Huanaquiri Tuisima, Arnaldo Huanaquiri Tuisima, Alicia Huanío Cabudivo, and Lino Huanío Cabudivo. We owe an important debt to Catherine Clark, Edinson Huamancayo Curi, and Brianna Grohman, who carried out exploratory fieldwork in 2003, 2004, and 2006, re- spectively, under the direction of Lev Michael and Christine Beier, with funding from Cabeceras Aid Project. We are grateful to our colleagues in the ongoing documentation and description of Omagua: Clare Sandy, Tammy Stark, and Vivian Wauters. The current phase of the Omagua doc- umentation project began in 2009 with the digitization, parsing, and grammatical analysis of an ∼100,000-word text corpus, in which Marc Januta and Teresa McFarland also played essential roles. Field-based documentation was carried out in 2010, 2011, and 2013 with funding from the National Science Foundation’s Documenting Endangered Languages.

  • Dietary Restrictions in Healing Among Speakers of Iquito, an Endangered Language of the Peruvian Amazon Kevin a Jernigan
    Jernigan Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2011, 7:20 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/7/1/20 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Dietary restrictions in healing among speakers of Iquito, an endangered language of the Peruvian Amazon Kevin A Jernigan Abstract Background: Ethnobotanical research was carried out with speakers of Iquito, a critically endangered Amazonian language of the Zaparoan family. The study focused on the concept of “dieting” (siyan++ni in Iquito), a practice involving prohibitions considered necessary to the healing process. These restrictions include: 1) foods and activities that can exacerbate illness, 2) environmental influences that conflict with some methods of healing (e.g. steam baths or enemas) and 3) foods and activities forbidden by the spirits of certain powerful medicinal plants. The study tested the following hypotheses: H1 - Each restriction will correlate with specific elements in illness explanatory models and H2 - Illnesses whose explanatory models have personalistic elements will show a greater number and variety of restrictions than those based on naturalistic reasoning. Methods: The work was carried out in 2009 and 2010 in the Alto Nanay region of Peru. In structured interviews, informants gave explanatory models for illness categories, including etiologies, pathophysiologies, treatments and dietary restrictions necessary for 49 illnesses. Seventeen botanical vouchers for species said to have powerful spirits that require diets were also collected. Results: All restrictions found correspond to some aspect of illness explanatory models. Thirty-five percent match up with specific illness etiologies, 53% correspond to particular pathophysiologies, 18% correspond with overall seriousness of the illness and 18% are only found with particular forms of treatment.

  • Zaparoan Negation Revisited1 Negação Em Záparo Revisitada Johan Van Der Auwera 2 Olga Krasnoukhova3
    Artigos • Articles Zaparoan negation revisited1 Negação em Záparo revisitada Johan van der Auwera 2 Olga Krasnoukhova3 DOI 10.26512/rbla.v11i02.27300 Recebido em setembro/2019 e aceito em outubro/2019. Abstract The paper revisits negation in the Zaparoan languages Arabela, Iquito and Záparo. For Iquito, which exhibits single, double as well as triple negation, we adopt a Jespersen Cycle perspective and for Záparo and Arabela it is the Negative Existential Cycle which proves enlightening. We speculate that both in Iquito and Záparo there is a diachronic link between the formal expression of negation and the concept of ‘leaving’. We address the internal subclassification of the Zaparoan languages, showing that, at least for the structural feature of negation, the position of Arabela is closer to Záparo than to Iquito. Key words: Zaparoan. Standard negation. Existential negation. Prohibitives. Jespersen Cycle. Negative Existential Cycle. Resumo O artigo revisita a negação nas línguas Záparo Arabela, Iquito e Záparo. Para Iquito, que exibe negação única, dupla e tripla, adotamos a perspectiva do Ciclo de Jespersen e, para Záparo e Arabela, é o Ciclo Existencial Negativo que se mostra esclarecedor. Hipotetizamos que tanto em Iquito quanto em Záparo existe um vínculo diacrônico entre a expressão 1 This paper emanates from a larger project on the typology of negation in the indigenous languages of South America, supported by the Research Foundation Flanders. We are grateful to Joshua Birchall (Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi, Belém), Cynthia Hansen (Grinnell College, Iowa), and Lev Michael (UC Berkeley) for comments on earlier versions of the paper.

    Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Dr. Rodrigo Moreno Gutiérrez Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas Colegio de Historia [email protected] Semestre 2019-2 Título de la asignatura: INDEPENDENCIAS IBEROAMERICANAS 2 Área: Conocimiento Histórico Subárea: 2. Historia universal moderna y contemporánea Créditos: 4 Número de horas: 30 Justificación El proceso histórico de las independencias en Iberoamérica entraña las claves para entender la modernidad política, esa manera distinta de ver el mundo, el poder y las relaciones entabladas entre grupos y entre individuos. Adentrarse en la comprensión de dicho proceso implica desprenderse de las interpretaciones teleológicas y nacionalistas, alejarse del empeño por encumbrar momentos fundacionales y, por el contrario, recuperar la complejidad y contingencia del fascinante proceso que transformó los fundamentos del orden político vigente hasta entonces. En ese entendido, el curso propone abordar las independencias como la dificultosa y azarosa formación de entidades políticas de diversa índole, producto (y no consecuencia) de la crisis de las monarquías absolutas y de sus principios de poder. Por otra parte, el conocimiento básico de las realidades históricas hispanoamericanas (además de la española y la lusobrasileña) constituye en nuestros días un elemento insoslayable de la formación del historiador mexicano. La omisión o ignorancia del mundo hispánico y de sus procesos revolucionarios sólo puede restarle al humanista capacidad crítica. Objetivos El curso anual busca dotar al alumno del conocimiento básico del proceso histórico revolucionario hispanoamericano a través las más recientes interpretaciones. Propone, a través de las perspectivas de la renovada historiografía política, la comprensión de los procesos de fragmentación y descomposición de las monarquías ibéricas y de la formación de los estados nacionales en el mundo hispánico, con particular énfasis en la cultura política que los hizo posibles.

  • Preliminary Correspondences and the Status of Omurano
    On Záparoan as a valid genetic unity: Preliminary correspondences and the status of Omurano Fernando O. de Carvalho1 Abstract The Záparoan linguistic family has been so far acknowledged as constituting a genetic group only on the basis of lexical similarity and grammatical parallels. We present here a preliminary statement of recurring sound correspondences holding among the basic lexical and grammatical vocabularies of three languages usually seen as belonging into the Záparoan family: Iquito, Arabela and Záparo. Though still a preliminary effort towards a more complete understanding of the history of this group, this is enough to gain some insight into the sound changes that have acted in the diversification of these languages from their putative common ancestor and to qualify the claims concerning the Záparoan affiliation of a fourth language, Omurano, our conclusion being that no evidence for this hypothesis exists. Keywords: Záparoan languages. Reconstruction. Comparative Method. Resumo A família linguística Záparo é reconhecida como tal, até o momento, com base somente em similaridades lexicais e alguns paralelos gramaticais. Apresentamos aqui um conjunto de correspondências sonoras regulares encontradas nos vocabulários lexicais e em itens gramaticais das três línguas usualmente apontadas como constituindo essa família: o Iquito, o Arabela e o Záparo. Embora este seja ainda um esforço preliminar em direção a uma caracterização mais completa da história dessa família, há fundamentos mais do que suficientes para avançar a nossa compreensão das mudanças sonoras que atuaram na diversificação dessas línguas a partir do seu ancestral comum e para qualificar afirmações presentes na literatura acerca da filiação de uma quarta língua à família Záparo, o Omurano.

  • Toward an Understanding of the Cultural Transformations of the Secoya and an Interactive Approach to Sustainable Development at Siecoya Remolino
    TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CULTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE SECOYA AND AN INTERACTIVE APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT SIECOYA REMOLINO A Professional Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University and the Yanapuma Foundation in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Public Administration by Justine Faye Oller May 2008 ©2008 Justine Faye Oller Introduction This project is a culmination of the author’s work with the Ecuadorian NGO, Fundación Yanapuma or the Yanapuma Foundation, during the summer of 2007. In addition, it is the result of the author’s extensive research conducted over the past year into the economic, social and political conditions that have affected and shaped the development experience of an indigenous group located in Ecuador’s lower Amazon basin, the Secoya Nation. In the summer of 2007, the author had the opportunity to travel to Siecoya Remolino, a community of indigenous Secoyas, to live for a time with the community located there. Much of the information presented in this report is the result of the author’s interviews with Secoyas at Remolino. Information regarding projects currently underway in the community is the result of both interviews with community members and site visits to various project locations. The author’s work was performed on behalf of the Secoya community at Remolino and the Yanapuma foundation, which has recently begun to work with the community in support of the community’s effort toward preserving their culture through sustainable development. The Yanapuma Foundation is a nongovernmental organization founded in Ecuador in September of 2005.
