Archeologizacja krajobrazu. Dynamika współczesnych przemian i negocjowanie społecznych znaczeń - przykład wybranych wsi Jury Krakowsko-Częstochowskiej

In the article, the authors describe the process of archaeologization of selected objects in the local landscape, using examples from five municipalities located in the northern areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland. They look at the processes of persistence or transformation (replacement, revitalization, expansion) and abandonment (destruction, disappearance). The analysis of the collected materials combines the perspectives of archaeology and ethnography/cultural anthropology. It is part of the understanding of landscape as a cultural heritage that runs over time, its form and meaning are fields for negotiation by various entities (local communities, state administration and experts/researchers).In the article, the authors describe the process of archaeologization of selected objects in the local landscape, using examples from five municipalities located in the northern areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland.

Industrial Obelisks : Working-class memory and Barcelona's chimney-monuments

Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu CEX2019-000940-MThis study critically examines the transformation of industrial chimneys into monuments within Barcelona's deindustrializing urban landscapes. Since the 1970s, redevelopment contexts and reimaging strategies have led to the conservation of industrial chimneys as public art and historic monuments. This paper explores the intersection of urban memory, heritage, and transformation in Barcelona, highlighting the absence of a coherent 'Authorized Heritage Discourse' and the resulting ambiguity in the meaning of these monuments. Analyzing this unique heritage practice, the study considers its impact on historic memory and working-class identity within the city's urban fabric. The research situates chimney-monuments within broader discussions on postindustrial redevelopment, urban design, heritage conservation, and public memory amidst deindustrialization. By examining the symbolic and material dimensions of industrial chimneys within Barcelona's political-economic shifts and contemporary social movements, the paper unpacks their polysemic meanings. This analysis contributes to local debates and reflects broader European trends. The study questions how these monuments are integrated into working-class memory politics and shifting heritage regimes. Recognizing that historic monuments are dynamic material and cultural processes subject to ongoing resignification, the paper concludes with a discussion on the potential roles of insurgent heritage practices in connecting past and present social struggles.

Our Museum of Colonialism: Indigenous Representations of Museography in the Colombian Caribbean

This article is a philosophical exploration of the logic of colonial object collection by Kogui communities in northern Colombia. As revealed in a recent publication, some elders of the Kogui community of the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta preserved what could be an ax and a sword used in the conquest campaigns of the region, which occurred in the first decades of the sixteenth century. The information collected on this practice of artifact conservation was gathered within the framework of a series of conversations with leaders of this Indigenous community in northern Colombia that took place between 2018 and 2019. In these conversations, the logic of conserving these objects in the framework of the Indigenous social movement's political project was specified. In this case study, we first review the analytical tools that allow us to shift our attention from the classical theories of how museums, archeology, and history are defined. Then, we present the Kogui case, which questions the hegemonic narratives of regional history.This article is a philosophical exploration of the logic of colonial object collection by Kogui communities in northern Colombia.

“INLAND AREAS” AND INTEGRATION POLICIES Starting again from “the pulp and the bone”

Following a long process of modernization - of which the urban systems and the plains have been the nuclei - the territories on the margins of development are beginning to be the subject of renewed widespread interest today. Nonetheless, looking at and reflecting on this space does not mean focusing attention exclusively on it, however. It is not a matter of pitting marginal territories against those of modernity and development; rather, it is a matter of considering these parts of the territory, present in every country, in relation to each other. It is about reversing the dominant narrative, the one oriented by a discriminatory logic that divides the territory into areas that deserve more and others that deserve less. It is about reversing the gaze, through the acquisition of an awareness on the part of communities that the status of marginality does not represent a local and isolated condition, but instead concerns a significant part of European regional contexts.   Keywords: territorial differential, intra-regional gap, metaphor of “the pulp and the bone”, systemic territorial approach.Peer Reviewe

Η συγκρότηση του εθνικού παρελθόντος της Μακεδονίας: η συμβολή του Μανόλη Ανδρόνικου

Πρωταρχικός σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να διερευνηθεί η συμβολή του αρχαιολόγου Μανόλη Ανδρόνικου στη νοηματοδότηση του εθνικού παρελθόντος της Μακεδονίας και στην συγκρότηση του ιδεότυπου του Έλληνα αρχαιολόγου. Η εργασία κινείται ανάμεσα σε δύο χρονικά ορόσημα. Πρώτον, την ανακάλυψη των μακεδονικών τάφων της Βεργίνας από τον Μανόλη Ανδρόνικο και την ομάδα του το Νοέμβριο του 1977 και τη συνέντευξη τύπου που την ακολούθησε λίγες μέρες μετά και δεύτερον τον θάνατο και την κηδεία του Ανδρόνικου, εν μέσω κρίσης του Μακεδονικού ζητήματος, το 1992. Ως πηγές αξιοποιήθηκαν τα άρθρα που δημοσίευε τακτικά ο αρχαιολόγος στην εφημερίδα το Βήμα, το αυτοβιογραφικό του βιβλίο το Χρονικό της Βεργίνας, επικουρικά επιστημονικές του δημοσιεύσεις και τέλος άρθρα από τον ημερήσιο Τύπο, κυρίως από εφημερίδες ευρείας κυκλοφορίας των ετών 1977 και 1992. To πρώτο κεφάλαιο κάνει λόγο για εκείνες τις πτυχές της επιστήμης της αρχαιολογίας, που απασχόλησαν την εργασία. Ειδικότερα, γίνεται μία συνοπτική αλλά αναγκαία αναφορά στις διεργασίες κατά τη συγκρότηση του πεδίου, τόσο στην Ευρώπη, όσο και στην Ελλάδα. Κατόπιν, μετά την αναγκαία περιοδολόγηση στην αρχαιολογία της Μακεδονίας παρουσιάζονται ορισμένες πτυχές του αρχαιολόγου και του διανοούμενου Μανόλη Ανδρόνικου που θα επιτρέψουν να ενταχθεί στην εποχή του. Στη συνέχεια στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο μελετώνται οι πρακτικές και οι επιλογές που οδήγησαν τις αρχαιότητες της Βεργίνας να καταστούν συμβολικό κεφάλαιο. Την ίδια ώρα βέβαια τονίζονται κι εκείνες οι τελετουργίες που συνέδεσαν τον ίδιο τον αρχαιολόγο άρρηκτα με τα ευρήματα της ανασκαφής. Για να γίνουν αντιληπτές οι παραπάνω διεργασίες σκιαγραφούνται παράλληλα τα δίκτυα που συγκροτούν συλλογικές ταυτότητες στην Μακεδονία των δεκαετιών ’80 και ’90. Μέσα σε αυτά τα δίκτυα διαφαίνεται η θέση και οι χρήσεις της αρχαιολογίας. Τέλος, στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τα συμπεράσματα της εργασίας. Αρχικά η διαπίστωση πως το κοινό συμβολικό κεφάλαιο των ευρημάτων και του αρχαιολόγου της Βεργίνας βρέθηκαν να πρωταγωνιστούν στην πολιτική συζήτηση για το όνομα του νέου κράτους της Δημοκρατίας της Μακεδονίας. Δεύτερον ποιες ήταν οι συνέπειες αυτής της υπερτροφικής συζήτησης γύρω από τα ευρήματα στη δημόσια σφαίρα, πολλές φορές συνδεμένης με τα εθνικά επιχειρήματα στο Μακεδονικό ζήτημα για την ίδια την επιστήμη της αρχαιολογίας και την παρουσία της στη δημόσια σφαίρα. Καταληκτικά, συνοψίζονται η συμβολή του Μανόλη Ανδρόνικου για το πώς τελικά ενεγράφησαν τα ευρήματα και ο ανασκαφέας τους στη συλλογική συνείδηση των Ελλήνων και ειδικά των κατοίκων της Μακεδονίας, όπως αυτή διατρέχει όλο το κείμενο.The primary objective of this research is tο explore the contribution of the archaeologist Manolis Andronikos in the conceptualization and the contextualization of the national past of Macedonia and in the formation of the type of the Greek archaeologist. Two milestones form the main structure of the research: firstly, the discovery of the Macedonian tombs of Vergina from Manolis Andronikos and his team, in November 1977 and the press conference that followed a few days after and secondly the death and the memorial service of Andronikos, in the middle of another episode of the Macedonian conflict, in 1992. The research was based upon the following sources: Primarly, Andronikos’ articles, frequently published in the daily newspaper To Vima and his autobiographical book Vergina’s Chronicle. Secondarily, his academic works, and finally, the Press and especially articles from the daily, widely circulated newspapers of 1977 and 1992. The first chapter refers to those aspects of Archaeology that worked as parameters in this research. In particular, a special reference is made, focusing on the process and the existing conditions during the formation of the scientific field of Archaeology both in Europe and in Greece. After a necessary periodization of the excavations in Macedonia, they are presented certain aspects of the archaeologist and the intellectual Manolis Andronikos, assisting us to delineate his image as an intellectual of his time. In the second chapter it is explored, how through practices, choices and ceremonies, the findings of Vergina were established as symbolic capital. At the same time, they are highlighted the ceremonies which inextricably linked the archaeologist with Vergina’s findings. To understand the above process, they are explored the networks that have reformed the collective identities in Macedonia, in the years 1980-1990. Through those networks, emerge the role and the uses of archaeology. In the last chapter, they are presented the conclusions of the research. First of all the ascertainment that the archaeologist and the Vergina findings along as a symbolic capital have been crucial elements in the public debate about the name of the new state of the Democracy of Macedonia. Secondly, what were the consequences for Archaeology, produced by this type of hypertrofic public discuss concerning the Vergina findings, often linked to the national discourse about the name and the rights of the new state. In the end, it is drawn the outline of Andronikos’ contribution on how the excavator and the findings of Vergina were established in the collective consciousness of Greeks and in particular, of Macedonia’s inhabitants
