The Politics of Envy: Progress, Corruption, and Ethical Kinship among Bolivian Immigrants in Escobar, Argentina.
Abstract: This dissertation charts the rise, corruption, and attempted restoration of the Colectividad Boliviana de Escobar (CBE) as a way to examine ethics of solidarity and terms of human recognition among Bolivian immigrants in Escobar, Argentina. While founded to cultivate Bolivian community, and indeed standing in for it, the revenue-generating CBE shaped a socially divisive complex of envy that frustrated its mission, undergirded an internal ‘usurpation’, and led to the reflexive critique that Bolivians in Escobar have lost their humanity. Against this corruption, and through this moral crisis, I chart an emergent ethics of humility that recruits ethical kinship among immigrants who are otherwise ethnically and socio-economically polarized. Through these discussions I reveal the generative matrix of envy and track its ‘explosion’ in Escobar by illuminating a zero-sum politics of progress. I show how ideas and pursuits of progress depend upon esteem configured through Bolivian and Argentine regimes of otherness, and reproduce the latter. I also show how achieving progress is a function of changes in cultures of production wrought through the immigration and shaped by the CBE and its Horticultural Market. Through analyses of face-to-face engagements I show how envy is an inter-event dialectics of exclusivity, differentiation, and competition that is politically and ethically consequential. By tracking envy’s effects across different contexts of interaction, including the ways it figures into the mechanisms of corruption and gets objectified in moral discourse, I illuminate orders of practice off of which one may model processes of world-building. At the same time, I show how Bolivian ethical dynamics and imaginaries play out on terrain established by the Argentine state. This includes the terms through which the CBE was founded and subsequently regulated by the Argentine Ministry of Justice. These discussions, had through an analysis of the legal proceedings over the ‘usurped’ CBE, do more than cast Bolivian framings of community, and efforts to exploit it, in critical relief. They reveal that, while created through the regime of rights, and despite both shortcomings and manipulations of this regime, the CBE has become a space for the cultivation of virtue. ; PHD ; Anthropology ; University of Michigan, Horace H.
