• W2610513288 abstract "The contributions by geographers to the study of aboriginal and peasant cultures in the Andes have greatly increased in the 1980s, and their contributions have increasingly been welcomed by international development agencies. In the area of traditional agriculture, geographers have documented the adaptive potential of subsistence farmers, elucidated the relative efficiencies of alternative strategies, and identified the components of the strategically relevant environment. Major projects such as the Climate Impacts Project of the United Nations and the Colca valley project have been organized by geographers. Geographers have also contributed to the study of prehispanic agriculture, producing numerous studies of prehispanic raised fields, terraces, irrigation systems, sunken fields and embanked fields. Finally, geographers have contributed to the study of Andean ethnogeography, producing ethnic maps and contributing to the study of Andean material culture. It is likely that this success story will be continued into the 1990s, with perhaps an increased emphasis on using the vocabulary of social theory, political ecology and the new cultural geography. ANDEANIST CULTURAL GEOGRAPHERS IN THE 1970s When geographical research on aboriginal and peasant cultures were reviewed at the 1980 CLAG tenth anniversary meeting (Davidson 1981; Denevan 1981; Knapp 1981b; Kus 1981; Patrick 1981; Turner II 1981), the general format was not based on geographical regions but on themes. About 70 citations in the various papers in this session referred to the Andes or coastal South America. To judge by the number of citations, geographical research on Andean aboriginal and peasant cultures in the 1970s was dominated by Dan Gade's work on the ethnobotany and ethnozoology of Peru and James Kus's work on prehistoric coastal Peruvian irrigation. There were also such particular contributions by United States geographers as David Basile (Ecuadorian agriculture), Don Hoy (population pressure), Greg Knapp and Norbert Psuty (coastal Peruvian agriculture), James Parsons and Bill Denevan (raised fields), Homer Aschmann (Guajiro Indians), Norman Stewart (Andean transhumance), and Stu White (Andean logging). To these can be added works by the British geographers Robin Donkin and David Preston. At the 1980 meeting, Denevan noted the more diversified and theoretical approaches to traditional food production by geographers and the potential for geographers to participate in development initiatives which respected rather than tried to eliminate the small farmer. Patrick seconded this point of view, pointing out the significance of love of place and of agriculture as a way of life. Davidson emphasized the special significance of ethnic groups and their connection with the land. Knapp pointed out the universality of subsistence production in society and Kus and Turner called for more interdisciplinary research projects and syntheses. To a considerable extent many of the potentials for cultural geography have been realized with new interdisciplinary projects, ethnic studies, and theoretically and methodologically innovative studies of agricultural landforms and strategies. Many geographers have continued to adhere to a perspective that values and respects rural Latin Americans, mistrusting socio-economic transformations that result in a loss of cultural or ecological values. In addition, Carl Sauer's Andean letters were published in 1982 as a wonderful memorial to his one journey to the region (West 1982). NEW CONTEXTS IN THE 1980S During the 1980s, democratic regimes replaced dictatorial regimes in all the Andean countries (albeit very late in the decade for Chile), while the prospects for orthodox Marxist social revolutions became even dimmer. Despite (or rather because of) economic depressions and debt crises, intellectuals and regimes moved towards a more eclectic approach to problem solving, more receptive to the private sector and non-governmental organizations. As urban migration continued without corresponding growth in urban per capita income, the urban bias in staple price policy became increasingly entrenched, contributing to rural malaise and outmigration and discouraging [end p. 165] agricultural modernization (Lawson and Brown 1988). The problems of the status quo, coupled with the absence of large coherent social classes capable of supporting a non-pluralist centralized state, resulted in new interests in decentralized solutions, the informal sector, ethnicity, and environmental and neighborhood issues. These in turn resulted in an unprecedented atmosphere of acceptance for the characteristic projects of cultural geographers; most of the geographers in this review essay participated in (or were drafted into) Andean and international development and institutional projects, with a surprising degree of freedom and opportunity to voice dissenting opinions and a surprising degree of welcome by diverse local institutions. CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY IN THE ANDES In Peru, two externally-trained professional geographers have contributed to cultural and historical studies of that country: Dr. Hildegardo Cordova and Dr. Nicole Bernex de Falen, both now members of the faculty of the Catholic University in Lima. Peru has annual geography meetings and sponsored the first International Geographical Conference of the Americas, held in Lima in 1988, which included several subsequently published papers in cultural geography (Bernex de Falen 1989; Denevan 1987; Gade 1988; Knapp 1988d). Peru, of course, possesses an outstanding community of historians, archaeologists, anthropologists and technical experts dedicated to the study of the country's culture and agriculture. During the last decade the reviews Revista Andina, Allpanchis, Historica, and Antropologica, among others, have published relevant articles. In Ecuador, geographers have traditionally been attracted to the Panamerican Center for Geographical Investigations and Studies (CEPEIGE), strategically located in the same building as the Military Geographic Institute (IGM) and the Panamerican Institute for Geography and History (IPGH). Cultural publications have been facilitated by the Salesian Fathers and their press, Abya Yala, which publishes the magazine Hombre y Ambiente: El Punto de Vista Indigena. An important event was a meeting in 1986 associated with the anniversary of the La Condamine expedition to Ecuador, which was specifically oriented to geographical topics (Comite Editorial de Cultura 1986). Geography is well represented in the country's premier university. The Americanist Congress in 1987 drew many cultural geographers to Bogota, Colombia, in sessions with papers that have been subsequently published (Denevan, Mathewson, and Knapp 1987). In Argentina, cultural geography has been supported by Alfredo Bolsi (Maeder and Bolsi 1980, 1982), but otherwise cultural and historical geography is relatively little pursued in the southern Andes (Reboratti 1982), although relevant works by non-geographers exist." @default.
