%X This article explores changes and continuities in political demandsconcerning territorial rights as they have been articulated byindigenous organizations of the Peruvian Amazon over recentdecades. Its main objective is to demonstrate how particular historicalconjunctures have influenced the ways in which these groups havefocused their efforts in defense of what they consider to be a crucialelement of their way of life, increasingly threatened by incursionsfrom modern society, capitalism and processes of globalization. Theanalysis rejects depictions of the indigenous peoples as passive, opento manipulation by outside interests. At the same time, it provides amore profound understanding of the changes that are taking placewithin indigenous societies with respect to their perception of, andrelationship to, their territories. En el presente art¨ªculo exploramos los cambios y continuidades enlas reivindicaciones que sobre el territorio han planteado los pueblosind¨ªgenas de la Amazon¨ªa peruana a trav¨¦s de sus organizaciones enlas ¨²ltimas d¨¦cadas. El objetivo central reside en explicar c¨®mo endistintas coyunturas estas sociedades han enfrentado la defensa de loque consideran una parte esencial de su forma de vida que se hallacada vez m¨¢s amenazada frente al avance de la sociedad moderna,del capitalismo y de la globalizaci¨®n. Esta revisi¨®n nos permitir¨¢desbaratar aquellos argumentos que califican a los ind¨ªgenas comosujetos pasivos, manipulables y a merced de intereses ajenos; y almismo tiempo, nos permitir¨¢ comprender mejor los cambios que sevienen produciendo al interior de las sociedades ind¨ªgenas en supercepci¨®n y en su relaci¨®n con el territorio.
