ABSTRACT

Over the past decade, discussions on ontology, animism and semiotics have generated numerous avenues of research on the meanings of rock images. In a context marked by the increasing recognition of Indigenous knowledges, a number of archaeologists have questioned representationalism and the idea that rock art has a fixed meaning in the past. In this paper, we discuss these new approaches with reference to the rock art of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of Central and Eastern Canada. We show how, for many Algonquian groups, rock art signified and continues to signify their experiences and practices in a continually emergent world. As such, we recognize that meaning within Algonquian relational ontologies is fluid without compromising the material-semiotic representations and intentions of the original creators. To illustrate this point, we examine the layers of significance associated with the rock art of the Canadian Shield and discuss a petroglyph site from the Canadian Maritimes.

岩画中的表现与意义:以阿尔冈昆岩画为例

摘要

在过去的十年中,关于本体论、万物有灵论和符号学的讨论产生了许多研究岩石图像意义的途径。在土著知识日益得到认可的背景下,许多考古学家质疑过去的表现主义和岩石艺术具有固定含义的想法。在本文中,我们将参考加拿大中部和东部讲阿尔冈昆语的民族的岩画来讨论这些新方法。我们展示了,对于许多阿尔冈昆族群而言,岩石艺术如何象征并继续象征着他们在不断涌现的世界中的经历和实践。因此,我们认识到阿尔冈昆关系本体中的意义是流动的,而不会影响原始创作者的物质符号表示和意图。为了说明这一点,
