Ceci n’est pas un subalterne. A Comment on Indigenous Erasure in Ontology-Related Archaeologies

Abstract

AbstractHaving followed with great interest the latest scholarly literature on ontology-related archaeologies, especially in this journal, this essay will problematise the extractive nature of much of this scholarship in the long-history of Western imperialism, in which Indigenous knowledge has been collected, depoliticised, classified, and then re-signified within Western frameworks.
