Alright, so I was working on this thing called “mapa politico de tucume.” Sounds fancy, right? Well, it’s basically just a political map of a place called Tucume. I got into this whole thing because I wanted to figure out how the political scene in Tucume has changed over time, who the big players are, and all that jazz.
First off, I had to dig up some info on Tucume. I started by looking into some old records and some articles. I wasn’t just gonna rely on what other people said, so I made sure to cross-check everything.

After getting a basic grasp, I started putting together a timeline. This was to see how things evolved from, like, thirty years ago to now. It’s crazy how much stuff has changed! Then I started tracking the main political groups or individuals. I looked at their actions, and tried to see how their decisions affected the ordinary folks in Tucume. I felt like it is important to record these things.
The next thing I did was look into the self-determination stuff of Indigenous peoples. They were increasingly been cast in the language of “recognition.” I focused on how these big political players interacted with them.
I also considered what the media covers. I jotted down what the media focused on, what they didn’t, and why. I also have a list of key predictors of the health and stability.
I also started making an actual map. I used different colors and symbols to represent different political entities or significant events. It was a bit messy at first, but it started to look pretty cool.
Throughout this process, I realized that corporations and banks are like huge political actors, mainly through their influence on citizens. Oh, and the internet? It’s a total game-changer for politics. But we gotta think about how it affects the nature of the political itself. And what about the nation or state in this age of networks?
So, I compiled all my notes, the timeline, the lists of political actors, and the map into one big document. I organized it so it would make sense to anyone who read it. It was a lot of work, but I think it’s a pretty solid piece of research now.
Finally, I shared my “mapa politico de tucume” with some friends who are into this kind of stuff. They gave me some feedback, and I made a few tweaks here and there. I think it’s important to share these kinds of things because it helps people understand the bigger picture, you know?

In the end, it was a pretty rewarding experience. I learned a ton about Tucume and its political landscape. Plus, I got to practice my research and mapping skills. It’s like putting together a big puzzle, and it’s super satisfying when all the pieces fit.
