VILA, Gisselle. Institutional bricolage in Peruvian Amazonia: a native community’s experience. Anthropologica [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.38, pp.41-68. ISSN 0254-9212.  http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.18800/anthropologica.201701.002.

This article explores the institutional bricolage process developed in a native community, which derives in the creation of a water user’s association. Based on a historical review, the article identifies the borrowing dynamics from previous arrangements, such as family relationships and meetings, in order to make sense of the new institutional frameworks promoted by development projects, such as cooperative work and the payment of a water tariff. The argument proposes that this is a process of institutional alteration, because it does not led to the creation of a qualitatively different organism, but rather it reproduces previously stablished logics and agreements.
