ONLINE ARTICLES AND WORKS



1. A Genealogy of My Professors and Informants

*This article was originally given as a lecture in Spanish at the University of Buenos Aires, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, on June 23, 2003 and published in Spanish. The text was revised and augmented in Paris and New York in March and April, 2005 and it presents my favorite professors and principal fieldwork informants over the last sixty years.



2. The End of a World

*First appeared in English in Natural History vol. 80 (3): 32-41, 1971 under the title of "Lola" and again in 2003. This version is longer and slightly different from those published previously.

Poem: Memory of Kiepja



3. Angela Loij

*First published in Spanish in the Journal de la Société des Américanistes: vol. 62: 235-36, 1975, Paris, in English several times, and slightly modified since the last version in 2003.



4. The Moon-woman in Selk'nam Society

*This article was first published under the title: "An Essay on several myths and rites of the Selk'nam" in French in Objets et Mondes, tome 12, 1972, Paris, in Spanish in Karukinka no. 6, 1973, Buenos Aires and in English in 2003. I have brought the text up to date, to December 2004, clarified and added to the main myths, made additional comments and stylistic changes.



5. Economy and Social Structure of the Selk'nam Society

*This article was published in Spanish in Culturas Indígenas de la Patagonia, Turner editions, Madrid, 171-99, 1990. The two works of Karl Marx were consulted in Spanish, as they were the only ones available at the time. As I translated the quotations below into English, they may not entirely coincide to the authorized translations of these two works. The following text has been rewritten and details added for this edition "On Line," though essentially it remains the same as the original published in Spanish and English in The End of a World. The Selk’nam of Tierra del Fuego, Santiago, Chile, 2003.



6. Where the Seas Clash: The land of the ancient Haush, Tierra del Fuego

*First published in Karukinka Cuadernos Fueguinos, nu.3-5, 1973, Buenos Aires. This version and the notes are slightly longer than the original in Spanish and one in English published in 2003.

Poem: Lament for the Indians of Tierra del Fuego
