Emerging ontological approaches in archaeology have been seeking to provide a new basis for the future orientation of the discipline. This inspired us to problematise one of the metaphysical assumptions of the field—the phenomenon of prejudice. Owing to the modern origins of archaeology, prejudice may still be perceived as a negative element that we should, ideally, eliminate. Our interpretative phenomenological research inquired into how prejudice is experienced by archaeologists, aiming to reveal its ontological significance. This means that archaeologists themselves, from diverse national and personal contexts, have become the source of our data. We uncovered the phenomenon in interviews, focus group discussions, and during field observations. In an effort to promote interdisciplinary dialogue in the humanities, this article also provides individual scholarly and professional perspectives of each author on the phenomenon under question. Finally descending deep into the metaphysical origins of the field suggested a possible applied direction for future archaeological–ontological research.

“…Sullivan 1999Sullivan , 2017aVermeylen, this volume). As theorized in the anthropology of landscapes more generally (Bender 1993;Tilley 1994; Ashmore/Knapp 1999; Ingold 2000; Bender/Winer 2001; Tilley/Cameroon-Daum 2017), these 'other' (and othered) understandings and experiences arguably emerge for onlookers only when culture and land are perceived as mutually constitutive domains, produced in relation to lived and remembered practices and experiences (Sullivan in press). Such analyses point towards both contrary and competing "regimes of visibility" at work in the deployment of cartographic techniques of representation (Tsing 2005: 44; see also Harley 1988 and as discussed by Goldman, this volume), and to the density of known, used and remembered places in the broader landscape that can remain diminished and displaced in postcolonial contexts.…”

“…He contrasted the general understanding of Himalayan landscapes with the sense of dwelling within a particular Himalayan life world. Building on the work of anthropologists such as Tilley (1994) and Ingold (2000Ingold ( , 2007, geographers such as Wiley (2005Wiley ( , 2007, and Tallinn University's interdisciplinary landscape project, 2 he defined landscape as a relational process of constant becoming. This involves the weaving together of human and nonhuman, animate and inanimate people.…”

Indiascapes: Reflecting on India at the 11th EASA conference

The recent Commonwealth Games opening ceremony aimed to showcase the places and people of India to the world. The image it sought to project (of a united yet diverse place, where the past and the present sat comfortably together) was at odds with the image that Western-based media companies had projected in the weeks building up to the games. This latter vision was of India as a chaotic and wild place, where hygiene was questionable and planning imprecise. This is no surprise, for these elements of the modern Indian landscape often attract the Western gaze. This summer a group of academics came together at the annual meeting of European social anthropologists in an attempt to somewhat rectify the selective nature of this gaze through a presentation of different reflections on (and of ) landscapes of contemporary India. The group, which consisted of both Indian and Western academics, gathered together for two panels, connected by the workshop title ‘Indiascapes: reflections of contemporary India’.1 It was part of a larger academic conference, the 11th biennial conference of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA), which attracted over 1,100 academics. Most participants came from Europe but there were also delegates from Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America. The theme of the conference was ‘Crisis and Imagination’ and Professor Talal Asad gave the keynote speech. The conference was hosted by the National University of Ireland, Maynooth; the organising team included the local department of anthropology, EASA and NomadIT (a professional event organising team).
