Based on a broad fieldwork in the Bolivian Andes, the aim of this article is to analyse the concept of the body as a hydraulic system, and more especially the drunken body. The latter is considered a vessel where bodily humours as well as ingested beverages circulate. To allow these liquids to enter and drain away, the body must open itself, a dangerous act since it provides demons with the chance to penetrate it. Nevertheless, it may be assumed that, at the same time, this opening furthers a chain of reciprocity with the dead as well as non‐human entities. In this context, the drinker places himself in an interaction with the social world but also creates a sacrificial relationship with the sacred world.

开放的身体–液压系统：玻利维亚安第斯山脉中的酒精和体液对非人类实体的营养

基于对玻利维亚安第斯山脉的广泛考察，本文的目的是分析作为液压系统的身体的概念，尤其是醉酒的身体。后者被认为是人体幽默和摄取饮料流通的船只。为了让这些液体进入和排出，人体必须打开自己的身体，这是一种危险的举动，因为它为恶魔提供了渗透的机会。但是，可以假定，与此同时，这种开放促进了与死者以及非人类实体的互惠链。在这种情况下，饮酒者将自己置于与社会世界的互动中，但也与神圣世界建立了一种牺牲性的关系。
