Almost 30 years on from their initial uprising, the autonomous Zapatistacommunities in Chiapas, Mexico remain a crucial, unique, and under-studiedsite for ethnographic investigation. Whilst much has been written on theirongoing political experiment in anticapitalist participatory democracy (Holloway& Peláez, 1998; Harvey, 1998; Holloway, 2002; Mentinis, 2006; Khasnabish,2010; Vergara-Camus, 2014; Gahman et al, 2022), fewer studies have beenexplicitly grounded in anthropological participant-observation (Nash, 2001; Vander Haar, 2001; Earle & Simonelli, 2005; Barmeyer, 2009; Khasnabish, 2008)and of this, less still from a perspective that is concerned with deepening thetheoretical premises of political anthropology and rooted in the potential ofethnographic praxis itself (Shah, 2017, 2021).Thus, the proposed research will seek to encounter and understand theZapatista communities in a theoretically productive manner, analysing theirresistance to dispossession - led by the Mexican state and (inter)nationalmarket forces - at the level of their praxis of peasant autonomy. Living withZapatista communities and conducting long-term immersive fieldwork, I willseek to shed light on the socially reproductive internal workings of theautonomous communities in Chiapas, which, beneath the iconoclastic imagesof masked militants or colourful murals, form the foundation for their ongoingstruggle. Alongside exploring the role of conviction, doubt, hope, suspicion(Pelkmans, 2013, 2017, 2018), and secrecy in the constitution of Zapatistasubjectivity, I will refract this ethnography through an interdisciplinary dialogueconcerning Marxian and anarchist debates within and between politicalanthropology and political philosophy, in order to pursue a meta-disciplinarianfocus on both the potential of ethnographic praxis (Shah, 2017) and thepossibility of an 'anthropological theory of praxis' (Shah, 2021).Yet beyond this, in a contemporary world characterised by economic crisis,environmental catastrophe and escalating state violence, anthropologists - sohistorically defined by their concern with alterity - are in a unique position toattend to political experiments such as the Zapatistas' that seek to constructalternatives to such processes

从他们最初的起义到现在已经过去了近30年，墨西哥恰帕斯州的萨帕塔自治区仍然是民族志调查的一个重要、独特和未被研究的地方。虽然关于他们正在进行的反资本主义参与式民主政治实验已经有很多文章（霍洛威& Peláez，1998; Harvey，1998;霍洛威，2002; Mentinis，2006; Khasnabish，2010; Vergara-Camus，2014; Gahman et al，2022），很少有研究明确地基于人类学参与观察（Nash，2001; Vander Haar，2001; Earle & Simonelli，2005; Barmeyer，2009; Khasnabish，2008），而这一点，更少的是从一个角度，深化政治人类学的理论前提，并植根于潜在的ethnographic实践本身（Shah，2017年，2021年）。因此，拟议的研究将寻求以理论上富有成效的方式遇到和理解萨帕塔社区，分析他们对剥夺的抵抗-由墨西哥国家和（国际）国家市场力量领导-在农民自治的实践层面上。生活在萨帕塔社区，并进行长期的沉浸式实地考察，我将寻求阐明恰帕斯自治社区的社会生殖内部运作，在蒙面武装分子或彩色壁画的偶像形象之下，形成了他们持续斗争的基础。除了探索信念、怀疑、希望、怀疑的作用之外（Pelkmans，2013年，2017年，2018年），并在萨帕塔作为主体的宪法保密，我将通过跨学科的对话，涉及马克思主义和无政府主义的辩论，政治人类学和政治哲学，以追求一个元学科的重点民族志实践的潜力（Shah，2017）和“实践的人类学理论”的可能性（沙阿，2021年）。然而，除此之外，在一个以经济危机、环境灾难和不断升级的国家暴力为特征的当代世界，人类学家--历史上被定义为关注异性--处于一个独特的位置，参加政治实验，如萨帕塔，寻求建设替代这些进程
