“…False assumptions about the nature of how ethnicity is materially expressed were combined with nationalist and racialist ideologies that hypothesized a variety of ancestral European homelands or hearths. These ideologies, and the archaeology that supported them, found full expression under fascism and communism, a subject explored in recent publications (Arnold 1990(Arnold , 2006Arnold and Hassman 1995;Galaty and Watkinson 2004;Kohl 1998a;Milisauskas 1990Milisauskas , 1997a.…”

“…Despite almost superhuman efforts by some remarkable scholars to overcome the system, the creation of a hierarchic bureaucratic structure within universities and museums effectively suppressed ideas that were contra these agendas or that simply did not interest or convince those in power (Galaty and Watkinson 2004;Milisauskas 1986Milisauskas , 1990Milisauskas , 1997a.…”

While some researchers continue to focus fruitfully on traditional issues, in recent years new perspectives, some strongly revisionist, have developed within European Iron Age archaeology, moving it from a long-static state into a rapidly changing milieu. Studies of colonialism, imperialism, and interaction have undergone sequential shifts into new territory, while topics related to sacred activity, political apparatuses, and the ruler-subject relationship have undergone substantial reworking. Perspectives absent from earlier literature have emerged: gender, age, ethnicity, and identity, and interpretations employing theories of practice, agency, landscape, and embodiment have emerged, mirroring broader disciplinary shifts. An overarching trend sees Iron Age Europe as a series of interactive societies with both broad similarities and sharp regional, even local, differences, moving through time and ever-changing relationships, influences, and trajectories. The collision of traditional and revisionist scholarship has produced debate, some heated, but has improved and invigorated the field.

“…Archaeology has been used to forge national identities and reinforce dictatorships in Europe (Legendre et al 2007;Galaty and Watkinson 2006;Funari 2008a), as well as in Latin America (Funari et al 2009). In this paper we follow in the steps of Ucko (2003:v) in examining the changing appropriations of Ancient Egypt in Brazil over time (Bakos 2003).…”

________________________________________________________________In this paper we consider archaeology as a product of social interaction, and discuss how ancient Egyptian materiality has been an important part of identity building in Brazil. We begin by reviewing our theoretical setting, and suggest that a postmodern approach is most helpful to our goal of understanding the social context of the public uses of archaeology. The paper then turns to the trajectory of ''Egyptomania'' in Brazil, from the 19th century onwards, highlighting the importance of cultural movements such as Kardecism and Masonry in this trend. We argue that the use of Egyptian subjects in Brazil has connections with social inequality, racism, and gender biases. Finally, we present a case study on positive recent trends in the presentation of ancient Egypt in school textbooks which highlights critical approaches to the use of ancient Egyptian subjects in contemporary Brazil. ________________________________________________________________Résumé: Dans cette étude, nous étudions l'archéologie en tant que produit de l'interaction social, et examinons dans quelle mesure la réalité de l'Égypte antique a joué un rô le déterminant pour construire l'identité au Brésil. Nous commençons avec l'examen de notre cadre théorique pour affirmer qu'une approche postmoderne est la plus appropriée pour atteindre notre objectif, qui consiste à comprendre le contexte social des utilisations publiques de l'archéologie. L'étude se penche ensuite sur l'évolution de « l'égyptomanie » au Brésil, depuis le XIXe siècle jusqu'à nos jours, en soulignant l'importance des mouvements culturels dans ce courant, comme le Kardecisme et la Franc-maçonnerie. Nous montrons que l'utilisation des thèmes égyptiens au Brésil a des liens avec l'inégalité sociale, le racisme, et les préjugés sexistes. Pour terminer, nous présentons une étude de cas sur les tendances manifestes actuelles de la présentation de l'Égypte antique dans les livres scolaires, qui souligne des approches décisives pour l'utilisation des thématiques de l'Égypte antique dans le Brésil contemporain. ________________________________________________________________Resumen: En este trabajo consideramos la arqueología como un producto de interacció n social y sostenemos que la materialidad de los antiguos egipcios ha sido una parte importante de la construcció n de identidad en Brasil. Comenzamos revisando nuestro trasfondo teó rico y sugerimos que el enfoque posmoderno es el más ú til para nuestro objetivo de entender el contexto social de los usos pú blicos de la arqueología. A continuació n, el trabajo aborda la trayectoria de la ''Egiptomanía'' en Brasil, a partir del siglo XIX, destacando la importancia de movimientos culturales como el kardecismo y la masonería en esta tendencia. Lo que sostenemos es que el uso de temas egipcios en Brasil está relacionado con la desigualdad, el racismo y los prejuicios de sexo. Para concluir, presentamos un estudio de caso sobre las recientes tendencias positivas en la presentació ...

“…In fact, the very definition of what is acceptable science under extreme forms of political authoritarianism has been an attribute of the political power (Beyerchen, 1977;Josephson, 1996;Martin, 1999). In the case of the social sciences, the issue of ideological control becomes especially relevant, and governments usually try to make extensive use of these disciplines for their own purposes of ideological legitimation (Galaty and Watkinson, 2004). In general, political authoritarianism has been found to be a negative factor in the development of the social sciences (Patel, 2009).…”

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to explore the extent and determinants of the production of scientific management and organization studies (SMOS). Design/methodology/approach -This paper is a quantitative analysis of bibliometric data. Findings -The results of a comparison of number of authorships in a broad number of journals reveal that the share of the US production in the field is declining. However, the visibility of authors from developing countries remains at an extremely low level. Regarding the analysis of the determinants of academic production in the discipline, the estimated count data models highlight the relevance of economic, linguistic and political factors, which have a positive and highly significant effect on the countries' published research output. Practical implications -The concluding section discusses how the quantity and quality of SMOS in developed countries could be improved. Originality/value -The paper presents new evidence about the unequal distribution of the countries' production in SMOS as well as on its determining factors.
