ABSTRACT The affective and agentive capacities of other-than-humans have been widely assessed by archaeological approaches dealing with ancient and indigenous ontology. However, less attention has been given to how human, other-than-human and social practices were engaged in historical cosmopolitics. This paper aims to discuss how social practices related to rock art production and use, weaving a field of relations among carved rocks, landscapes, humans and other-than-humans in the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, during the Inka period. Our results show these relationships participated in a cosmopolitics that emphasised the Inkas’ capacities to relate with ‘Earth-Beings’, to use de la Cadena’s term, central in the socio-political reproduction of local communities. This research provides an example of the understanding of rock art as a relational, historical, and social practice, rather than an exclusive focus on its visual features.

南安第斯山脉的岩石艺术、本体论和世界政治

摘要 处理古代和土著本体论的考古方法已广泛评估了非人类的情感和代理能力。然而，人类、非人类和社会实践如何参与历史世界政治的关注较少。本文旨在讨论印加时期智利北部阿塔卡马沙漠的岩石艺术生产和使用的社会实践如何与岩画、景观、人类和非人类之间的关系编织一个领域。我们的研究结果表明，这些关系参与了世界政治，强调印卡人与“地球人”联系的能力，用德拉卡德纳的术语来说，在当地社区的社会政治再生产中处于核心地位。这项研究提供了一个将岩画理解为一种关系的例子，
