Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html The Political Economy of Pre-Colombian Goldwork: Four Examples from Northern South America Carl Henrik Langebaek Universidad de los Andes Introduction: The Problem ome twenty years ago, Alicia Dussán de Reichel (1979: 41) complained that studies that “set out to place the prehistoric metallurgy of Colombia within a wider context Sof cultural development” were not very numerous. Despite a great deal of research on Pre-Columbian goldwork since, the same observation remains true today. One source of frustration comes from the fact that most archaeologists focus on the study of metallurgy as a goal in itself. Although researchers have produced detailed descriptions about the techno- logical characteristics of Pre-Columbian goldwork (Scott 1981), timelines, definitions of “styles” and “traditions,” as well as correlations among styles across Colombia, Lower Central America, and Ecuador (Bray 1981; 1992a; 1997; Plazas and Falchetti 1983), and identifica- tions of plant and animal species represented in ornaments (Legast 1987), they have rarely placed goldwork within a social context (Looper 1996) or incorporated it in models related to social change. Whatever improvement in the research on Pre-Columbian metal objects there has been, further progress will be limited if it is not aimed at understanding the way societies function and change (Lechtman 1984).

Indigenous populations inhabited most of these regions, and by the late-nineteenth century the Latin American states started to target them in an effort to secure national borders and consolidate territorial control. With only a few exceptions, states turned to international Christian missionary orders to help them in the “civilization” of these indigenous areas, and by the first decade of the twentieth century the missionaries were active in many of them, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego.

Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html The Seed of Life: The Symbolic Power of Gold-Copper Alloys and Metallurgical Transformations Ana María Falchetti re-Hispanic metallurgy of the Americas is known for its technical variety. Over a period of more than three thousand years, different techniques were adopted by vari- Pous Indian communities and adapted to their own cultures and beliefs. In the Central Andes, gold and silver were the predominant metals, while copper was used as a base material. Central Andeans developed an assortment of copper-based alloys. Smiths hammered copper into sheets that would later be used to create objects covered with thin coatings of gold and silver. In northern South America and the Central American isth- mus gold-copper alloys were particularly common.1 Copper metallurgy was also important in Western Mexico and farther north. Putting various local technological preferences aside, Amerindians used copper exten- sively as a base material. What then were the underlying concepts that governed the symbol- ism of copper, its combination with other metals, and particular technologies such as casting methods in Pre-Columbian Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica? Studies of physical and chemical processes are essential to a scientific approach to met- allurgy, but for a fuller understanding, technologies should not be divorced from cultural contexts.

    Periodic Report (Convention) A. General information Name of State Party Colombia Date of Ratification 2008-03-19 Question A.1 Executive summary Please provide an executive summary of the report that will allow general readers to understand the overall status of legislative, regulatory and other measures taken at the national level to implement the Convention. This should follow the organizational structure of the form. Colombia adopted the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (2003) through Law 1037 of 2006, an instrument of ratification accepted by UNESCO in 2008. Since the adoption, Colombia issued Law 1185 of 2008, which introduces intangible cultural heritage into the national legislative framework and creates the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (LRPCI) at the national level, the main instrument of inventory and registration of intangible cultural heritage in Colombia, as well as establishing the obligation of identification and safeguarding of ICH, under the leadership of the Ministry of Culture. The List is aimed at promoting the construction of Special Safeguarding Plans (PES) for relevant or at-risk elements throughout the country as instruments built in a participatory manner by the communities. The Special Safeguarding Plans contain a broad characterization of the element, diagnosis of its viability and formulation of measures to guarantee its safeguarding, which is updated periodically through a participatory review and monitoring process every 5 years. This mechanisms is regulated by Decree 1080 of 2015, modified and added by Decree 2358 of 2019. Additionally, in 2009, Colombia adopted, in compliance with the mandates of the Convention, the Safeguarding Policy for Intangible Cultural Heritage.

  • The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics
    Living the Law of Origin: The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics Falk Xué Parra Witte Downing College University of Cambridge August 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Social Anthropology Copyright © Falk Xué Parra Witte 2018 Abstract Living the Law of Origin: The Cosmological, Ontological, Epistemological, and Ecological Framework of Kogi Environmental Politics This project engages with the Kogi, an Amerindian indigenous people from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in northern Colombia. Kogi leaders have been engaging in a consistent ecological-political activism to protect the Sierra Nevada from environmentally harmful developments. More specifically, they have attempted to raise awareness and understanding among the wider public about why and how these activities are destructive according to their knowledge and relation to the world. The foreign nature of these underlying ontological understandings, statements, and practices, has created difficulties in conveying them to mainstream, scientific society. Furthermore, the pre-determined cosmological foundations of Kogi society, continuously asserted by them, present a problem to anthropology in terms of suitable analytical categories. My work aims to clarify and understand Kogi environmental activism in their own terms, aided by anthropological concepts and “Western” forms of expression. I elucidate and explain how Kogi ecology and public politics are embedded in an old, integrated, and complex way of being, knowing, and perceiving on the Sierra Nevada. I argue that theoretically this task involves taking a realist approach that recognises the Kogi’s cause as intended truth claims of practical environmental relevance. By avoiding constructivist and interpretivist approaches, as well as the recent “ontological pluralism” in anthropology, I seek to do justice to the Kogi’s own essentialist and universalist ontological principles, which also implies following their epistemological rationale.

Robles, May 2008 University of Kansas On the semi-desert Guajira Peninsula of northern Colombia, the Wayuu Indians and the arijuna (non-Wayuu) have shared a long history that includes conflict, acceptance, and exchange. Under constant assimilation forces in the city of Riohacha, Wayuu women vendors have adopted market strategies that draw them nearer to arijuna culture and society and yet enable them to reproduce a distinctive, if altered, Wayuu identity. I explore the motivations that Wayuu women have to participate daily in the market economy, and describe how commerce is both a necessity and opportunity for them. Wayuu vendors both represent and stimulate Wayuu culture and identity by selling products symbolic of their culture and broadening the notion of what it means to be Wayuu. This statement is based on findings from fieldwork at four different kinds of Wayuu marketing sites in Riohacha. In the tradition of economic anthropology, I compare my findings with other case studies of indigenous marketing in Latin America to better understand the regional patterns as they relate to the Wayuu.
