Chronotopes have been described as “envelopes” of time and space that provide the setting for the circulation of particular types of characters or personae (Silverstein 2005, Agha 2007, Bakhtin 1981, 1986). In this article, I investigate how these narratives of time and space are used to produce meaning in conjunction with structured relationships between groups of social categories, particularly discourses of tradition and modernity. Specifically, I examine the ways in which local actors shape and imagine how Saipina, a small town in central Bolivia, is represented to outside audiences. Influential actors produce a set of artifacts that represent the town, as well as a series of narratives that overlay values such as hard work and agricultural roots with goods such as sugarcane and chancaca, a raw sugar product, in representing the town to outside audiences.

甜蜜的土地:玻利维亚小镇的制造“传统”

Chronotopes 被描述为时间和空间的“信封”,为特定类型的角色或人物的流通提供环境(Silverstein 2005,Agha 2007,Bakhtin 1981,1986)。在这篇文章中,我研究了这些时间和空间的叙述是如何被用来产生意义的,以及社会类别群体之间的结构化关系,特别是传统和现代性的话语。具体来说,我研究了当地演员塑造和想象玻利维亚中部小镇塞皮纳如何呈现给外部观众的方式。有影响力的演员制作了一组代表该镇的文物,以及一系列将辛勤工作和农业根源等价值与甘蔗和香卡卡等商品相叠加的叙述,一种原糖产品,向外部观众代表该镇。
