摘要

本文探讨了竞争作为亚马逊地区社会转型的一种技术。近年来，厄瓜多尔亚马逊地区的舒阿人开始举办节日，庆祝他们新定居社区的团结和自治。节日包括体育比赛和选美比赛，通过戏剧化和排名创造积极的竞争精神。在这些比赛中，戏剧和排名是在一个“游戏框架”中进行的，这个框架将节日从日常生活中分离出来，但也重新制定了通过学校、市场和选举政治成为日常生活一部分的新的比约实践。如果说通约性不利于舒阿人的自主性，那么节日的戏剧框架则为自主性和相互性创造了未来的可能性。

Competing for the Future

This article explores competition as a technique of social transformation in Amazonia. In recent years, the Shuar of Ecuadorian Amazonia have begun staging festivals to celebrate the unity and autonomy of their new sedentary communities. Festivals include sporting games and beauty pageants that create a positive spirit of competition through dramatization and ranking. In these competitions, the drama and ranking take place within a ‘play-frame’—a frame that separates the festival from everyday life, but also re-enacts new practices of commensuration that have become part of daily life via schooling, markets, and electoral politics. If commensuration works against Shuar autonomy, the play-frame of the festival creates future possibilities for autonomy and mutuality.

期刊介绍： Social Analysis is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to exploring the analytical potentials of anthropological research. It encourages contributions grounded in original empirical research that critically probe established paradigms of social and cultural analysis. The journal expresses the best that anthropology has to offer by exploring in original ways the relationship between ethnographic materials and theoretical insight. By forging creative and critical engagements with cultural, political, and social processes, it also opens new avenues of communication between anthropology and the humanities as well as other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, including regular Special Issues on particular themes. The Editors welcome individual articles that focus on diverse topics and regions, reflect varied theoretical approaches and methods, and aim to appeal widely within anthropology and beyond. Proposals for Special Issues are selected by the Editorial Board through an annual competitive call.
