A Reflection on Ontological Approaches in Archaeology: Uses, Limits and Possibilities.

This article will present and discuss the main characteristics of the ontological approaches in archaeology. Influenced by the “ontological turn”, this approach places as its central axis a concern for knowing multiple realities based on reflections on the very nature of being and matter. In this ar...

Influenced by the “ontological turn”, this approach places as its central axis a concern for knowing multiple realities based on reflections on the very nature of being and matter. In this article I propose to trace the theoretical path that led to these reflections, highlighting the theoretical-methodological approach proposed by Benjamin Alberti, which has been called recursive ontological archaeology.

I believe that reflection on any theoretical approach is an important exercise to broaden discussions and provide new understandings within archaeological theory itself.   Este artículo presentará y discutirá las principales características de los enfoques ontológicos en la arqueología. Influenciados por el “giro ontológico”, estas propuestas sitúan como eje central una preocupación por conocer múltiples realidades a partir de reflexiones sobre la naturaleza misma del ser y la materia. En este artículo propongo trazar el camino teórico que ha conducido a estas reflexiones, destacando el enfoque teórico-metodológico propuesto por Benjamin Alberti, llamado de arqueología ontológica recursiva. A lo largo de este estudio pretendo mostrar las bases de este enfoque, así como su potencial uso y límites. Creo que la reflexión sobre cualquier enfoque teórico es un ejercicio importante para ampliar las discusiones y proporcionar nuevas comprensiones dentro de la propia teoría arqueológica. Este artigo apresentará e discutirá as principais características das abordagens ontológicas em arqueologia. Influenciadas pela “virada ontológica”, estas propostas colocam como eixo central a preocupação de conhecer realidades múltiplas a partir de reflexões sobre a própria natureza do ser e da matéria. Neste artigo proponho traçar o percurso teórico que conduziu a estas reflexões, destacando a abordagem teórico-metodológica proposta por Benjamin Alberti, denominada arqueologia ontológica recursiva. Ao longo deste estudo pretendo mostrar as bases desta abordagem, bem como as suas potencialidades de utilização e limites. Acredito que a reflexão sobre qualquer abordagem teórica é um exercício importante para ampliar as discussões e proporcionar novos entendimentos dentro da própria teoria arqueológica.
