Frontiers of Evangelization: Indians in the Sierra Gorda and Chiquitos Missions.

Archaeology as Necessarily Political

Archaeology is indeed one of the whitest disciplines. In the report American Archaeologist carried out by the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), 89% of respondents identified themselves as having European ancestry, i.e. being white (Zeder 1997: 13). More recently, the 2020 Profiling the Profession report states that 97% of archaeologists in the UK are white (Aitchison et al. 2021). There are no official data for the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), but I surmise a similar percentage of white people. There are only few initiatives whose work has been crucial to truly diversify ethnicity within the discipline, namely the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA) and the Indigenous Archaeologist Collective (IAC) in the US and the European Society of Black and Allies Archaeologies (ESBAA)

La semántica de la cultura material: Andalucía ‘morizada’ y ‘desmorizada’

Andalusia has been always a liminal space between the West and the Orient. Since the late 18th century, the Muslim heritage of the region has been imagined, visited, and praised by foreign visitors, and remains its most well-known cultural legacy. Yet the language used in didactic panels when explaining Muslim monuments tends to refer more to its Christian past or its current use than to their Arab history and subsequent alienation under Christian rule. This article aims at analysing the logic and politics behind this use of language in two case studies, the touristic enactment of the Mosque- Cathedral of Córdoba, and La Giralda in Seville. It contextualises these monuments both in their medieval-modern past and in the present, when current Islamic terrorist attacks are fostering xenophobia, as well as the alienation of Muslim migrants and inhabitants in Andalusia, who seek to reroute their ‘European’ identity and connections by way of the Muslim history of the region.Andalucía ha sido siempre un espacio liminar entre el Oeste y el Oriente. Desde finales del siglo XVIII, el patrimonio musulmán de la región ha sido imaginado, visitado y alabado por visitantes extranjeros, y continúa siendo su legado cultural más conocido. Sin embargo, el lenguaje usado en los paneles didácticos que explican los monumentos musulmanes tiende a hacer referencia más a su pasado cristiano o a su uso actual que a su historia árabe y a su ulterior alienación bajo mandato cristiano. Este artículo se centra en analizar la lógica y la política que se esconde tras ese uso del lenguaje explorando dos casos de estudio: la Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba y La Giralda de Sevilla. Se contextualizan los dos monumentos tanto en su pasado medieval-moderno como en el presente, cuando los ataques terroristas islámicos están fomentando la xenofobia, así como la alienación de los migrantes y habitantes musulmanes en Andalucía, quienes tratan de canalizar su identidad y conexiones “europeas” a través de la historia musulmana de la región

In the Lands of Fire and Sun: Resistance and Accommodation in the Huichol Sierra, 1723-1930.

The Huichols, in the high mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, survived Spanish colonial rule and still resist today (or try to resist) the Mexican state. Stephens’s study charts the history of the Huichols, from the arrival and later conquest of the area by the Spaniards to the post-independence period and early decades of the twentieth century

Borderlands in the Making: deterritorialisation in South Iberia (9Th-6Th Centuries BC)

Durante las tres últimas décadas, numerosos/as arqueólogos/as han discutido extensamente sobre el ritual funerario original de las poblaciones del sur ibérico entre los siglos ix y vi a.c., esto es, cremación o inhumación. Este debate está además conectado con la existencia o no de complejidad social antes de la llegada fenicia, con la aparición de una élite “orientalizada” y con la adopción de nuevos objetos y prácticas por las poblaciones locales. En este artículo hago uso del concepto deleuziano de “desterritorialización” y lo asocio con el de “frontera” desarrollado por anzaldúa para interpretar la sociedad del sur ibérico. Para ello, analizo la evidencia funeraria indígena y cuestiono la división estricta entre cremación e inhumación en la región; así como examino la profundidad y significado de los cambios funerarios en las comunidades locales.Over the last three decades, there has been wide discussion among archaeologists on the origins of the funerary rituals in South Iberia between the 9th to 6th centuries BC, namely cremations or inhumations. This debate is connected with the existence of social complexity in the region prior to the Phoenician arrival, the emergence of an ‘Orientalised’ elite after contact and the adoption of new objects and practices by the local population. In this paper, the Deleuzian concept of ‘deterritorialisation’ is linked to the idea of ‘borderlands’ developed by Gloria Anzaldúa to analyse South Iberian society. In doing so, I explore indigenous funerary data and challenge the strict division between cremation and inhumation in the region, as well as examine the depth and meaning of changes in funerary rituals for local communities

Del colonialismo y otros demonios: fenicios en el sur peninsular entre los siglos IX y VII/ VI a.C.

By the end of the 9th century BC, Phoenicians set up permanent settlements around the Mediterranean Basin. This study aims at discussing how European colonialism has influenced the way in which we understand Phoenician contact with native populations. Because Mediterranean archaeology has always paid more attention to the colonizers than to the relationships established with the people who lived in those territories, this paper starts with an analysis of colonial terminology to evaluate its roots and the impact of European imperialism in concepts such as “colony” and “orientalizing” period. This is followed by an examination of postcolonial views of cultural contact situations through material culture in South Iberia between the 9th-7/6th centuries BC. The paper culminates with an appraisal of the relationship between Phoenicians and the inhabitants of South Iberia, questioning Phoenician “colonialism” during that period.A finales del siglo IX a.C., los fenicios fundaron asentamientos permanentes a lo largo del Mediterráneo. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar no tanto dichos asentamientos como la influencia que ha ejercido el colonialismo europeo en el modo en el cual comprendemos el contacto fenicio con las poblaciones locales. Como la arqueología del Mediterráneo ha dedicado más atención a los colonizadores que a las relaciones establecidas con la gente que vivía en esos territorios, este artículo comienza con un análisis de la terminología colonial para evaluar sus raíces y el impacto del imperialismo europeo en conceptos como “colonia” y período “orientalizante”. Esta discusión va seguida del examen de las posturas poscoloniales sobre las situaciones de contacto cultural a través del registro arqueológico en el Sur ibérico entre los siglos IX y VII/VI a.C. Finalmente, el artículo analiza las relaciones entre los fenicios y las poblaciones locales en el mediodía peninsular, cuestionando el “colonialismo” fenicio durante ese período.

Improving the Power Electronics Laboratory teaching/learning process: an interactive web tool

European Higher Education Area; Power Electronics Laboratory; educational methods Resumen: The forthcoming European Higher Education Area implies an important change in the teaching/learning process: it is necessary to get students more involved as well as to promote their independence and active participation. To achieve this objective, the new teaching methodologies aimed at more effective and appropriate learning for professional practice involve the use of audiovisual, computer and multimedia tools on the part of lecturers. Therefore, a web tool, based on a content management system, has been developed for the teaching in Power Electronics Laboratory. Moreover, the use of these multimedia tools makes possible to promote the students independence. Finally, the use of this web tool results in a very significant increase in the motivation students.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
