| 摘要 | This article examines the uses of time-reckoning, temporality, and historical record in the creation of individual and collective identity. The focus is the community of Te, a closed, endogamous settlement in Lo (Mustang), an old Tibetan kingdom in the high Himalayas of Nepal. The inhabitants of Te apply a range of temporal devices to represent their community as a reified entity distinct from the individuals who compose it. The collectivity is set apart from both the world of Buddhist ideology and the local political environment by a unique calendrical system and the concept of quality-free cracks in the continuum of time. The transcendent character of the collectivity is established by using temporal distortions to represent counterintuitive properties of institutions. Stability is further ensured by a written constitution that freezes the parameters of social action within a 12year legal cycle. |
