With the support of a Franklin Grant and an NEH Summer Stipend, I am working on a book on Bartolina Sisa, an Aymara indigenous heroine who led the 1781-82 uprising in and around La Paz, Bolivia. This book will be based on archival research and ethnographic field work in and beyond the Andes. In the book, I demonstrate that Bartolina is a nomadic figure who has traversed the Qhapaq 脩an (the Inca road) and immigrated to both Europe and the United States. I trace her appearances in novels, theatre, radionovelas, and installation art to argue that her archival afterlives speak to the colonial past that perpetually haunts the present. In addition to the Bartolina project, I have research underway on Fausto Reinaga, Aymara indigenous political theorist, and the Bolivian film collective, Grupo Ukamau.
My first book, Beyond Human: Vital Materialisms in the Andean Avant-Gardes (Bucknell 2019) studied the ways that poets, performance artists, and installation artists animate natural materials like rocks, water, and the soil in their art to challenge the notion that the human is the privileged agent over a passive ecosystem. This book includes chapters on C茅sar Vallejo, Jos茅 Mar铆a Arguedas, and Magda Portal as well as Bolivian activist-artists, Julieta Paredes and Alejandra Dorado. I draw on indigenous knowledge systems and political theory to make my arguments.
