This study explores avenues to know and establish new dialogues, that value not only the cultural good in itself, but also all of its spatial context. We expose a series of ethnographic techniques and analyse the use of them in different situations.

Yucatán through Her Eyes: Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, Writer and Expeditionary Photographer

Hispanic American Historical Review, 2010

Working side by side as photographers and archaeologists, the Le Plongeons were the first to excavate and systematically photograph the Maya sites of Chichen Itza and Uxmal. After spending eleven years in the field, she devoted the rest of her life to lecturing and published books and articles on a wide range of topics, including her exploration of Maya civilization, political activism and social justice, and epic poetry. Alice&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s papers became public in 1999 and included photographs, unpublished manuscripts, correspondence, and a handwritten diary; over two thousand of her prints and negatives survive today in public and private collections. Combined with Lawrence Desmond&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s biography of this remarkable woman&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s life, her diary offers readers a rare glimpse of life in the Yucatan peninsula during the final quarter of the nineteenth century, and an insider&amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s view of fieldwork just prior to the emergence of Mesoamerican archaeology as a professional discipline.

The methodological approach aims to discuss the need to integrate ethnographic studies into the proposals for the conservation of archaeological sites. We argue that the existing interactions that occur between the remains and the public must be taken into account when making conservation proposals. These same interactions will be the protagonists of this story narrated by an anthropologist and a conservator from the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona. The text analyzes from a reflective interdisciplinary perspective, how systematic observation techniques, mapping, and risk management applied to heritage, are fundamental tools to transform preventive archaeological conservation into a dynamic science that adapts to the challenges of contemporary Archaeology.

Esta actividad forma parte del programa EscoLab, una iniciativa del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona, que pretende acercar la ciencia a los escolares de secundaria. A partir de un taller basado en la dinámica hands-on los alumnos se ponen en la piel de un investigador y reproducen el proceso de análisis e interpretación de los materiales arqueológicos.

Interacting with Heritage: Social Inclusion and Archaeology in Barcelona

As GAPP members, we helped to organize a street parade for this festival (the 4th Rua Xic, in 2014) which ended at the Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya (MAC, or Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia) where a short play with an historical theme was performed. Based on this participatory experience, we aim to ponder the limits and possibilities of heritage in triggering critical thinking, even when archaeologists take a secondary role. We discovered that even when people access the past in an uninformed way, with 'heritage' in an ancillary role, it can help resolve social tensions and positively reinforce community identity.

La India Bonita': National Beauty in Revolutionary Mexico

Cultural Dynamics, 2002

Mexico's indigenous heritage and the figure of the feminine woman emerged as critical resources for nationalists, especially their efforts to combat the threat to the formation of national consciousness posed by feminism. This essay seeks to uncover the gendered construction of the rural mestiza in post-revolutionary Mexico, through a critical reading of representations both in the popular press and in the narratives of intellectuals such as the social scientist, Manuel Gamio, his peers, and predecessors.

Towards a Comparative Approach to Archaeologies of Early Modern Spanish Colonialism

Contributions To Global Historical Archaeology, 2016

This book seeks to contribute a global comparative archaeological approach to colonial processes ... more This book seeks to contribute a global comparative archaeological approach to colonial processes and colonial situations related to the Hispanic Monarchy and the ways in which they were experienced. Beginning with the better known Americas, it follows with Africa and the Pacific in a wish to explore Spanish colonialism beyond the parameters of existing research. There is a preference for peripheral cases, many of them not yet well known and not yet present in the mainstream scholarly discourse. Ultimately, we have aimed at striking a balance between theoretical, methodological and empirical issues; at critically examining the construction of categories and discourses of colonialism, furthering issues raised by post-colonial and Latin American de-colonial theories; and at questioning the ideological underpinnings behind the source material required to address our topic.

RESUMEN
A lo largo de este trabajo vamos a explorar distintas metodologías que hemos aplica-do para el estudio de la relación del patrimonio arqueológico ubicado en el espacio público y el tejido social del Barrio Gótico de Barcelona. La presencia de elementos arqueológicos confiere un diálogo ruina-habitante que distintos agentes pueden utilizar en distintos momentos. Este estudio explora la forma de conocer y establecer nuevos diálogos que valoricen no solo el bien cultural en sí mismo, sino todo su contexto es-pacial. Para ello expondremos una serie de técnicas etnográficas y analizaremos el uso de las mismas en distintas situaciones. Este se contextualiza en un momento marcado por la llegada al poder de los partidos de abajo, y una incipiente institucionalización de la participación entendida como herramienta de empoderamiento social.
