Indigenous Subjectivities, Inequalities and Kinship Under the Peruvian Family Planning Programme Planning Quechua Families: Indigenous Subjectivities, Inequalities and Kinship under the Peruvian Family Planning Programme Rebecca Irons University College London PhD Anthropology 2020 1 I, Rebecca Irons, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Quechua people have a fraught history with the Peruvian national family planning (FP) programme, with an estimated 300,000 individuals (forcibly) sterilised during the 1990s Fujimori-government in a biopolitical act that saw indigenous people as less ‘desirable’ and therefore sought to restrict reproduction in this group (Ewig, 2010). The state is now targeting the ‘rural, poor’ (often synonymous with ‘indigenous’) specifically for family planning intervention once more, based on perceived unmet need in this population. Now, for the first time in history, the 2017 national census included a question about identification of indigeneity, further suggesting heightened governmental interest in the demographics of this group. State intervention in Quechua reproductive health is not limited to FP. In 2005 an ‘intercultural birth’ policy was introduced that sought to bring women away from communities and into hospitals through the implementation of ‘Quechua cultural elements’ of birth amongst the biomedical settings. However, it has been argued that this policy was a veiled attempt to alter the subjectivities of Quechua women through an enforced association with biomedicine, thereby ‘whitening’ them (Guerra-Reyes, 2014). Social whitening through biomedical- association is well documented in the Andes; for example, women may seek IVF treatment or caesarean scars as proof of their interaction with the ‘whiter’ biomedical environments (Roberts, 2012). Yet, not all Andeans actively seek this racialised subjectivity, and instead may have it forced upon them as an imposition of state ‘coloniality of power’ that hierarchies race in Peru, to the disadvantage of the indigenous (Quijano, 2000). Such reproductive health policies can irreparably disrupt not only corporeal-subjectivity but kinship relations (Berry, 2010), inalterably affecting subjectivities at multiple levels. Through an ethnographic investigation into the contemporary FP programme offered to low-income Quechua women free-of-charge in a health-network in rural Ayacucho, this timely study interrogates if/how, through biomedical FP, the Peruvian state influences indigenous subjectivity, inequalities, and kinship. 3 IMPACT STATEMENT As a work of anthropology focusing on global health concerns, this thesis has the ability to impact cross-disciplinarily, in and outside of academia. The new knowledge presented would prove beneficial to a number of stakeholders from different disciplines and non-academic positions, including public health policy makers, governmental health ministries, NGOs, and charities working in the health sector. The text analyses and suggests recommendations of improvement for a Peruvian health network serving the indigenous Quechua population, with a focus on women’s experiences. Thus, this work could be used to give further insight into the intersections of state-health services and vulnerable populations, responding directly to the UCL Grand Challenges of Global Health & Human Wellbeing and therefore contributing to the overarching research focuses of UCL. The benefits within academia specifically would come from this work’s contribution to knowledge and development of theory, addressing topics of particular importance and widespread concern at present (decolonial academia; gender; race). This could benefit not only other anthropologists but a diverse range of scholars working across disciplines, including those within the social sciences & humanities, but also extending further to global & public health, women’s health, and medicine. The impact of this study has both local and international potential. The results of the thesis were presented to the Ministry of Health Peru so that the findings could be communicated to policymakers who could then take the recommendations into consideration for future policies. Here, the potential for impact is significant as this approach could eventually have a direct health benefit on the population with whom the research was undertaken. Internationally, the impact will be made through dissemination of outputs within academia, through submission to international scholarly journals, in both English and Spanish in order to reach a wider audience (five peer-reviewed articles published thus far from this research). Other forms of public outreach, such as the UCL Medical Anthropology blog and in-house magazine, have also be utilised to disseminate the research further. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I would like to thank the Vilquinos who kindly participated in this study, answering my questions with patience and allowing me into their world. This study would not have been possible without their kind cooperation. My thanks also extend to those working for the Ministry of Health Peru, both in Vilcashuaman and Huamanga. I am indebted to all the obstetras who shared their professional wisdom, opinions, and time with me whenever I asked. In the Ayacucho Directorate, I am particularly grateful to Lorena Roca for her continued help and support with logistics. This project could not have come together without her. In the UK I extend my gratitude to my PhD supervisors, Sahra Gibbon and Jennie Gamlin, with whom I always felt supported and in good hands to successfully bring this dissertation to life. To those colleagues in the UK, US, and Peru, and particularly my fellow Andeanists, with whom I have shared ongoing thoughts, literature, and laughs – thank you. Finally, I would like to thank all my family and friends, in the UK and in Peru, who have endured three years of my emotional and professional journey through my doctorate. Your support has been invaluable. 5 CONTENTS Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………3 Impact Statement ……………………………………………………………………..4 Acknowledgements……………………………………………………………………5 List of Tables and Figures……………………………………………………………9 List of Abbreviations and Useful Terminology……………………………………12 ONE: INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………...…15 Research Questions and Aims……………………………………………..19 Background and Literature…………………………………………….…………20 Race and ‘Modernity’……………………………………………………..…28 Fluidity of Race in Peru…………………………………………………...…32 Biomedicine and Whitening…………………………………………………34 The State and Indigeneity………………………………………………...…37 Theoretical Perspectives……………………………………………………….…42 Coloniality of Power…………………………………………………….……42 Biopolitics and Reproductive Governance………………………...………44 Intersectionality…………………………………………………………….…46 Structure of the Dissertation………………………………………………….….49 TWO: METHODOLOGY……………………………………………………………55 Introducing Ayacucho……………………………………………………….……55 Vilcashuaman…………………………………………………………..……55 Reproductive Health in Ayacucho……………………………………….…63 The Shining Path and Inca Paths…………………………..………………67 Quechua Population and Terms…………………………………………………72 Further Context Considerations………………………………………….…76 The Health System in Peru……………………………………………………..…77 The Health Workers……………………………………………………….…78 Data Collection Language………………………………………………...……………………………82 Participant Ages………………………………………………………………………82 Participant Recruitment…………………………………………………..............…82 Participant Observation…………………………………………………………...…83 6 Interviews…………………………………………………………………..…84 Permissions and Ethical Considerations………………………………..…86 Limitations………………………………………………………………….…86 Researcher Positionality…………………………………………………….89 THREE: STERILISATIONS…………………………………………………………99 Embodied Fear and Mistrust…………………………………………………….105 Understanding Obstetric and Corporeal Experiences on a Continuum of Violence……………………………………………………………………………..112 Reproductive Governance and Selective Attention to Events in the Continuum……………………………………………………………………….…119 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………….…124 FOUR: FAMILY PLANNING…………………………………………….…………129 Biomedicine, Whiteness, and Family Planning Discourse………………...134 Marca Peru and Family Planning……………………………………………….149 Privacy and discipline……………………………………………………………155 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………….…159 FIVE: GENDER………………………………………………………………..……163 Gender Complementarity, Machismo, and the Coloniality of Gender…...169 Gendering Reproductive Responsibility……………………………………...184 The ‘Gender Focus’ and Reproductive Governance………………………..200 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………….203 SIX: PARENTHOOD……………………………………………….………………209 State Welfare: Looking after the children…………………………………….211 A Future Generation of ‘Professionals’……………………………………….220 Financial Prioritisation…………………………………………………………...228 ‘Good Fatherhood’………………………………………………………………..237 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………….241 SEVEN: HEALTH WORKERS…………………………………………………….245 Local Inequalities within the Health Network………………………………...249 Fulfilling Metas and the Blame Game………………………………………….258 7 Evaluations and Administration: An Obstetra’s World……………………..265 Data, Census, Discipline…………………………………………………………271 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………….275 EIGHT: CANCER…………………………………………...………………………279 Cancer in the Clinic: (In)Visibilities…………………………………………….283 The Pishtaco and the Speculum………………………………………………..289 Hormonal Pharmaceuticals and Blood Accumulation……………………..298 Conclusion………………………………………………………………………….308 NINE: CONCLUSION………………………………………………………………313 Quechua Reproductive Identity………………………………………………...315 Towards

  • Orienting Fandom: the Discursive Production of Sports and Speculative Media Fandom in the Internet Era
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository ORIENTING FANDOM: THE DISCURSIVE PRODUCTION OF SPORTS AND SPECULATIVE MEDIA FANDOM IN THE INTERNET ERA BY MEL STANFILL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications with minors in Gender and Women’s Studies and Queer Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor CL Cole, Co-Chair Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville, Co-Chair Professor Cameron McCarthy Assistant Professor Anita Chan ABSTRACT This project inquires into the constitution and consequences of the changing relationship between media industry and audiences after the Internet. Because fans have traditionally been associated with an especially participatory relationship to the object of fandom, the shift to a norm of media interactivity would seem to position the fan as the new ideal consumer; thus, I examine the extent to which fans are actually rendered ideal and in what ways in order to assess emerging norms of media reception in the Internet era. Drawing on a large archive consisting of websites for sports and speculative media companies; interviews with industry workers who produce content for fans; and film, television, web series, and news representations from 1994-2009 in a form of qualitative big data research—drawing broadly on large bodies of data but with attention to depth and texture—I look critically at how two media industries, speculative media and sports, have understood and constructed a normative idea of audiencing.

  • Medienmitteilung (Quelle: Open Air Gampel)
    Programm-Release III Open Air Gampel 14.-17.08.2014 «The best party of my life» Mit den bisherigen Bestätigungen hat ‚Gampel‘ mit Volbeat, Marilyn Manson, Mandio Diao und anderen bereits einige heisse Perlen angekündigt. Das mittlerweile dritte Bandpaket steht nun für das, was ‚Gampel‘ gross macht: nämlich «Ischi Party»! Und um dem gerecht zu werden, musste der ultimative Partykracher her – überraschend und exklusiv! Einfach Scooter! Scooter mit «20 years of hardcore» verkauften weltweit über 30 Millionen Tonträger und waren während über 500 Wochen in den Charts vertreten. In Kürze erscheint mit «The fifth chapter» das brandneue Album. In dieselbe Kerbe schlagen Clean Bandit. Mit ihrem Nummer-Eins-Hit «Rather be» gehören sie in den Charts, Clubs und auch auf den Bühnen zu den grossen Newcomern dieses Jahres. Auch die Band American Authors hat eine grosse Chartpräsenz. Ihr Folk-Song «Best day of my life» steht rund um den Globus praktisch überall in den Top10. In Amerika wurde der Track bereits über 1 Million mal verkauft. Auch das diesjährige DJ-Line-up ist vollgespickt mit vielen Chartstürmern; unter ihnen Faul & Wad AD, Remady & Manu L, DJ ZsuZsu und Alex Price. Ergänzt wird dieses Bandpaket mit Bear Hands, einer Indie-Rock-Band mit grosse Zukunft, den Tessinern von Sinplus, den experimentierfreudigen Yokko, den Top-5-Rappern von Lo & Leduc, dem unverwüstlichen Plüsch-Urgetier Ritschi und vor allem mit den mysteriösen Kadebostany. Es ist dies wohl eine der derzeit spannendsten Bands schweizweit mit einem riesigen internationalen Potential. Freuen darf man sich auch auf die Verpflichtung der Kyle Gass Band, der einen Hälfte des sensationellen Duos Tenacious D.

  • Scooter Am 28. August 2015 Open Air Auf Der Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 21.10.2014 Hyper Hyper – dritte Bestätigung für den Hamburger Kultursommer 2015: Scooter am 28. August 2015 Open Air auf der Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld Der nächste Hamburger Kultursommer wird heiß – Scooter ist bestätigt! Die Techno- Pioniere bilden nicht nur eine der erfolgreichsten deutschen Bands überhaupt. Das Trio um Tausendsassa H.P. Baxxter ist die Garantie dafür, dass alle abgehen werden wie eine Rakete. Wenn die Hamburger Lokalmatadoren im nächsten Jahr am 28. August auf die Bühne der Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld treten werden, wird die Stadt zu Beben beginnen! Am 26. September erschien das neue Album von Scooter, „The Fifth Chapter“. Darauf wagt die Band im 20. Jahr ihres Bestehens noch einmal alles. Die Platte klingt durchweg modern, es ist ein von subtiler, bisweilen dadaistischer Selbstironie durch- drungenes Album, bei dem nicht, wie so oft in der Vergangenheit, von Single zu Single geschritten wird, sondern das wie ein klassisches Pop-Album einen echten Spannungsbogen besitzt – die Band bleibt sich bei ihrem mittlerweile 17. Studioalbum natürlich trotzdem treu. Eine Generalüberholung ist nötig gewesen. Der Abschied von Gründungsmitglied Rick J. Jordan hatte eine klaffende Lücke im Bandgefüge hinterlassen. H.P. Baxxter sah sich als „Maximo Leader“ und einziges verbliebenes Mitglied der Ur-Besetzung mit einem Mal mit noch größerer musikalischer Autorität ausgestattet als zuvor. 23 Top Ten-Hits, 30 Millionen verkaufte Tonträger und über 90 Gold- und Platin-Awards weltweit – besser geht es eigentlich nicht, was soll da noch kommen? H.P. fand mit Phil Speiser als dritten im Bunde und an den Synthesizern einen neuen Mitstreiter, der sich so stark in der Gegenwart der Produktionstechnik bewegte, dass jedes Arbeiten an einem neuen Track zu einem Sparring wie beim Boxen wurde.

  • Staging Lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru
    Staging lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Alton Bush, MA Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Co-Advisor Katherine Borland, Co-Advisor Ana Puga Copyright by Jason Bush 2011 Abstract “Staging Lo Andino: Danza de las Tijeras, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru,” draws on more than sixteen months of fieldwork in Peru, financed by Ohio State‟s competitive Presidential Fellowship for dissertation research and writing. I investigate a historical ethnography of the Peruvian scissors dance, an acrobatic indigenous ritual dance historically associated with the stigma of indigeneity, poverty, and devil worship. After the interventions of Peruvian public intellectual José María Arguedas (1911-1969), the scissors dance became an emblem of indigenous Andean identity and valued as cultural patrimony of the nation. Once repudiated by dominant elites because it embodied the survival of indigenous spiritual practices, the scissors dance is now a celebrated emblem of Peru‟s cultural diversity and the perseverance of Andean traditions in the modern world. I examine the complex processes whereby anthropologists, cultural entrepreneurs, cosmopolitan artists, and indigenous performers themselves have staged the scissors dance as a symbolic resource in the construction of the emergent imaginary of a “New Peru.” I use the term “New Peru” to designate a flexible repertoire of utopian images and discourses designed to imagine the belated overcoming of colonial structures of power and the formation of a modern nation with foundations in the Pre-Columbian past.

  • La Figura Del Pishtaco Andino Como
    Estudios Latinoamericanos 39 (2019) 131–141 https://doi.org/10.36447/Estudios2019.v39.art8 La fi gura del pishtaco andino como expresión simbólica de trauma social, aculturación y confl icto (ss. XVI-XXI) Mirosław Mąka , Elżbieta Jodłowska Resumen El pishtaco andino es una de las fi guras más intrigantes y difíciles de defi nir dentro del imaginario po- pular. No cabe en ninguna de las categorías de seres sobrenaturales presentes en el universo de las creen- cias de los pueblos andinos. Crea su categoría propia, autónoma, que genéticamente radica tanto en la realidad histórica de las primeras décadas de la conquista, como en la mitología autóctona. Constituye una conceptualización y visualización de la trauma cultural muy profunda y fruto de su tratamiento sicológico que ha atribuido una cara y una fi gura a las amenazas existenciales nuevas. El temor ante lo desconocido implicaría un estado de desamparo y, en cambio, el temor ante un enemigo conocido permite elaborar una estrategia de defensa. En la mitología milenarista andina del periodo siguiente a la Conquista el pishtaco apareció como una fi gura simbólica personalizando al enemigo que va a desa- parecer solo cuando se reaviva el imperio Inca idealizado. El pishtaco no viene dotado de una sola cara o un solo aspecto. En los últimos 500 años aparecía llevando vestido de convento, del hacendado cruel, de un soldado, de un médico o cualquiera otro a quien los campesinos hubiesen reconocido como „ajeno”. Las visualizaciones más antiguas que se han descrito ya en el siglo XVI siguen siendo vivas y le suceden, sobreponiéndose a ellas, las visualizaciones siguientes, creadas más tarde.
