Comparative Archaeologies
Archaeology, as with all of the social sciences, has always been characterized by competing theoretical propositions based on diverse bodies of locally acquired data. In order to fulfill local, regional expectations, different goals have been assigned to the practitioners of Archaeology in different regions. These goals might be entrenched in local politics, or social expectations behind cultural heritage research. This comprehensive book explores regional archaeologies from a sociological perspective—to identify and explain regional differences in archaeological practice, as well as their existing similarities. This work covers not only the currently-dominant Anglo-American archaeological paradigm, but also Latin America, Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, and Africa, all of which have developed their own unique archaeological traditions. The contributions in this work cover these "alternative archaeologies," in the context of their own geographical, political, and socio-economic settings, as well as the context of the currently accepted mainstream approaches.
Calima and Malagana
This book, summarizing more than 25 years of research by a multinational team of scholars, chronicles the cultural and artistic development in a key region of Colombia from 8000 BC to the early Colonial period. Goldwork and pottery (including the spectacular finds from the recently excavated Malagana site) are discussed in the context of changes in the agricultural landscape, social and political evolution, and indigenous belief systems.
Antropólogos, maestros e investigadores
Este libro pretende recuperar los hitos históricos de la carrera antropológica en Antioquia por medio de las palabras y miradas de algunos de sus testigos. Sobra decir que cada uno de ellos ha emprendido, con celo académico, la búsqueda de las fuentes que dan cuenta de los hechos y datos de un pasado tan amplio como complejo. Lo que no está de más es advertir que estos cronistas, de cara a la efeméride, han gozado de la libertad de encontrar sus propias voces, sus propias perspectivas y sus propios modos de indagación y escritura, resultado de lo cual es que en las páginas que siguen aparezca tanto el tono formal como el anecdótico o, incluso, el poético; que se recurra a la narración fluida o a los datos escuetos; que se remonte el tiempo hasta las brumas del siglo XIX o que se noticie lo que acaba de acontecer en el campus de la Universidad de Antioquia; o que se privilegien tanto los archivos documentales como la memoria viva de quienes han tomado parte en esta historia. Por lo demás, este libro no podría haber sido compuesto de otra manera: lo protagonizan y relatan humanos, diversos humanos.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
