Companion plants: Ethnobotany of smudge and smudge stick makers in the river basin of Paraná (Santa Fe, Argentina)

Background and aims: The practice of smudging is an activity that remains present and current in various indigenous, peasant and urban contexts in Latin America.

description Background and aims: The practice of smudging is an activity that remains present and current in various indigenous, peasant and urban contexts in Latin America. The study is approached from an urban botany developed by women, the smudge stick makers, who gather, dry, weave and intend the plant bodies. We explore the uses and significant of the plants that make up the smudge in the river basin of Paraná.M&M: Through ethnography tools, we conducted interviews with seven women (between 23 and 42 years of age), smudge stick makers who make, use and marketbundles of plants. We established the geographic origin of the species, acquisition ways and gathering areas of the plants.Results: A total of 58 species were recorded, of which 30 were native. Gathering is the most common acquisition way (93%). It is in the gathering, the identification and in the transit where plants and smudge stick makers converge, forming relationalities. In this way physiological, affective and emotional bonds are established accompanying the experiences of the smudge stick makers.Conclusions: The ethnobotany of smudge stick makers takes us to the limits, where the urban and the rural, the city dweller and the peasant, the human and thenon-human converge. The companion plants defy the materiality of the utilitarian, smudge is finally defined as a relation, a meeting between existing with the ability toaffect and even ‘accompany’ each other.

Introducción y objetivos: El sahumar es una actividad que se mantiene presente y vigente en diversos contextos indígenas, campesinos y urbanos en Latinoamérica. Se aborda el estudio desde una botánica urbana desarrollada por mujeres, las sahumeras, que recolectan, secan, tejen e intencionan cuerpos vegetales. Se exploran usos y significaciones de las plantas que integran los sahumos en el litoral fluvial del río Paraná.M&M: Por medio de herramientas propias de la etnografía, se realizaron entrevistas a siete mujeres (entre 23 y 42 años de edad), sahumeras que confeccionan, emplean y comercializan atados de plantas “sahumos”. Se estableció el origen biogeográfico de las especies, así como las formas de obtención y los lugares a los que se accede para la obtención de las plantas.Resultados: Se registró un total de 58 especies, 30 de ellas de origen nativo. La recolección es la forma de adquisición más común (93%). Es en la recolección, la identificación y en el mismo transitar donde convergen plantas y sahumeras formando relacionalidades. Se establecen así vínculos fisiológicos, afectivos y emocionales que acompañan las vivencias y las experiencias de las sahumeras.Conclusión: La etnobotánica de las sahumeras, nos lleva a los límites dondeconfluyen lo urbano y lo rural, lo citadino y lo campesino, lo humano y lo no- humano. Las ‘plantas que acompañan’, desafían la materialidad de lo utilitario; el sahumo es definido finalmente como una relación, un encuentro entre existentes con la capacidad a afectarse e incluso ‘acompañarse’ mutuamente.
