The present text has as objective to do an anthropological lecture of a character in principle of fiction, Braschi, of the last novel, unfinished, by Jose Maria Arguedas (†1969), The fox from up above and the fox from down below (1971), but that is sustained, in the vision of the novelist, in a real character, Luis Banchero Rossi (†1972), distinguished peruvian businessman of the fish industry. The character that Arguedas conceives and draws, since his liberating political presupposed, it is a execration that attempts against nature and humanity, against life and morality; it is the evil encarnate, a falsifier, a liberator feigned; finally, a caricature of the Che Guevara –representation that contrasts paradoxically with the mystified reading that some populars sectors in Lima do in the present when they visit the Banchero’s tomb and they ask him miracles and favors like to a sai...

How the “leap” of the data, to the abstract discourse of interpretation and analysis, occurs in Social Anthropology, is a perennialepistemological and methodological question in the social sciences. The multivocality and historicity of the response, always plural,shows that the social sciences are also subject to the accidents of becoming, intersubjectivity, criticism, and historical processes,which affect the legitimacy of discourse. Notwithstanding this, and since extreme relativism is unacceptable, it can be acceptedthat there are certain methodological and epistemological problems that can be recognized, and that deserve to be overcome, inorder to avoid incurring in epistemological inconsistencies. Thus, what this text develops, as a pertinent exercise, is to point outand elucidate some of those let’s call them epistemological-methodological problems, which continuously occur a...

Libro de 212 páginas, una introducción, cinco capítulos y conclusiones, es un texto complejo en su proposición fundamental y su argumentación, siendo que involucra fuentes marcadamente heteróclitas, en términos de evidencia, de instrumentos teóricos y de análisis, de criterios etnográficos, etnológicos e históricos de comparación de distintas latitudes, y de metodología y perspectiva multidisciplinar: sustenta su tesis con crónicas etnohistóricas de los siglos XVI y XVII, con teoría clásica de la formación de los estados antiguos y su vínculo con el concepto de monarquía divina, o de la formación de la teología política medieval, así como teoría estructualista de inspiración etnológica sobre la formación del Estado Inca, con etnografías de monarquías divinas sin formación estatal y de estructuras sociales duales arcaicas, y con estudios iconográficos o an...

The takanakuy is a periodic and cyclical festival complex that takes place mainly in some towns in the pro-vince of Chumbivilcas, department of Cusco, and that is expressed visibly and prominently in a sum of fist and kick fights between pairs of men, representatives family groups or villages, including adolescents and children, and that in the last twenty years has spread to women. Despite the manifest diffusion of the exis-tence of this festivity of the takanakuy throughout Peru, in the last at least fifteen years, thanks to the access of the media and the internet, and to the fact that the State in 2016 declared the huaylía of Chumbivilcas , which accompanies the takanakuy, «Cultural Heritage of the Nation», this report postulates —as it will be sustained and demonstrated based on extensive fieldwork and reading of relevant sources— that this supposed closeness, affinity or emp...

El presente texto tiene como objetivo hacer una lectura antropológica de un personaje en principio de ficción, Braschi, de la última novela, inconclusa, de José María Arguedas (†1969), El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo (1971), pero que se sustenta, en la visión del novelista, en un personaje real, Luis Banchero Rossi (†1972), connotado empresario peruano de la industria del pescado. El personaje que concibe y dibuja Arguedas, desde sus presupuestos políticos liberadores, es una execración que atenta contra la naturaleza y la humanidad, contra la vida y la moral; es el mal encarnado, un falsario, un fingido liberador; finalmente, una caricatura del Che Guevara —representación que contrasta paradójicamente con la lectura mistificada que en el presente hacen algunos sectores populares en Lima que visitan la tumba de Banchero y le piden milagros o favores, como a un sant...

La Universidad Norbert Wiener presenta su quinto número de la Revista de Investigación. En el tercer número, de 2014, anunciábamos que pretendíamos una indización, y por eso insistir en ciertos rigores formales y procurar la mejor calidad y pertinencia de información, temas y argumentación de los papers. Bien, desde el presente número la Revista ha logrado la indización en Latindex, lo que nos empuja a ser aun más rigurosos y ofrecer mayor producción de resultados y avances de investigaciones.

El presente es el sexto número de la Revista de Investigación de la Universidad Norbert Wiener. Interesados en la integración de disciplinas diversas que discurran, discutan o converjan, y en abrir la convocatoria a discursos también de fuera de la institución, en lo que hacemos esfuerzos, debe noticiarse lo siguiente: desde inicios de 2016, por iniciativa del Rectorado, existe un Fondo Concursable de Investigación para Docentes, un programa anual que promociona la producción intelectual y científica.

An arduous task for the anthropologist as an ethnographer, responsible for carrying out field work, is to delimit (establish limits) and configure (give shape to what doesn’t usually have it), the abundant information that may eventually be accessed. A serious problem is finding the rationality of social processes, that is, finding the causal or concomitance relationships between the heteroclitic factors or variables that make up social processes, which are always historical. Extreme empiricism is an epistemological error, as is what is called teleology. Nominalism as an epistemological strategy and what it implies can be the way to bridge the extremes. The present text, following the brief intellectual biography of a wise man, a character of Borges, offers, helped by some fundamental theorists of the social sciences, some clues that guide to a good conclusion.

The existence of the cult to Luis Banchero Rossi —Peruvian businessman of the fish industry, who was murdered in 1972—, in the Angel cemetery, it demands the interest for its genesis, being that it is a religious cult to a secular character. The present text find that this is possible for two reasons: the violent death produce holiness; and the sacralization is not restricted to the limits of the institutionalized religion. Moreover, it proposes that, in the efficient, a factor that explains the cult is the book El caso Banchero (1973), of the journalist and writer Guillermo Thorndike. Furthermore, it practices an anthropological exegesis of it; and it evidences in this, mystified and messianic traits of the character, his life and his death; and they are understood like antecedents of the cult. Popular cults are disseminated fundamentally through of the orality, not by the written w...

La existencia del culto en el cementerio El Ángel a Luis Banchero Rossi empresario peruano de la industria de pescado, asesinado en 1972 exige el interés por su génesis, dado que es un culto religioso a un personaje secular. El presente texto halla que esto es posible por dos razones: la muerte violenta produce santidad, y la sacralización no se restringe a los límites de la religión institucionalizada. Además, plantea que, en lo eficiente, un factor que explica el culto lo constituye el libro El caso Banchero (1973), delperiodista y escritor Guillermo Thorndike. Además, practica una exégesis antropológica y evidencia rasgos mistificados y mesiánicos del personaje, su vida y su muerte, lo que se entiende como un antecedentedel culto. Los cultos populares se difunden en lo fundamental a través de la oralidad, no por la palabra escrita; sin embargo, en este caso se desdibujan l...
