I am a sociocultural anthropologist that received a Licenciatura degree in Anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires. At Temple University, I earned an M.A and a Ph.D in Anthropology. The latter dealt with a postcolonial approach to the Argentine Chaco Toba/Qom ontology. My academic interests are anthropology of religion from a postcolonial perspective, and hermeneutics and cultural phenomenology. My main topics of research are contemporary indigenous shamanism, and current religiosities and spiritualities in the modern world. I carried out ethnographic research on the religious horizons among the Qom/Toba, and among anthroposophical institutions both in Argentina and in Spain. I teach Symbolic Anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, and Contemporary Ethnographic Critique in the Master´s on Social and Political Anthropology, FLACSO-Argentina.
Afterword: Ethnography of the “Christian Paths. (n.d.). In Indigenous South American Lowlands: Between Institutions, Histories, and Materialities.
Neo-)Shamanic Chronicles of the Argentine Qom/Toba: Between Love, Power, and Healing. (n.d.).
Contemporary South American Shamanisms: The cases of the Qom/Toba (Argentina) and Santo Daime. (n.d.). Brazil.
