Notes

The potential of the public category is discuss in this paper for the study of the relations between archaeology and society. Pursuing this aim, the uses of this concept in Argentine Archaeology is analyzed during the last fifteen years. Within this period, social transformations generated a significant scenario for thinking materials, speeches and archaeological practices around the public category. This context has allowed a greater action capacity for social minorities involved with archaeological materials, but also reformulations over the narratives of the national history. Besides, the "politics of culture" of late 20th century led to the activation of cultural heritage materials and archaeological landscapes for tourism purposes and identity actions. Following this approach, it is worth to make some questions: what meanings are attributed to the public in Argentine Archaeology at the beginning of the 21st century? How these meanings are related to theoretical debates in social sciences? And what political implications are involved with these meanings?
