Challenging the Dichotomy explores how dichotomies regarding heritage dominate the discourse of ethics, practices, and institutions. Examining issues of cultural heritage law, policy, and implementation, editors Les Field, CristÓbal Gnecco, and Joe Watkins guide the focus to important discussions of the binary oppositions of the licit and the illicit, the scientific and the unscientific, incorporating case studies that challenge those apparent contradictions. Utilizing both ethnographic and archaeological examples, contributors ask big questions vital to anyone working in cultural heritage. What are the issues surrounding private versus museum collections? What is considered looting? Is archaeology still a form of colonialization? The contributors discuss this vis-À-vis a global variety of contexts and cultures from the United States, South Africa, Argentina, New Zealand, Honduras, Colombia, Palestine, Greece, Canada, and from the Nasa, Choctaw, and Maori nations. Challenging the Dichotomy underscores how dichotomies—such as licit/illicit, state/nonstate, public/private, scientific/nonscientific—have been constructed and how they are now being challenged by multiple forces. Throughout the eleven chapters, contributors provide examples of hegemonic relationships of power between nations and institutions. Scholars also reflect on exchanges between Western and non-Western epistemologies and ontologies. The book’s contributions are significant, timely, and inclusive. Challenging the Dichotomy examines the scale and scope of “illicit” forms of excavation, as well as the demands from minority and indigenous subaltern peoples to decolonize anthropological and archaeological research.

This book is the first to describe indigenous archaeology in Latin America for an English speaking audience. Eighteen chapters primarily by Latin American scholars describe relations between indigenous peoples and archaeology in the frame of national histories and examine the emergence of the native interest in their heritage. Relationships between archaeology and native communities are ambivalent: sometimes an escalating battleground, sometimes a promising site of intercultural encounters. The global trend of indigenous empowerment today has renewed interest in history, making it a tool of cultural meaning and political legitimacy. This book deals with the topic with a raw forthrightness not often demonstrated in writings about archaeology and indigenous peoples. Rather than being ‘politically correct,’ it attempts to transform rather than simply describe.

The papers in this book question the tyranny of typological thinking in archaeology through case studies from various South American countries (Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil) and Antarctica. They aim to show that typologies are unavoidable (they are, after all, the way to create networks that give meanings to symbols) but that their tyranny can be overcome if they are used from a critical, heuristic and non-prescriptive stance: critical because the complacent attitude towards their tyranny is replaced by a militant stance against it; heuristic because they are used as means to reach alternative and suggestive interpretations but not as ultimate and definite destinies; and non-prescriptive because instead of using them as threads to follow they are rather used as constitutive parts of more complex and connective fabrics. The papers included in the book are diverse in temporal and locational terms. They cover from so called Formative societies in lowland Venezuela to Inca-related ones in Bolivia; from the coastal shell middens of Brazil to the megalithic sculptors of SW Colombia. Yet, the papers are related. They have in common their shared rejection of established, naturalized typologies that constrain the way archaeologists see, forcing their interpretations into well known and predictable conclusions. Their imaginative interpretative proposals flee from the secure comfort of venerable typologies, many suspicious because of their association with colonial political narratives. Instead, the authors propose novel ways of dealing with archaeological data.

Restoring the historicity and plurality of archaeological ethics is a task to which this book is devoted; its emphasis on praxis mends the historical condition of ethics. In doing so, it shows that nowadays a multicultural (sometimes also called “public”) ethic looms large in the discipline. By engaging communities “differently,” archaeology has explicitly adopted an ethical outlook, purportedly striving to overcome its colonial ontology and metaphysics. In this new scenario, respect for other historical systems/worldviews and social accountability appear to be prominent. Being ethical in archaeological terms in the multicultural context has become mandatory, so much that most professional, international and national archaeological associations have ethical principles as guiding forces behind their openness towards social sectors traditionally ignored or marginalized by their practices. This powerful new ethics—its newness is based, to a large extent, in that it is the first time that archaeological ethics is explicitly stated, as if it didn’t exist before—emanates from metropolitan centers, only to be adopted elsewhere. In this regard, it is worth probing the very nature of the dominant multicultural ethics in disciplinary practices because (a) it is at least suspicious that at the same time archaeology has tuned up with postmodern capitalist/market needs, and (b) the discipline (along with its ethical principles) is contested worldwide by grass-roots organizations and social movements. Can archaeology have socially committed ethical principles at the same time that it strengthens its relationship with the market and capitalism? Is this coincidence just merely haphazard or does it obey more structural rules? The papers in this book try to answer these two questions by examining praxis-based contexts in which archaeological ethics unfolds.

Explores how heritage discourses and local publics interact at Catholic mission sites in the southwestern United States, northern Mexico, and the Southern ConeInterdisciplinary in scope and classed under the name "critical heritage studies," Heritage and Its Missions makes extensive use of ethnographic perspectives to examine heritage not as a collection of inert things upon which a general historical interest is centered, but as a series of active meanings that have consequences in the social, political, and economic arenas. This approach considers the places of interaction between heritage discourses and local publics as constructed spaces where the very materiality of the social and the political unfolds.Heritage and Its Missions brings together researchers from several countries interested in the pre-republican Catholic missions in the Americas as heritage. Each essay discusses the past and current heritage meanings applied to a specific mission by national and multicultural states, local Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, international heritage institutions, and scholars. They then address how heritage actors produce knowledge from their positioned perspectives; how different actors, collectives, communities, and publics relate to them; how heritage representations are deployed and contested as social facts; and how different conceptions of "heritage" collide, collaborate, and intersperse to produce the meanings around which heritage struggles unfold.

Este libro reúne ensayos que buscan pensar/hacer arqueología desde el trabajo del autor en Colombia. Son arqueológicos en un sentido genealógico y crítico. Proponen una arqueología de la disciplina: un argumento alrededor de lo que hizo y no hizo, de lo que hizo voz y de lo que volvió silencio; en fin, de lo que es capaz de hacer si se desmarca de los mandatos modernos. Ese ejercicio acaso pueda mostrar que la disciplina actual hace eco a la forma como el multiculturalismo controla la diferencia a través de su conveniente promoción de la diversidad. Por eso el libro propone una arqueología de la diferencia radical —una arqueología radical de la diferencia. No otra arqueología sino otros mundos desde ella: otras sociedades, otras temporalidades, otras formas de aglutinación, otras formas de ser. Los abordajes temáticos son amplios: patrimonio, repatriación, modernidad, nacionalismo, ética, alteridad, multiculturalismo, antropología, excavación. Su aparente dispersión obedece al esfuerzo por encender la economía política de la disciplina, los circuitos de producción, circulación y consumo del conocimiento arqueológico y las relaciones de poder inscritas en ellos.

The texts in this book are autobiographical. Unlike so many academic writings, they do not hide, but rather make visible, everything that happens between the carrying-out and the writing-up of archaeological fieldwork: a space so productive but so contentious that it is usually eliminated, denied, altered.

Las ruinas son la presencia fenomenológica de lo que fue, el contacto del cuerpo con la historia. Estamos rodeados de ruinas, muchas de ellas fabricadas por la retórica patrimonial que nos recuerda el papel creador y destructor del capital. Así, El tiempo de las ruinas propone interrogantes: ¿Quién habla por las ruinas? ¿O somos hablados por ellas en tanto herencia, legado, testamento? ¿Cómo interpelan al territorio del Estado, al tiempo lineal de la nación o al diseminado significante de la comunidad? ¿Y si miramos las ruinas no consagradas, las desinvestidas, las pequeñas trampas de lo cotidiano: un canal de aguas negras, un puerto arrasado, una oprobiosa zanja borrada? Desde el Camino de los Incas hasta los trazos de la «Zanja Nacional» en Argentina, entre la materia oscura de las aguas de Ciudad de México hasta los espectros de un edificio monumental abandonado en Caracas, a lo largo de este libro se lee que la potencia de las ruinas modernas está relacionada con el arcaísmo del capital, por un lado, y con su tenaz violencia que produce huella, marca e indicio, por otro. El tiempo de las ruinas restituye esas marcas como un sendero, como un gesto de lectura sobre el presente.
