This paper proposes an analysis of the book Teatro campesino published in 1969 by Zavala Cataño. The work in question contains seven dramatic works that present the indigenist problem of the land, the vindication of the Indian and the Andean cosmovision as essential features of his «neo-indigenism» (Escajadillo, 1989). Likewise, the superposition of their situations, following Fontanille (2001), clarifies three narrative programs according to the «union» or «disunion» of the peasant with the land. Both subjects are, taking Descola’s (2012) anthropological analysis, in an animistic mode; that is, they possess similarities at the inner level (emotions, subjectivity, etc.) and differences at the physical level (visible features). For this reason, the characters and nature interact, receive teachings, share joys, form an alliance to defeat the hacendado and seek the restoration of their community.

The aim of this article is to examine how the narrator in César Calvo’s novel The Three Halves of Ino Moxo: Teachings of the Wizard of the Upper Amazon tries to portray the Amazonian culture from the inside. The analysis focuses on the narrative passages that describe the visions experienced by the characters after consuming ayahuasca. Furthermore, we study the tension between poetic prose and ethnographic register in this novel, as we explore how the Amazonian universe (with its beliefs, myths and knowledges) participates in the construction of a heterogeneous Peruvian national identity.

Las naciones latinoamericanas comparten la violencia fundacional de sus pueblos, pero también la resistencia de sus culturas originarias ante discursos dominantes impuestos a lo largo de su historia. De esta manera, América Latina y el Caribe han experimentado —¿y acaso lo siguen haciendo?— tensiones emancipatorias y luchas discursivas que aseguraron el nacimiento de discursos heterogéneos escritos siempre desde los márgenes sociales. Si bien estos poseen naturalezas disímiles entre sí, el hilo conductor del sentir latinoamericano ha sido la resistencia de las múltiples voces que poblaron estas tierras. Durante los años de colonización, los discursos latinoamericanos aprendieron a camuflarse, negociar y resistir desde la apropiación de los códigos del colonialismo europeo. Así, los testimonios y crónicas de Indias, escritos por sujetos mestizos y originarios de estas tierras, le hicieron frente a los decires hegemónicos heredados del Viejo Mundo, a fin de sostener/mantener/explorar saberes ancestrales, transformar realidades o restablecer el orden social, como se observan en los escritos de Guamán Poma de Ayala, el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Juan Santa Cruz «Pachacuti» o en Úrsula de Jesús. En este sentido, y como menciona Mabel Moraña: «[los saberes ancestrales y conocimientos] nos obliga[n] a recordar los límites de la interpretación, y a valorar y promover las formas que conduzcan a una transformación que supone y rebasa las fronteras de la palabra». En este sentido, las voces mestizas u originarias encontraron grietas por las cuales filtrarse y hacerse de un espacio incluso durante los grandes sistemas de dominación. Este ejercicio permitió que los sujetos subalternizados moldearan agencias que serían el vértice que uniría los múltiples decires latinoamericanos a lo largo de la historia.

The research approaches from a semiotic-cognitive approach the analysis of the phraseological repertoirethat emerged in the period of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic since the months of March and April in Peruvian society. The objective of this study is to propose a model of semiotic-cognitive analysis applied to any sociolect from a transversal perspective. The proposed model is based on cognitive linguistics and symbolic interactionism. Information was collected through the newspapers of the written press in Metropolitan Lima. The analysis allowed to establish that eight ways of thinking or conceptual procedures are evidenced in the cognitive processes of language. The research allows us to conclude that the sociolect generated by COVID-19 in Peruvian society, according to the cognitive perspective, represent symbolic units motivated through linguistic-cognitive processes of a metaphorical, metonymic and hyperbolic type.

The objective of this article is to highlight the role of indigenous communities in the construction of an idea of an alternative nation, which emerged in the midst of the War of the Pacific, particularly during the worsening of the armed conflict: between the fall of Lima (1881) and the signing of the Treaty of Ancón (1883). For this, we will rely on a historiographical journey with the contributions and the follow-up to the trajectory of the discussion of various positions that shows us its beginnings, the current panorama and the future perspectives on this subject. In this way, we will analyze various studies carried out by researchers Heraclio Bonilla, Florencia Mallon, Nelson Manrique, Mark Turner, Nelson Pereyra, Hugo Pereyra and Brooke Larson, among others. Finally, we will evaluate the production of university theses on the war with Chile in the last two decades to identify the level of incidence of peasant communities within historical studies.

The objective of this research is to develop as thematic content the worldview, cultural practices and grammatical foundations of the Shipibo-Konibo ethnolinguistic group and, with this, to elaborate the theoretical-methodological framework of a communicative-functional method at a basic level, necessary for its teaching/learning as a second language (SL)/foreign language (LE) in urban contexts. For this purpose, the international standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) are taken as a reference. As a result, we have a proposal of transversal thematic axes with a mainly intra- and intercultural content, which were applied in class sessions and followed a didactic approach of continuous learning under a research-action methodology. We conclude by pointing out that this methodological proposal is undoubtedly innovative and will set a precedent in the development of methods for teaching Shipibo as a second language in urban contexts and, by extension, other native languages.

In the context of the Bicentennial of the Independence of Peru, this text seeks to recover for the memory the work of José Ignacio Moreno, one of the managers of the constituent process that Peru went through from the Protectorate of José de San Martín. In a particular way we are going to focus on his political philosophy, which has been peculiarly neglected in the historiography related to Independence and which arises, precisely, in light of the transition process between the Old Peruvian regime and the consolidation of the republic. In fact, a first objective of this work is to show Moreno as part of the constitution making process that gave rise to the Peruvian Republic as an interlocutor in the public controversy. For this aim we are going to focus our interest on his book Cartas peruanas (1826), a text on political metaphysics written in the constitutional heat of the period of his presence in the political and academic environment of Peru at the beginning of his independent life.

The objective of this work is to analyze from a critical perspective the current political situation that on June 6materialized in the election, as the new President of the Republic, of Pedro Castillo in Peru. Said analysis, materialized from the categories of thought proposed by authors such as Mariátegui and González Prada, aims to guide the configuration of imagined-future scenarios that seek to vindicate the importance of the 'Indian' as a leading subject of the socio-historical development of Peru, the which he considers as one of his main recent milestones the election of Castillo as the first national authority. Finally, practical mechanisms are proposed that contribute to configuring these scenarios as a mechanism through which to combat the historical invisibility of 'the Indians', a direct result of domination, in the spheres of power, knowledge and being.

This seeks to recognize how the strategies that Peru took during the First World War affected northern exports. The city of La Libertad stood out because its export custom linked it directly with the war conflict, generating particularities such as the sugar boom and the Chicama Strike in 1920. It is investigated from the written press, official reports and statistical studies. It is concluded that the First World War affected the estates of La Libertad, improving their commercial relations in the sugar sector, but generating a harmful regional dependence on North America.

This article is based on the idea of ​​understanding the artistic narrative of José Uriel García exposed in La Prensa de Argentina, which is based on ideological content of a historical-artistic nature disclosed in telluric ideology essays. From this framework, the objective will be to propose the Crespo style as a national art, developed in the southern Peruvian highlands, through the implementation of educational policies disseminated in the San Antonio Abad University of Cusco (1910-1923) and as an influence of the Argentine thinker Ricardo Red. The analysis approach used an artistic historiography. In this sense, documents, magazines, newspapers and works by specialist authors were reviewed. In addition, twelve journalistic essays of La Prensa. The axis of inquiry will demonstrate that the existence of the Crespo style includes the national conjuncture, created from studies on the churches of San Miguel de Mamara and Santiago de Pomata, as well as painting, imagery, etc. As a result of this analysis, we conclude It that its validity allows us to affirm that it flourished in the first third of the 18th century, only in southern Peruvian small towns. The contribution states that the Crespo style was the national expression, created by artists of Indo-mestizo origin in their desire to represent pristine regional artistic expressions.
