Abstract

Traditional, Indigenous houses in Puno, Peru, were built using adobe bricks, stone, and wood. Today, young Indigenous couples are building houses that utilize modern materials such as concrete, brick, and steel. In this paper, I analyze the effects that changing materialities of house construction practices have on the durability and breadth of kin-relationships in Puno. I argue that these changes are possible due to the kind of personhood that houses occupy within kin networks in the Puno and the Andes. Furthermore, I show how access to new materials allows younger families to build houses more quickly than their parents did, shortening the time to develop stronger kin relationships that were once afforded by building with traditional materials. These new materials affect the house's ability to make and maintain kinship in the future where the quality of kin relationships is directly influenced by the material qualia of the house.

同一个屋檐下:秘鲁普诺的物质变化和家庭隔阂
秘鲁普诺的传统土著房屋是用土坯砖、石头和木材建造的。如今,年轻的土著夫妇正在建造使用混凝土、砖和钢等现代材料的房屋。在本文中,我分析了在普诺,不断变化的房屋建筑材料对亲属关系的持久性和广度的影响。我认为,这些变化之所以可能,是因为在普诺和安第斯山脉的亲属网络中,房屋所占据的人格。此外,我还展示了获得新材料如何让年轻家庭比父母更快地建造房屋,缩短了发展更牢固的亲属关系的时间,而这种关系曾经是用传统材料建造的。这些新材料影响了房子在未来建立和维持亲属关系的能力,而亲属关系的质量直接受到房子材料质量的影响。
