Abstract
Description
De las cenizas del post-modernismo ha surgido un posthumanismo que ha declarado que el marxismo en arqueología
está muerto. Los partidarios de la teoría posthumanista de la Arqueología Simétrica seleccionan a su conveniencia algunas
ideas marxistas para luego refutarlas y descartarlas, sin considerar la profundidad y los matices que las diferentes teorías
marxistas poseen. Caracterizan de manera incorrecta a la dialéctica relacional como una forma de pensamiento de opuestos,
pero ignoran el dualismo fundamental que subyace a su propia postura teórica. Igualan a humanos y cosas argumentando que
ambos comparten una ontología común. El marxismo relacional resuelve la naturaleza dualista de esa postura y demuestra
que las cosas, los animales y la gente pueden estudiarse relacionalmente pero reconociendo al mismo tiempo las diferencias
ontológicas que existen entre ellos. El marxismo vive.
In archaeology, a Posthumanism has arisen from the ashes of post-modernism and declared that Marxism is dead in archaeology. Archaeological advocates of the posthumanist theory of Symmetrical Archaeology cherry-pick ideas to dismiss Marxism out of hand without considering the depth and nuances of diffrent Marxist theories. They misrepresent the relational dialectic as oppositional thinking and ignore the fundamental dualism of their own polemic. They equate humans and things by arguing that they share a common ontology. A relational Marxism resolves the dualistic nature of their polemic and shows that things, animals and people may be studied relationally while still recognizing ontological diffrences. Marxism lives.
