    Juan Ramon Koenig, os refugiados aimarás na selva e a descoberta das províncias de yuromas e tanatas

    No full text
    In 1655 an unusual finding took place east of the Andes Mountains. The report of its discoverer has gone unnoticed among historical and anthropological studies of early European incursions into the South American lowlands. It deals with the journey undertaken by the Flemish Jesuit Juan Ramón Koenig from the town of Hayupaya (jurisdiction of Cochabamba) to the provinces of the Yuromas and Tanatas Indians, adjacent to the lands of the Raches and Moxos. This article is devoted to the geographical, ethnohistorical and ethnological analysis of Juan Ramon’s manuscript, whose information on the native Yuromas and Tanatas and the Aymara fugitives from the mita of Potosí, who retreated into the jungle, is both fundamental and novel for reconstructing the indigenous history of the Andean-Amazonian foothill of present-day Bolivia.En 1655 tuvo lugar un inusual hallazgo al oriente de la Cordillera de los Andes. El informe de su descubridor ha pasado inadvertido entre los estudios históricos y antropológicos que atañen a las incursiones europeas tempranas en las tierras bajas sudamericanas. Se trata del viaje emprendido por el jesuita flamenco Juan Ramón Koenig desde el pueblo de Hayupaya (jurisdicción de Cochabamba) a las provincias de indios yuromas y tanatas, comarcanas a las tierras de los raches y moxos. Este artículo está consagrado al análisis geográfico, etnohistórico y etnológico del manuscrito de Juan Ramon, cuyas informaciones, sobre los nativos yuromas y tanatas y los aymaras fugitivos de la mita de Potosí retirados en la selva, son fundamentales a la par que novedosas para reconstruir la historia indígena del piedemonte andino-amazónico de la actual Bolivia.Em 1655, uma descoberta incomum foi feita no leste da Cordilheira dos Andes. O relato de seu descobridor passou despercebido entre os estudos históricos e antropológicos das primeiras incursões europeias nas terras baixas da América do Sul. Trata-se da viagem realizada pelo jesuíta flamengo Juan Ramón Koenig da cidade de Hayupaya (jurisdição de Cochabamba) até as províncias dos índios Yuromas e Tanatas, adjacentes às terras dos Rachos e Moxos. Este artigo é dedicado à análise geográfica, etno-histórica e etnológica do manuscrito de Juan Ramón, cujas informações sobre os nativos Yuromas e Tanatas e os fugitivos aimarás da mita de Potosí, que se retiraram para a selva, são fundamentais e inovadoras para a reconstrução da história indígena do sopé andino-amazônico da atual Bolívia

    El derrotero de un mapa y manuscrito de Moxos. ¿La impronta del P. Antonio Garriga (1715) entre Lima y La Paz?

    Full text link
    A finales del siglo XIX la historiografía americana conoció, por primera vez, un manuscrito y mapa de Moxos datados en 1715 y atribuidos al jesuita Antonio Garriga. Desde entonces, y a lo largo de las décadas posteriores, algunos estudiosos publicaron el manuscrito en diferentes momentos y con intereses distintos, facilitando a las generaciones futuras su conocimiento. Sin embargo, el mapa permaneció hasta ahora inédito; y olvidado durante más de un siglo, sin someterse al juicio de los estudios contemporáneos. Este artículo presenta cronológicamente el turbulento itinerario de los papeles en cuestión desde 1886 hasta 2023, saca a la luz el supuesto mapa de Garriga, da a conocer su naturaleza y analiza la correspondencia entre la documentación, creando más interrogantes de las que son resueltas

    Moxos a su debido tiempo y lugar: notas para reconsiderar la historia de un nombre

    Full text link
    This article presents the different ethnic groups known collectively as Moxos that were identifiable in the early colonial period through the geography of Antisuyu, and beyond their traditional identification with the Arawak peoples of the Mamoré. We demonstrate that the term corresponds to a generic category applied indistinctly to different Antisuyu groups. An etymological proposal is put forward for the term, based on a general category of Aymara origin that was used to stereotypically name the jungle ‘others’ that inhabited the eastern foothills of the Andean mountain range.El artículo presenta los diferentes conjuntos étnicos llamados moxos identificables en la colonia temprana a lo largo y ancho de la geografía del Antisuyu, más allá de su tradicional identificación con los pueblos arawak del Mamoré, demostrando que el término corresponde a una categoría genérica aplicada indistintamente a diferentes grupos antisuyanos. Se plantea una propuesta etimológica para el vocablo, a partir de una categoría generalista de origen aymara que fue empleada para denominar estereotipadamente a la otredad selvática que habitó las estribaciones orientales de la cordillera andina

    Azotes por madera y revanchismo político: el enmarañado proceso jurídico que fustigó a Marcial Fabricano

    Full text link
    En 2009, durante un encuentro indígena en la Amazonía boliviana, el exdirigente mojeño trinitario Marcial Fabricano fue castigado con más de 50 azotes, según sus verdugos, por haber promovido la división territorial y la venta ilegal de madera. Fabricano aludió persecución política, negó las acusaciones y emprendió un proceso jurídico a los fustigadores por la vía ordinaria. El artículo analiza, desde la antropología jurídica, las causas y los elementos que caracterizaron este proceso de justicia indígena; además, se examinan las dinámicas sociopolíticas entre los clanes que se disputan el poder en el territorio indígena para comprender integralmente los antecedentes del caso

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
