Abstract
This article explores intervening factors in the construction of landscapes in the departments of Potosi and Chuquisaca (Bolivia). Landscapes are perceived and experienced in these regions as narratives, continuously woven together by signifying landmarks. More than simply serving a stated purpose, journeys become key moments during which humans discover and reproduce their ontological explanations of the world, confront non-human entities, and recall the pasts that define their identities and those of others. Andean landscapes, at once ambiguous, diffuse, and permeable, are places which express historical relations of power and domination. They are also places that manifest both the limits of the realm of saqra and the intrinsically subversive nature of the practices that construct social memory in physical space.
