ABSTRACT

The Maya-Q’eqchi’ are the people that occupy the most territory in Guatemala and that historically, like other indigenous peoples, have resisted multiple waves of dispossession through ‘communitarian weavings’ and by maintaining their sacred relationship with the land and maize. In this article, I analyze how and why temporary and long-lasting ‘agrarian commons’ are created and reproduced as part of the communitarian weavings of the Maya-Q’eqchi’ in the Polochic Valley, Guatemala. I show how the reproduction of the Maya-Q’eqchi’ agrarian commons has been, and still is today, the basis of resistance to the new wave of dispossession caused by the expansion of sugarcane and oil palm monocultures owned by oligarchic families of German descent. Despite the commons being the reproduction of a form of struggle characteristic of the Maya-Q’eqchi’, there are multiple differences of functioning and structure of the agrarian commons between territories inhabited by the Maya-Q’eqchi’, as well as within the same territory. These differences are conditioned by the different identities reconfigured by history and by socio-economic and environmental dynamics, as well as by the structure and operation of the commons itself.

社区编织:玛雅·克什基族的农业共同体,反对危地马拉波洛奇奇山谷单一文化的扩张

摘要

Maya-Q'eqchi'族人是危地马拉占据最大领土的民族,与其他土著民族一样,在历史上他们通过“共同体编织”并保持与土地和玉米的神圣关系,抵制了多次剥夺浪潮。在本文中,我分析了如何以及为什么在危地马拉波洛奇山谷的玛雅-克'eqchi'族的编织中,创造并复制了临时的和持久的“农业公地”。我展示了玛雅·基奇农耕地的繁殖如何一直并且至今仍是抵制德国后裔寡头家族拥有的甘蔗和油棕单一栽培种扩张引起的新一轮剥夺浪潮的基础。尽管这些共同点是玛雅·奎克(Maya-Q'eqchi)的一种斗争形式的再现,在玛雅克奇克人居住的领土之间以及同一领土内,农业共同体的功能和结构存在多种差异。这些差异取决于历史,社会经济和环境动态以及公地本身的结构和运作所重新配置的不同身份。
