Abstract

My research examines multiple identities with different values and agencies. These actors built identities that strategically oscillate between the colonizer’s view and the parodic response of the colonized or racialized other. My dissertation will thus question approaches to Andean and Amazonian studies by proposing epistemological and parodic turns that have been relegated in this type of studies.
My dissertation is based on the concept of fractality, which is a mathematical theory molded to the social sciences by anthropologists such as Marilyn Strathern, Roy Wagner, Marisol de la Cadena, and Danièle Dehouve. With this concept I try to analyze in another way the ethnic (Indian/White) and gender (Male/Female) polarities. Fractal thinking proposes that the larger is revealed in the smaller. Also, it is a non-hierarchical and dynamic process. This dilutes the dichotomies between Man/Nature, Nature/Culture, Death/Life.
According with these ideas, my dissertation focusses in this corpus: Fractality patterns put into dialogue with Andean and Amazonian relational ontologies (Gamaliel Churata, César Calvo, Guamán Poma, the Huarochirí Manuscript) and fractal representations in a Trans-Andean and Spectral perspective (Churata, Calvo, Guamán Poma, José María Arguedas, J. J. Flores, Inocencio Mamani, transvestite subjects, Andean Horror Cinema, Guerrillas and Armed Conflict). Also, I focus on concepts related to Shamanism, Animal Theory, Post-Humanism, and Andean Linguistics.
