Abstract

In these interviews we seek to offer readers a critical and updated look at the approaches to the study of space and place names (toponymy) in the Andean highlands through the fieldwork experience of three renowned researchers: Veronica Cereceda, Rodolfo Cerron Palomino and Axel E. Nielsen. From a set of questions based on the certainty of interdisciplinary work in indigenous territories and their denominations, we seek to account for the points of encounter, the reluctance and methodological limitations to address studies on the Andean Cordillera.
