No More Tears Forever : the Dynamics of Conversion to Evangelical Christianity by Bolivian Aymara NO MORE TEARS FOREVER: THE DYNAMICS OF CONVERSION TO EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANITY BY BOLIVIAN AYMARA (1941-2002) By IAN GRANVILLE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Ian Granville ACKNOWLEDGMENTS When Samuel Hopkins finished writing his Life and Character of the Late it Reverend Jonathon Edwards in 1 761 , he remarked that "Imperfect as is, it has cost me much time and labor; much more than I thought when I undertook it." I could echo him. Yet had my project been of shorter duration, I would have missed the personal enrichment of associating with a number of fine people who worked with me in bringing it to completion. It is with pleasure that I acknowledge them here. My thanks go first of all to Doris Wan-en, Samuel Joshua Smith, Fran MacNeill, and Marion Heaslip for responding to my e-mailed questionnaires with autobiographical material and accounts of their work in Bolivia. Samuel, Fran, and Marion answered me with long and detailed hand-written letters. Dons went the second mile and sent me more than 100 pages of clippings and articles and wrote many lengthy e-mails in response to my questions concerning the work of the Seminary Mission during its existence from 1941 to 1975. 1 am profoundly grateful to the four of them. Marcelino Huanca, president of the Seminario Biblico denomination for the years 2001-2002, became a close friend in the course of many (often arduous) trips to rural churches. He took an active interest in this project and granted me time during the 1 denomination's quarterly pastors meetings, so that people who were interested in my project could fill out questionnaires. My proficient and longsuffering language teachers (Maria Eugenia Urefia de Flores, Susana Zurita de Quiroga, Jaime Mejia, Wilma Rocha, Kitty Schmidt, Teresita iii Leserna, Guadalupe Griancom, and Gabriela Fernandez, the last six of whom are Catholics) brought me into a working knowledge of their beloved native language and helped me, in the course of our language lessons, to understand something of the cultures of highland Bolivia and the often painful events in the turbulent history of their country. David Walker, a minister from England who lived in Oruro for much of 2003, provided some data on the Oruro Carnival. I owe a great deal to Dr Freddy Mendez Estrada, professor of philosophy and theology at the Universidad Catolica Boliviana in Cochabamba, for his extraordinary patience and care when working with me through interminable lists of questions concerning Aymara worldview and fiestas. My wife, Annette, and I had the extreme good fortune to board with Alberto and Maria-Elena de Moscoso for 8 months while we attended language school in Cochabamba. Alberto and Maria-Elena took it upon themselves to introduce us to many aspects of Bolivian life and graciously included us in many social occasions with their extended family. From them we learned a great deal and with them we had a lot of fun. More is said of the Moscoso family in Chapter 3. I am very thankful indeed to my supervisor Dr Tony Oliver-Smith, and to Dr Manuel Vasquez, Dr Paul Magnarella, and Dr John Moore of the University of Florida, and Dr Deidre Crumbley of North Carolina State University for their encouragement and expert guidance in the course of my program of studies. Foreigners need friendship as much as anything and it is a pleasure to acknowledge the many American people whom my wife and I have befriended. The support of our friends in England and Bolivia, and our friends and family members in New Zealand and IV Australia was appreciated very much also. Those who have themselves negotiated the doctoral study rite of passage helped with practical advice and all were warmly encouraging. Gil Prost, a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators who spent 25 years with the Chacobo tribe in northern Bolivia, made helpful comments on Chapter 4. I am most fortunate among fieldworkers in having my wife share with me the joys, soitows, and sometimes dangers, of a very eventful sojourn in South America.

  • From “Invisible Natives” to an “Irruption of Indigenous Identity”? Two Decades of Change Among the Tacana in the Northern Bolivian Amazon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Sondra Wentzel provided by Institutional Repository of the Ibero-American Institute, Berlin From “invisible natives” to an “irruption of indigenous identity”? Two decades of change among the Tacana in the northern Bolivian Amazon “Al final nos dimos cuenta todos que éramos tacanas” (Tacana leader 2001, quoted in Herrera 2009: 1). 1. Introduction: The Tacana In the mid 1980s, a time of redemocratization and structural adjustment policies in Bolivia, consultations about a region suitable for field research on the situation of indigenous peoples in the context of “Amazonian development” led me to the Province of Iturralde in the lowland north of the Department of La Paz (Figure 1). The culture of its indigenous inhabitants, the Tacana,1 had been documented by German researchers in the early 1950s (Hissink & Hahn 1961; 1984). Also, under the motto La Marcha al Norte, the region was the focus of large infrastructure and agro industrial projects which had already stimulated spontaneous colonization, but local people had little information about these activities nor support to defend their rights and interests. Between 1985 and 1988, I conducted about a year of village level field re- search in the region, mainly in Tumupasa, an ex-Franciscan mission among the Tacana founded in 1713 and transferred to its current location around 1770, San- ta Ana, a mixed community founded in 1971, and 25 de Mayo, a highland colonist cooperative whose members had settled between Tumupasa and Santa Ana from 1979 1 Tacana branch of the Pano-Tacanan language family, whose other current members are the Araona, Cavineño, Ese Ejja, and Reyesano (Maropa).

A broad-sweeping Agrarian Reform followed in 1953, giving these peasants unprecedented ownership and control over the land they worked on. Th e Bolivian Revolution of 1952 also enfranchised women and those considered illiterate (a convenient proxy for campes- inos), causing a fi vefold increase in the number of people eligible to vote.

  • La Morenada: Una Mirada Desde La Perspectiva De Género
    La Morenada: una mirada desde la perspectiva de género Elizabeth del Rosario Rojas1 Universidad Nacional de Luján Argentina Introducción: La Morenada es una danza propia del área andina suramericana y se caracteriza por el uso de trajes coloridos y pasos rítmicos que al son de la música dan cuenta de la vida cotidiana. Actualmente es legado cultural de las mujeres bolivianas que habitan en Buenos Aires. El presente trabajo centra su análisis en un grupo de mujeres bolivianas que bailan Morenada en Lomas de Zamora, específicamente en el Barrio 6 de agosto. El objetivo es visibilizar La Morenada y responder a la pregunta, ¿cómo está inscripta en la memoria colectiva de las Mujeres bolivianas? Asimismo, interesa ofrecer una mirada de la danza como una práctica diaria, mezclada con la mística de agradecimiento y ofrenda a diversas vírgenes, según la petición que realizan y cómo se despliega de generación y en generación, al decir de ellas mismas, un pedacito de lo andino se traslada a esta tierra pampeana. Palabra Clave Género: es una categoría relacional, producto de la construcción social de jerarquización que se asienta en el patriarcado que toma como base la diferencia de sexos: femenino, masculino. Donde el patriarcado hace que lo masculino nomine, mande y sea quien organice esta jerarquización donde lo femenino queda subordinado en el sistema social (Amoros, 1985) Cultura: se entenderá por cultura todo aquello que se desarrolle como popular, que hace a lo simbólico material e inmaterial (creencias, saberes; prácticas; etc.) que se transmite de generación en generación, donde la reproducción se estructura conforme un orden, que es organizado desde contextos sociopolíticos, dentro de procesos históricos, que ayuda a comprender los roles de las diversas identidades sexuales (Scott, 1994) I.

  • Performing Blackness in the Danza De Caporales
    Roper, Danielle. 2019. Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales. Latin American Research Review 54(2), pp. 381–397. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.300 OTHER ARTS AND HUMANITIES Blackface at the Andean Fiesta: Performing Blackness in the Danza de Caporales Danielle Roper University of Chicago, US [email protected] This study assesses the deployment of blackface in a performance of the Danza de Caporales at La Fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria in Puno, Peru, by the performance troupe Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción. Since blackface is so widely associated with the nineteenth- century US blackface minstrel tradition, this article develops the concept of “hemispheric blackface” to expand common understandings of the form. It historicizes Sambos’ deployment of blackface within an Andean performance tradition known as the Tundique, and then traces the way multiple hemispheric performance traditions can converge in a single blackface act. It underscores the amorphous nature of blackface itself and critically assesses its role in producing anti-blackness in the performance. Este ensayo analiza el uso de “blackface” (literalmente, cara negra: término que designa el uso de maquillaje negro cubriendo un rostro de piel más pálida) en la Danza de Caporales puesta en escena por el grupo Sambos Illimani con Sentimiento y Devoción que tuvo lugar en la fiesta de la Virgen de la Candelaria en Puno, Perú. Ya que el “blackface” es frecuentemente asociado a una tradición estadounidense del siglo XIX, este artículo desarrolla el concepto de “hemispheric blackface” (cara-negra hemisférica) para dar cuenta de elementos comunes en este género escénico.

  • 3. Indigeneity in the Oruro Carnival: Official Memory, Bolivian Identity and the Politics of Recognition
    3. Indigeneity in the Oruro Carnival: official memory, Bolivian identity and the politics of recognition Ximena Córdova Oviedo ruro, Bolivia’s fifth city, established in the highlands at an altitude of almost 4,000 metres, nestles quietly most of the year among the mineral-rich mountains that were the reason for its foundation Oin 1606 as a Spanish colonial mining settlement. Between the months of November and March, its quiet buzz is transformed into a momentous crescendo of activity leading up to the region’s most renowned festival, the Oruro Carnival parade. Carnival is celebrated around February or March according to the Christian calendar and celebrations in Oruro include a four- day national public holiday, a street party with food and drink stalls, a variety of private and public rituals, and a dance parade made up of around 16,000 performers. An audience of 400,000 watches the parade (ACFO, 2000, p. 6), from paid seats along its route across the city, and it is broadcast nationally to millions more via television and the internet. During the festivities, orureños welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors from other cities in Bolivia and around the world, who arrive to witness and take part in the festival. Those who are not performing are watching, drinking, eating, taking part in water fights or dancing, often all at the same time. The event is highly regarded because of its inclusion since 2001 on the UNESCO list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and local authorities promote it for its ability to bring the nation together.

  • Miniaturas Y Cosmovisión En El Mundo Andino: Forma, Función Y Agencia
    MINIATURAS Y COSMOVISIÓN EN EL MUNDO ANDINO: FORMA, FUNCIÓN Y AGENCIA Carina Circosta Universidad de Buenos Aires Facultad de Filosofía y Letras [email protected] Palabras clave: Alasitas – Ekeko – miniaturas – agente mediador Presentación: las miniaturas en la fiesta - feria de Alasita, el ritual al Ekeko Las imágenes en miniatura se han registrado desde tiempos prehispánicos en la zona andina y en el Noroeste argentino, y son numerosas las evidencias que dan cuenta de la presencia de estos objetos en contexto ritual: fuentes coloniales, registros arqueológicos y relatos etnográficos nos hablan del “uso” de estos objetos en ceremonias domésticas, funerarias o chamánicas. No obstante, no hay sido estudiadas de manera sistemática por la historia del arte ni por la antropología. Esta presentación es parte del proyecto doctoral en el que estudio el uso y agencia de las miniaturas en la Feria de Alasitas, una fiesta del altiplano boliviano que hace más de una década se celebra también en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. La celebración de Alasitas o Fiesta del Ekeko que se realiza cada 24 de Enero es una de las prácticas culturales que se pusieron en escena en la ciudad de Buenos Aires tras la llegada de inmigrantes bolivianos identificados con las culturas quechua y aymara. El ritual al Ekeko, dios de la abundancia, se realiza desde tiempos ancestrales en la zona del altiplano andino, en la actualidad tiene su epicentro en la ciudad de La Paz y en su versión local se organiza en varios espacios de la CABA1. En esta investigación me refiero a la realizada en la wak´a del Parque Avellaneda, por tratarse de un espacio ritual y legitimador de los pueblos originarios en el ámbito urbano.
