Multicultural archaeology. Untimely notes
Keywords:
Archaeology, Multiculturalism, Regimes of Othering.
Abstract
In the last two or three decades multiculturalism has set in motion profound changes, especially regarding the organization of society and the way history is represented. The discipline has been so shaped by the new social order that a multicultural archaeology has emerged. The analysis of how archaeologists nowadays relate to the “public” can serve to reflect on the limitations and problems that beset the multicultural logic (new regimes of othering through demands of authenticity and originality; tolerance; distance, political correctness). This paper aims to outline what a multicultural archaeology is and how it relates to wider topics such as intercultural understanding and decolonization.Downloads
