Resumen

SENDON, Pablo F.. Ch´ullpa y sociedades de pastores en los andes centrales y meridionales (siglos XIX y XX): una propuesta. Poblac. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.2, pp.95-145. ISSN 1852-8562.

The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the comparative possibilities between two different sets of data: on the one hand, the archaeological structures known as ch´ullpa in the Central and Southern Andes; on the other hand, any kind of indication about the presence of pastoralism under the areas in which ch´ullpa has been found. To accomplish this goal the paper proposes the review of the literature by relevant travelers and archeologists during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At the same time, it argues that some of the conclusions of this review should be considered under the light shed by the contemporary ethnography that focuses on these populations. Accordingly, this paper explores the relationship between society and nature through the possible articulation of a social space at the Andes crossed by shepherds and marked by ch´ullpa.

Palabras clave : Ch´ullpa; Shepherds; Pastoralism; Central and South Andes.
