项目摘要

Are environmental politics aimed at preserving land for traditional indigenous use, bound to be harmful for indigenouspopulations? To what extent can collaboration as a political project arise as a solution? I propose to conduct researchwith the indigenous Wiwa in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM), which is the scene for dramatic and ambivalentencounters between environmentalist agendas and indigenous politics. I will explore the extent to which environmentalpolitics influence indigenous discourses of identity, and how those, in turn, shape conservationist discourses. I will focusspecifically on how fragmented representations of indigeneity affect the Wiwa's political stance in environmentalmanagement. To study conflict and collaboration between indigenous and environmental actors, I will simultaneouslyconduct fieldwork in Wiwa villages, and with environmental experts working for NGOs as they collect biodiversity data, tounderstand how environmental discourse is actively created on the ground. My main objective is to shed light on existingconflicts and opportunities for collaboration between indigenous peoples and environmental actors. I also hope tocontribute to the anthropological literature of the SNSM by moving away from homogenous representations of the FourPeoples, of which the Wiwa are part. Such research has implications for the future conservation of the SNSM and forforms of sustainable development relying on indigenous representation for legitimacy

旨在保护土地供原住民传统用途的环境政治是否必然对原住民有害？作为一个政治项目的合作在多大程度上可以作为解决方案出现？我提议与圣玛尔塔内华达山脉 (SNSM) 的土著 Wiwa 进行研究，这里是环保主义议程和土著政治之间戏剧性且矛盾的冲突的场景。我将探讨环境政治在多大程度上影响土著身份话语，以及这些反过来又如何塑造保护主义话语。我将特别关注原住民的零散表述如何影响 Wiwa 在环境管理方面的政治立场。为了研究土著和环境行为者之间的冲突与合作，我将同时在 Wiwa 村庄进行实地考察，并与为非政府组织工作的环境专家一起收集生物多样性数据，以了解如何在实地积极创造环境话语。我的主要目标是阐明土著人民与环境行为者之间现有的冲突和合作机会。我还希望通过摆脱对四民族（Wiwa 是其中一部分）的同质表征，为 SNSM 的人类学文献做出贡献。此类研究对 SNSM 的未来保护和依赖土著代表合法性的可持续发展形式具有影响
