Abstract

Waters and Ravesloot (2001) test the assumption that natural river channel change caused periods of Hohokam cultural reorganization. However, they conclude that channel changes did not correlate with all periods and areas of significant cultural changes and that landscape alone cannot explain Hohokam transformations. An anthropological perspective on political ecology and disasters can explain why environmental processes and events differentially impact societies, differentially impact societies diachronically and differentially impact social groups within societies. We suggest that this perspective may explain the variability described by Waters and Ravesloot.

Résumé

Résumé

Waters y Ravesloot (2001) examinan la presunción de que los cambios de los canales naturales de los ríos pueden haber causado periodos de reorganización cultural de los Hohokam. Sin embargo, concluyen que los cambios en los canales no se correlacionan con todos los periodos y áreas que sufrieron cambios culturales significativos y que solo el paisaje no puede explicar las transformaciones de los Hohokam. Una perspectiva antropológica sobre ecología política y el estudio de los desastres explica por qué los sucesos y procesos medioambientales tienen un impacto diferenciado en distintas sociedades, afectan de forma distinta a las sociedades diacrónicamente, y tienen un impacto diferente en distintos grupos sociales dentro de las mismas sociedades. Sugerimos que esta perspectiva puede explicar la variabilidad descrita por Waters y Ravesloot.
