ABSTRACT The article examines how the design and governance of Peru’s water infrastructure shape the social practices and cultural values stakeholders engage in and draw on when negotiating water rights in a year of drought. Reviewing ethnographic data on a large irrigation project in south-western Peru, we discuss how the project both perpetuates power relations between water experts, authorities and users and creates room to challenge its hierarchical organization. The project’s infrastructural assemblage of state and community canals offers an interesting case to explore how the stakeholder cooperation encouraged by Peru’s water law produces hydrosocial communities.

流畅的流动？秘鲁南部高地的水利社会社区、水治理和基础设施不和谐

摘要 本文考察了秘鲁水基础设施的设计和治理如何塑造利益相关者在干旱年份协商水权时参与和借鉴的社会实践和文化价值观。回顾秘鲁西南部一个大型灌溉项目的人种学数据，我们讨论了该项目如何使水资源专家、当局和用户之间的权力关系永久化，并创造了挑战其等级组织的空间。该项目的州和社区运河基础设施组合提供了一个有趣的案例，以探索秘鲁水法鼓励的利益相关者合作如何产生水利社会社区。
