From the island’s point of view. Warfare and transformation in an Andean vertical archipelago
Abstract
From the island’s point of view. Warfare and transformation in an Andean vertical archipelago. The article combines John V. Murra’s theory of the « vertical archipelago » – a dynamic model of the changing historical relations between Andean societies, the complementary ecologies they inhabit, and emergent « State »-formations – with transformationalist theories developed among Amazonian peoples. Drawing on field-work with a longlived « archipelago » in the valleys of the Macha ayllu (Northern Potosí, Bolivia), the author shows the conflictive experience of valley « islands », which must invert their moiety affiliations to survive pressures from the larger groups in which they are implanted. The confusion of levels of segmentation and the « island » formation produces different valley alliances from those sought on the puna, while presupposing a shared horizon of ideas concerning violence. Andean warfare is characterized by the same « ontological instability » at the blurred frontier between humans and animals that is found among other Amerindian groups, and elsewhere in the world. Different kinds of shapeshifting during fiestas and warfare, and the reformulation of animal-human frontiers, are seen to be related to different social and historical contexts.

Classic ethnohistoric insights into regional patterns of connectivity in the south-central Andes emphasized 'vertical' relationships between the highlands and the valleys.
“Many of the classic ethnohistoric insights into regional patterns of connectivity in the south-central Andes -such as altiplano-centered systems of ecological complementarity (Murra 1975(Murra , 1985) ) and the resultant patterns of discontinuous territoriality (Platt 2009;Ramírez 1985) and multiethnicity (Hidalgo and Focacci 1986) at lower elevations -emphasized 'vertical' relationships between”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
