Tradición oral, ritualidad y ordenamiento del paisaje en una comunidad de Nor Lípez (Potosí, Bolivia) Francisco M. GIL GARCÍA Universidad Complutense de Madrid Dpto. Historia de América II (Antropología de América) [email protected] Recibido: 9 de noviembre de 2007 Aceptado: 15 de noviembre de 2007 RESUME Este trabajo presenta una etnografía de los dos cerros tutelares de una comunidad de Nor Lípez (Potosí, Bolivia), atendiendo a su protagonismo en la tradición oral y en el ordenamiento del paisaje. En primer lugar se analizan distintos relatos que hablan del que denominaré «paisajismo mítico» de ambos cerros, remonta- do a un tiempo inmemorial y en relación con la civilización por parte del Inca de un paisaje antropomorfiza- do y en conflicto. Seguidamente, considerando las implicaciones espaciales del ritual de llamado de lluvia que anualmente se celebra en esta comunidad, se apuntan diferentes líneas a partir de las cuales defino la «ritualidad paisajística» desplegada en torno a estos dos cerros. Palabras clave: Nor Lípez, cerros, tradición oral, ritual, ordenamiento del paisaje. In the shade of the mallkus. Oral tradition, rituality, and landscape management in a community of or Lipez (Potosi, Bolivia) ABSTRACT This paper shows an ethnography of the two mountains guardians of a community in Nor Lipez (Potosi, Bolivia), paying attention to their prominence in oral tradition and landscape management. First of all, I analyse a group of tails about those I will call «mythic landscape» of this two both mountains, dated from an immemorial time and related to an Inca civilizing an anthropomorphic landscape in conflict. -

French, Supervisor ___________________________ Jocelyn H. Olcott ___________________________ Peter Sigal ___________________________ Orin Starn ___________________________ Dirk Bönker An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2012 Copyright by Elizabeth Shesko 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines the trajectory of military conscription in Bolivia from Liberals’ imposition of this obligation after coming to power in 1899 to the eve of revolution in 1952. Conscription is an ideal fulcrum for understanding the changing balance between state and society because it was central to their relationship during this period. The lens of military service thus alters our understandings of methods of rule, practices of authority, and ideas about citizenship in and belonging to the Bolivian nation. In eliminating the possibility of purchasing replacements and exemptions for tribute-paying Indians, Liberals brought into the barracks both literate men who were formal citizens and the non-citizens who made up the vast majority of the population. -

Geological Study on the Polymetallic Ore Deposits in the Potosi District, Bolivia
GEOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE POLYMETALLIC ORE DEPOSITS IN THE POTOSI DISTRICT, BOLIVIA ASAHIKO SUGAKI, HIROTOMO DENO, NOBUTAKA SHIMADA, ISAO KUSACHI, ARASHI KITAKAZE, KENICHIRO HAYASHI, SHOJI KOJIMA and ORLANDO SANJINES V. ABSTRACT The Potosi district located at central portion in the metallic mineralization belt of the eastern cordillera of bolivian Andes is composed of the Ordovician, Silurian, Cretaceous and Tertiary systems with some igneous intrusions, such as granite and dacite etc. There are many polymetallic ore deposits of hydrothermal fissure filling type in the district. They occur in Ordovician slate, and Miocene dacitic pyroclastics such as tuff and tuff breccia, and dacite stock, and are composed of polymetallic ore minerals such as sphalerite, pyrite, galena, cassiterite, wolframite, chalcopyrite, stannite, tetrahedrite, stibnite, bis muthinite, fizelyite, semseyite, pyrargyrite and boulangerite etc. and gangue minerals such ....as tourmaline, quartz, alunite, kaoline, sericite and siderite etc. The ore veins form banding as seen in the Potosi mine. In this case cassiterite occurs as thin crustified band crystallized after principal pyrite mineralization at early stage. It associates intimately with pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, stannite and arsenopyrite etc. Silver bearing minerals such as fizelyite, pyrargyrite, semseyite, boulangerite, tetrahedrite appear in close association with galena, sphalerite, pyrite and jamesonite etc., and are produced in general at the middle stage of the mineralization. Stibnite from the Caracota mine occurs in massive form, granular aggregate and acicular crystals. It is quite noteworthy that the paragenesis of stibnite and ferberite is found in a druse of quartz in the vein. In this case, acicular crystals of stibnite overgrow on tabular crystals of ferberite, and sometimes stibnite needles stick vertically into a crystal face of ferberite. -

Mineral deposits associated with Neogene-Quaternary volcanic centers in the central Andes....................... 8A ABSTRACT Eruptive centers, which include calderas, stratovolcanos, and flow-dome complexes in the Neogene-Quaternary volcanic complex of the central Andean region of northwestern Argentina, western Boliva, northern Chile, and southern Peru, are potential targets for hydrothermal mineral deposits. This volcanic complex, consisting chiefly of rhyolitic ash-flow tuffs and andesitic lavas, p p extends over an area of about 300,000 knr within a 1,000,000 km area that is one of the world's great mineral provinces. Because many deposits of Cu, Pb, Zn, Sn, W, Sb, Bi, Ag, and Au in this area are of pre-Pliocene age, it had been believed that most of the Neogene-Quaternary volcanic rocks represented post-mineralization cover. -

Die Region war 2017 ein wichtiger Teil der weltweiten Bergbautätigkeit. Bisher wurden drei Hauptlagerstätten identifiziert und untersucht: 1) Porphyr-Lagerstätten, die sich von Zentralchile und Argentinien bis Bolivien und Nord-Peru erstrecken; 2) Eisenoxid-Kupfer-Gold-Lagerstätten (IOCG), die sich von Zentralperu bis Zentralchile ausdehnen, sowie 3) polymetallische epithermale Zinnlagerstätten, die sich von Südperu bis nach Nordargentinien erstrecken und einen Großteil der Lagerstätten des bolivianischen Zinngürtels (Bolivian Tin Belt - BTB) bilden. Lagerstätten im BTB können in zwei Haupttypen unterteilt werden: (1) polymetallische Lagerstätten aus Zinn-Wolfram-Zink im Zusammenhang mit Plutonen und (2) polymetallische Zinn-Silber-Blei-zink Anlagerungen in epithermalen gangförmigen Lagerstätten. Mina Pirquitas ist eine epithermale Zinn-Silber-Blei-Zink-Polymetallvenenlagerstätte im Nordwesten Argentiniens, die früher eine der wichtigsten Zinnsilber-Mine meines Landes war. -
