- W2077814250 abstract "This is an essay applying event, proxemic, and symbolic analyses to political decisions about public space in a highly acculturated community among the Cuna Indians of the San Bias District, Panama. It concludes that public architecture provides Cuna culture with a master sign-image (Fernandez 1974; Whitten 1978)-an implicit paradigm for social relations-in both the household and the wider community. Nargana, the community, has had a Western, basilica-style, local congress (meeting) house for a long time. During my sojourn there, the community built a modern, syncretic congress house incorporating many native features. Shortly after inaugurating the handsome new structure, the community decided to build a completely traditional one. The traditional building was then dismantled temporarily at the skeleton stage. The community's culture is oscillating and indeterminate within a nativist-acculturating framework. Examination of this cultural oscillation reveals more things than the patently obvious. Proxemic analysis reveals major lines of factional cleavage within the community, as well as the links of exterior alliances to the wider political system within which the community is encapsulated. Moreover, the analysis discloses the cultural linkages of two conflicting forms of public space. The modern basilica is linked with all exterior, Western founts of authority; the traditional congress house is the formalization and fixing of the spatial usages of Cuna domestic architecture. An analysis of the myths and symbols used during the ritual baptism of the syncretic house reveals that the congress house and the The inauguration of a modern, syncretic, basilica-style congress house in a Cuna community sparked an attempt to revive a traditional Cuna congress house. These complementary events are analyzed not only to reveal the political alliances behind this cultural oscillation, but to contrast the proxemics of the Western basilica (which elevates authority) with the Cuna congress house (which encloses and symbolizes authority). A further comparison of the congress house with all Cuna structures shows that the Cuna build only rectangular buildings. The significance of the rectangular-round contrast, together with an analysis of myths used to launch the congress, discloses that traditional architecture expresses in metaphoric progression the structural replication of all Cuna political and domestic social structure, arrayed in multiple, serial, rank orders.
