Abstract

Between 1769 and 1834, the Spanish missions of Alta California were pluralistic communities. Faced with cultural entanglement, residents of particular missions formed communities of practice, out of which a shared social identity may have emerged. This process of colonial identity construction is illustrated by the patterned ways potters at one mission, Mission San Antonio de Padua, constructed Plainwares. Potters within this mission community selected the same local raw materials and fired ceramics in open fires. As potters participated in shared traditions of ceramic production, with regard to these steps in the manufacturing sequence, they may have created a shared social identity. In addition to the creation of a shared community identity, potters may have produced and reproduced other social identities that served to create arenas of division. For example, variability in primary forming techniques may suggest that gender identities were created out of the way some potters, possibly women, hand modeled vessels while others, possibly men, threw vessels on a wheel. Through ceramic production, potters at Mission San Antonio de Padua may have at one scale fostered a sense of belonging to the mission community, but at other scales created arenas for social distinction within the indigenous population.

Resumen

Resumen

Entre 1769 y 1834 las Misiones Españolas de Alta California eran comunidades pluralistas. Enfrentando un entrelazamiento cultural, los residentes de ciertas misiones en particular formaron comunidades de práctica, de los cuales surgió una identidad social compartida. Este proceso de construcción de identidad colonial fue ilustrado con dibujos y formas por los alfareros de la Misión San Antonio de Padua. Los alfareros dentro de esta comunidad misional seleccionaron las mismas materias primas locales y hornearon sus cerámicas en fogatas. Como alfareros compartieron tradiciones en cuanto a la forma de hacer la cerámica, en relación con las etapas de manufactura, creando una identidad social compartida. Adernás, produjeron y reprodujeron otras identidades sociales que sirvieron para crear división de grupos. Por ejemplo, la versatilidad de técnicas primarias puede referirse a que las identidades del género fueron creadas de diferente forma a las que algunos alfareros acostumbraban: posiblemente las mujeres moldeaban los recipientes a mano, mientras que otros, posiblemente los hombres, hacían sus recipientes en una rueda o torno. A través de la producción de cerámica, los alfareros en la misión San Antonio de Padua pudieron fomentar un sentimiento de pertenencia entre la comunidad y surgió una nueva división de grupos dentro de la misma población indígena.
