Abstract

In this article I argue for a renewed engagement with the concept of positionality in archaeology. I provide a brief history of thinking about the idea of subject position in archaeology, focusing specifically on researcher subjectivity rather than that of past persons. The discussion highlights some of the strands of archaeological thinking where positionality has figured prominently in investigative and interpretative strategies: namely, intersectional, relational, and community-based archaeologies. I then offer three examples from research in Quintana Roo, Mexico that speak to the ways that grappling with positionality has influenced my and my collaborators’ agendas and goals related to the commemoration of the heritage of the Maya Social War (Caste War of Yucatan).

位置性反思:墨西哥金塔纳罗奥的考古遗产实践
在这篇文章中,我主张重新研究考古学中的位置性概念。我简要介绍了考古学中关于主体地位概念的思考历史,特别关注研究人员的主体性,而不是过去的人的主体性。讨论强调了考古学思维的一些分支,其中位置性在调查和解释策略中占有突出地位:即交叉考古学,关系考古学和社区考古学。然后,我提供了三个来自墨西哥金塔纳罗奥研究的例子,这些例子说明了与位置性的斗争如何影响了我和我的合作者的议程和目标,这些议程和目标与纪念玛雅社会战争(尤卡坦的种姓战争)的遗产有关。
