Title: Sessão do TAG na Universidade de Exeter (UK) no próximo mês de Dezembro e respectiva publicação- agradeço divulgação

Overcoming the Modern Invention of Material Culture
Coordenadores:
Julian Thomas (Univ. Manchester) e Vítor Oliveira Jorge (Univ. Porto)
Discussant: Tim Ingold (Univ. Aberdeen)



The idea of culture, as something distinct to, and opposed from nature, is an intellectual construct that prevents us to understand human experience: not only ours, but other’s. Yet, our thought is impregnated with that dichotomy and its ramifications. For instance, the distinction between spiritual and material aspects of life, which lead to the common _expression_ “material culture”. Another concept whose discussion is needed is technology, because it operates as a sort of abstract bridge between two other invented margins - influencing themselves mutually through action - the mental and the practical. We need to dissolve these boundaries in order to acquire a more effective knowledge. A knowledge which gives account of common experience, instead of being separated from it. This is a pre-condition of an interesting archaeology. An archaeology released from traditionally invented divisions between past and present, or artifacts and bodies. An archaeology turned into the study of “the formation of the environment of our living-in.” (T. Ingold).

This session - open to archaeologists, anthropologists, architects, artists and other colleagues interested - intend to departure from the idea that in reality nothing is motionless. People and things constantly make each other in an environment where multiple beings and qualities exist together, and interact. This comprehension is fundamental for the understanding of sociality, and the ways by which power and status are continuously negotiated in everyday life.


IMP: deadline para proposta de papers, seg. os organizadores do TAG: 30 Setembro.
Como é apenas uma sessão de meio-dia, só algumas comunicações poderão ser oralmente apresentadas (o signatário, por exemplo, prescinde para dar lugar a outros colegas). Mas garantimos a sua publicação (isto é, de todas as comunicações aceites por ambos os coordenadores, naturalmente) no JIA 9-10 (2006/2007) no mesmo formato das já publicadas no JIA 8, 2006 (“Approaching Prehistoric and Protohistoric Architectures of Europe from a Dwelling Perspective”). O JIA, subsidiado pela FCT (FACC) será publicado na primavera de 2007 e apresentado em público na FLUP, no dia 23 de Março, aquando da 11a mesa-redonda de Primavera do Porto.

Assim, no JIA 9-10 serão publicadas as “Actas” desta sessão do TAG e, com o devido separador, os artigos já aceites para publicação no JIA e que nada tenham a ver com essa sessão.
