Item type:Publication, Meter in traditional Kakataibo chants(University of Tartu Press, 2021-01-01)This paper studies the principal aspects of meter of three traditional Kakataibo chants (a Panoan group of Peruvian Amazonia). Regarding meter, Kakataibo chants exhibit patterns relevant for the cross-linguistic study of line and meter typology. I describe the Kakataibo system of versification as a quantitative meter that counts an exact number of moras and regulates the distribution of these by imposing grouping restrictions; also, it establishes weight differences between light, heavy and superheavy syllables, and vowel lengthening plays an important role for meter purposes. In addition, the average duration of lines tends to last less than three seconds and decreases progressively during performance. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Vegetation warming and greenness decline across Amazonia during the extreme drought of 2023(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-07-01)In 2023, most parts of the world experienced exceptional heat. In particular, anomalous warm temperatures and heatwave events were evidenced across South America during the second half of the year. The situation was particularly critical in the Amazon region in terms of not only hydrometeorological drought but also ecological and socioeconomic impacts. In this study, remote-sensing data collected from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used to observe the changes in temperature and vegetation across Amazonia during the exceptional drought of 2023. This analysis was based on anomalies in the land surface temperature (LST) and vegetation indices: the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The amplitude of the LST (AMP-LST), an indicator of the energy partitioning between the latent and sensible heat flux, and fire counts were also considered. The results show widespread and extreme warming across Amazonia during the austral spring in 2023, accompanied by a decline in vegetation greenness, water stress conditions across northern Amazonia, and an enhanced fire occurrence across central and northern Amazonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Violent dispossessions: understanding the configuration of lived territories in two Ashaninka communities in the Peruvian central Amazon region Despojos violentos: análisis de la configuración de los territorios habitados en dos comunidades ashaninka de la región amazónica central de Perú(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2026-01-01)Working on the history of Asháninka communities in Peru, we encountered constant references to their territories. Given that territory is a living part of the communities, of their experiences and the space where their collective histories unfold, this article explores, through the accounts of comuneros, the intimate relationship between, on the one hand, the slow, persistent and interlinked violences that communities have faced throughout their history, and, on the other, dispossession and envelopment. We adopt an ethnographic approach and a qualitative and comparative methodology based on participant observation, in-depth interviews and social mapping carried out between 2023 and 2024 in the Asháninka communities of San Jerónimo and Shankivironi in the central Peruvian Amazonia, specifically in the Junín region. Drawing from the collaboratively worked accounts, we identify the experiences of violence in these communities, the transformations they bring about and the ways in which they are shaping their territories. We conclude that, in reconstructing the histories of these Asháninka communities, violence has been and remains constitutive of their collective history and is fundamental to understanding the configuration of their territories. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Navigating Shifting Waters: Subjectivity, Oil Extraction, and Urarina Territorial Strategies in the Peruvian Amazon(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-11-01)This paper examines the relationships between extractive infrastructure, changing territorial strategies, and contemporary processes of subject formation among the Urarina, an indigenous people in the Peruvian Amazon. We first introduce the uneven and combined character of oil extraction in the Loreto region in north-eastern Peru, and how its racialised spatial contradictions are expressed in the ethnopolitical field that gives political form to regional extractive operations. The paper goes on to analyse the case of the Urarina people in the Chambira river basin, their particular place in the geography of extraction, and the case of the community of Nueva Union. We examine contemporary processes of subject formation in the community, which combine radical transformations in the role of money, territorial strategies, use and valuation of the environment, and changes in political structure, in non-linear ways. The paper closes by examining how the case of the community of Nueva Union sheds light on broader dynamics of subject formation, localised relations to the environment, and extraction as they play out in contemporary indigenous Amazonia. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Visual Representations of the Loreto Landscape: From Authenticity to the Sense of Place(Universidad Cientifica del Sur, 2025-08-29)There is a significant visual tradition that, through painting and photography, has represented the Amazonian region of Loreto and the city of Iquitos. By discussing the concepts of landscape, authenticity, and sense of place, this article aims to analyze this tradition and new emerging forms of representation. To this end, canonical images have been analyzed and more than fifteen contemporary artists have been interviewed. It is argued that: i) this tradition is anchored in landscape painting, ii) that the authenticity of these images is achieved through their ability to mimic the landscape depicted, and iii) that artists have emerged who deconstruct previous landscapes, explicitly destabilizing hegemonic visual regimes. The article concludes with the need to shift from an emphasis on authenticity to an understanding of the embodied senses of place from which visual representations emerge.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evolution of Reproductive Plasticity in a Seasonal Tropical Environment(Wiley, 2026-05-01)Seasonality can drive the evolution of reproductive plasticity in insects. An extreme form is reproductive diapause, where individuals halt reproduction during unfavourable seasons. How diapause evolves from milder forms of plasticity (e.g., through changes in cue perception and responses) is poorly understood. In the tropics, seasonality is common, but it is unclear how widespread reproductive plasticity is, or how it correlates with dry and wet seasons. Here, we analyse reproductive plasticity in Amazonian butterflies using a four-year monthly time series of reproductive phenotypes. Sampling nine species across four Nymphalidae subfamilies, we observe a widespread occurrence of diverse reproductive plasticity, suggesting repeated evolutionary changes in reproductive plasticity. Detailed analyses of two Catonephele species reveal a conserved cue (temperature), with species-specific divergence of cue response (dry season diapause only in C. acontius). Together, our data support the ubiquity of reproductive plasticity in the tropics and suggest repeated evolutionary change in diapause.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Educational Trajectories Among Young Indigenous Women in Amazonia: A Quest for Gender Equity and Interculturality(Wiley, 2025-09-01)This article examines a growing demand for higher education among Indigenous Amazonian women, exploring their educational goals and the challenges they face. We examine how young women's desire to access new educational opportunities is entwined with an aspiration to become new kinds of persons, but also to support their own communities. We argue that women's demand for education is actively shaping new futures, opening new pathways toward educational inclusion and leadership on their own terms.Scopus© Citations 2 3
