Abstract

Abstract Using different archives, I show how indigeneity was constructed by the Santal themselves during the second half of the nineteenth century, through various figures such as rebels and prophets. This has produced a Santal indigenous knowledge at the interface of orality and writing, revolving around two dimensions—an emergent historical consciousness and a feeling of shared identity, which still informs Adivasi resistance today, enabling them to voice assertion over natural resources. The sacralization of the landscape through pilgrimages and ritual commemorations entails the liberation of formerly encompassed identities, allowing the subaltern communities a certain visibility in the public sphere. Providing a new imagining against dispossession and memory loss, indigenous knowledge, which combines multi-scripturality and ritual innovations, becomes a resource for politics of representation as well as of a common Santal identity.

土著知识、文化遗产和代表政治
通过不同的档案,我展示了在19世纪下半叶,通过不同的人物,如反叛者和先知,Santal人是如何构建自己的本土性的。这在口头和文字的界面上产生了一种桑塔土著知识,围绕着两个维度——一种新兴的历史意识和一种共同身份的感觉,这仍然影响着今天的原住民抵抗,使他们能够对自然资源发出声音。通过朝圣和仪式纪念将景观神圣化,需要解放以前被包围的身份,使底层社区在公共领域具有一定的可见性。提供了一种新的想象,反对剥夺和记忆丧失,本土知识,结合了多经文和仪式创新,成为政治代表的资源,以及共同的圣塔人身份。
