This book offers a new anthropological understanding of the
socio-cosmological and ontological characteristics of the
Isthmo-Colombian Area, beyond established theories for Amazonia,
the Andes and Mesoamerica. It focuses on a core region that has
been largely neglected by comparative anthropology in recent
decades. Centering on relations between Chibchan groups and their
neighbors, the contributions consider prevailing socio-cosmological
principles and their relationship to Amazonian animism and
Mesoamerican and Andean analogism. Classical notions of area
homogeneity are reconsidered and the book formulates an overarching
proposal for how to make sense of the heterogeneity of the region's
indigenous groups. Drawing on original fieldwork and comparative
analysis, the volume provides a valuable anthropological addition
to archaeological and linguistic knowledge of the Isthmo Colombian
Area.
