        Üñüm püllü. Bird spirit

        by Lorenzo Aillapán

        Lorenzo Aillapán, recognized as a Living Human Treasure in 2012 by UNESCO, is the Mapuche bird man - üñümche in Mapuzugun. A poet originally from the coast of the Araucanía Region, he is a great connoisseur of nature, of the mysteries hidden by living beings on land and in the sea. Part of this wisdom is shared with the readers in these 46 poems about diverse organisms that inhabit different environments: the water (fish and seafood), the mountainous universe (trees) and the winged universe (birds). Through hisverses, the poet describes various aspects of these living beings: what they are like, what the place is like where they live, how they behave, what use they can be put to and what importance they have for the Mapuche people. In the case of the birds, the poems also incorporate the onomatopoeia of their song. This complete anthological volume is bilingual Mapuzugun/Spanish.

        Retomada

        by Pablo Albarenga

        Con esta selección fotográfica registrada entre 2016 y 2019, Pablo Albarenga nos adentra en la vida y la lucha de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil por recuperar sus territorios.Muchos son los pueblos originarios que viven en América Latina. Los que se identifican hoy como guaraníes vivieron y transitaron en la región comprendida por Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay. Se dice que si caminamos de Uruguay a Brasil y luego a Bolivia, podríamos dormir cada noche en una tekoá distinta. Las tekoás son aldeas donde preservan su legado ancestral; tekoá significa, en lengua guaraní, la tierra sin mal, el lugar donde se lleva a cabo la forma de ser guaraní.Estos pueblos de tierras bajas han hecho evidente una impactante capacidad para oponerse a eso que llamamos progreso. Son los que han enfrentado con mayor firmeza a las grandes obras y megaproyectos, desde la represa de Belo Monte (Brasil) hasta la carretera que atraviesa el Territorio Indígena y Parque Nacional Isiboro-Sécure (Bolivia).Las retomadas —reocupaciones de tierras indígenas— son un retorno a lo esencial, un acto de rebeldía de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil para volver a unirse con el territorio ancestral. Estos pueblos nos interpelan sobre si somos capaces de reconocer la diferencia, de aceptar la libertad del otro, su derecho a ser y a elegir cómo vivir. Pues en su libertad se evidencian nuevos rumbos posibles que nos obligan a mirarnos en su espejo para repensarnos.

      • Multi-Ethnic Bird Guide of the Subantarctic Forests of South America

        by Ricardo Rozzi and collaborators

        The subantarctic forests of South America are the world’s southernmost forested ecosystems. The birds have sung in these austral forests for millions of years; the Yahgan and Mapuche peoples have handed down their bird stories from generation to generation for hundreds of years. In Multi-ethnic Bird Guide of the Subantarctic Forests of South America, Ricardo Rozzi and his collaborators present a unique combination of bird guide and cultural ethnography. The book includes entries on fifty bird species of southern Chile and Argentina, among them the Magellanic Woodpecker, Rufous-Legged Owl, Ringed Kingfisher, Buff-Necked Ibis, Giant Hummingbird, and Andean Condor. Each bird is named in Yahgan, Mapudungun, Spanish, English, and scientific nomenclature, followed by a description, full color photographs, the bird’s distribution map, habitat and lifestyle, and its history in the region. Each entry is augmented further with indigenous accounts of the bird in history and folklore. “Highly original in its approach of combining information on natural history and biodiversity with information on the region’s human cultural and linguistic diversity.”—Chris Elphick, coauthor of The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior

        Chile geopoético

        by Miguel Laborde

        Esta publicación reúne veintiocho columnas del investigador, académico y escritor Miguel Laborde, con ilustraciones de Alejandra Acosta, publicadas en la revista La Panera. Sus textos dan cuenta de una serie de datos geográficos e históricos que permiten asomarse a ciertos rasgos distintivos de Chile desde los cuales se construye un relato del imaginario local. La geopoética como concepto nace como una herramienta para comprender y expresar nuestra relación con el mundo y el pensar a la Tierra. Considera la cultura como el modo en el que los seres humanos se conciben a sí mismos y se organizan y orientan. “Desde el punto de vista literario, un libro como este, que corrió el riesgo de ser concebido por la vía de la protesta en un lenguaje de pura comunicación, es, por el contrario, un libro poético, de excelente prosa, de gran riqueza de imágenes y sorpresas de lógica e ilógica. Su crítica al modelo de civilización vigente es lapidaria, pero de un furor contenido”. Gastón Soublette
