“…Entre os anos de 1940 e 1960, inúmeras ilhas foram usadas para isolar materiais de potência incontrolada, com consequências duradouras aos sistemas socioecológicos e comunidades insulares, associando elementos materiais, contextos sociais e esgotamento de recursos (Asadi, 2014;Valencio, 2010). A dizimação causada pelos testes nucleares no Atol de Biquíni, no Pacífico, é um exemplo disso (Brown, 2013).…”

Este texto explora caminhos para arqueologias do racismo à brasileira a partir de um olhar microhistórico. Propõe uma arqueologia negra que é letramento racial e que amarra sociologia ambiental, antropologia e história sociais à ginga arqueológica sob perspectivas ancestrais. Analisa as práticas materiais que deram base aos constrangimentos estruturais a que foi submetido um guarda portuário, Antônio Luiz Aguapio (1904-1985), focando em sua trajetória entre territórios negros e racializados, e em seu trabalho na Ilha do Braço Forte, Rio de Janeiro. Conclui que sua jornada conecta ruínas, criminalização e destruição, e pondera como as encruzilhadas de sua vida são exemplos de uma arqueologia que pensa racismo, capitalismo e excessos materiais da modernidade

terra australis 36Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.

Inquiries should be made to the publisher. This volume began life as a session at the 2010 Australian Archaeological Conference on the cultural heritage of protected areas in the Asia-Pacific region. Our particular concern was with the proposition that the discourse of nature conservation was predisposed to a vision of protected areas (in the form of national parks and other 'nature' reserves) as pristine nature. According to such a vision, protected areas represent wildernesses that, having escaped the ravages of human exploitation, had now to be preserved as the last reservoirs of biodiversity on a planet threatened with ecological disaster. To what extent, we asked, did such a mindset eclipse the history and heritage of protected areas as human habitats, not to mention effacing the contemporary presence in them of living human cultures?These questions engage the much larger issue of the culture-nature divide as an ontological marker of Western modernity. This divide should more properly be described as a 'duality' or a 'dyad', terms that have been used to describe a habit of thought which developed in the West from the seventeenth century but with older antecedents. This habit of thought also produced the distinctive mind/body split which is particularly identified with the Cartesian worldview. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the real world ramifications of the culturenature duality from those working in fields ranging from sociology (for example, Latour 1993) and anthropology (Ingold 2000; Haraway 2006), to geography (Whatmore 2006;Head 2007). In Australia it has occupied the attention of Debbie Rose (1996Rose ( , 2011 and others in the Ecological Humanities group. 1 There has been a growing consciousness of the extent to which culture-nature dualism is foundational to Western modernity and thus seminal to the West's encounter with the non-Western world.In modern Western thought, society (or culture) has been understood to be not just radically separate from nature but situated in a hierarchical relationship of dominance to it. This ontological model facilitated the vastl...
