Discovering Colombia 24 February – 8 March 2020 DISCOVERING COLOMBIA 24 FEBRUARY – 8 MARCH 2020 FROM £4,690 PER PERSON Tour Leaders: Robin & Louella Hanbury-Tenison PICTURESQUE CITIES AND LUSH LANDSCAPES Colombia still lies largely undiscovered, but with direct flights with Avianca from London to Bogotá, now is the time to visit. Our tour starts in the thriving modern and affluent city of Bogotá where we explore the historic centre known as La Candelaria with its old casonas or grand colonial Spanish houses with iron windows, thick wooden doors, balconies and internal patios that hide beautiful gardens. From here we travel, via the impressive salt cathedral at Zipaquirá, to the village of Villa de Leyva, one of the most beautiful colonial towns in the area which was founded in 1572 and declared a national monument in 1954. We continue to Pereira in the Coffee Region, where there is a day trip to the Valle de Cocora to see the amazing wax palm trees that can reach a height of 60m and the neighbouring towns of Salento and Filandia. We also see one of the plantations set on the steep hills which are typical of this area. We then travel to Santa Marta which is our base from which to dip into the Tayrona National Park, with its 37,000 acres of lush mountain landscape in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and perfect sandy beaches. We also undertake a day’s excursion into the foothills to visit a community of the Kogi, descendants of the Tairona culture who flourished before the Spanish conquest. We will meet one of their priests, known as Mamo, who rarely interact with the modern world in order to preserve their traditional way of life. Our journey ends in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cartagena de las Indias, built within the largest fortifications in the Americas to protect it from the constant attack of pirates and buccaneers, and explore the city’s picturesque streets and plazas and wealth of 16th- and 17th-century buildings and churches.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Three Faces of Justice: Legal Traditions, Legal Transplants, and Customary Justice in a Multicultural World
    THE THREE FACES OF JUSTICE: LEGAL TRADITIONS, LEGAL TRANSPLANTS, AND CUSTOMARY JUSTICE IN A MULTICULTURAL WORLD by JUAN CARLOS BOTERO A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) at the Georgetown University Law Center 2013 i Copyright by Juan Carlos Botero 2013 ii Abstract This research explores the institutional and procedural architecture that enables or limits access to formal and informal dispute settlement mechanisms to resolve simple disputes among individuals in developing countries. The central argument is that the urban poor (including newly arrived migrant peasants and members of indigenous communities) in developing countries, are unable to keep their traditions and ancestral dispute settlement mechanisms alive in big cities, while they are also unable to understand and utilize what to them are abstruse legal procedures of the formal courts. A proposal is made at the end of the dissertation, which includes a novel conceptual framework to analyze the problem of deficient delivery of justice (formal and customary) to the urban poor, and a methodology to quantify the multiple dimensions of the same problem in low and middle-income countries throughout the world. The contribution of this work is: first, a new conceptual framework for the comparative analysis of formal and informal justice in developed and developing countries. Second, to expand knowledge on the uneasy interaction among legal traditions, legal transplants and customary justice in the multicultural world of the XXI century. Third, a descriptive analysis of a chronic problem which affects billions of people, i.e., the lack of effective access to justice (formal or customary) for the urban poor in low and middle-income countries.

  • The Poetics of Indigenous Radio in Colombia Clemencia Rodríguez1 UNIVERSITY of OKLAHOMA Jeanine El Gazi MINISTRY of CULTURE,COLOMBIA
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SHAREOK repository The poetics of indigenous radio in Colombia Clemencia Rodríguez1 UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA Jeanine El Gazi MINISTRY OF CULTURE,COLOMBIA In 2002, 14 indigenous radio stations began operating in Colombia, reaching 78.6 percent of the national indigenous population (Ministerio de Cultura, 2002: 10). In this article we intend to shed light on the complex relationships and interactions behind Colombian indigenous radio stations. Colombian indigenous radio can only be understood as a product of intricate relation- ships between indigenous social movements, armed conflict, the state and media activism. In the following pages we will explain how Colombian indigenous peoples articulate a strong and highly developed response toward the presence of media technologies among their communities. This response is framed by new legislative frameworks made possible by the constitutional reform of 1991, by indigenous peoples’ critique of Colombian mainstream media and, finally, by discussions among indigenous peoples about the adop- tion of radio – what we call a poetics of radio. The data for this article comes mostly from unpublished documents, archives and recordings kept at the Ministry of Culture (Unidad de Radio/Office of Radio). The Colombian indigenous population is 708,000; despite the fact that they constitute less than 2 percent of the national population and include more than 80 different ethnic groups with their corresponding languages, widely scat- tered across a rough terrain, indigenous people have both captured and repre- sented some of the most significant notions in Colombia’s modern political arena.2 Colombian indigenous people have played a remarkable role in the political consciousness and imaginaries in contemporary Colombia.

Now, two decades later and convinced that their message has gone unheeded, the next generation of Kogi are reaching out to the world once more with a much more specific warning about the future of the planet. Full Synopsis Twenty years ago Alan Ereira’s influential television film From The Heart of the World: The Elder Brothers’ Warning, brought gloBal attention to the Kogi people of ColomBia - a remote and ancient South American civilization - who were determined to caution us aBout environmental damage to the earth. A true ‘lost civilization’, who regard themselves as the guardians of the earth, the Kogi once traded with the Mayans and Aztecs. They survived the Spanish conquests By retreating into their isolated mountain massif, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Having remained hidden for centuries, the Kogi surfaced in Ereira’s 1990 film with an environmental message that was ahead of its time, a warning about how we, their ‘younger brother’, were destroying the ecosystem by plunder. But the Kogi have continued to see frightening changes to their homeland as highways and power plants spring up and glacial melt, ferocious storms, landslides, floods, droughts and deforestation continue to take their toll. 2 www.alunathemovie.com The Kogi maintain that their warning was rooted in their own scientific knowledge.
