ABSTRACT:Gendered and racialized identities are jointly produced among social actors, often in ways that they cannot individually control. Drawing on ethnographic research in the city of Cusco, Peru and the surrounding region, I explore how gendered indigeneity is produced as a position of "alterity," or otherness, in strategic ways by young women. I focus on a theatrical performance, "History of Natasia," which was collaboratively created and performed by young mothers who live in an independent, NGO-run orphanage. I hold the words of characters in tension with the situation, a dramatic rendering of "a mother like us" for an audience of staff, children, and volunteers. By analyzing the unspoken assumptions and embedded dialogues that emerge between characters and performers in two scenes of the play, I demonstrate that social actors at once collude with institutional configurations of power and actively negotiate social hierarchies in tacit and explicit ways. The article contributes to ongoing discussions of indigenous identification and resistance in the Andean region by grounding these broader conversations in ordinary life and by tracing the micro-politics of interactions. Moreover, the article enriches understandings of the ways that young mothers, located in contexts saturated by power (an orphanage run by a humanitarian organization, for example), may themselves produce difference.

在场景和情境之间：在库斯科孤儿院表演种族和性别差异

摘要：性别和种族化身份是在社会行动者之间共同产生的，通常以他们无法单独控制的方式产生。借鉴秘鲁库斯科市及周边地区的民族志研究，我探索了年轻女性如何以战略方式将性别土著作为“另类”或他者的位置产生。我专注于戏剧表演“纳塔西亚的历史”，这是由住在独立的非政府组织运营的孤儿院的年轻母亲合作创作和表演的。我把人物的话语与情况拉紧，为工作人员、孩子和志愿者的观众戏剧性地渲染了“像我们一样的母亲”。通过分析剧中两个场景中角色和表演者之间出现的不言而喻的假设和嵌入式对话，我证明，社会行动者立即与权力的制度配置勾结，并以默契和明确的方式积极协商社会等级。这篇文章通过将这些更广泛的对话置于日常生活中并追踪互动的微观政治，为安第斯地区的土著认同和抵抗的持续讨论做出了贡献。此外，这篇文章丰富了对处于权力饱和的环境中的年轻母亲（例如，由人道主义组织运营的孤儿院）自身可能产生差异的方式的理解。这篇文章通过将这些更广泛的对话置于日常生活中并追踪互动的微观政治，为安第斯地区的土著认同和抵抗的持续讨论做出了贡献。此外，这篇文章丰富了对处于权力饱和的环境中的年轻母亲（例如，由人道主义组织运营的孤儿院）本身可能产生差异的方式的理解。这篇文章通过将这些更广泛的对话置于日常生活中并追踪互动的微观政治，为安第斯地区的土著认同和抵抗的持续讨论做出了贡献。此外，这篇文章丰富了对处于权力饱和的环境中的年轻母亲（例如，由人道主义组织运营的孤儿院）自身可能产生差异的方式的理解。
