¡Hemos sobrevivido a todo! Cuidado y trabajo colaborativo en los pueblos Kukama Kukamiria de la Amazonía peruana frente a la COVID-19

This is an article about how indigenous peoples from the lowlands of the Marañón River, in the Peruvian Amazon, have responded to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis is situated on the margins of the State and in environments contaminated by oil, where the Kukama Kukamiria communities have taken actions of care as political acts of survival. These are non-salaried collaborative work forms that are not recognized in a capitalist system, but they constitute political actions of survival against it. The article describes these actions of care within the framework of a long relationship of State's non-recognition and exploitation towards the Amazonian indigenous people. We also analyze how actions of care pose methodological, political, and ethical challenges that need to be taken into account in remote, distance, and virtual ethnography, and that suggest a collaborative work proposal.
