Presences and transformations of material indigenous cultural heritage
Call for Papers in Panel: Conference The Americas 2019
Publicado el jeudi 10 de janvier de 2019
Resumen
Interest on indigenous material culture goes back to early times. The interest of travelers, explorers and researchers has affected the forms and meanings of material production, and through out time, different historical and political processes have led to identity reconstitutions. Nowadays, it is possible to observe a revitalization and revalorization, not only of the objects, but as well of the techniques and materials of an indigenous ‘knowledge’, which includes technical, symbolic, social, economic and/or religious aspects, among others.

Panel: Presences and transformations of material indigenous cultural heritage
Conference The Americas 2019 : Future today / yesterday / tomorrow, Visions of Future(s) in the Americas
June 12th - 14th 2019, University of Bonn
Argument
Since the times of European colonization, indigenous groups in America have been part of a merchandising wave (commodities) and subject to various discourses around their objects. The interest of travelers, explorers and researchers has affected the forms and meanings of material production, and through out time, different historical and political processes have led to identity reconstitutions.
Nowadays, it is possible to observe a revitalization and revalorization, not only of the objects, but as well of the techniques and materials of an indigenous ‘knowledge’, which includes technical, symbolic, social, economic and/or religious aspects, among others. Despite this knowledge is often characterized as ‘ancestral’ or ‘millenary’, the stated processes have stimulated the creation of new contents and symbology of the material production. We are facing both the construction of a transferred image to the new generations and a present reality that is projected towards the future.
What are the mechanisms of these heritage making? What are the effects of those mechanisms over the identity statement and reconstruction? Which value is assigned to material production in this context? We invite papers that deal and exemplify critically these questions.
