Current Issue: Volume 20, Issue 1 (2024) Indigenous peoples in the Guianas: contemporary ethnographies
Volume 20 (1) of Tipití is a special issue on the Guyanese Amazon, an ethnographic area that was consolidated at the end of the 1980s. Eight articles revisit classic themes and present new questions within the Guyanese debate. In particular, we would like to highlight the inclusion of two texts by an anthropologist and an archaeologist Indigenous to the region that highlight new perspectives on time and the landscape. The integration of audio files of the narration of a myth and sensory access to Wai Wai music plays a part in this opening-up of analytical perspectives. As the editors of the issue rightly point out, the diversity of anthropological traditions in this issue is exemplary, and admirably reflects the plurality we seek to ingrain in our editorial policy.Introduction
