description This article analyzes the cultural meanings of the indigenous uprising of 2001 in Upper Napo as a means to investigating indigenous historicity.  Although there are various publications about the 2001 uprising, no one has looked at these events from the perspective of Kichwa historicity. The argument is that Amazonian Kichwa speakers structure and produce history through a conceptual complex of substance circulation (samai) that links social actors with primordial time-space.  Using a historical testimony about Jumandy, the paper shows how the symbolic complex of Kichwa language-culture allows people to create links of substance and power with mythohistoric beings.

Este trabajo analiza los significados culturales del levantamiento indígena en el 2001 en el alto Napo como modo de investigar la historicidad indígena. Aunque hay varias publicaciones sobre el levantamiento 2001 en Napo, no se han considerado estos eventos desde una perspectiva de la historicidad kichwa. El argumento es que la historia que producen los hablantes de kichwa amazónico se estructura como un complejo de circulación de sustancias (o samai) que vincula actores sociales con un tiempo-espacio primordial. A través de un testimonio histórico sobre Jumandy, se muestra cómo esta complejidad simbólica de lenguaje-cultura kichwa crea vínculos de sustancia y poder con seres mítico-históricos Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales, Sede Ecuador 2006-09-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf https://iconos.flacsoandes.edu.ec/index.php/iconos/article/view/180 10.17141/iconos.26.2006.180 Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; Núm. 26 (2006): Dossier: Populismo militar y etnicidad en los Andes; 161-172 Íconos - Revista de Ciencias Sociales; n. 26 (2006): Dossier: Populismo militar y etnicidad en los Andes; 161-172 Íconos.
