摘要本文探讨了社会和政治,以及物理,基础设施的建设,参加尚未建成的高速公路的影响。在伯利兹南部,农村公路网的发展在政治和环境变化的历史叙述中占有重要地位,最近铺设了一条主要的国内公路,对托莱多农村地区以玛雅人为主的人口的生计和土地权产生了明显的影响。在进行研究时,一项通往危地马拉边境的新公路铺设计划引发了关于领土、环境和发展的长期辩论,尽管细节仍然难以捉摸。将政治生态纳入对话中,关注感官环境的感知,以及预期的情感力量,我主张将人类学关于基础设施的对话扩展到包括人们遇到,体验和制定社会和环境变化的方式所想象的基础设施的意义和后果。
ABSTRACT This article examines the social and political, as well physical, construction of infrastructure, by attending to the implications of a highway yet to be built. In southern Belize, where the development of rural road networks figures strongly in historical narratives of political and environmental change, the recent paving of a major domestic highway has had distinctive implications for livelihoods and land rights among the predominantly Maya population of rural Toledo district. At the time of research, a plan for a new paved highway to the Guatemalan border animated longstanding debates over territoriality, environment and development, even as the details remained elusive. Bringing political ecology into conversation with attention to the perception of sensory environments, and the affective power of anticipation, I argue for extending anthropological conversations about infrastructure to encompass the meanings and consequences of imagined infrastructures for the ways people encounter, experience and enact social and environmental change.
