“…The exhibition featured a range of everyday objects created for use in protest, activism, and the undermining of dominant power structures. In foregrounding objects such as a makeshift tear‐gas mask crafted from household items, the exhibition saw the “privileging of the authorless ad hoc over a more conservative aesthetic” typically associated with formal exhibition space (Soar & Tremlett, 2017, p. 427), while demonstrating DIY responses to inhabiting volumes made hostile. While raising questions about how volumes are propped up, realised, and resisted through objects, it also hints at how objects might feature more prominently in the practice and communication of volumetric research.…”

The last two decades have seen a "volumetric turn" within Anglophone social sciences and humanities scholarship. This turn is premised on the idea that space may be better understood in three-dimensional termswith complex heights and depthsrather than as a series of two-dimensional areas or surfaces. While there is an increasingly diverse and rich set of scholarship accounting for voluminous complexities in the air, oceans, ice, mountains, and undergrounds, all too often this work foregrounds state and military-led approaches to volume. This has resulted in a limited methodological toolkit through which to explore voluminous complexities as they emerge and extend beyond military and state contexts. Often reliant on elite interviews, archives, and cartographies, there has been little critical discussion of both methodological practice and the "flatness" of research outputs articulating three-dimensional worlds. In this paper we address this by foregrounding the role of immersive and multisensory methodologies (sounding volumes, seeing-sensing drone volumes, and object volumes). To conclude, we offer avenues for further inquiry, including attending to shifting everyday voluminous experiences in the Anthropocene, and the need to diversify the communication of "volume" research.

“…Superposición y disputa: A través de la sistematización de este bricolage del paisaje de la revuelta, este estudio logra explorar en la biografía de los motivos, sus disputas, su permanencia y su borramiento en el tiempo (Didi-Huberman, 2017;Soar y Tremlett, 2017). Mediante el registro y el análisis de los muros y sus capas, mostramos cómo el despliegue en el metro Baquedano obedece a una táctica hecha de gestos rápidos y espontáneos para visibilizar el malestar y el sentido de dicha lucha en el espacio público.…”

El artículo explora las intervenciones gráficas plasmadas durante las manifestaciones y protestas sociales del estallido social del 2019 y 2020 en los muros de la entrada norponiente de la estación del metro Baquedano ubicada en la comuna de Providencia, Santiago de Chile. A partir de técnicas proporcionadas por la arqueología y la etnografía se observaron, registraron y sistematizaron los motivos que se plasman sobre los muros de dicho inmueble a lo largo del tiempo. Así también, se identificaron los cambios materiales, sus capas y características, para correlacionar dichas materialidades con su escena y llegar a una aproximación de los significados que allí se expresan. Se concluye que los diversos significados que allí se plasman entran en disputa a través de un uso performativo del espacio público. La disputa por la visibilidad, a través del emplazamiento y ensamblaje de las intervenciones gráficas en los muros, permite dar cuenta de la configuración de un paisaje de la protesta. Una protesta en la cual, por sobre la ira y la violencia, se apela a idearios que dicen relación con el respeto y el sentido de justicia social.

“…Today, according to Harrison and Breithoff's () review article, “Archaeologies of the Contemporary World,” archaeological research on the very recent past distinguishes itself from historical archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and archaeological ethnography. Among the 2017 works exploring the relatively recent or contemporary world through an archaeological lens are studies of an Occupy Democracy protest (Soar and Tremlett ), American cities and national parks (Chenoweth ), a house fire in Chile (Angelo ), an immigration center in Australia (Clarke, Frederick, and Hobbins 2017), and transitions in modern cities around the globe (McAtackney and Ryzewski ).…”

These annual review essays focus on what we as archaeologists are doing year by year. Many themes continue on from review to review, waxing and waning, not unlike the bell curves of a traditional pottery seriation.Each year, themes are highlighted and presented in varied ways according to the orientation and aims of the reviewer. All do a masterful job of curating the vast range of what archaeologists were, in each annual period, currently producing. My review follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, summarizing an array of new and exciting research, and describing how agendas presented in 2017 cluster around sets of related questions and aims. It will also look at the growing literature that asks, in one way or another, fundamental questions about what archaeology really is and why we pursue it. In this time when the value of academic pursuits and scientific perspectives are being highly scrutinized in politics and popular culture, archaeologists are faced with the uncomfortable question of "What is it, really, that we should be doing?" [archaeology, current issues, public archaeology, digital archaeology] RESUMEN Estos ensayos de revisión anual se enfocan en lo que como arqueólogos estamos haciendo año tras año. Muchos temas continúan de revisión en revisión, creciendo o menguando, no muy diferente de las curvas en forma de campana de la seriación de la cerámica tradicional. Cada año, temas son enfatizados y presentados de varias maneras de acuerdo a la orientación y metas del crítico. Todos hacen un trabajo magistral de organizar un rango vasto de lo que los arqueólogos estaban, en cada período anual, realmente produciendo. Mi revisión sigue los pasos de sus predecesores, resumiendo una colección de nueva y emocionante investigación, y describiendo cómo las agendas presentadas en el 2017 se agrupan alrededor de juegos de cuestiones y metas relacionadas.También examina la creciente literatura que pregunta, de una manera u otra, cuestiones fundamentales acerca de lo que la arqueología realmente es y por qué nos dedicamos a ella. En este tiempo cuando el valor de los empeños académicos y las perspectivas científicas están siendo altamente escrutados en política y cultura popular, los arqueólogos se enfrentan a la pregunta incomoda de "¿Qué es lo que realmente deberíamos estar haciendo?"[arqueología, cuestiones actuales, arqueología pública, arqueología digital] ARCHAEOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION?While the theme of what such a diverse discipline should be subtly undergirds much of the literature, a number of 2017 articles, each in a very different way, directly address the very nature of what archaeology is and why we practice it. In the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, Assaf Nativ (2017, 55) asks us to reconsider our notions of the
