This article presents the results of a qualitative research project with an ethnographic approach based on interviews and observation of the work of artisanal fishers in Casma, a small coastal town in northern Peru. It explores the worldview, work techniques, and the changes, difficulties, and challenges faced by this fishing community. The study reveals how fishers perceive the sea as a living entity governed by spiritual norms and ritual practices; Furthermore, the fishers' technical language reflects their experience and the intergenerational transmission of knowledge. All of this allows us to understand how these elements shape a local knowledge that articulates experience, tradition, and adaptation to changes in fishing activity. It also highlights the importance of documenting and valuing this local knowledge as part of intangible cultural heritage

This article analyzes the perceived discrimination discourse of peruvian women merchants of second-use clothing and footwear on the peruvian-chilean border. The activity they carry out is part of the small-value trade protected by a special border regime of the 1929 treaty, but today, after subsequent legislative processes, it is an informal, illegal and criminalized practice in Tacna (Peru). Based on the methodological proposal of David Mellor (2003) and Eugenia Merino (2006) for the Critical Discourse Analysis of Perceived Discrimination, it seeks to reveal, through their personal narratives, the way in which this group of merchants perceives their representation. and stigmatization. The survey of their life stories shows the pre-eminence of two main categories of discrimination, the «institutional» and the «verbal»; likewise, among the topics that make up these categories, the top...

Based on the analysis of local newspaper reports (from 1980 to 2010) regarding three popular festivals associated with the cultural practices of Andean migrants in Tacna (Peru), this article identifies and characterizes the social representation of this social actor in the discourse disseminated by the local press during that period regarding the festivals of Las Cruces, the Virgin of Copacabana, and Carnival. A process of stigmatization is observed around religiosity, hygiene, and urbanity that collide with the hegemonic representation of the cultural practices of the «Tacneño» (inhabitant of Tacna), and a discourse of control over religious and festive practices, thereby constructing identity differentiation and promoting physical and symbolic exclusion from the cultural practices of Andean migrants. The article argues that the press in Tacna has contributed to the configuration of ...

La pesca artesanal es una actividad mediante la cual el ser humano extrae recursos hidrobiológicos con la finalidad de satisfacer el consumo humano directo. Los hombres que han hecho de esta actividad un modo de vivir poseen una serie de conocimientos técnicos aprendidos por herencia cultural y, sobre todo, por la experiencia que les dan los años en el oficio. Estos conocimientos empíricos, especializados y funcionales —pues su finalidad es el éxito en la pesca— de los pescadores de Casma son expresados a través de su léxico, el cual refleja, además, las formas en que dicha comunidad de hablantes ha parcelado su realidad con el único objeto de aprehenderlas. El léxico de los pescadores de Casma es, por tanto, una especialización de la lengua española, y forma parte de la cultura intangible de los pobladores. La presente tesis describe las características culturales de la...

Tacna is a Peruvian border city whose main economic activity is family business; therefore, the development of the financial culture plays an important role in the formation of the next generations that will lead the family businesses. From this, an investigation was carried out to know the characteristics of the financial education of children whose direct family environment is dedicated to commerce, both formal and informal. For this, a mixed methodology was used based on surveys and interviews applied to students in the last grade of the primary education level of three educational institutions. The capacities of the 19th competency of the Peruvian Regular Basic Education were used as observation criteria. From this, it was found that these students have developed the financial culture; however, the school has little participation in the acquisition of such knowledge. Instead, it is t...
