In el noroccidnete amazonico, entre otras, two types of fiestas: an enmascarada dedicada a la cosecha de Bactris gassipaes and otrras frutas, and otra flautas sagradas dedicado a evocar seres extraordinarios as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
En el noroccidnete amazonico se realizan, entre otras, dos tipos de fiestas: una enmascarada dedicada a la cosecha de Bactris gassipaes y otras frutas, y otra con flautas sagradas dedicada a evocar seres extraordinarios. Ellas, cuando coinciden en un mismo pueblo, se realizan en momentos diferentes. Sin embargo, en el caso de los Piaroas y Wiros de la cuenca del Orinoco, ambas fiestas coinciden entiempo y lugar. En este ensayo vamos a describir los personajes y procedimientos que son parte de la fiesta y a evaluar algunos de los juegos de poder de genero y edad que en ella se expresan. Se trata de una fiesta que consolida alianzas de los shamanes y sus comunidades con los duenos de animales y plantas sometidas a la depredacion piaroa, que institucionaliza la expropiacion por los hombres y la redefinicion hacia lo domestico del poder femenino, y que transforma una sociedad sin grandes jerarquias en su citianeidad en una sociedad altamente jerarquizada mientras dura la fiesta.read more
