Abstract This reaction to the Paul Newson and Ruth Young paper entitled ‘Post-conflict ethics, archaeology and archaeological heritage. A call for discussion’ (Archaeological dialogues, 2022) supports the call for a discussion regarding archaeological ethics in post-conflict zones. Following the agreement on the fuzzy border between the state of ‘conflict’ and ‘post-conflict’, it reflects on the continuity between these two. Furthermore, the reaction adds an additional issue to the discussion, which is the ethical ground of ‘being above the conflict’. Applying a ‘holistic ethic’ approach, it reflects on the ethical assessment of archaeological practices performed by Russian archaeologists in the zones that were damaged during conflict, escalated due to the actions of the Russian government. A series of examples are shown to consider the complexity of ethical judgements in this particular case. Last but not least, the reaction claims that in some cases ethical judgements are possible and effective due to the convergence of numerous factors.
这是对Paul Newson和Ruth Young题为“冲突后伦理、考古学和考古遗产”的论文的回应。呼吁讨论”(考古对话,2022)支持关于冲突后地区考古伦理的讨论。在就“冲突”状态和“冲突后”状态之间的模糊边界达成一致后,它反思了这两者之间的连续性。此外,这种反应为讨论增加了一个额外的问题,即“凌驾于冲突之上”的道德基础。采用“整体伦理”方法,它反映了俄罗斯考古学家在冲突期间对考古实践的伦理评估,冲突因俄罗斯政府的行动而升级。在这个特殊的案例中,我们展示了一系列的例子来考虑道德判断的复杂性。最后但并非最不重要的是,反应声称,在某些情况下,由于多种因素的共同作用,道德判断是可能和有效的。

Abstract On the occasion of a short research trip to Japan, I had the opportunity to sit down with Professor Koji Mizoguchi in Kyushu University, Fukuoka, to discuss several topics, which you will find transcribed below. I was curious as to his thoughts that he – as the President of the World Archaeological Congress, a non-governmental and non-profit organization that promotes the exchange of archaeological results, training at a global scale and the empowerment of Indigenous and minority groups, a Professor of Social Archaeology, and one of the few archaeologists writing archaeological theory in the far East – had on the state of the art of archaeology today. Furthermore, since I grew up in Europe but nevertheless feel a deep connection with my own Asian ancestry, I was very interested in Mizoguchi’s own experience and contributions to archaeology in Japan and the world.
摘要在一次短暂的日本考察之旅中,我有机会与福冈九州大学的沟口晃二教授坐下来讨论了几个主题,你会发现这些主题转录如下。我很好奇他的想法,他作为世界考古大会主席、社会考古教授、,作为远东为数不多的撰写考古理论的考古学家之一,他对今天的考古艺术有着重要的影响。此外,由于我在欧洲长大,但仍然与我自己的亚洲血统有着深厚的联系,我对沟口自己的经历以及对日本和世界考古的贡献非常感兴趣。

Archaeological encounters: Ethics and aesthetics under the mark of the Anthropocene 考古遭遇:人类世标志下的伦理与美学

Abstract What legitimizes archaeological work in an age of global climate change, socio-political crises and economic recession? On what topics should archaeology focus its research questions, and what forms of archaeological engagement are not merely justifiable but able to make a difference in light of such challenges? Today, there is a tendency, we argue, that archaeological responses to current challenges are expected to align with a specific mode of conduct, political stance and genre, where, for example, a very particular notion of activism, responsibility and ethics is dominating. There is no denial that current challenges call for immediate instrumental reactions, but we contend that valuable reactions can – or even must – vary, and that more fundamental and slow ontological and epistemological change should also be nested within these responses. In this article, we explore what it means to care – what it means to be concerned – in the Anthropocene through archaeological practice and aesthetic engagement. By highlighting the relations between ethics and aesthetics, we explore ways in which we get in touch with the objects of concern, placing undecidability and speculation as dispositions equally important to urgency and impact.
摘要在全球气候变化、社会政治危机和经济衰退的时代,是什么使考古工作合法化?考古学的研究问题应该集中在什么主题上,什么形式的考古参与不仅是合理的,而且能够在这些挑战下有所作为?今天,我们认为,有一种趋势是,考古对当前挑战的反应预计将与特定的行为模式、政治立场和流派相一致,例如,在这种模式下,激进主义、责任和道德的特定概念占主导地位。不可否认,当前的挑战需要立即的工具性反应,但我们认为,有价值的反应可以——甚至必须——有所不同,更根本、更缓慢的本体论和认识论变化也应该嵌套在这些反应中。在这篇文章中,我们通过考古实践和美学参与,探讨了人类世中关心意味着什么——关注意味着什么。通过强调伦理和美学之间的关系,我们探索了我们接触关注对象的方式,将不确定性和推测性视为与紧迫性和影响同等重要的倾向。

Signs of prehistory. A Peircian semiotic approach to lithics 史前的迹象。石刻的皮尔式符号学方法

Abstract How can we understand prehistoric lithic objects? What meaning should we give them and what view should we adopt to claim access to their significance? How can we reduce and clarify our biases? This article is a proposal to introduce Peircian semiotics to review lithic objects. For a long time, these were apprehended as types, sometimes within evolutionary lineages; however, in this research, knapped stone objects will be perceived through a semio-pragmatic grid and reviewed as signs. The proposed approach is a new way of accessing the fields of technical phenomena of prehistoric communities. This new perception aims at a quest for objectivity, by clarifying the affective, analytical and interpretative a priori as an answer to the sometimes very personal view of the prehistorian on lithic objects. Charles Sanders Peirce’s logical theory of signs or semiotics is contextualized within an ‘artisanal’ reading of prehistoric tools as initiated by Éric Boëda and further developed by Michel Lepot. Through this phaneroscopic/phenomenological vision, the technical object, now a sign-object, is placed in action (semiosis) within a system of signs. This new trajectory is positioned both as a methodological tool and as an innovative milestone in the construction of a more logical episteme in Prehistory, taking lithics both as signs of past human activity and of archaeological representations.
我们如何理解史前石器?我们应该赋予它们什么样的意义,我们应该采取什么样的观点来获得它们的重要性?我们如何减少和澄清我们的偏见?本文建议引入皮尔符号学来审视石器。很长一段时间,这些被理解为类型,有时在进化谱系中;然而,在本研究中,敲击的石头物体将通过半实用的网格来感知,并作为符号进行审查。该方法是探索史前群落技术现象领域的一种新途径。这种新的感知旨在通过澄清情感,分析和解释先验来寻求客观性,作为史前学家对石器物品有时非常个人的观点的答案。Charles Sanders Peirce的符号或符号学逻辑理论是在史前工具的“手工”阅读中被语境化的,该阅读由Éric Boëda发起,并由Michel Lepot进一步发展。通过这种显像/现象学的视觉,技术对象,现在是一个符号对象,在符号系统中被放置在行动(符号学)中。这一新的轨迹既被定位为方法论工具,也被定位为构建更具逻辑性的史前知识的创新里程碑,将石器既作为过去人类活动的标志,也作为考古表征。

Humanness as performance 作为表演的人性

Abstract If archaeology is the examination of historical conditions with reference to a surviving material residue, then one way in which these conditions might be characterized is as the different ways they had enabled the development of different forms of humanness. The historical construction of this diversity is discussed here as the ways that the relationships between humans and things had been performed. This means that the practice of archaeology must question the recent desire to adopt a flat ontology that defines archaeology as the ‘discipline of things’. It is argued that it was by means of the performances established between humans and their various objects of concern that different forms of human life were able to define themselves. The implications of this argument for the practice of archaeology are explored.
如果考古学是对历史条件的考察,参照现存的物质残留物,那么这些条件的一种特征可能是它们使不同形式的人类发展成为可能的不同方式。这种多样性的历史构造在这里是作为人与物之间的关系的方式来讨论的。这意味着考古学的实践必须质疑最近采用将考古学定义为“事物的学科”的扁平本体论的愿望。有人认为,正是通过在人类和他们所关心的各种对象之间建立的表演,不同形式的人类生命才能够定义自己。本文探讨了这一论点对考古学实践的影响。

whether itwouldbepossible toexplore thehumanityandhumannessof thepast bymeansofobserving performance on the material constraints. It is certainly true that such a detailed and delicate observation/examination on performance with relation to material constraints would contribute to a better understanding of humanity andhumanness.However, I feel that other factors – such as habitus incarnated intobodyorstructuralproperties inmemoryorevenstockofknowledge–whichare inheritedby memory and its negotiationbetween generation andwhich also become grounds for (historical) intersubjectivity and we-relation (Schutz and Luckmann 1973, 1983), are important. It is questionable whether the observation on performance withinmaterial constraints could be harmonized, conflicted and compromised with habitus, structural properties and stock of knowledge, and whether we can interpret the relations between those factors in archaeological practice. Barrett also suggests a ‘bottom up’ approach rather than a ‘top down’ one, saying that history has always been made by diverse practices that are lived both temporally and spatially and also that history is a process that was created from the bottom up and from the accumulation of local performance. His approach, to me, seems so enlightened and feasible since most of archaeological interpretation on the past society so far tends to emphasize the centre, core, elite, ritual, etc., rather than the periphery, boundary, the commoner, daily life, etc. Moreover, as Barrett points out, it cannot be denied that numerous past societies have been categorized by simple and few criteria (as mentioned above) into several types of societies. I believe that it is so important to look closely into how power could be activated and exercised in actual situations in which the material would condition and/or enable human performance and, at the same time, humans would perform or leave the trace of possibilities of performance within those material constraints in various ways. However, I think his interest in humanness and performance does not necessarily mean that he would ignore ‘traditional issues’ in social archaeology. It is still important to understand the process of growing centrality, concentration of population, long distance exchange or trading systems to trigger the evolution of a past society and to maintain this. I feel that Barrett’s ‘bottom up’ approach could/should be pondered in archaeological practice and interpretation. However, this does not necessarily mean that history is only composed of this ‘micro-history’ or ‘bottom up’ approach. Therefore, it would be ideal if we could find more ways and routes to interlink these two different approaches harmoniously or even sometimes contradictorily.
是否有可能通过观察在物质约束下的表现来探索过去的人性和人性。当然,对与物质限制有关的性能进行如此详细和细致的观察/检查,将有助于更好地理解人性和人性。然而,我觉得其他因素——比如体现在身体上的习惯或记忆中的结构属性、知识储备——由记忆和代际间的协商继承,也成为(历史的)主体间性和我们关系的基础(Schutz和Luckmann 1973, 1983),是重要的。在物质约束下对性能的观察能否与习惯、结构特性和知识储备相协调、冲突和妥协,以及我们能否在考古实践中解释这些因素之间的关系,都是值得怀疑的。巴雷特还提出了一种“自下而上”的方法,而不是“自上而下”的方法,他说历史总是由不同的实践创造的,这些实践既存在于时间上,也存在于空间上,而且历史是一个自下而上的过程,是由地方表现的积累创造的。在我看来,他的方法是如此的开明和可行,因为迄今为止,大多数考古学对过去社会的解释都倾向于强调中心、核心、精英、仪式等,而不是外围、边界、平民、日常生活等。此外,正如巴雷特所指出的,不可否认的是,许多过去的社会已经被简单而少数的标准(如上所述)划分为几种类型的社会。我认为,仔细研究如何在实际情况下激活和行使权力是非常重要的,在这种情况下,材料会限制和/或使人类能够发挥作用,同时,人类会以各种方式在这些材料限制下表现或留下表现可能性的痕迹。然而,我认为他对人性和表演的兴趣并不一定意味着他会忽视社会考古学中的“传统问题”。了解日益增长的中心性、人口集中、长途交换或贸易系统的过程,以触发过去社会的演变并保持这种演变,这一点仍然很重要。我觉得巴雷特的“自下而上”的方法可以/应该在考古实践和解释中加以思考。然而,这并不一定意味着历史只由这种“微观历史”或“自下而上”的方法组成。因此,如果我们能找到更多的方法和途径,将这两种不同的方法和谐地甚至有时是矛盾地联系起来,那将是理想的。

different and concomitant senses, innovatively utilizing archaeological data to piece together sensuous pasts. The archaeology of the senses highlighted that sensory engagement is synaesthetic and argued that Western narratives arbitrarily created five distinct sensory categories (Hamilakis 2011, 210). This critical engagement with the senses developed the discourse and reconfigured the potentiality of sensuous engagement in the past for contemporary audiences. Reading Barrett’s paper, it is obvious that the role of the visual is vital in his theoretical discussion, as seen in his proposal that new visual technologies might offer opportunities for excavators to better understand historical locations (Barrett 2022, 12); his argument that action can be read like a sign (2022, 6) andhis emphasis that performances are observed (2022, 9); the visual permeates his discussion. Barrett’s discussion could be accused of ocularcentrism; developing the performative aspect of his argument will likely remedy this issue. Barrett focusses on performance, drawing a distinction between the performer and the observed (2022, 8); a Baradian phenomena entangles these positions. A more profitable line of enquiry might be the analysis of ‘doing’ or making together, whether we consider the affective relationships formed during ‘communitas’ (emotive collective togetherness; see Turner 2012) or the embodied knowledge and communication that occurs in communities of practice (Wenger 1998; Wendrich 2013; discussed in Govier 2017); rather than reiterating a cartesian division (cf. Barrett, 2022, 9), the interwoven character should be addressed. For the record, I am for the archaeological record– in the sense that I think archaeologicalmaterials hold knowledge and information about past events (cf. Barrett, 2022, 11). If we take Barad’s theory on board, it is clear that there is a great amountof information in archaeologicalmaterializations owing to the interwoven character of matter and discourse. As such, the archaeological record is not simply a ledger or register or script documenting a sequence of events but an opportunity to gain ontological insight into factors suchasdiscursivity, power, causality, agency andmateriality.Regardlessof training and expertise (cf. Barrett, 2022, 9), nooneperson or excavation teamshould be placed in the privileged positionof sole responsibility for interpretation; informationmustbecollected andshared in amanner that makes further research possible. Finally, I see no need to offer a blanket statement about what humanity is or isn’t, was or wasn’t, especially one that starts with the notion that humanity ‘respected the significance of people, plants, animals, and things’ (Barrett 2022, 1) – evidence of human activities unequivocally suggests otherwise.
不同的和伴随的感官,创新地利用考古数据拼凑出感性的过去。感官考古学强调感官参与是通感的,并认为西方叙事任意创造了五个不同的感官类别(Hamilakis 2011210)。这种对感官的批判性参与发展了话语,并为当代观众重新配置了过去感官参与的潜力。阅读巴雷特的论文,很明显,视觉的作用在他的理论讨论中至关重要,正如他提出的新视觉技术可能为挖掘机提供更好地了解历史位置的机会(Barrett 2022,12);他认为行动可以像符号一样解读(2022,6),并强调观察表现(2022,9);他的讨论充满了视觉效果。巴雷特的讨论可能会被指责为眼偏心症;发展他的论点的表演性方面可能会解决这个问题。巴雷特专注于表演,区分表演者和被观察者(2022,8);巴拉迪现象纠缠着这些位置。一条更有利可图的调查路线可能是对“一起做”或共同创造的分析,无论我们是考虑“社区”期间形成的情感关系(情感集体团结;见Turner 2012),还是实践社区中发生的具体知识和交流(Wenger 1998;Wendrich 2013;Govier 2017讨论);与其重申笛卡尔式的划分(参见Barrett,2022,9),不如解决交织的特征。为了记录,我支持考古记录——从某种意义上说,我认为考古材料掌握着关于过去事件的知识和信息(参见Barrett,2022,11)。如果我们接受巴拉德的理论,很明显,由于物质和话语的交织特征,考古物质化中存在大量的信息。因此,考古记录不仅仅是记录一系列事件的账本、登记册或脚本,而是一个对话语性、权力、因果关系、能动性和物质性等因素进行本体论洞察的机会。无论培训和专业知识如何(参见Barrett,2022,9),任何人或挖掘团队都应处于全权负责解释的特权地位;信息必须以一种方式收集和共享,才能使进一步的研究成为可能。最后,我认为没有必要对人类是什么、不是什么、曾经是什么或不是什么进行笼统的陈述,尤其是从人类“尊重人、植物、动物和事物的重要性”这一概念开始的陈述(Barrett 2022,1)——人类活动的证据明确表明情况并非如此。

The archaeology of the senses highlighted that sensory engagement is synaesthetic and argued that Western narratives arbitrarily created five distinct sensory categories (Hamilakis 2011, 210). This critical engagement with the senses developed the discourse and reconfigured the potentiality of sensuous engagement in the past for contemporary audiences. Reading Barrett’s paper, it is obvious that the role of the visual is vital in his theoretical discussion, as seen in his proposal that new visual technologies might offer opportunities for excavators to better understand historical locations (Barrett 2022, 12); his argument that action can be read like a sign (2022, 6) andhis emphasis that performances are observed (2022, 9); the visual permeates his discussion. Barrett’s discussion could be accused of ocularcentrism; developing the performative aspect of his argument will likely remedy this issue. Barrett focusses on performance, drawing a distinction between the performer and the observed (2022, 8); a Baradian phenomena entangles these positions. A more profitable line of enquiry might be the analysis of ‘doing’ or making together, whether we consider the affective relationships formed during ‘communitas’ (emotive collective togetherness; see Turner 2012) or the embodied knowledge and communication that occurs in communities of practice (Wenger 1998; Wendrich 2013; discussed in Govier 2017); rather than reiterating a cartesian division (cf. Barrett, 2022, 9), the interwoven character should be addressed.

尽管人们呼吁关注细节和人类对事物的参与,但这一观点仍然保持着一定的距离。更具体地说,在这片风景中,被具体化的自我的表现会是什么样子?在季节的变化和有神殿和储藏室的封闭山丘上,人们究竟会关注什么:他们手中的犁?他们的鞋子漏水了?天空中雷鸣般的云?正在生长的斯佩尔特小麦?
