Marijke Stoll
PhD student in Anthropology, University of Arizona
My childhood fascination with landscapes has developed into a full-blown obsession with human interactions and recursive relationships with places, marked or otherwise. Having been raised in a heathen household, I am also, curiously enough, interested in religion, ritual, and the efficacious impact of belief on social relationships of power. By investigating the ontological logic of ball courts and their emplacement in a social landscape in the Mixteca Alta, Oaxaxa, I am bringing these interests together in (hopefully) exciting theoretical ways, with the goal of developing practical archaeological applications that would answer my multitude of questions.
The extra bonus is that I get to hang out in Oaxaca, platicando with the Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Chochos, Mixes, and all the wonderful, beautiful people of this great state.
