This international workshop, which associates senior researchers and PhD candidates in
intense discussions, aims for a comparative understanding of the Isthmo-Colombian Area in
relation to Amazonia, the Andes and Mesoamerica and will focus on the relations between
the Chibchan groups and their neighbors in linguistic and anthropological terms. It will
evaluate and develop basic assumptions about the ethnological and linguistic specificity of
the Isthmo-Colombian Area in terms of linguistic lexical reconstruction, comparative
anthropology and ethnographic and ethnohistorical case studies.
Local socio-cosmologies will be comparatively inquired by focusing on principles of kinship
and social organization, forms of shamanism and priesthood, ritual and oral traditions, the
conception of things and life, the relationship toward plants and animals, as well as
contemporary forms of post-colonial indigeneity.
