Description
Summary:The historiographic trace of the Chaco Indian peoples appears as laid out in coherent but discontinuous stratas of ethnonyms. These stratas reflects the state at a specific time of the field of interethnic relationships and mediations. Through the analysis of the different stratas and the gaps between them we aim at understanding the organization and evolution of the field of Indian mediations in the Boreal Chaco. We base our argumentation on the "ishir" (chamacoco) case. Our analysis shows, from ethnographic data and archives, how this group cannot be studied outside of the mediation network that make it into a sociological interethnic continuum: the analysis of the successive ethnonymic stratas reveals how these mediations were organized throughout time.
