| description |
We inquired about the practices of "dressing the head" during the Late-Inka period in Northwest Argentina. We ask ourselves: what social categories does this field of representation relate to, what other socio-cultural practices were related to this art and how does it relate to the social reality of the time?
We analyzed headdresses and cephalic ornaments represented on anthropomorphic figures from Santamarian urns of Phase IV and compared them with archaeological, ethnohistorical and ethnographic case studies from the central and southern Andean area, with emphasis on northwestern Argentina and the Amazonian and Chaco slopes.
As a result, we identify eleven varieties of Santamarian cephalic ornaments, which are associated with NOA metal pieces, Aguada ceramic iconography and plumary art techniques from the Amazon and Gran Chaco. We propose that these ornaments are linked to the male gender and to hierarchical social roles, probably military, religious and/or political. Finally, we propose a set of interpretative hypotheses that allude to local strategies of social legitimization between social organizations of the NOA and the Inca state. |

Indagamos sobre las prácticas de “vestir la cabeza” hacia el período Tardío-Inka en el Noroeste Argentino. Nos preguntamos ¿con qué categorías sociales se relaciona este campo de representación? ¿Qué otras prácticas socioculturales se relacionaban con este arte? y ¿cómo se vincula lo anterior con la realidad social de aquella época?. Analizamos tocados y adornos cefálicos representados en figuras antropomorfas de urnas santamarianas de fase IV y los comparamos con casos de estudio arqueológicos, etnohistóricos y etnográficos del área Centro y Sur Andinas, con énfasis en el Noroeste Argentino y la vertiente Amazónica y Chaqueña. Como resultado identificamos once variedades de adornos cefálicos santamarianos, que se asocian a piezas metálicas del NOA, iconografía de cerámica Aguada y técnicas de arte plumario de la Amazonía y el Gran Chaco. Proponemos que estos adornos se vinculan con el género masculino y roles sociales jerárquicos, probablemente militares, religiosos y/o políticos. Por último, planteamos un conjunto de hipótesis interpretativas que aluden a estrategias locales de legitimación social entre organizaciones sociales del NOA y el Incario. Investigamos as práticas de "vestir a cabeça" no período Inka tardio no noroeste da Argentina. Perguntamo-nos: a que categorias sociais se refere esse campo de representação, que outras práticas socioculturais estavam associadas a essa arte e como ela se relaciona com a realidade social da época?Analisámos os toucados e os ornamentos cefálicos representados nas figuras antropomórficas das urnas santamarianas da Fase IV e comparámo-los com estudos de caso arqueológicos, etno-históricos e etnográficos da zona andina central e meridional, com ênfase no noroeste argentino e nas vertentes amazónica e chaco. Como resultado, identificámos onze variedades de ornamentos cefálicos santamarianos, que estão associados a peças metálicas da NOA, à iconografia cerâmica de Aguada e a técnicas de arte plumária da Amazónia e do Gran Chaco. Propomos que estes ornamentos estejam ligados ao género masculino e a papéis sociais hierárquicos, provavelmente militares, religiosos e/ou políticos. Finalmente, apresentamos um conjunto de hipóteses interpretativas que aludem a estratégias locais de legitimação social entre organizações sociais da NOA e do Império Inca.
