¿Manufacture, use and disposal? Or about the social entanglement of ceramic objects
If we think that things and objects are the result of a multidimensional bundle of actions and relationships, material or inmaterial, made by human and nonhuman agents, it is difficult to keep thinking about the materiality of objects and the archaeological record in terms of processes, as a series...

Si pensamos a las cosas y a los objetos como el resultado de un entramado multidimensional de acciones y relaciones, materiales e inmateriales, concretadas por agentes humanos y no humanos, resulta difícil seguir pensando a la materialidad de los objetos y del registro arqueológico en términos de procesos, como serie de fases sucesivas de acciones o conductas. Estos entramados entre las cosas y las personas son dinámicos, flujos constantes de acciones e interrelaciones, donde los objetos se constituyen como un efecto dinámico de las mismas; pero no en el sentido de sus causas, sino haciendo efectivas una serie de posibilidades dadas por las estrategias y los recursos puestos en juego, las disposiciones de los agentes participantes y su posición en un espacio social. Con estos criterios, no podemos pensar luego a los objetos y a sus contextos como el producto de acciones (conductas) y partes de un proceso, pues ya no existiría una cadena de comportamiento sino un fibrado de interrelaciones superpuestas, donde cada intersección es un lugar de mediación entre otras tantas acciones y relaciones. A través del análisis situacional y relacional de un conjunto de vasijas del Valle de Ambato (Catamarca, Argentina) mostraremos las potencialidades de un enfoque de este tipo para el estudio de la tecnología cerámica, más allá de sus procesos de manufactura, uso y descarte.

If we think that things and objects are the result of a multidimensional bundle of actions and relationships, material or inmaterial, made by human and nonhuman agents, it is difficult to keep thinking about the materiality of objects and the archaeological record in terms of processes, as a series of successive phases of actions or behaviors. These bundles between things and people are dynamics, steady flows of actions and relationships, where objects are constituted as a dynamic effect of this relationships, not in the sense of their causes but making effective a series of possibilities given by the strategies and the resources involved, the disposition of the agents involved and their position in social space. With these criteria, then we can not think of objects and their contexts as the result of actions (behaviors) and parts of a process, no longer exist a chain of behavior but a bundle of overlapping relationships, where each intersection is a place of mediation among many other actions and relationships. Through a situational and relational analysis of a set of pots from the Ambato Valley (Catamarca, Argentina) we show the potential of this approach for the study of ceramic technology, beyond their manufacturing, use and disposal. |
