Promoting Sustainable Rural Development in the Ccapi District, Peru. Diploma Thesis. Brno, 2015 This diploma thesis presents and analyses the possibilities of promoting sustainable rural development in the Ccapi District, Cusco Region in Peru. The aim of the thesis is to propose a development project which contributes to an increase in economic, environmental and social opportunities for the poor and improvement in standard of living of the local communities with regard to their cultural values. The project is designed in response to the major causes of poverty and environmental degradation in the rural Andean areas of the Ccapi District. Based on results obtained from the literature, field survey, and semi-structured interviews with the local families and authorities, the paper analyses the initial situation and proposes a set of innovations which should be adopted by the vast majority of the residents living in the communities and therefore should contribute to the sustainable rural development. At the end, concrete results of the implemented project are presented and recommendations for further research in the area suggested. Keywords: Peru, Ccapi, sustainable rural development, poverty, sustainable agriculture, landscape potential JANÁLOVÁ, Karolína. Podpora udržitelného rozvoje venkova v okresu Ccapi, Peru. Diplomová práce. Brno, 2015 Tato diplomová práce prezentuje a analyzuje možnosti podpory udržitelného rozvoje venkova v okresu Ccapi v regionu Cusco v Peru. Cílem práce je vytvořit projekt, který přispívá ke zvýšení hospodářských, environmentálních a sociálních příležitostí pro chudé a zlepšení životní úrovně v místních komunitách s ohledem na jejich kulturní hodnoty. Projekt je navržen v reakci na hlavní příčiny chudoby a zhoršování životního prostředí v andských venkovských oblastech okresu Ccapi. Na základě výsledků získaných z literatury, terénního šetření a polostrukturovaných rozhovorů s místními rodinami a autoritami, práce analyzuje výchozí stav a navrhuje soubor inovací, který by měl být přijat převážnou většinou obyvatel komunit a přispět tak k udržitelnému rozvoji venkova. Na závěr jsou předloženy konkrétní výsledky realizovaného projektu a navržena doporučení pro další výzkum v této oblasti.

    Law and Peasant Communities in Peru (1969-1988)

    S201 In 951 1995-09-11 Law and Peasant Communities in Peru (1969-1988) Pedro Germán Nunez Palomino STELLINGEN 1. The legalisation process shows the complex relationship between State law and Andean law within a local space. 2. The first studies of Andean reality showed that a ingenuous and benelovent phantasy has no solid support (Castro Pozo 1973). 3. Obtaining legal recognition influences the strengthening of communal organisation and authority among the comuneros themselves and towards outsiders (this thesis). 4. The Dutch winter is favourable for working at home during the evenings. But one misses the summer! 5. The idea of a homogeneous reality very strongly prejudices intellectual discourse about communities (this thesis). 6. For some scholars, a legal system can be found in State institutions as well as in non-State ones. Factories, corporations, universities, popular organisations, peasant communities, are all involved in creating law (Griffiths 1986; Santos 1977; K. von Benda-Beckmann 1991; Merry 1988). 7. The idea that law is an instrument to overpower Indian groups in Latin America is a generalization which not always has an empirical basis. 8. A legal system can be found in State institutions as well as in non-state ones. Nevertheless, State law has a great strength in influencing the semi-autonomous social fields of a given society (Moore 1973). 9. With respect to law peasants identify themselves, with their Andean rules, procedures, sanctions and decisions. When one of their institutions becomes old fashioned, they just change it. 10. The term "community" denotes different realities, and is used by various social protagonists with different meanings.

    Dispossession, Depletion, and the Reproduction of Colonial Relations Through Transnational Mining in the Peruvian Andes

    “Abandoned in every sense”: Dispossession, Depletion, and the Reproduction of Colonial Relations through Transnational Mining in the Peruvian Andes by Min Kue Philip Son A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography and Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Min Kue Philip Son 2019 “Abandoned in every sense”: Dispossession, Depletion, and the Reproduction of Colonial Relations through Transnational Mining in the Peruvian Andes Min Kue Philip Son Master of Arts Department of Geography and Planning University of Toronto 2019 Abstract In 2016, the ten indigenous campesino communities of the district of Chamaca, Peru temporarily seized a copper mine owned and operated by a transnational mining company, HudBay Minerals. To understand such mining conflicts in Chamaca, this thesis examines how colonial logics and power relations underpin contemporary development policies of the Peruvian state. In particular, I analyze how the historical entanglements of race, indigenous land tenure and labor, and mining inform contemporary extractivist policies. Drawing on three months of ethnographic research, I argue that the HudBay mining enclosure, justified by such policies, reproduces the colonial power structure in three ways: through 1) dispossessions that deplete indigenous social reproduction; 2) the entrenchment of the colonial gender system; 3) state and corporate legal abandonment that recreates hacienda-indigenous relations. “Abandonadas en todo sentido”: Desposesión, Agotamiento, y la Reproducción de las Relaciones Coloniales por la Minería Transnacional en los Andes del Perú Min Kue Philip Son Magister Departamento de Geografía y Urbanismo Universidad de Toronto 2019 Resumen En 2016, las diez comunidades campesinas originarias del distrito de Chamaca, Perú tomaron las instalaciones de la minera transnacional—HudBay Minerals—por cuatro días.

  • Religious Murals of Colonial Peru

    Religious Murals of Colonial Peru

    Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) Collection - Painting Beyond the Frame: Religious Murals of Colonial Peru Ananda Cohen-Suarez Fig. 1 Mateo Pérez de Alesio or follower, Cupola murals, funerary chapel of Captain Bernardo Vil- legas, Church of La Merced, Lima, early 17th century. Photo by author. Mural painting was a longstanding artistic practice in the Andean region of South America, stretching back to at least the third millennium BCE. Numerous coastal cultures of Peru, including the Cupisnique, Moche, and Chimú civilizations, produced stunning polychrome murals that decorated both the interiors and exteriors of religious temples and residences. Their iconography was diverse, including mythological scenes, representations of deities, and sacrificial rituals. Fewer mural remains are found at highland sites due to preservation issues, but traces of mural decoration can be found at the pre-Columbian sites of Raqchi and Quispiguanca, among others. Mural paintings frequently possessed iconographic and stylistic resemblances to portable media such as ceramics, textiles, and metalwork. These large-scale public works of art broadcast religious ideologies, mythologies, and cultural values to their constituents, serving as an important conduit for the transmission of knowledge and belief systems. Conversations: An Online Journal of the Center for the Study of Material and Visual Cultures of Religion (mavcor.yale.edu) With the Spanish invasion and colonization of Peru in the 1530s, the visual arts played an integral role in the religious indoctrination of indigenous and Afro-descendant communities to Catholicism. Mural painting in particular became a favored medium in early evangelization efforts because of its relatively low cost and shorter execution time in comparison to multimedia pieces such as retablos (altarpieces) and polychrome sculptures.

    The Essence of the Inka: an Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Saqsawaman Landscape

    The Essence of the Inka: An Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Saqsawaman Landscape Justin A. Anspach Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Justin A. Anspach All rights reserved Abstract The Essence of the Inka: An Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Saqsawaman Landscape Justin A. Anspach This dissertation presents an interdisciplinary research project studying Inka engagement with the heavily modified ritual landscape of the 3000 hectare Saqsawaman Archaeological Park, located just north of the former imperial capital of Cuzco. First, through a close reading of cosmogenesis narratives, and a careful application of ethnographic comparison, I examine the nature of actors and agency in Andean and Inka thought and practice. Specifically, I bring up five themes - vitality, communication, identity, complementarity, and positioning - that are prevalent in Andean cosmology and that were therefore capitalized on in the built landscapes of the Inka. While prior research has focused on Inka stonework, I argue that it is the combination of stone with other elements - most notably water and the subterranean - that allows the most symbolically powerful deployment of landscape in epistemology and cosmology. This argument is supported by an archaeological examination that uses survey and GIS techniques to map the Inka efforts at landscape manipulation in Saqsawaman. The results show that the Inka focused their efforts on areas where a combination of stone and water, along with subterranean access and viewsheds of sacred landscape, allowed for a more symbolically rich engagement with their universe. The ethnographic research and the survey together show that while stone was an important and enduring element in Andean belief systems, it is actually water which was the most important element of the ritual practice that sustained the cosmological universe.
