Abstract

Abstract From 1966 to 1968 the United States government commissioned Diné artist Fred Stevens to demonstrate sandpainting across Eurasia and Latin America, in accordance with a prevailing logic of a “balance of power” in international relations. Stevens’s translations of ephemeral ceremonies worked against the grain, palpably connecting Diné efforts to protect Navajo Nation lands from military-industrial incursions to the acceleration of sand mining to feed a global building boom. Stevens’s demonstrations and gifts serve as exemplars of earth diplomacy, a practice of engendering sensuous material exchanges to facilitate reciprocity among disparate human communities and the lands that sustain them.

冷战的再平衡:沙画与地球外交

摘要1966年至1968年，美国政府委托Diné艺术家Fred Stevens根据国际关系中“力量平衡”的普遍逻辑，在欧亚大陆和拉丁美洲展示沙画。史蒂文斯对短暂仪式的翻译适得其反，显然将Diné保护纳瓦霍民族土地免受军事工业入侵的努力与加速采砂以促进全球建筑业繁荣联系在一起。史蒂文斯的示威和礼物是地球外交的典范，这是一种产生感性物质交流的做法，以促进不同人类社区和维持它们的土地之间的互惠。
