Transcultural knowledge production in the southern Andes region. Spatiality, materiality and the construction of sacred topographies in the context of colonial rule. Sajama and Sabaya, 16th-19th centuries.

该研究项目将自己视为对跨文化知识史的贡献。它仔细审查了当地本土认识论的历史意义及其与霸权(即基督教-欧洲知识秩序)的跨文化相互依存关系。它以今天玻利维亚高地上的两个城镇Sajama和Sabaya为例，分析了16世纪至19世纪基督教和殖民统治背景下宗教知识生产的动态。重点是产生新的跨文化形式的宗教和宇宙学知识。这在空间和地理上总是位于整个安第斯地区，并与当地建造神圣空间和地形密不可分。这一现象最早是通过开发一种分析神圣空间性的理论模型来解决的。在第二步中，该模型作为对两个案例进行微观历史考察的工具。他们关注的是当地演员、周围神圣的地形与文物和建筑(例如墓塔/夏尔巴、祭祀场所/守灵、教堂、小教堂等)之间的有意义的互动。是社会和宗教空间的一部分。作为“认识物”，它们参与了宗教和宇宙学知识的生产、保存和(重新)配置。这些资料来源由书面和非书面材料传统以及人种学访谈组成，在地理信息系统的帮助下，这些资料来源被记录下来，彼此相关，并与它们被发现或联系的地理空间有关(地理参照)。遵循深度测绘的理论和方法，非明确的地理数据，如肖像、叙事、仪式习俗等，也被绘制成地理历史。该项目的目的是使用这种空间关系模式来抵消传统史学对知识史的线性叙述，并能够掌握超越书面传统的跨文化知识生产的动态和复杂性。作为这一方法的结果，将创建和出版一份动态的、基于网络的关于萨巴亚和萨贾马的神圣空间和宗教知识的深度地图。其目的是展示宗教和宇宙学知识生产和流通的跨文化层面，以及地方认识论的意义及其与长期霸权知识秩序的相互依存关系。有了这张地图，该项目对数字人文学科做出了创新贡献，并促进了学术知识向非学术公众，特别是向研究涉及其文化遗产的社区的转移。

The research project sees itself as a contribution to the history of transcultural knowledge. It scrutinizes the historical significance of local indigenous epistemologies and their trans-cultural interdependencies with hegemonic, i.e. Christian-European, knowledge orders. With reference to the two towns of Sajama and Sabaya in the highlands of present-day Bolivia, it analyses the dynamics of religious knowledge production in the context of Christianisation and colonial rule between the 16th and 19th centuries. The focus is on the production of new, transcultural forms of religious and cosmological knowledge. This is always spatially and geographically located in the entire Andes region and inseparably connected with the local construction of sacred spaces and topographies. The phenomenon is first met in general by the development of a theoretical model for the analysis of sacred spatiality. In the second step, this model serves as an instrument for the micro-historical investigation of the two case studies. They focus the meaningful interaction between the local actors, the surrounding sacralized topography and the artefacts and architectures (e.g. grave towers/chullpas, cult sites/wak'a, churches, chapels, etc.) that are part of the social and religious space. As "epistemic objects", they were involved in the production, preservation and (re-)configuration of religious and cosmological knowledge. The sources, which consist of written and non-written material traditions as well as ethnographic interviews, are recorded, related to each other and to the geographical space in which they were found or articulated (georeferencing) with the help of a geographical information system (GIS). Following the theoretical-methodical approach of deep mapping, non-explicitly geographical data such as iconographies, narratives, ritual practices, etc. are also mapped geo-historically. The aim of the project is to use such a spatial-relational model to counteract the linear narrative of knowledge history of traditional historiography and to be able to grasp the dynamics and complexity of transcultural knowledge production beyond the written tradition. As a result of this approach, a dynamic, web-based deep map of sacred spaces and religious knowledge about Sabaya and Sajama will be created and published. It is intended to visualize the transcultural dimensions of religious and cosmological knowledge production and circulation as well as the significance of local epistemologies and their interdependencies with hegemonic knowledge orders over longer periods. With this map, the project makes an innovative contribution to the Digital Humanities and facilitates the transfer of academic knowledge to the non-academic public, especially to those communities whose cultural heritage the study deals with.
