Abstract:

The essay describes and reflects on the Peruvian social outburst (2003), having the Puno region as place of reference. An historical setting of the Peruvian Andes where the cultural cradles of the indigenous Quechua and Aymara peoples merge. During the 2021 presidential elections, the citizens of Puno supported the candidacy of Pedro Castillo, finding once again the opportunity of a national government that would recognize and value their cultural space, as well as execute changes aimed at offering opportunities for the wellbeing of Andean populations.

Abstract It is estimated that approximately one out of every three Peruvians does not utilize healthcare services when facing an ailment. Nevertheless, this frequency could be higher in highland regions, given the limited availability of healthcare services. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of non-utilization of healthcare services among elderly residents of a Peruvian highland community during 2022. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study in the district of Totos (average altitude of 3286 meters above sea level) in the Ayacucho region of Peru during 2022. A census sampling meth

The Venezuelan Andes constituted one of the poorest regions of the country during the 1950s-1960s. This region was affected by oil exploitation and rapid urbanization. However, with the introduction of irrigated horticulture at that time, the Andean production systems were radically changed with the development of crops of high commercial value. For several decades, the Venezuelan Andes were an important source of enrichment and a new growth pole for the country.

Abstract Despite the demographic aging of the Global South, the uptake of WHO’s age-friendly cities framework remains extremely low. The Andean region of Latin America is currently represented by only four cities, out of more than 1,400 globally. Causes may include the partial inadequacy of the eight WHO domains for communities in the Andean region. We argue for a broader human ecological framework to address the macro, meso and micro levels to better address the context, challenges and opportunities for age-friendly cities in the Andean region.

Agriculture in the Andean region is mainly small-scale and rainfed, especially in Peru where almost 80% of its population depends on agriculture-related activities.

Although the early expansion of the Tiwanaku state (A.D. 600–1000) is often interpreted according to a centralized model derived from Old World precedents, recent archaeological research suggests a reappraisal of the socio-political organization of Tiwanaku civilization, both f

Abstract:

A 500-year record of changes and continuities in structures defined as ceremonial has been discovered in the Qhuna phase (5000-4400 B. P.) of Late Preceramic period Asana in the Moquegua drainage of southern Peru. These are the earliest known ceremonial structures in the south-central Andes, and their existence raises new questions about the trajectory of cultural change in the region. In its earliest construction around 4800 B. P., the ceremonial complex appears to be a “dance ground,” similar to the sometimes-enclosed spaces used by ethnographically known mobile foragers for periodic feasts

Motives: In the public space of the city of Jauja, culturally significant fairs have been held since the times of the Inca Empire. The diversity of agricultural production in Mantaro Valley favors the emergence of fairs as the main sites for the sale and exchange of local products in the city. The following research question was formulated: what is the physical and spatial impact of the activities organized in public space on fairs, the city, and the region?Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the physical and spatial impact of fairs in Mantaro Valley, and to explore fairs as urban-rural l

Abstract:

The San Pedro de Atacama oases have been permanently occupied since ca. 2500 B.P. and over this time developed a rich culture that was intertwined with social developments in the south-central Andes. However, despite decades of archaeological research, the region still lacks a strong chronological framework based on absolute dates. Here we present 53 new AMS 14C dates from osteological remains from San Pedro de Atacama, in order to contribute to an understanding of the Atacameño cultural sequence. These dates suggest that some cemeteries were occupied for long periods, frequently transcending

Abstract:

The focus of this study is on a khipu—a knotted—string recording device-from the Chachapoya region of the northeastern Andes of Peru. The khipu was one of 32 khipus discovered, along with some 220 mummy bundles, in 1996 in a half-dozen chullpas (burial houses) built into a rock-overhang overlooking a lake, called Laguna de los Cóndores, near the town of Leymebamba (Department of Amazonas). The cultural materials found with the mummies and khipus date from the pre-Inkaic Chachapoya culture (ca. A. D. 800-1450), through the Inka occupation of the region and on into the early colonial era. It is

Abstract:

In a small village in the Ecuadorian Andes called Racar, plastics are intimately woven into social and ecological structures. These entanglements move beyond human control and generate toxic dependencies between humans, plastics, and others. This requires a pedagogical shift in how early childhood educators understand and respond to plastics. Drawing on field research with educators in Racar, this paper attempts to interrupt human-centric discourses of the child as separate from Andean ecologies and resituates childhoods as differentially embedded in complex place relations.

Abstract:

Efforts to protect the wild Vicuña, an endangered relative of the domesticated Llama and Alpaca of the central Andes, and to increase the species' numbers, have been more successful in achieving technical wildlife management goals than in complementing agro-pastoral activities of the indigenous peoples of the region. In both Pampa Galeras National Reserve in Peru and in Lauca National Park in Chile, lack of consultation with native pastoralists, whose lands the reserves occupy, reflects weak commitment to broader social and economic goals on the part of national authorities, as well as the ina

This style was discovered during a recent regional survey of rock art in the Huánuco region that resulted in the documentation of paintings at more than 20 sites, the identification of their chronological contexts and an analysis of the resulting data for trends in changing social practices over nine millennia. I explore how the style emerged from both regional artistic trends in the medium and broader patterns evident in Andean material cult

Although the vertical structure of rain is relevant in aspects such as climate models (CM) and quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE), data about it is limited in the Andes. Within these aspects, extreme rainfall events are important due to their potential social impacts. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the vertical structure of rain and extreme events in the Tropical Andes using a Vertically Pointing Micro Rain Radar. For this, (i) the diurnal rainfall cycle was determined; (ii) the bright band was characterized; (iii) common characteristics of the vertical rain profile during

This article examines the dynamics through which an environmental issue is transformed into a matter of citizenship and social belonging during a weeklong uprising in defense of Lake Conococha. Highlighting the collective actions and personal narratives from participants in the region-wide blockade, the article therefore seeks to understand how dispossessions of environmental resources perceived as common property are cast in term

La diferenciación social de los indígenas, en la región andina de Bolivia, tiene como telón de fondo la noción de «desanclaje». Según esta, el tránsito de la sociedad agraria hacia la sociedad industrial produce una forma de «extrañamiento» del ser humano respecto de sus relaciones locales y tradicionales de presencia, para estructurarlas luego en intervalos espaciales y temporales de la modernidad y el capitalismo, en su forma estatal-nacional. En este proceso, la educación desempeña un papel fundamental que el artículo hace visible a partir de una de las consecuencias centrales de la integra
