| Spanish abstract | Este artículo, basado en una experiencia etnográfica y escrito desde una intención fenomenológica, como descripción, se centra en un conflicto que vivieron los Ipuana, un grupo de apüshi, parientes maternos, que viven en Paraguaipoa y Maracaibo. Coloca una atención puntual en Antonio Ipuana, tío materno de su grupo de parientes uterinos en quien recayó la responsabilidad mayor de la resolución de ese conflicto y que fue cuestionado y negado como responsable principal en esa resolución. Se intenta mostrar e interpretar los sutiles y estruendosos ruidos que ocurren en la normativa jurídica en este espacio de frontera y la manera en que logran resolverlo. La resolución de este problema fue sólo una de las maneras posibles para saldar y superar una deuda abierta. La normativa jurídica propia del Sistema Vindicatorio wayuu se pone a prueba permanentemente de una manera estruendosa en este lugar de frontera, a veces en una extrema negación de las pautas y normas que dicta la costumbre, otras ajustándolas con una gracia e invención increíbles, en un intento de seguir siendo wayuu en ese espacio de retos y desafíos |
| English abstract | This article, based on an ethnographic experience and written from a phenomenological viewpoint as mere description is focused on a disturbance which emerged amongst the Ipuana family designated as a distinct group called the Ipushi, composed of maternal kin, who live in the Paraguaipoa area and in the city of Maracaibo. A certain individual by the name of Antonio Ipuana, the maternal uncle of a group of uterine kinfolk, who was supposedly chiefly responsible for the origin of the present difficulty, was questioned and denied having any responsibility. The intention of the investigation into the disturbance was to find the cause of extraordinarily loud sounds which had occurred and had become the concern of the local people. Rules pertaining to indemnity in this border area are applied to resolve conflicts as those that which were the apparent cause of the disturbances. Settling the quarrels that apparently were the efficient cause of these phenomenal repercussions was just a way to confront openly declared accusations of guilt. In this section of the border areas, a sort of legality pertaining to personal liability in the Wayuu culture (the indigenous nation prominent in the area) is applied constantly and carries with it a burden of proof, but this proof is provided in a manner which involves resounding physical emphases implying supportive power. At times there is an absolute negation of customary standards and norms, at other times action is justified or regulated with a permissiveness entailing the most counter intuitive sorts of explanation which are accepted in the effort to keep on being a Wayuu as distinct from Venezuelan. This occurs in the border zones where challenge and defiance are frequent occurrences |
