Resumen
Esta tesis analiza las dinámicas de identidad y cultura dentro de la comunidad de indígenas pescadores Wayúu de Mmayapu. En particular describe las formas como se han manifestado los diferentes cambios ocurridos en actividades económicas, costumbres, rituales, saberes sobre la pesca en Mmayapu. Todas estas prácticas vienen siendo objeto de intervenciones externas, las cuáles han incidido en cambios que se vienen presentando en la organización social de la comunidad. La tesis se apoya en trabajos de otros autores que fueron analizados críticamente, frente al material de campo recogido. A partir de este análisis se busca entender el proceso de adaptación, que hasta donde la información recogida permite inferir, ha permitido conservar la identidad cultural del grupo, especialmente a través del papel desempeñado por las mujeres Wayúu.
This thesis analyses the dynamics of identity and culture among the indigenous community of Wayúu fishermen in Mmayapu. In particular, the work focuses on the forms and manifestations of the changes occurred in economic activities, customs, rituals, and knowledge about fishing as well as in the social and cultural organisation in Mmayapu. These changes are related to external interventions that 3 have variously impacted upon the community. While drawing on other authors' work, this thesis also departs from them and, based on the ethnographic material collected by the candidate, demonstrates how the Wayúu have been reconfiguring and recreating their culture while integrating other external cultural elements. To this end, are innovatively analysed the particular role played by Wayúu women in the process, as well as the ways in which they have been enhancing the indigenous cultural dynamics in Mmayapu.
