Radical Archaeological Theory Symposium (RATS) ’09: "Anarchism and
Archaeology"
Binghamton University (SUNY), Binghamton, NY

Submitted by Ian Fekete
Anthropology graduate students at Binghamton University (SUNY) are organizing
a RATS (Radical Archaeological Theory Symposium)conference, October 16-17, 2009.
The theme will be "anarchism and archaeology."
The label “radical archaeologist” carries both theoretical and practical
implications. As people who wear the label proudly, we share
a commitment to engage with ideas that are often considered anti-establishment,
marginal, or confrontational. Moreover, we embrace
a political commitment to act against entrenched systems of oppression, such as
racism, sexism and discrimination; and on a larger scale all forms of
colonialism and imperialism.
The greatest threat to a radical position is a slow mainstreaming into
respectability -- when a “grand theory” becomes institutionalized,when debates
are reduced to questions of doctrine, when radical
practice is bravely (re)presented in discourse but does not extend beyond the
classroom or lab door.
This RATS conference challenges archaeologists to engage with ideas drawn
from the political philosophy of anarchism: the belief that hierarchies of any
kind are inevitably corrupting, oppressive and dehumanizing; and a paired
commitment to act against hierarchies and coercive practices at all times.
We believe that any discussion of theory is aimless without a paired focus on
practice/praxis. Anarchism can easily be viewed as a principle of practice only.
One goal of this conference is to examine the extent to which anarchist practice
can, is, or should be grounded in theory. How can we rethink the dialectic, but
all too often missing, link between anarchist theory within academia and
anarchist practice outside of academia?Few archaeologists self-identify as
anarchists, yet we are perhaps uniquely suited to investigate and expose the
situated, historical
trajectories of hierarchy, domination and resistance. Moreover, as practitioners
in the classroom, lab, field and society, we can set our imagination free and
live out our ideas. We wish to explore the
implications of anarchism for archaeological theory and practice.
We challenge participants to consider:
1. Does anarchism have a body of theory that can be applicable to
archaeological theory?
2. Can or should archaeology contribute to anarchist theory(?) and practice?
3. How would an anarchist archaeology be theorized and practiced?
4. What roadblocks (institutional, pedagogical, practical and
otherwise) to anarchist archaeological theory and/or practice must be
opposed, and how?
5. How can anarchist archaeological theory and methods be developed?
We invite papers on these and related topics for presentation and discussion.
We envision a lively, participatory environment, with an agenda largely directed
by the wants and needs of the group. Breakout
session space will be made available. In addition to the papers and discussions,
possibilities include but are not limited to video reports/digests, web
presentations, poster/art creation and display,
developing an agenda for an anarchist archaeology, etc. The goal is to open
spaces for new forms of discussion and presentation.
Abstracts for papers (150 words or less) are requested by Friday,April 24,
2009. In addition, proposals for specific working groups, or posters or other
visual presentations, are requested by the same date
(though these will be accepted later as well). Direct all submissions and
inquiries to rats.binghamton.09@gmail.com
