For Stephen Hugh-Jones and Caroline Humphrey This commentary revisits the author’s Entangled Objects: Exchange, Material Culture and Colonialism in the Pacific (1991). The book argued that classic types of exchange such as “the gift” were, in the forms in which they had long been observed and theorized by anthropologists, importantly influenced by colonial histories. This essay highlights the importance of sheer materiality, that is, greater attention to the physical constitution of artifacts, but in particular advocates greater engagement with Indigenous theorization of transactions, values, and the spiritual identities of things.

To be lost and found at sea: What kinds of thinking does the shipwreck prompt? This essay pursues this question by centering fragmented remains—large beeswax blocks and Chinese porcelain ware—from the Santo Cristo de Burgos, a Spanish galleon lost while traveling from Manila to Acapulco at the end of the seventeenth century. By considering how durable commodities were recovered and reimagined, primarily by Indigenous inhabitants of the Oregon coast, this essay reflects upon the kinds of histories that can be written around and because of wrecked ships. Tacking between past and present, we use the Santo Cristo de Burgos to draw out the lineaments of a shipwreck’s art history, bringing into focus three interrelated themes, each critical to the material histories of wrecks: the interpretive recalcitrance of cargo, the reframing of value through recovery, and the production of material surplus in the watery depths.
在海上失而复得:海难引发了怎样的思考?本文以圣克里斯多·德·布尔戈斯号的碎片遗骸为中心来探讨这个问题,这些碎片包括大块的蜂蜡块和中国瓷器。圣克里斯多·德·布尔戈斯号是一艘西班牙大帆船,在17世纪末从马尼拉前往阿卡普尔科途中丢失。通过考虑耐用商品是如何被恢复和重新想象的,主要是由俄勒冈海岸的土著居民,这篇文章反思了可以围绕失事船只撰写的各种历史。在过去和现在之间,我们使用圣克里斯多·德·布尔戈斯(Santo Cristo de Burgos)画出沉船艺术史的轮廓,重点关注三个相互关联的主题,每个主题都对沉船的物质历史至关重要:对货物的解释抗拒,通过恢复重新构建价值,以及在深海中生产剩余物质。
