Abstract
VENTUROLI, Sofía. Ruku, chakwa y runa: sociality and spaces of negotiation between man and territory in Andes of Conchucos, Peru. An. antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp.19-32. Epub Nov 30, 2019. ISSN 2448-6221. https://doi.org/10.22201/iia.24486221e.2019.1.63639.
The relationship between the human group and some specific places (or awilitus), in the communities of Conchucos, Ancash, Peru, is based on the dual category chúcaro - manso, which means wild and domesticated. In this article we want to present the analysis of this very dense and articulated dual set that becomes a substantial tool to articulate the relationships between man and that places that maps and divides the space in two. We will outline a presentation, grounded on ethnographic data, of how those processes are produced, how they are modified and how they are negotiated, as well as an analysis of the meaning and the kind of relation that these categories produce in the communities of Conchucos.
Keywords : territory; sociality; mountains; awilitus; Peruvian Andes.
