of me during my time in Peru: Maya Arce, Chabu Mendoza, Mama Rosario Tuanama Amasifuen, and my dear friend Neci. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the kindness and generosity of the Kichwa people of San Martín. I am especially indebted to the people of Yaku Shutuna Rumi, who welcomed me into their homes and lives with great love and affection, and who gave me the run of their community during my stay in El Dorado. I am also grateful to the people of Wayku, who entertained my unannounced visits and inscrutable questioning, as well as the people of the many other communities who so graciously received me and my colleagues for our brief visits. I have received support and encouragement from a great many people during the eight years that it has taken to complete this project.

  • Colombia Curriculum Guide 090916.Pmd
    National Geographic describes Colombia as South America’s sleeping giant, awakening to its vast potential. “The Door of the Americas” offers guests a cornucopia of natural wonders alongside sleepy, authentic villages and vibrant, progressive cities. The diverse, tropical country of Colombia is a place where tourism is now booming, and the turmoil and unrest of guerrilla conflict are yesterday’s news. Today tourists find themselves in what seems to be the best of all destinations... panoramic beaches, jungle hiking trails, breathtaking volcanoes and waterfalls, deserts, adventure sports, unmatched flora and fauna, centuries old indigenous cultures, and an almost daily celebration of food, fashion and festivals. The warm temperatures of the lowlands contrast with the cool of the highlands and the freezing nights of the upper Andes. Colombia is as rich in both nature and natural resources as any place in the world. It passionately protects its unmatched wildlife, while warmly sharing its coffee, its emeralds, and its happiness with the world. It boasts as many animal species as any country on Earth, hosting more than 1,889 species of birds, 763 species of amphibians, 479 species of mammals, 571 species of reptiles, 3,533 species of fish, and a mind-blowing 30,436 species of plants. Yet Colombia is so much more than jaguars, sombreros and the legend of El Dorado. A TIME magazine cover story properly noted “The Colombian Comeback” by explaining its rise “from nearly failed state to emerging global player in less than a decade.” It is respected as “The Fashion Capital of Latin America,” “The Salsa Capital of the World,” the host of the world’s largest theater festival and the home of the world’s second largest carnival.
