‘My grandmother who is an elephant is in the sky’. Pperception of the peri-urban space among the Qom of Derqui (Buenos Aires)

Using the analytic category of ‘overcrowded universe’ proposed by Florencia Tola (2012) for the cosmology of indigenous Qom of the Gran Chaco, I aim to demonstrate its validity for the case of migrant and peri-urban Qom of Derqui (Buenos Aires) with whom I work. According to native perspectives, the...

According to native perspectives, the periphery of the big city is presented as an ‘overcrowded universe’ by various non-human and mythological beings. Specifically, this article aims to analyze our field records in reference to two of them: the elephant of the sky and the anaconda-woman of the aquatic urban depths. More than loss due to migratory displacement, I observe continuities of the cosmology and in the perception of surrounding space. A partir de la categoría analítica de ‘universo superpoblado’ propuesta por Florencia Tola (2012) para la cosmología de los indígenas qom del Gran Chaco, es mi objetivo dar cuenta de su operatividad para el caso de los qom migrantes y periurbanos de Derqui (Buenos Aires) con quienes trabajo. La periferia de la gran ciudad se presenta, desde la percepción nativa, como un ‘universo superpoblado’ por diversos seres no-humanos y mitológicos. Puntualmente, en este artículo analizaré mis registros en torno a dos de ellos: el elefante habitante del plano celeste y la anaconda-mujer de las profundidades acuáticas periurbanas y urbanas. Más que pérdida por el desplazamiento migratorio, observo una continuidad cosmológica y en el modo de percibir el espacio circundante. Utilizando a categoria analítica de ‘universo superpovoado’ proposta por Florencia Tola (2012) para a cosmologia indígena dos qom do Grande Chaco, meu objetivo é dar conta de sua operabilidade para o caso dos qom migrantes e semiurbanos de Derqui (Buenos Aires) com quem trabalho. A periferia da grande cidade se apresenta, desde a percepção nativa, como um ‘universo superpovoado’ por diversos seres não-humanos e mitológicos. Pontualmente, neste artigo, vou analisar meus registros em relação a dois deles: o elefante habitante do céu e a anaconda-mulher das profundidades aquáticas urbanas. Mais que a perda por deslocamento migratório, observo a continuidade cosmológica e a maneira de perceber o espaço circundante. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/3883 10.34096/runa.v39i1.3883 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/runa/article/view/3883/4679 RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 39 No. 1 (2018) RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; Vol. 39 Núm. 1 (2018) RUNA, archivo para las ciencias del hombre; v. 39 n. 1 (2018) 1851-9628 0325-1217 Cosmologia Percepção Urbana Indígenas Qom Migração Buenos Aires Cosmología Percepción Urbana Indígenas Qom Migración Buenos Aires Cosmology Urban Perception Indigenous Qom Migration Buenos Aires ‘My grandmother who is an elephant is in the sky’.
