Abstract

Recent experiences within the discipline and my fieldwork in the town of Portobelo, Panama, have left me questioning the epistemic genealogy of archaeology and the complicity between archaeological and capitalist ontologies. Observing the specter of dispossession that hangs over Portobelo as a result of Eurocentric archaeological discourses and heritage-management practices of conservation has directed me to analyze archaeological knowledge production within the coloniality of power. I contemplate how archaeology is implicated in the violence that allows capitalism to persist by examining processes of dispossession through an exploration of the relationship among archaeology, discourses of market development, and the logics of coloniality/modernity that inform them.

Extracto

Las experiencias recientes dentro de la disciplina y mi trabajo de campo en la ciudad de Portobelo, Panamá, me han dejado cuestionando la genealogía epistémica de la arqueología y la complicidad entre las ontologías arqueológicas y capitalistas. Observar el espectro de despojo que se cierne sobre Portobelo como resultado de los discursos arqueológicos eurocéntricos y las prácticas de conservación del patrimonio me han dirigido a analizar la producción de conocimiento arqueológico dentro de la colonialidad del poder. Contemplo cómo la arqueología está implicada en la violencia que permite que el capitalismo persista al examinar los procesos de despojo a través de una exploración de la relación entre la arqueología, los discursos sobre el desarrollo del mercado y las lógicas de la colonialidad/modernidad que los informan.

Résumé

Mes expériences récentes dans ma discipline et au cours de mon travail de terrain à Portobelo au Panama, m'ont conduite à remettre en question la généalogie épistémique de l'archéologie et la complicité entre les ontologies archéologique et capitaliste. L'observation du spectre de la dépossession qui plane sur Portobelo en conséquence des discours archéologiques eurocentriques et des pratiques de conservation pour la gestion du patrimoine m'a orientée vers une analyse de la production des connaissances archéologiques au sein de la colonialité du pouvoir. J'examine la manière dont l'archéologie est impliquée dans la violence permettant la persistance du capitalisme, par une observation des processus de dépossession au moyen d'une exploration de la relation entre l'archéologie, les discours sur le développement de marché et les logiques de colonialité/modernité qui les nourrissent.

Acknowledgments:

I would like to thank Guido Pezzarossi for the opportunity to present at the 48th Annual Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology in Seattle, Washington, and for his patience and support in permitting me the space to process the thoughts shared in that paper. I would also like to thank him and Mark P. Leone for their thoughtful comments on previous drafts. To the community of Portobelo, and all local communities with whom we archaeologists work, I thank you for sharing your knowledges of pasts, presents, and futures with us. I apologize for the violence and dispossession that my discipline has inflicted upon you and your ancestors. May our encounters henceforth be of transformational solidarity, into which we both bring and from which we both take more than we contain.
