    PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan, MA in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Anthropology specialty of the Department of Social Sciences of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. He is in charge of the Peasantry course in the Undergraduate program of Anthropology and  of the Image Analysis course in the Master of Visual Anthropology. His research interests focus on the relationships between extractive industries, in particular mining, and rural society; the semiotics of indigenous practices of relationship to the landscape; the articulation of narratives of modernity, regionalism, and ideologies of ethnic-racial differentiation; and the growing importance of tourism and conversions to evangelism in rural Andean societies. He is currently coordinating a research project that analyzes how the Quechua practices that attribute agency and intent to mountains mediate the emergence and transformation of conflicts between local communities and mining projects. Among his recent publications are the articles Places are Kin: Food, Cohabitation, and Sociality in the Southern Peruvian Andes (2016), Wak'a: Entifications of the Andean sacred (2015, co-authored with Bruce Mannheim) and The Glacier, the Rock , the Image: Emotional Experience and Semiotic Diversity at the Quyllurit'i Pilgrimage (Cuzco, Peru) (2014).

Abstract

Reseña brevemente los artículos de un compendio que analizan cómo conjuntos de fotografías, al cambiar de ámbitos a través del tiempo y del espacio, al entrar y salir de ciertas estructuras de archivo, al cambiar de contextos ideológicos y políticos, cambian lo que son, lo que muestran, emergiendo como evidencias de cosas o eventos distintos y lejanos a las intenciones de sus creadores.
