 note = {Departmental Bulletin Paper, The purpose of this paper is to revise, from the perspecitve of Paraguayan
or Guaraní history, the paradigm of South American lowland
chiefs without power presented by the French anthropologist Pierre Clastres.
Although criticized by some anthropologists, Africanists and Amazonists,
this paradigm is still held by Paraguayan historians to be valid.
Clastres’s works, however, contain two serious problems: he neither defines
the notion of power nor clarifies what type of chief he discusses, despite
the fact that there are defined types of Guaraní chiefs; mburuvichá,
te’yi-rú, and pajé. Results of the analysis are as follows: 1）Clastres’s thesis is no more than an idealistic view. In disregard of magic or magical
powers, which is a source of political power, Clastres is not able to
recognize the typology of the chief and remains vague when discussing
the chief. 2）Based on analysis of the sixteenth-century Paraguayan judicial
documents reserved in the Archivo Nacional de Asunción, although
these documents do not mention one of the three types of chief, namely
pajé, the other two types are described as holding political power with
coercion: the one of the types - referred to as the cacique or principal, chief of extended family - could give orders to members under the patriarchy
and the another one - referred to as the cacique mayor or cacique
principal, chief of community group of coexisting extended families
linked by exogamy - could exercise political force in the community., 彦根論叢, 第380号, pp. 27-47, The Hikone Ronso, No.380, pp. 27-47},
