Abstract
PAZZARELLI, Francisco. A Cheese among Others. Whey, Families and Relations in the Hills of Jujuy. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.50, n.2, pp.24-31. ISSN 0486-6525.
In this work I investigate the relationships established by the huacheños between their daily production of cheese and the lives of families in the community, located between the regions of "quebrada" and "puna", in Huachicocana, Jujuy, Argentina). Based on an ethnography of cheese-making techniques, I'm interested in understanding the ways in which cheese is involved in the manufacture and maintenance of kinship relations, by means of the daily and seasonal manipulation of curds, whey, yeast and pancheras.
Keywords : cheese; ferments; kinship; Jujuy.
