Fence and friction at Tiwanaku (Bolivia): An archaeological ethnography of heritage, indigeneity and rights

The article investigates diverging heritage practices in plurinational Bolivia. It draws on the Aymara concept of taypi to address heritage conflicts from a cosmopolitical perspective on memory and territoriality. Place-based histories and socio-material assemblages redefine Indigenous heritage as a multi-temporal meeting ground between state, local communities and more-than-human-beings.

Abstract

The article investigates diverging heritage practices in plurinational Bolivia. It draws on the Aymara concept of taypi to address heritage conflicts from a cosmopolitical perspective on memory and territoriality. Place-based histories and socio-material assemblages redefine Indigenous heritage as a multi-temporal meeting ground between state, local communities and more-than-human-beings.
