Book excerpt: This thesis investigated the role of traditional textiles within the Bolivian culture in the early twenty-first century. Creating traditional textiles is an important aspect of Bolivian life. Women are able to spin, dye, and weave to create a textile. These textiles can be sold and have been an assurance that women would always be able to make money. An ethnographic study was conducted in Independencia, Bolivia, in order to observe and research the steps in the making of a textile within the context of the culture. The steps included shearing the sheep, cleaning the fleece, spinning the fleece on a drop spindle, dyeing the yarn with natural dyes, weaving the yarn, and sewing the woven fabric into an end product. These labor-intensive steps were learned by initially observing and then actively participating. Since February, 2010, there have been quite a few changes due to outside influences. These changes mean that textile traditions are not being passed down. Today the mothers are not teaching their daughters these steps because the daughters are away at school. Within the community, the traditional dynamic has been altered. Men are forced to travel for work; the children are away at school; and the women are in the home juggling many roles, including maintaining the home, taking care of the animals, and weaving in order to acquire physical money to pay for school supplies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich textile traditions of Central and South America date back to pre-Hispanic Conquest times. This fascinating book looks at both the differences and the similarities between the weaving and textile techniques and traditions of the various Latin American countries, and explores the symbolic meanings of the designs woven into or imprinted onto the cloth. Topics covered include: · Design and production, including the different types of loom and weaving techniques and the various spinning and dyeing methods. · Fibres and threads, yarns and fabric sources. · Manipulated thread crafts, including knitting and crochet, plaiting, knotting and netting, and the Spanish Sol needle-laces. · Embroidery, both hand and machine, as well as the chain-stitch embroidery worked in Peru, the politically inspired embroidery of Arpilleras, and the appliqué pictures of Chile, Peru and Guatemala. · Beadwork, both embroidered and strung. · Finishing, decorative edging and fringing. AUTHOR: For the last twenty years Angela Thompson has travelled the world in search of textiles to add to her collection. Angela has lectured on and tutored a variety of textile subjects in the UK, USA and Australia.

Download or read book Bolivian Andean Textiles Commercialization and Modernity written by Natalie Lila Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In research, we frequently position "modernity" against "tradition" to explain cultural changes within the indigenous realm. Such is the case of Andean textile studies, where commercialization and modernity are frequently attributed to the decline in Andean communities' production and donning of hand-woven textiles. By doing this, we distance ourselves from the underlying issues causing these changes: poverty, discrimination, ethnic social stratification, etc. Also, by positioning "modernity" outside and against the indigenous realm, we contribute to the notion that modernity belongs to the western world alone and can only be achieved by Western influence. In doing so, we confine Andean textiles to a static notion of identity and ignore and antagonize the creative strategies that weavers' use, moving outside of this notion. My work questions the "tradition" versus "modernity" binary by analyzing its history and first appearance in Bolivian Andean textile scholarship, and by analyzing changes within Andean textiles between the Inca and Colonial periods. My study also sheds light on the workings of internal colonialism within Andean textiles in the Bolivian regions of Jalq'a and Tarabuco.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking feminist perspective on Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) rule in Bolivia and the country’s radical transformation under Evo Morales The presidency of Evo Morales in Bolivia (2006–2019) has produced considerable academic scholarship, much of it focused on indigenous social movements or extractivism, and often triumphalist about the successes of Morales’s Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). Turning a new lens on the movement, Cash, Clothes, and Construction presents the first gender-based analysis of “pluri-economy,” a central pillar of Bolivia’s program under Morales, evaluating the potential of this vision of “an economy where all economies fit” to embrace feminist critiques of capitalism and economic diversity. Based on more than twelve years of empirical research exploring the remarkable transformations in Bolivia since 2006, this book focuses on three sectors—finance, clothing, and construction—in which indigenous women have defied gendered expectations. Kate Maclean presents detailed case studies of women selling secondhand high street clothes from the United States in the vast, peri-urban markets of Bolivian cities; Aymaran designers of new pollera (traditional Andean dress) fashions, one of whom exhibited her collection in New York City; and the powerful and rich chola paceña, whose real estate investments have transformed the cultural maps of La Paz and El Alto. Cash, Clothes, and Construction offers a gendered analysis of the mission of MAS to dismantle neoliberalism and decolonize politics and economy from the perspective of the Indigenous women who have radically transformed Bolivia’s economy from the ground up.
