Las Nociones O’Dam De Cuerpo Y Persona. Diálogo Interrumpido Entre El Norte De México Y La Amazonía Peruana, Antonio Reyes
Las Nociones O’Dam De Cuerpo Y Persona. Diálogo Interrumpido Entre El Norte De México Y La Amazonía Peruana, Antonio Reyes
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reflexionar acerca de las nociones de cuerpo y persona del pueblo o’dam del norte de México, partiendo de los principios que Peter Gow y otros autores han observado para las poblaciones nativas de la región amazónica. Los cuerpos y las personas no son cosas “dadas” o “naturales”, sino que son el resultado de procesos constantes y complejos que articulan relaciones sociales, cosmologías y significaciones. Para el pueblo yine del río Bajo Urubamba investigado por Gow, el cuerpo y sus deseos se encuentran en el corazón de la economía y sirven como punto de unión …

“Too Many Meanings”: Reading “Piro Designs”, Paolo Fortis, Margherita Margiotti
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This paper explores the notion of painting as meaningful action (Gow 1999) and highlights the productivity of the idea as emerging from, and dovetailing, different strands of thought on the nature of symbols and actions. Bringing together Lévi-Strauss’ intuition on the dynamism and generativity of graphic systems, phenomenological studies on meaning making, and ethnographic analyses of Amazonian theories of corporeality and sociality, Gow has shown how Yine (Piro) designs provide a developmental model that combines ontogenesis and social change. This paper argues for the productivity of this approach in Amerindian studies, in anthropology, and in a dialogue with psychoanalytic theory …

Marginal To Whom? Reflections On Gow's "Purús Song", Magnus Course
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This paper constitutes a personal exploration of the impact of the work of Peter Gow on my own attempts to think through specific ethnographic problems, both in the Mapuche communities of Southern Chile and the Gaelic communities of Western Scotland. I focus in particular on how Gow’s lesser-known essay “Purús Song” inverts received wisdom about the relationships between center and periphery, and between nation-state and Indigenous people. I see this as one iteration of Gow’s broader aim of letting ethnographic realities transform theoretical complacencies.

Interviewing Peter Gow — Dundee, June 24, 2017, Ana Maria R. Gomes, Paulo Maia Figueiredo, Pedro Rocha De Almeida E Castro, Roberto R. Romero Jr.
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This interview presents an initial dialogue about Peter Gow’s trajectory as an anthropologist, trying to bring to light particularly the fieldwork experiences and events that it had not been possible to commenton and explore in the published material. Its aim is to understand more closely the particular ways in which Peter Gow had come to arrive at the insights and the analyses presented in his brilliant ethnographies with the Yine/Piro people of Amazonia.
