Este artículo reflexiona sobre las representaciones que sobre el trabajo comunitario y la propiedad colectiva tienen los promotores de los proyectos productivos en la comunidad uitoto del Once, cerca de Leticia en la Amazonia colombiana. Se enfoca en cómo las mujeres se involucran en los proyectos de desarrollo, en comparación con la organización para el trabajo de artesanías y productos agrícolas para el autoconsumo. El argumento principal es que el trabajo de la chagra y de las artesanías se organizan con base en una estrecha relación entre el cuerpo, la persona y el producto, al contrario de los proyectos de desarrollo promovidos por diversas agencias externas, que asumen una lógica de trabajo comunitario y propiedad colectiva. Esto tiene como consecuencia que ni los promotores ni los “promovidos” estén satisfechos con los resultados de tales proyectos.
This article reflects on the representations of communal work and collective property held by promoters of income-generating projects in the Witoto community “El Once”, near Leticia in the Colombian Amazon. It focuses on the ways women get involved in development projects, in comparison with their organization for the production of handicrafts and subsistence agricultural crops. The main argument is that work in agriculture and handicrafts is organized based on a close connection between the body, the person, and the products of his/her work, in contrast with the development projects promoted by diverse external agencies, which assume a logic of communal work and collective property. All this has as a consequence the dissatisfaction of both parties –the promoters and those “promoted”–with the results of such projects.
