Literally hundreds of languages world-wide have experienced direct or indirect Hispanisation during the heyday of the Spanish colonial empire. The number of languages which continue to borrow from Spanish on a daily basis is considerable especially in Latin America. This volume gives the reader a better idea of the range of contact constellations in which Spanish functions as the donor language. Moreover, the contributions to this collection of articles demonstrate that it is not only possible to compare the contact-induced processes in the (Hispanised) languages of Austronesia and the Americas. It is emphasized that one can draw far-reaching conclusions from the presented borrowing facts for the theory of language contact in general. The volume is divided into two sections according to geographical principles: section I is devoted to contacts of Spanish in Latin America. Two contributions look at the Hispanisation of varieties of Nahuatl (Classical Nahuatl studied by Anne Jensen and modern varieties studied by José Antonio Flores Farfán). Martina Schrader-Kniffki discusses Spanish-Zapotec contacts and their relations to language mixing and purism. Luciano Giannelli and Raoul Zamponi address the issue of Hispanisms in Kuna, a language from Panama. For South America, Jorge Gómez-Rendón discusses whether or not there are constraints on lexical borrowing from Spanish into Imbabura Quichua. Suzanne Dikker studies the intertwined language Media Lengua in her attempt at redefining the notion of relexification. Section II focuses on the impact of Spanish on the languages of Austronesia and South-East Asia. Steven Roger Fischer shows that the heavy Hispanisation of Rapanui is currently being reverted. Steve Pagel compares Hispanisation processes and their results in the Mariana Islands and on Rapa Nui. The second comparative study is by Patrick O. Steinkrüger who reviews a variety of Philippinian languages and their degrees of Hispanisation. The attitudes of native speakers of Chamorro as to Hispanisms is the topic of the study by Rosa Salas Palomo and Thomas Stolz. The volume is especially interesting for students of language contact. But also scholars with a background in Romance linguistics or Hispanic philology will find the assembled articles very useful, as well as Austronesianists and Amerindianists.

The Kuna of Panama, today one of the best known indigenous peoples of Latin America, moved over the course of the twentieth century from orality and isolation towards literacy and an active engagement with the nation and the world. Recognizing the fascination their culture has held for many outsiders, Kuna intellectuals and villagers have collaborated actively with foreign anthropologists to counter anti-Indian prejudice with positive accounts of their people, thus becoming the agents as well as subjects of ethnography. One team of chiefs and secretaries, in particular, independently produced a series of historical and cultural texts, later published in Sweden, that today still constitute the foundation of Kuna ethnography. As a study of the political uses of literacy, of western representation and indigenous counter-representation, and of the ambivalent inter-cultural dialogue at the heart of ethnography, Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers addresses key issues in contemporary anthropology. It is the story of an extended ethnographic encounter, one involving hundreds of active participants on both sides and continuing today.

Known for their beautiful textile art, the Kuna of Panama have been scrutinized by anthropologists for decades. Perhaps surprisingly, this scrutiny has overlooked the magnificent Kuna craft of nuchukana—wooden anthropomorphic carvings—which play vital roles in curing and other Kuna rituals. Drawing on long-term fieldwork, Paolo Fortis at last brings to light this crucial cultural facet, illuminating not only Kuna aesthetics and art production but also their relation to wider social and cosmological concerns. Exploring an art form that informs birth and death, personhood, the dream world, the natural world, religion, gender roles, and ecology, Kuna Art and Shamanism provides a rich understanding of this society’s visual system, and the ways in which these groundbreaking ethnographic findings can enhance Amerindian scholarship overall. Fortis also explores the fact that to ask what it means for the Kuna people to carve the figure of a person is to pose a riddle about the culture’s complete concept of knowing. Also incorporating notions of landscape (islands, gardens, and ancient trees) as well as cycles of life, including the influence of illness, Fortis places the statues at the center of a network of social relationships that entangle people with nonhuman entities. As an activity carried out by skilled elderly men, who possess embodied knowledge of lifelong transformations, the carving process is one that mediates mortal worlds with those of immortal primordial spirits. Kuna Art and Shamanism immerses readers in this sense of unity and opposition between soul and body, internal forms and external appearances, and image and design.

Molas, the distinctive blouses made and worn by Kuna women in Panama, are collected by thousands of enthusiasts as well as by anthropological museums all over the world. They are recognized everywhere as an identifier of the Kuna people and also of Panama. This book, based on original research, explores the origin of the mola in the early twentieth century, how it became part of the everyday dress of Kuna women, and its role in creating Kuna identity. Images drawn from more than twenty museums as well as private collections show the development of designs and techniques and highlight changes in the garment as an item of indigenous fashion. Applying an interdisciplinary approach—fusing historical, ethnographic, and material culture studies—author Diana Marks contributes to ongoing debates on cultural authenticity, the invention of traditions, and issues of gender and politics.

En estado de sitio es el resultado de una investigación etnográfica conducida con el objetivo de documentar la vida diaria de la comunidad indígena kuna de Arquía, a partir del contexto conflictivo en el cual se desarrolla su cotidianidad. Los kunas habitan la región del Urabá, al noroccidente de Colombia, cerca de la frontera con la República de Panamá, en una de las áreas del mundo con mayor riqueza y diversidad de especies animales y vegetales: un “paraíso verde” que, durante los últimos años, ha sido el epicentro de una crisis humanitaria muy grave. A pesar de la información de origen institucional que se niega a admitirlo, el Urabá se encuentra, todavía hoy, en estado de guerra. En la región están presentes grupos armados cuyo objetivo es el control de sus trochas, ríos y selvas, que se han vuelto rutas estratégicas utilizadas para el narcotráfico y el contrabando. Alrededor de los territorios kunas todavía se combate, todavía se mata, todavía hay desapariciones y violencia: el paisaje ecológico y social en que se desarrolla su cotidianidad está sufriendo daños irreversibles.

Il “corpo sciamanico” è centrale nella storia degli studi, nella letteratura, nelle pratiche simboliche, nei repertori mitici, nel discorso scientifico. Tale idea ha ispirato nuovi movimenti religiosi nella ricerca di antiche arti della guarigione, sollecitando un rinnovato interesse per lo sciamanesimo in Occidente nel campo delle tecniche terapeutiche contemporanee. Questa raccolta di studi nasce da una serie di seminari tenuti da studiosi e studiose di diverse discipline (storico-religiose, etno-antropologiche, sociologiche e psicologiche) e spazia dall’americanistica all’indologia, all’egittologia, con l’obiettivo comune di analizzare l’influenza sui corpi delle diverse modalità di alterazione degli stati di coscienza, le cui implicazioni sociali e religiose sono da intendersi nel senso della costruzione di una relazione con la dimensione extraumana, ma anche più genericamente dell’instaurazione di dinamiche comunicative dell’individuo con l’altro da sé (umano, extraumano, animale). Il volume comprende saggi dal taglio storico-comparativo, studi di carattere storico-letterario, casi di studio, ricerche sul campo. L’uso, la percezione e la rappresentazione del corpo contribuiscono a ripensare la nozione di sciamanesimo e quella di persona, qui intesa come agente in uno stato di alterazione di coscienza, sia esso definibile trance, estasi o possessione.
