Resumen
MARCONETTO, María Bernarda y VILLANUEVA CRIALES, Juan. The End of the Kingdoms: Dialogues between Tiwanaku and La Aguada. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.53-73. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda37.2019.03.
Objective/context:
This paper once again brings the iconographies of Tiwanaku (Titicaca high plateau, Bolivia) and La Aguada (Northwest of Argentina) into discussion, more than 40 years after the works of Rex González and Ponce Sanginés. It does so in an entirely different context with a decolonial emphasis. Objects, images, ethnographic information and archaeologists from both sides of a border between “nations” are assembled with the clear intention of questioning very deep underlying assumptions of archaeology.
Methodology:
Beginning with the paths posed by images and colors, these knots also bind humans and things, shamanic experiences and meteorological phenomena.
Conclusions:
After bringing La Aguada and Tiwanaku into dialogue, based on our research trajectories, the discussion leads to a reflection on the present consequences of naturalizing segmented and functionalist gazes of the animal and plant worlds in the past, which originate in the ontological underpinnings of our own modernity.
Originality:
The text aims to approach decolonial criticism from the study of concrete cases and to contribute to these debates on the basis of archaeological materiality.
