Against capitalism: an unfinished archaeological manifesto
Against capitalism: an unfinished archaeological manifesto

Summary/Abstract: This text is a manifesto for a critical study of the material dimension of capitalism (i.e. neo-liberalism) in Romania, in all its aspects: pro-capitalist types of discourse; restructuring of the discipline in accordance with the values of contemporary capitalist ideology; the material culture of everyday life, public space and economic projects in the capitalist society; the material dimension of legitimation and promotion of capitalist ideology; the material apparatus of the military system mobilized to defend and export capitalism in Eastern Europe; etc. We argue that, conceived this way, archaeology needs to become a form of resistance to and action against capitalist ideology.
