Through sustained encounters with his images and archival practices, the text does not position itself outside the archive that motivates it, but unfolds <i>from within it</i>. At its center is what Poirot calls <i>lucid memory</i>. It is not a theoretical category, but a fragile and demanding practice of persistence. Through it, photographic materials and the relations that sustain them illuminate a dark zone of history, not by restoring order or chronology, but by allowing presences to persist, return, or even resist appearance within an anarchic temporal register. Photography, ethnography, and writing are approached here as practices that remain internally related, extending one another through shared exposure and material persistence. The archive does not appear as a sequence of past moments to be contextualized or interpreted, but as a <i>stratigraphy of presences</i>, where different historical textures remain active, sedimented, and unevenly available. Situated within Chile's unfinished political history, this relational archive foregrounds <i>lucid memory</i> as a sustained and demanding coexistence of presences that resist chronological ordering and erasure.</p>","PeriodicalId":45512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlca.70047","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148099251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a Muinane perspective, building the future means to constantly “humanizing” —incorporating, subjectivizing— the word of life of the origin for living well. This, however, is not a solitary task, but rather a laborious interaction with the Other, whether human or non-human. A good life cannot be achieved without the desiring and skillful engagement with alterity; although intrinsically threatening, alterity energizes the permanent recreation of indigenous society and, by entering into relationship with it, humans “humanize it” and humanize themselves at once, forming themselves as “true humans of the future.” This article, the result of a long-term collaborative research process, explores how the learning and practical application of Muinane health knowledge forge sociality, while also expanding our understanding of what it means to co-investigate within an indigenous context.</p>","PeriodicalId":45512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlca.70046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148089610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a combined historical and ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the formation of the Venezuelan nation-state involved expanding physical, economic, ethnic, and moral boundaries, shaping both the country's landscape and its sociocultural and political relations. While oil fueled economic growth, Indigenous communities were marginalized due to territorial expropriation and state-led integration and assimilation initiatives. By tracing the actions of successive governments and the persistent presence of military and missionary groups, the study explores the intersections of capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism in nation-building, showing how power dynamics conditioned who would be included in the projects of modernity and who would be excluded.</p>","PeriodicalId":45512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlca.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147667978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
