  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate Names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri
    1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): MPD 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): The traditional homeland of the Manchineri was on the Purus River (Lat. 9 degrees south, longitude 69-71 degrees west (14). Modern Manchineri occupy an area in the southern region of the state of Acre as well as scattered points in both Peru and Bolivia. In Brazil, the Manchineri are largely confined to the Mamoadate Indigenous Territory and the Guanabara Seringal (Rubber Extraction Area) with smaller populations living along the São Francisco and Macauã rivers, and in the city of Assis Brasil.(1) The Mamoadate Indigenous Territory is 313,647 ha in size and located next to the Iaco river (whose headwaters are found in Peru), beginning at the Mamoadate creek and extending as far as Brazil’s border with Peru (1). 1.4 Brief history: Linguistically they are related to the Piro. Nineteenth century explorer Antônio Loureiro identified the Manchineri as natural inhabitants of the Macauã and Caiaté rivers in the 1880’s (5). Some Manchineri contradict this report, claiming that their parents and grandparents had occupied that area for a long time. 1.5 Influence of missionaries/schools/governments/powerful neighbors: Large-scale invasions of the region in the 19th century led to correrias (massacres), and pressured native populations from Peru towards Brazil (by caucho rubber extractors), and from the Amazon towards Bolivia (by rubber tappers). Natives who avoided the correrias often served the invaders, initially as guides and later as labor for rubber extraction.

  • Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis
    Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories.

    Chiquitano and the State Negotiating Identities and Indigenous Territories in Bolivia Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Katinka Weber December 2010 Abstract Chiquitano and the State: Negotiating Identities and Indigenous Territories in Bolivia 2010 by Katinka Weber This thesis analyses how Chiquitano people engage with the state and to what effect, based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out between September 2006 and August 2007 in the Bolivian Concepción, San Javier and Lomerío municipalities, in the eastern Bolivian lowlands. It focuses on the most contentious areas of Chiquitano- state relations, namely the emergence of the Chiquitano social movement, the struggle for territory and territorial autonomy and participation in the local state bureaucracy. While Chiquitano interact with the state in order to protect their socio- cultural communal reproduction, this thesis finds that in many ways the Chiquitano organisation acts as part of the state and replicates its neo-liberal multicultural rhetoric. The state remains the main shaper of forms of political engagement and collective identification (such as indigeneity), resonating with Fried’s (1967) and Scott’s (1998) notions that the state implies some sort of process, one of ‘restructuring’ and ‘making legible’. Consequently, this thesis argues that from the Chiquitano perspective, the election of Bolivia’s first indigenous president in 2005 and his radical state reform project through the 2006-2007 Constituent Assembly, has not fundamentally transformed previous patterns of indigenous-state engagement. It posits that the more successful resistance continues to reside, perhaps more subtly, in comunidades ’ socio-cultural relations.

  • Speaking of “Peter Money” and Poor Abraham: Wealth, Poverty and Consumption Among Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia
    Speaking of “Peter Money” and Poor Abraham: Wealth, Poverty and Consumption among Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia Anna Sofia Hedberg, University of Dalarna, Sweden In a sense, accumulation of wealth, valuing material goods for anything but their use value, and ridiculing poor people could be perceived as deviations from what we generally think of as Anabaptist and Mennonite ideals.1 Still, life in contemporary Mennonite colonies in Bolivia provides ample evidence that they all occur. This fact hardly surprises anyone, yet from an anthropological perspective, it does constitute an incentive to consider how such deviations harmonise and/ or disharmonise with fundamental community goals. The overall aim of this article is, thus, to illustrate how issues such as wealth and poverty, as well as consumption of material goods – and particularly members’ ways of dealing with these matters – relate to community maintenance in the Mennonite Old Colony of Durango, in Eastern Bolivia. Drawing on three periods of extensive fieldwork,2 this article builds on how people in Durango talk of poverty and wealth, and how they account for their own and others’ economic situations and choices regarding material goods. As will be shown, these accounts illustrate 88 Journal of Mennonite Studies how and why individual members’ economic situations and choices become a crucial concern for all community members. The main argument of this article is that the community members’ culturally constructed image of the past and idea of that which shall come, which is referred to here as the forthcoming,3 influence Old Colonists’ reactions to individual consumption and material goods as well as to wealth and poverty.

  • Memories and Old Colony Mennonite Identity
    “Emma jedohne”: Memories and Old Colony Mennonite Identity Karen Warkentin, Winnipeg When Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia are asked why they do things a certain way, the most common response given is ‘So ha’ wie daut emma jedohne’ (that is how we have always done it). However, while listening to their stories, it quickly becomes evident that certain past events are highlighted, indicating that they were particularly influential in shaping the Old Colony identity. Yet the question can also be turned around, and asked whether these memories are retold precisely because they fit into the cultural Old Colony identity. The Old Colony Mennonites in Bolivia emphasize the needs and identity of the collective over the individual, and as members of the group, individuals recall memories that emphasize their allegiance to the colony. In this article, I suggest a symbiosis between collective memory and cultural identity: individual Mennonites recall events that are part of their collective memory, which in turn influence the formation of the Old Colony Mennonite identity.
