“…239. The concept of revitalization-a deliberate, organized, conscious effort by members of a society to construct a more satisfying culture-was introduced by Wallace 1956 to theorize phenomena as varied as cargo cult, messianic communities, political and religious reform movements, and revolution; it has been developed in material-focused directions by Liebmann 2008. 240.…”

We use information technology and tools to increase productivity and facilitate new forms of scholarship. For more information about JSTOR, please contact support@jstor.org.. University of California Press is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to Classical Antiquity. This article has two objectives. First, and in particular, it seeks to reinterpret the ostracism procedure of early democratic Athens. Since Aristotle, this has been understood as a rational, political weapon of collective defense, intended to expel from Athens a disproportionately powerful individual. In this article, by putting emphasis on the materiality, gestures, and location of ostraka-casting, I propose instead that the institution can more fruitfully be understood as a ritual enactment of civic unity. Second, and more generally, I hope to explore the frames within which early Athenian democracy is placed: while Greek kingship and tyranny (i.e. "primitive" polities) have been very successfully explored through anthropological and crosscultural comparison, Greek democracy for the most part has remained in the domains of the institutional historian and political theorist. Taking a phenomenological and comparative approach, this article asks how the citizens of early democratic Athens experienced and comprehended their new sovereignty and the invented procedures of mass decision-making through which it was expressed.

“…During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, they methodically discarded all Spanish elements including language, Spanish names, goods, plants, settlement plans, and ceramic styles. They also annulled church marriages and baptisms (Liebmann 2006:374–375, 2008:363–367). Although desecration existed before contact, one wonders whether some groups appropriated Spanish auto de fé techniques ironically as vehicles of nativism.…”

Contagion and Alterity: Kowoj Maya Appropriations of European Objects

From initial contact with the Europeans until their conquest (C.E. 1525-1697), the Itza and their political rivals, the Kowoj, dominated Petén, Guatemala. Colonial artifacts at Zacpetén record the initial appropriations of European objects by the Kowoj. All such objects rested in ceremonial contexts, indicating that the Kowoj considered them positive sources of sacred power. The Kowoj were in contact with the Spaniards and knew they were the source of the valued materials; hence, the materials also signified otherness.Social elites frequently retained objects obtained from long distances, even those of oppressive colonial groups, as positive contagion.I argue that the Kowoj incorporated colonial objects into their rites to harness the power of alterity.

“…Several archaeological studies addressing deportation, revitalization, and revolt explored the materiality of responses to violence and hegemonic state control. Using an example from the Southwest Pueblo Indian Revolt of 1680, Matthew Liebmann (2008) presented a reconsideration of Anthony Wallace's revitalization movement model, concluding that such movements are highly negotiated and heterogeneous phenomena that cultivate innovation. Similarly, Pamela Graves (2008) considered iconoclastic attacks on heads and hands of statuary and images in 16th‐ and 17th‐century England to provide an anthropological interpretation of punishment and personhood following revolt.…”

A review of published literature, conference proceedings, and Internet sources pertaining to "Americanist archaeology" in 2008 reveals three major themes: conflict, catastrophe, and collaboration. Scholars debated the role of archaeology in planning for and executing military operations in the Middle East while maintaining a vigorous interest in structural and physical violence worldwide.Environmental archaeologists considered the effects of catastrophic events, including new theories over the demise of Clovis cultures. In addition, several major reports and regulations highlighted the complexities of indigenous relations and gender equity in the profession.Enhanced technologies, funding for global initiatives in human rights, economic and environmental sustainablility, and creative forms of engagement are reshaping "Americanist archaeology" as a democratic, anthropological, and relevant pursuit.
