Abstract
Abstract:This article examines the appropriation of Andean cultural models among Nasa activists of the Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca (CRIC) in Colombia. Culturally, the Nasa have little to do with Andean communities, being much more similar to the cultures of the peoples of the Amazonian lowlands in their oral traditions and their lifeways. Beginning in the 1990s, Nasa intellectuals began to conduct research into what they called cosmovision and, as a result of cultural exchanges with Andean researchers from Ecuador and Bolivia, adopted lo andino as a political strategy that allowed them to imagine a desired future. This brief essay inquires into how appropriate it is to include Colombia—and more specifically, Colombian Native peoples—in the Andean cultural sphere, and then proceeds to examine how Nasa intellectuals have appropriated Andean cultural motifs.
摘要:本文考察了安第斯文化模式在哥伦比亚康赛乔地区Indígena del Cauca (CRIC)的Nasa活动家中的挪用。在文化上,美国国家航空航天局与安第斯社区关系不大,在口头传统和生活方式上与亚马逊低地人民的文化更相似。从20世纪90年代开始,美国国家航空航天局的知识分子开始研究他们所谓的“宇宙观”,并与来自厄瓜多尔和玻利维亚的安第斯研究人员进行文化交流,将“火星”作为一种政治策略,使他们能够想象一个理想的未来。这篇简短的文章探讨了将哥伦比亚——更具体地说,哥伦比亚土著人民——纳入安第斯文化领域的合适程度,然后继续研究美国宇航局的知识分子是如何挪用安第斯文化主题的。
