PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES “Identidad Y Cultura Austroalemana En Pozuzo: La Rela PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES “Identidad y cultura austroalemana en Pozuzo: la relación entre instituciones culturales y la diversidad étnica” Tesis para optar el título de licenciada en Antropología que presenta: Brenda Meneses Carrión Asesor: Oscar Espinosa de Rivero Diciembre del 2015 “Identidad y cultura austroalemana en Pozuzo: la relación entre instituciones culturales y la diversidad étnica” El presente trabajo de investigación busca conocer y entender cómo las instituciones culturales presentes en Pozuzo se encargan de promover una narrativa de identidad de grupo basada en la cultura austroalemana y cómo las valoraciones que surgen a partir de esta identidad, influyen en las relaciones o dinámicas sociales con los pozucinos locales (no descendientes) en la actualidad. Entre los principales hallazgos se obtuvo que existen en Pozuzo diversas instituciones culturales encargadas de promover y crear un sentido de pertenencia a la cultura austroalemana con el fin de conmemorar a los colonos y así asegurar que esta cultura no se extinga. Esta motivación se solidifica en tanto gran parte de los descendientes austroalemanes – y de los responsables de dirigir las instituciones culturales en general – sienten que la presencia de la cultura austroalemana es cada vez menor debido a la numerosa presencia de pozucinos no descendientes. En la actualidad Pozuzo se compone no solo por los descendientes de los colonos sino también por personas provenientes de diversos puntos, en su mayoría de las zonas altoandinas, quienes no se ven representadas en los espacios de estas instituciones culturales. En gran medida, la exaltación únicamente de las manifestaciones austroalemanas recae en la instrumentalización de esta cultura como un recurso rentable en el país debido a su singularidad, esto se visualiza a través de la oferta turística que ofrece el distrito en donde se exalta esta cultura (y no la altoadina, por ejemplo) como fuente para atraer al turista, lo que genera oportunidades desiguales de acceso y explotación de este recurso entre ambos grupos étnicos. A partir de esta oferta turística, que refuerza la identidad de los descendientes, podemos ver cómo se revela la convivencia en otras esferas de la vida social de Pozuzo: la economía y la política, en donde no sólo se siguen evidenciando 1 desigualidades sino también tensiones irresueltas generadas por el acceso histótricamente diferenciado a tierras, bienes y servicios. En ese sentido, pensar en el término de "identidad pozucina" tendría que implicar tener en cuenta la presencia de todos los grupos étnicos que conviven en Pozuzo en la actualidad (y no solo exaltar la presencia de uno de ellos) para así conocer cuál es el rol que tienen, tantos los descendientes como los no descendientes de austroalemanes, en las diversas esferas sociales que regulan la convivencia. 2 INDICE CAPÍTULO I: INTRODUCCIÓN ............................................................................................... 7 CAPÍTULO II: DISEÑO METODOLÓGICO

  • Localized Agrifood Systems Dynamics and Geographical Indications As Ways to Reinforce Food Systems’ Sustainability? Case Studies in Mongolia and Peru
    Theme 5 – Sustainable agrifood systems, value chains and power structures Localized AgriFood Systems dynamics and Geographical Indications as ways to reinforce food systems’ sustainability? Case studies in Mongolia and Peru Stéphane Fourniera, Blandine Arvisb, Fanny Michaudb a Innovation, Montpellier SupAgro, Inra, Cirad, Univ Montpellier, France, [email protected] b Montpellier SupAgro, [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Localised AgriFood Systems (LAFS), particularly when they are reinforced by a Geographical Indication (GI) registration system, are seen as a sustainable model of production and trade. This paper interrogates this assertion. Seeking the bases of LAFS and GI sustainability, it examines their appearance and continuation throughout their development trajectory, first theoretically, then thanks to two case studies (“Villa Rica coffee” in Peru and “Uvs Seabuckthorn” in Mongolia). Theoretically, LAFS ability to induce a sustainable trajectory for local resources’ valorization is established. Different types of proximities, an institutionalization process and territorial solidarity may help overcome collective action blockages and contribute to constructing an innovation system, providing that local actors may interact with the system’s external environment. Clear threats appear however during LAFS expansion, as proximities and coordination capacity are necessarily reduced, whereas increase in production may induce a stronger competition. GI could then appear as the solution, being able to delimit production area and to reinforce local organizations within it. Put to the test, this model appears quite strong during the initial phases of LAFS development, but doesn’t capture the interactions between LAFS and the other production and trade models coexisting in the food systems. LAFS and GI, which need a strong producers’ involvement, are permanently challenged by other models in which producers can engage themselves individually (private brands, organic production, niche markets…).

Perhaps others are working on it; perhaps nothing will come of it.... ——Sigmund Freud, Letter of 21 Apr. 18841 INTRODUCTION In recent years, Latin American history has been awash in an exciting wave of scholarship on the history of science and medicine. Historians are exploring Latin American reactions to foreign medical, sanitary and scientific missions; the creation of national research institutions; the impact of epidemics on con- ceptions of urban space, politics and social control; the role of indigenous and folk cures in modern public health campaigns; and the relation of trans- national eugenics movements to national anxieties about race, among other fertile topics.2 Pioneering medical historian Marcos Cueto dubs this focus Acknowledgments: Let me thank the Wilson Center, in Washington, D.C., where I first researched this topic from 1999 to 2000, as well as librarians at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, the New York Academy of Medicine, and San Marcos School of Medicine in Lima for rare docu- ments. Marcos Cueto, Isaac Campos, Martı´n Monsalve, and Amy Chazkel commented on an earlier draft, as did participants at the New School University’s “Workshop in Latin American Economics, Society and Culture” in February 2006, especially Paul Ross.

  • Gootenberg Between Coca and Cocaine.Pdf
    Between Coca and Cocaine: A Century or More of U.S.-Peruvian Drug Paradoxes, 1860–1980 Paul Gootenberg Cocaine has a long and mostly forgotten history, which more often than not over the past century has revolved around relationships between the United States and the Andean republic of Peru.1 This essay examines that U.S.- Peruvian axis, through three long historical arcs or processes that preceded— and in some sense inform—the hemispheric “drug wars” of the past twenty years. For each stage, I will focus on the changing U.S. influences, signals, or designs around Andean coca and cocaine, the global contexts and competing cocaine circuits that mediated those transnational forces and flows, and the notably dynamic Peruvian responses to North American drug challenges. Each period left its legacies, and paradoxes, for cocaine’s progressive definition as a global, illicit, and menacing drug. This is mainly a synthetic essay, trying to make sense of a vast body of new research in international archives—but the history of drugs also makes fertile I thank the Wilson Center, especially its Latin American Program, for their tolerance, hospitality and largesse during writing; Julio Cotler (Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, Lima) for his commentary; Gil Joseph and two anonymous HAHR readers; and colleagues and helpers in the larger research project behind this essay. And our new son, Danyal Natan Sainz-Gootenberg (b. 1/2000), for allowing some needed sleep to put this all together. 1.
