Resumen

Through an ethnography of culinary offerings dedicated to Earth-Beings, this essay explores the speculative thought of Andean herders in Jujuy (NW Argentina) as they reflect on their relations with Pachamama and the “modern” rituals of politicians and corporations. Beyond cultural-appropriation frameworks, it argues that such speculative comparisons reveal how these rituals also summon spectral forces, exposing a spectral politics that exceeds life, fertility, and modern secularity.
