Diccionario Wao-Tededo - Español (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Irumenga, Pedro % Sevilla, Fernando % Nenquihui, Ricardo Resumen: Este diccionario es el reflejo de la lengua actual y no es un repertorio de voces muertas o aquejadas de senectud. Tal vez algunos de los neologismos incluidos no puedan resistir el paso de los años, pero muchos otros acabarán por integrarse definitivamente en el léxico del wao tededo. Fruto del trabajo de investigación de campo, la revisión bibliográfica lingüística y la discusión en talleres se estructuraron alrededor de mil doscientas palabras. |

Panorama andino sobre cambio climático (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Cuesta, Francisco % Becerra, María Teresa (Coordinadores) Resumen: El concepto de montañas es para los países de la Comunidad Andina un referente, si tenemos en cuenta la dinámica vertical de nuestro territorio. Sin embargo, el paisaje andino, también involucra zonas costeras, bosques amazónicos, valles secos y otros sistemas naturales y antrópicos que igualmente están influenciados por la dinámica que imponen las montañas en nuestro territorio. En este sentido, avanzar con el estudio de los efectos del cambio climático en los Andes tropicales a escala subregional es una labor importante, por lo cual el desarrollo de este estudio evidencia la importancia de conocer con más profundidad lo que implica esta verticalidad en la Comunidad Andina en las estrategias de respuesta a los efectos del cambio climático, así como la necesidad de desarrollar análisis más específicos en sectores de interés, identificar vacíos de información y abrir espacios para compartir experiencias de proyectos de cooperación que se están desarrollando en la subregión a escalas locales, nacionales y regionales. |

Footprints of the forest: Ka'apor Ethnobotany-the Historical Ecology of Plant Utilization by an Amazonian People (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Balée, William Resumen: Footprints of the Forest is the clearest and most comprehensive account to date of the relationship between an Amazonian people and their botanical environment. Based on Balee's ten years of ethnological and botanical research among the Tupi-Guarani-speaking Indians, especially the Ka'apor, of eastern Amazonia, this book documents the ways in which the Ka'apor use, manage, name, and classify many hundreds of plant species found in their habitat. From a historical and ecological perspective, Balee shows that Ka'apor ethnobotany represents an interpenetration of Amazonian culture and nature and thus constitutes a domain of scientific inquiry in its own right. The substantive chapters explore the history of the Ka'apor and their present modes of land use, the Ka'apor's influence on the composition of fragile forests in their habitat, and Ka'apor forest management practices. Balee also discusses the nomenclature and classification of indigenous plants as well as the cognitive aspects of magical, medicinal, and poisonous plants. Footprints of the Forest concludes with an explanatory framework for understanding the similarities and differences among the ethnobotanical systems of diverse Amazonian peoples and ten cross-referenced appendices, which will aid those readers interested in specific Amazonian plants and their native names, habitats, and exact uses by the Ka'apor. |

Nature is Culture: Indigenous knowledge and socio-cultural aspects of trees and forests in non-European cultures (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Seeland, Klaus (Editor) Resumen: The starting message of of this book is that the so-called virgin forests of the world owe much to their symbiotic relationship with the indigenous peoples who live in and and on the margins of the forests. Human activities have for millennia 'managed' (consciously or unconsciously) the world's forests, resulting in a greatly enhanced biodiversity. The contributors to the book come from many different scientific disciplines, and national and cultural backgrounds. Examples of forests are taken from Asia, Africa and South America, thus reflecting the global nature of the phenomenon. |

Head Hunters Of The Amazon: My Adventures in the Jungle, 1894-1901 (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Up de Graff, Fritz Resumen: Headhunters of the Amazon (1921) which tells an extraordinary story that simply would not get published today even if any contemporary explorer or adventurer had the opportunity or the cojones to do what Up De Graaf and his companions did so blithely a century ago. However, this is not just a schoolboy tale of derring-do, but contains much fascinating socio-cultural information about the eponymous head-hunters of the title and some fascinating cryptozoological snippets. Could there indeed be a hitherto undiscovered species of giant stork luring in the Amazon jungle? Could it be the same as a prehistoric creature whose remains have been discovered in the same area? And could sightings of such a rara avis explain modern day accounts of pterosaurs reported across central and South America with monotonous regularity? This book sets out the stall for CFZ Classics. It is lavishly illustrated, not only with the original pictures from the original volume but with contemporary engravings and photographs which - we feel - do much to enhance the zeitgeist of the book and the reading experience. Here we would like to thank the massively talented Gareth Shaw who worked so hard on the cover illustration, and who - like us - is a devotee of a style of art, which like so many of the explorers whose thrilling exploits its illustrated, doesn't seem to be around in the rarefied and ever so slightly decadent days. And there's more. One of the most important aspects of this entire project is that, because all the books which are being produced by CFZ Classics are out of copyright and in the public domain, the author royalties from it will be paid to the person who did all the work preparing this new edition. This provides a unique, and we hope entertaining, way for impecunious cryptozoological researchers around the world to fund their activities. |

Imagery & Creativity: Ethnoaesthetics and Art Worlds in the Americas (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: S. Whitten, Dorothea % Whitten Jr., Norman E. (Editors) Resumen: From pottery to story to carnivals, various forms of artistic expression from the Americas can be shown to reflect universal human imagery and creativity. In this collection, contributors from a variety of disciplines utilize an ethnoaesthetic perspective to place art forms within their cultural and social milieus, and address the problem of understanding culturally patterned, creative expressions caught up in organized art worlds.The book presents an array of contemporary and ancient arts of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean, ranging from the cultural heritage of the Central Andes and Mesoamerica to contemporary peoples who share a legacy of colonial domination--such as Native American artists of Canada and the American Southwest, the Saramaka Maroons of Suriname, Trinidadian Carnival designers, and the Canelos Quichua of Amazonian Ecuador. |

How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology beyond the Human (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Kohn, Eduardo Resumen: Can forests think? Do dogs dream? In this astonishing book, Eduardo Kohn challenges the very foundations of anthropology, calling into question our central assumptions about what it means to be human—and thus distinct from all other life forms. Based on four years of fieldwork among the Runa of Ecuador’s Upper Amazon, Eduardo Kohn draws on his rich ethnography to explore how Amazonians interact with the many creatures that inhabit one of the world’s most complex ecosystems. Whether or not we recognize it, our anthropological tools hinge on those capacities that make us distinctly human. However, when we turn our ethnographic attention to how we relate to other kinds of beings, these tools (which have the effect of divorcing us from the rest of the world) break down. How Forests Think seizes on this breakdown as an opportunity. Avoiding reductionistic solutions, and without losing sight of how our lives and those of others are caught up in the moral webs we humans spin, this book skillfully fashions new kinds of conceptual tools from the strange and unexpected properties of the living world itself. In this groundbreaking work, Kohn takes anthropology in a new and exciting direction–one that offers a more capacious way to think about the world we share with other kinds of beings. |

Geografía Humana de Colombia. Amazonía Amerindia: Territorio de Diversidad Cultural (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Correa Rubio, François Resumen: Este Libro realizará una presentación de conjunto sobre los grupos étnicos nativos de esta extensa área de la selva Húmeda Tropical. Al realizar esta presentación el autor tiene en mente que el lector pueda enriquecer esa imagen que le ha sido difundida sobre la Amazonia, distinta y primitiva, con la delicada complejidad de sus formas de organización social y la ya mileneria riqueza cultural. Partiré de una breve reseña histórica destacando el interés occidental en la explotación de sus recursos naturales; se ilustran las diversas estrategias de apropiación del medio ambiente; las formas de organización social; el papel desempeñado por la diversidad lingüística en la identidad y las relaciones con otras etnias; las diferentes concepciones sobre el poblamiento y actual transformación en aldeas; y finalizara con un recuento de la política territorial y el lugar que ocupa la población indígena de dichas organizaciones. El texto resume la histórica intervención de la sociedad nacional y su presentación de vincular sus gentes a la órbita del mercado para la explotación económica de sus propios territorios, tratados como cantera de recursos, y termina con las recientes percepciones de los indígenas de la selva tropical húmeda, en la que los Indios, mas allá de la historia de su cultura son, nuevamente, disculpa que respalda a la apropiación de sus recursos. |

Global Biopiracy: Patents, Plants, and Indigenous Knowledge (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Mgbeoji, Ikechi Resumen: The appropriation of plants and traditional knowledge by corporations and other entities is often called biopiracy. Such practices arise from a cultural milieu that systematically marginalizes non-Western forms of knowledge, which are devalued as "folk knowledge" or characterized as inferior. Global Biopiracy rethinks the role of international law and legal concepts, global patent systems, and international agricultural research institutions as they affect legal ownership and control of plants and the knowledge that makes them valuable. Ikechi Mgbeoji first examines the Western assumptions and biases that inform the patent system, international law, and institutions affecting farmers around the globe. He next analyzes the cultural and economic traits that divide the industrialized world and the developing world. Finally, Mgbeoji confronts the phenomenal loss of human cultures and plant diversity that has already occurred and that will continue in the future unless protective measures are implemented and enforced. |

Gaviotas: A Village to reinvent the World (Inglés) (Ver) Categoría: Libro Autor: Weisman, Alan Resumen: In 1994, a team of independient journalists was funded by the corporation for public broadcasting the Ford Foundation, and the John D.and Catherine T.MacArtur Foundation to produce a series for Nationa Public Radio, which would document humanity`s search for solutions to the greatest enviromental and social problems threatering the World. One member of that team, Alan Weisman, took his quest to an unlikely spot: war-torn, drug -ravaged Colombia. Twenty five years earlier, he`d been told, a group of Colombian visionaries had decided that if they could fashion self -sustaining peace and prosperity in the most dificult place on earth, it could be done anywhere. Then they had set out to try. For sixteen hours, Weisman traveled by jeep past roadblocks manned by army, paramilitary,and guerrilla forces to reach what those visionaries had forget in the hardshest setting they could find: the extraordinary comunity called Gaviotas |
