As the rumour circulated, it triggered speculation regarding potential claims to the gold, as well as concerns about how extraction should be managed in order to maintain a good relationship with the animate landscape. Specifically, the rumour tested the previous flexibility of community rules concerning land access, as well as assigning more responsibility to the rotated local leadership position. Rumours offer insights into the social and emotional contexts within which resource extraction takes place, while at the same time playing an important part in shaping these very same contexts. date: 2020-07 date_type: published publisher: Wiley-Blackwell official_url: https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.12953 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1619955 doi: 10.1111/blar.12953 lyricists_name: Sheild Johansson, Clara lyricists_id: CMSHE16 actors_name: Sheild Johansson, Clara actors_id: CMSHE16 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Bulletin of Latin American Research volume: 39 number: 3 pagerange: 334-347 issn: 0261-3050 citation: Sheild Johansson, CM; (2020) Resource Rumours in the Bolivian Andes: The Potential of Gold in Community Land.
