A Black feminist-inspired archaeology?

Abstract: Archaeology has undergone a transition over the past two decades with the emergence of feminist discourses, and the mapping of women onto archaeological pasts. Yet Black feminist theorizing remains largely external to archaeological theory and practice, even though African-descended peoples constitute a considerable portion of the groups currently researched in the US and the Caribbean. It is a wonder that this is so, given the impressive body of literature that Black feminists have produced over the years reg… Show more

“…During the last ten years a similar set of reservations and shift in commitments is also evident in North American archaeology, as attested to by archaeologists who reiterate the need to rejuvenate feminist theoretical perspectives and a feminist engagement in/with archaeology (Conkey and Gero 1997;Conkey 2003;Franklin 2001;Geller and Stockett 2006;Hill 1998;Hays-Gilpin 2000;Meskell 1999;Wilkie and Hayes 2006;Spencer-Wood 2001). Anglo-American gender archaeology is a source of inspiration for much Scandinavian feminist archaeology and often also functions as an 'international' reference point, with the power to significantly influence Scandinavian archaeology.…”

“…For example, it does not mean using only feminist theory, but rather opens up the possibility of using feminist perspectives to interrogate and challenge other theories, whether they are Marxist, constructivist, post-colonial, ecological, Darwinian or any other of the theories used in archaeological analyses and interpretations. We can see this being done by the archaeologists who contribute to this special issue as well as in the "feminist sensibilities" that Wilkie and Hayes (2006) bring to bear in engaging global historical archaeologies, in the emphasis on difference in the third wave feminist challenge of Meskell (1999) to more traditional feminist archaeologies, and in the demand of Franklin (2001) that archaeologists to take up the challenge of Black feminist critical perspectives. Perhaps it is time to recognize that doing archaeology as a feminist is as diverse, productive, and rewarding as contemporary feminisms.…”

“…histórica a rejeição das grandes narrativas e dos grandes processos realiza-se na ênfase de estudos de atividades cotidianas e em menores recortes cronológicos. A vida cotidiana é um ponto de partida privilegiado para o conhecimento situado, colocando em foco os aspectos de gênero da vida social e formas de entendimento que normalmente permanecem obscurecidas pelo foco normativo das ciências sociais convencionais (FRANKLIN, 2001;BATTLE-BAPTISTE, 2011). Essas pesquisas põem em cheque outro conceito caro à arqueologia: a esfera doméstica.…”

“…Muito se tem discutido nos últimos anos sobre as estruturas alternativas dos lares de africanos e afrodescendentes nas Américas como efeitos dos limites e constrições da escravidão. Parentesco não sanguíneo, gravidez fora do casamento, distribuição da responsabilidade pelas crianças e produção centrada na mulher são alguns elementos destacados destas estruturas alternativas (DAVIS, 2005;FRANKLIN, 2001;BATTLE-BAPTISTE, 2007). Lares alternativos, famílias alternativas.…”
