Abstract
El estudio antropológico presenta la epistemología de las narrativas kukama, una nación con
gran sensibilidad para transmitir el funcionamiento de sus formas de vida y modelos mentales.
En ese entrelazamiento, humanos y no humanos configuran lo cotidiano kukama pues tienen,
la posición kakura. Así, tenemos vidas que se originan, posicionan, circulan, predan,
familiarizan y se transforman. En consecuencia, la tierra, tuyuca, ya está volteada y eso se
relaciona nuevamente con la vida cotidiana. En su cosmovisión el río tiene alma, parana
tsawa, las piedras tienen encantos, las cochas, +patsu y renacos hablan entre sí. Es decir,
existe un espacio socializado kukama; mientras que la gente vive, sueña, come y duerme con
el corazón, iya. Los espacios son encantadores tejiendo una corporización espacial y
humana, pues la cocha, +patsu, representa las orejas humanas, los árboles renacos, el
tímpano humano y la planta de la yuca-ÿawiri, (Manihot esculenta) los brazos y las piernas
humanas. Las cerámicas arqueológicas son transportadas por los karuaras, gentes del río,
desde el mundo subacuático hacia a la tierra, revelando así una manera y forma de servise
la arqueología, humana y no humana en el área de planicie de inundación. La llegada de los
blancos trajo como consecuencia la reconfiguración las categorías y sus seres vivientes
surgiendo: el toro, la mula, el barco fantasma, pelacara, las torres de celulares, el petróleo y
el motocarro matador. Finalmente, existe una geografía afectiva dotada de sistemas
complejos kukama que son regidos por gentes entre geoontologías en la Amazonía Peruana
The anthropological study reveals epistemology of the kukama narratives, showing a nation with great sensitivity to transmit the functioning of its ways of life. In this intertwining, humans, no-humans and extra humans configure everyday life, in such a way that each people configures an ontology, because they have the kakura position. So we have lives that originate and position, circulate, familiarize and transform in the worlds. Consequently, the kukama, tuyuca, land is already turned over. This is the implications of the kukama’s daily lifestyle. The kukama narratives tell us that they think, eat and make life decisions with their hearts. For a clearer meaning of their actions, they also believe in dreams. From dreams it is possible to talk to drowned people who live in underwater worlds. So in this enchanted word, the lakes represent human ears, the trees the human eardrum and the cassava (Manihot esculenta) the human arms and legs. All of this forms the kukama corporatization. Archaeological ceramics are brought by the karuaras, the people who live below the water´s surface. The ceramics are placed in terrestrial spaces. Then we perceive a double human and no-human archeology that allows us to think that entities exist between geoontologies. The arrival of the colonizers has consequences in the social configuration because the initial kakura position is changed we have new forms of life that were not presented before such as: The bull, the ghost boat, the cell phone towers and the motorcycles that kill people in the city. Finally, there is a symbolic ecology composed of complex systems that are governed by entities that are between geoontologies in the Peruvian Amazon
