| description | Ethnography in non-Western societies has put a strain on the nature-culture conception, taking away its universal character. Within the framework of this discussion, here we propose to explore the nuances that this relationship acquires from the coplas, a type of narrative that accounts for the ways of signifying and representing the world for those who produce and reproduce them. For our purposes we work on a set of coplas from the northern zone of the Calchaquí Valley, specifically in the department of Cachi (Salta) and from semi-structured interviews, obtained in field work, as well as from bibliographical compilations. In some cases nature appears personified, endowed with the qualities of a subject in her interaction with humans. We interpret these characteristics in association with the forms of representation of the indigenous peoples that inhabited the region and which have been represented in the huanca stones. |

La etnografía en sociedades no-occidentales ha puesto en tensión la concepción naturaleza-cultura, quitándole el carácter de universalidad. En este trabajo nos proponemos explorar los matices que adquiere esta relación a partir de los relatos de la copla, un tipo de narrativa que da cuenta de las maneras de significar y representar el mundo para quienes las producen y reproducen. A los fines de nuestro objetivo trabajamos a partir de un conjunto de coplas procedentes de la zona norte del Valle Calchaquí, específicamente en el departamento de Cachi (Salta) y de entrevistas semiestructuradas, así como de recopilaciones bibliográficas. En algunos casos, personificada, la naturaleza aparece dotada de cualidades de sujeto en la interacción con los humanos. Interpretamos estas características en asociación con las formas de representación de los pueblos indígenas que habitaron la región y que ha quedado plasmada en el registro de las piedras huanca. A etnografia nas sociedades não ocidentais colocou essa concepção em tensão, tirando seu caráter de universalidade. No contexto desta discussão, neste artigo propomos explorar a relação natureza / cultura na história expressa no coplas. De acordo com nossas observações, é apresentado como um possível ponto do partida para identificar outras formas de significado e representar o mundo. Para nosso objetivo, trabalhamos a partir de um conjunto de coplas da região norte do Vale do Calchaquí, especificamente no departamento de Cachi (Salta) e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, obtidas através do nosso trabalho de campo, bem como a partir de compilações bibliográficas. Em alguns casos personificados, a natureza aparece dotada de qualidades de sujeito na interação com os humanos. Interpretamos que essas características, distantes das lógicas modernas, podem estar ligadas às formas de representação ancestral dos povos que habitaram a região nos tempos pré-hispânicos e que foram representadas no registro das pedras huanca. 2021-04-05 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por pares http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/7965 10.34096/runa.v42i1.7965 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/7965/8798 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/7965/8980 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/7965/9250 application/pdf text/html Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol 42 No 1 (2021): Methodological issues, dilemmas and challenges in research on public security, violence(s) and activism; 265-282 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 42 Núm. 1 (2021): Cuestiones, dilemas y desafíos metodológicos en investigaciones sobre seguridad pública, violencia(s) y activismos; 265-282 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 42 n. 1 (2021): Questões metodológicas, dilemas e desafios na pesquisa sobre segurança pública, violência(s) e ativismos; 265-282 1851-9628 0325-1217 |
