This paper explores how one type of traditional Moroccan cloth comes to be known through different epistemological frameworks or “knowledge ideologies.” The case in question involves a rural women’s weaving cooperative and Moroccan state strategies to rationalize cloth production, which here takes the form of technical training and product development workshops. A struggle over the right to determine the present and future of cloth-making manifests in part as differing perspectives among weavers and government officials about legitimate quality assessment criteria and methods, and the appropriate color of the local cloth. At the center of these competing ways to evaluate or define traditional cloth is the question of authority: who has the right to assess quality and what aspects of their identity should factor into this right? The case of traditional weaving in Morocco underscores how “knowing” and “knowing what’s best” are thoroughly entangled in the domain of cultural heritage and its management.

参考框架：摩洛哥的布料、社区和知识意识形态

本文探讨了如何通过不同的认识论框架或“知识意识形态”来了解一种传统的摩洛哥布料。该案例涉及农村妇女编织合作社和摩洛哥国家战略，以使布料生产合理化，这里采取技术培训和产品开发研讨会的形式。为决定制布的现在和未来的权利而进行的斗争，部分表现在织工和政府官员对合法的质量评估标准和方法以及当地布料的适当颜色的不同看法。这些评估或定义传统布料的竞争方式的核心是权威问题：谁有权评估质量以及他们身份的哪些方面应纳入这项权利？摩洛哥的传统编织案例凸显了“知道”和“知道什么是最好的”是如何与文化遗产及其管理领域彻底纠缠在一起的。
