Knowledge and Learning in the Andes: Ethnographic Perspectives
Knowledge and Learning in the Andes: Ethnographic Perspectives
Cite
Abstract
The aim of this book is to explore the current research into the ways in which Andean peoples create, transmit, maintain, and transform their knowledge in culturally significant ways, and how processes of teaching and learning relate to these. The contributions, from researchers in anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and linguistics, include cross–disciplinary approaches, and cover a diverse geographic area from Ecuador to Peru, Bolivia, and Northern Chile. The case studies reflect on the variously harmonious and conflictive relationships between knowledge, power, communicative media and cultural identities in Andean societies, from within local, national and global perspectives.
