DE LA ARQUEOLOGÍA DEL PASADO A LA ARQUEOLOGÍA DEL FUTURO: ANOTACIONES SOBRE MULTICULTURALISMO Y MULTIVOCALIDAD

Abstract

It has been said that archaeology has close deals with the past. It has been said that such deals are marked by certain materiality. It has been said. The union of past and matter, suspended by question marks and perhaps a fertile relationship if stated differently, could have led archaeologists to explore unknown meanings accorded to things (animated in some cosmologies), unthought dimension of meaningful sacredness, transcendent spaces otherwise. But it didn’t happen that way: past and matter were objectified and reified, boldly used for constructing the temporal teleology of modernity. This paper explores such events.
