Se detiene en la forma como estas mujeres producen la alimentación mediante distintas tácticas que revelan su capacidad de acción en la vida cotidiana y su contribución a la reproducción física y cultural camëntá. Para ello, presento las formas de clasificación y las formas de obtención y consumo de algunos alimentos como las sopas, que ocupan un lugar central en la alimentación camëntsá, y la chicha, un alimento clave para que las mamitas accedan a la fuerza de trabajo necesaria para trabajar en sus chagras. Abordo, a la vez, algunas transformaciones alimentarias generadas por el impacto de actores externos, como la introducción del arroz en la dieta y la manera en que las mamitas lo incorporan de forma crítica y creativa.","PeriodicalId":34787,"journal":{"name":"Maguare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46962055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It strives for an “anthropology of cooking” that recognizes the act of cooking, and the kitchen itself as important subjects for theoretical elaboration. This article questions what a vegetarian mantecada (shortbread) might be and describes its preparation in a cooking class in Bogota, Colombia. First, it explores how the written recipe, despite being an apparently stable device, is infinitely adaptable and it is continually changing. Then, it recreates the recipe, paying attention to the processes of translation and negotiation entailed in making the vegetarian mantecada. It purports that cooking is an act of coordination between bodies, ingredients, utensils, and different environments whereby knowledge is produced, shared and negotiated. It discusses as well how each preparation is an ephemeral ensemble that is completed only in a bite and purports that as academics, we still lack words to refer to the sensual and subjective dimensions of cooking.","PeriodicalId":34787,"journal":{"name":"Maguare","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49546411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 17th century, cycles of epidemics, missionary activities, extractive industries and the armed conflict changed the shaman’s role. The ceremonial leader of the pre-Colonial period reconfigured into the political-sacred (cacique) leader of Siona communities; external forces of the 20th century terminated this role and shamanic activities. Constitutional changes, recognition of indigenous rights and neoshamanic demand for yaje ceremonies revitalized Siona shamanism in the last decade of the 20th century. Shamanic performances have emerged as a key strategy for promoting ethnic distinctiveness in the negotiations between Indigenous communities, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, extractive industries and neoshamanic groups.","PeriodicalId":34787,"journal":{"name":"Maguare","volume":"34 1","pages":"17-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67018961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on an ethnographic case, I explore the relationship between the military from the High Mountain Battalion N.° 1 and the frailejones (espeletia) in the Sumapaz paramo in Colombia to demonstrate how their practices of mutual care become other ways of making and understanding peace.","PeriodicalId":34787,"journal":{"name":"Maguare","volume":"34 1","pages":"215-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67019181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These rituals seek to normalize inter- and extra-ethnic scenarios of political negotiation. The frequent use of the Spanish word “armonizacion” has promoted the institutional understanding and acceptance of these ritual practices, but it has also simplified the cultural differences between these three ethnic groups. In this article, we focus on the different modulations of these rituals. We analyze how these rituals transform potentially dangerous inter-ethnic encounters into symbolically domesticated spaces. We also explore how these indigenous peoples use these rituals to interpret the spirit of the State’s laws and actions from an animistic approach related to non-human entities. We finally probe the possible impact of these rituals in attaining less-conflicting political negotiations.","PeriodicalId":34787,"journal":{"name":"Maguare","volume":"34 1","pages":"183-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67019134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
