Sacred Geographies of Ancient Amazonia
Scholars have long insisted that the Amazonian ecosystem placed severe limits on the size and complexity of its ancient cultures, but leading researcher Denise Schaan reverses that view, revealing a major civilization in ancient Amazonia that was more complex than anyone previously dreamed.
Vida da Faculdade de Letras (2013-2014)
A partir do ano letivo de 2012/2013, toda a informação que integrava a secção "Vida da Faculdade", da Revista Biblos passa a ter uma existência autónoma em formato digital. Por se considerar relevante preservar essa memória e por se entender que ela não deve integrar uma revista científica, cria--se esta publicação à parte, acessível ao público interno e externo, que passa a estar alojada na página web da Faculdade de Letras e nas plataformas da Imprensa da Universidade. Neste volume, reunem-se informações relativas ao ano letivo de 2013/2014.
Entre miradas y silencios. Metodologías de investigación en la historia indígena contemporánea
La historia indígena contemporánea no es un objeto de estudio inalterable, traslúcido, inmediatamente evidente. Para entender y visibilizar sus modulaciones temporales y regionales es indispensable tomar en cuenta, por un lado, la diversidad de los grupos indígenas, y al mismo tiempo, por el otro, la propia variabilidad de las realidades más amplias con las cuales estas sociedades se definen e interactúan. Confiando en que en esta tarea todavía queda camino por recorrer, este libro reúne una serie de reflexiones historiográficas sobre el uso de las fuentes orales y escritas, los procesos de territorialización y estatización, las transformaciones de las relaciones interétnicas, elementos indispensables a la hora de proponer una lectura realmente interdisciplinaria. Los estudios compilados en este volumen permiten redireccionar la mirada para construir nuevas claves interpretativas en este campo todavía incierto del conocimiento. Abren, así, la posibilidad de buscar acuerdos inexplorados en torno de los recortes temáticos, los conceptos y las metodologías necesarias para comprender en toda su dimensión la historia indígena contemporánea de América Latina.
Rainforest Mafias
"This report documents how illegal logging by criminal networks and resulting forest fires are connected to acts of violence and intimidation against forest defenders and the state's failure to investigate and prosecute these crimes."--Publisher website, viewed September 27, 2019.
My Cocaine Museum
In this book, a make-believe cocaine museum becomes a vantage point from which to assess the lives of Afro-Colombian gold miners drawn into the dangerous world of cocaine production in the rain forest of Colombia's Pacific Coast. Although modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia's central bank, the Banco de la República, Taussig's museum is also a parody aimed at the museum's failure to acknowledge the African slaves who mined the country's wealth for almost four hundred years. Combining natural history with political history in a filmic, montage style, Taussig deploys the show-and-tell modality of a museum to engage with the inner life of heat, rain, stone, and swamp, no less than with the life of gold and cocaine. This effort to find a poetry of words becoming things is brought to a head by the explosive qualities of those sublime fetishes of evil beauty, gold and cocaine. At its core, Taussig's museum is about the lure of forbidden things, charged substances that transgress moral codes, the distinctions we use to make sense of the world, and above all the conventional way we write stories.
