Bodies that speak from the original lands: a microsocioterritorial review to the communities of K'enkonay, Vilcabamba and Toctohuaylla

Abstract

To recognize the attempts of cultural monopolization that comes from the dominant systems toward the original peoples, is an urgent necessity for the inhabitants of the navel of the world, and even more, for the educational actors who deconstruct their gaze toward the reclaiming of their historical legacy. El objetivo del estudio es interpretar y valorar las tierras originarias olvidadas en la región Cusco, las cuales se encuentran en tres comunidades: K´enkonay, Vilcabamba y Toctohuaylla, todas ubicadas en el distrito de Huanoquite. The methodological construct is based on the qualitative approach of documentary review accompanied by in-depth interviews, which were categorized and interpreted maintaining the essence of the three binding actors. The results reveal that the historical memory of the original peoples is being eroded by the tentacles of globalization and, if this continues, the Quechua language could be in danger of extinction. It is concluded that, the persistence of the aforementioned peoples towards the attempts of cultural colonization of the blocks of the first world, can be overcome through efficient public policies of border content formulated from the structure of the Peruvian State and an education under the competence of knowledge and sentires.
