Call for Papers: Archaeology & Brazilian Studies: Past and Present

[Diogo M. Costa]

*Brasiliana: Journal for Brazilian Studies *will publish a dossier (late
2020) focusing on archaeology showcasing scholarship on the history,
development and/or recent expansion of this field in Brazil. With the aim
to communicate with a broad, transdisciplinary academic readership, this
dossier will feature excellent works discussing the contributions of
archaeology to Brazilian studies from various perspectives and
methodologies.

Despite the alleged lack of monumentality in terms of archaeological
heritage in Brazil, the field has experienced an exponential growth over
the last decades. From the pioneering professional practices in the mid
twentieth century – mostly supported by international teams conducting
research and training local human resources –, the field has now
established itself, particularly after the first generation of
archaeologists graduated in Brazil in the 1970s. The current 16
undergraduate and 10 post-graduate degrees as well as the 7 PhD programmes
offered throughout the country attest to the strength of this field of
studies in Brazil today.

Topics of particular interest to this dossier are material culture,
heritage, memory, migration, diaspora, ethnicities, human behaviour,
traditional populations, indigenous people, afro-Brazilians, environment,
landscape, urbanism, conflict, technology, gender, museum, tourism,
mitigation impact, public engagement, political action, revisions of early
works, case studies, theoretical and methodological approaches, but we also
welcome articles related to the broad theme of the dossier.

Texts should be submitted online by *15 Sep 2020* in Portuguese, English or
Spanish
