Creating Context in Andean Cultures

Twelve contributions examine the oral tradition and other media of expression among the Andean people. Ten of the papers were delivered to the conference on Textuality in Amerindian Cultures: Production Reception Strategies conceived by the editor and William Rowe held in May 1991 at the University of London. Arrangement is in four sections covering textualizing histories and identities in cultural performances; ritual weaving and the making of meanings; processes of textualization in written Quechua discourse; and orality and literacies as reflexes of colonization and resistance.
