Since the 1980s, archaeology has been further embedded in a reinforced and accelerating capitalist ideology, namely neo-liberalism. Most archaeologists had no alternative but to adapt to it through concessions to the free-market economy and to the so-called mitigations taking place within development. However, it is now apparent that the ongoing global socio-ecological disaster we are facing cannot be reversed with compromises but rather with a radical engagement against the injunctions of competition and growth. I suggest that we must anticipate the necessary transformations of archaeology in the coming decades, before archaeology becomes a technical avatar of the neo-liberal dogma, or before its complete annihilation for being deemed ‘superfluous’ (Wurst 2019, 171) by the capitalist regime. In this paper, I will use the idea of ‘degrowth’ to propose a new paradigm for archaeology by applying the concepts of civil disobedience, voluntary simplicity, redistribution of means and the ethics of no-growth.

在退化运动中可以想象考古学吗?

自 1980 年代以来,考古学进一步嵌入了一种强化和加速的资本主义意识形态,即新自由主义。大多数考古学家别无选择,只能通过对自由市场经济的让步以及在发展中发生的所谓缓解措施来适应它。然而,现在很明显,我们所面临的持续的全球社会生态灾难不能通过妥协来扭转,而是通过彻底反对竞争和增长的禁令来扭转。我建议我们必须预见未来几十年考古学的必要转变,在考古学成为新自由主义教条的技术化身之前,或者在它被资本主义政权视为“多余的”(Wurst 2019, 171)完全消灭之前. 在本文中,
