本文借鉴 2012 年至 2015 年多个季节进行的实地调查，探讨了肯尼亚马拉奎特社会经济和政治历史的各个方面。它通过关注特定的物质文化类别——陶器——并追踪从二十世纪初至今几代人的生产、使用和交换的转变来实现这一目标。这种方法有助于挖掘一系列个人和日常生活的叙述，这些叙述不仅包含对马拉奎特过去的独特描述，而且还揭示了各种正在进行的基础设施和经济发展进程的物质后果。作为对我们之前在 Marakwet 农业、景观和生态变化方面的工作的补充，我们在这里展示了在上个世纪通过各种不断变化的日常实践动态协商和实施变化的多种方式。我们探索的历史创新、适应和运动证明了马拉奎特社会中根深蒂固的韧性，这种韧性在当代世界中继续得到体现。
Drawing on fieldwork conducted over multiple seasons between 2012 and 2015, this paper explores aspects of the socio-economic and political history of the Marakwet of Kenya. It does so by focusing on a particular material culture category – pottery – and tracing transformations in its production, use and exchange over several generations from the early twentieth century to the present day. This approach serves to unearth a series of personal and quotidian narratives that not only comprise a unique account of Marakwet’s past, but also shed light on the material consequences of various ongoing processes of infrastructural and economic development. Complementing our previous work on Marakwet farming, landscape and ecological change, we here demonstrate the multiple ways in which change has been dynamically negotiated and enacted throughout the last century via various shifting daily practices. The historical innovations, adaptations and movements that we explore attest to a resilience deeply rooted in Marakwet society that continues to be articulated in the contemporary world.
