Journey : Understanding realities / Indigenous Harakbut community and mining relationship in a western dominant culture.

FLORES CALDAS, KARLA FRANCISCA January 2022 (has links)
The indigenous ontology has been differentiated from the western one by having a close relationship between humans and non-humans, and by not exerting human supremacy against the rest of the living beings. Nevertheless, throughout the periods of colonization and western influence to which they have been subjected, the notion of human supremacy and the fracture between humans and all beings have been reinforced. These relationships have been altered, perhaps forgotten, due to the aspiration to follow economic models of progress based on extractive activities such as mining that not only affects their territories but also the loss of their culture and identity causing serious socio-environmental problems.  In order to deepen these relationships, raise awareness and understanding the changes that vulnerable populations have to face in a dominant system, this work studies the Harakbut indigenous community of Puerto Luz, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, and relates a design field in the form of journey which involves research and analysis with stages of knowing and non-knowing from the social science and humanities perspective. Through the anthropological framework, the indigenous and western ontological postulates are understood allowing the development of a creative writing and the correspondence between an interaction of ethnography with the production of new knowledge realities that allow for the verification of the changes this indigenous society, influenced by western dominant power, experiences. This somewhat decolonizing design process gives on to the understanding of new knowledge and challenges that address realities outside Western spheres to generate awareness and change.
