(Re)vendo a construção da Paisagem na Arqueologia: Antropoceno e Visualidade Maquínica

Abstract

Since its initial formulation, the idea of the Anthropocene stressed the irreversible imprint of the human on Earth. The imminent collapse of nature made thinking about the Landscape an self-reflexive exercise about Humanity’s ethos on Earth. In this way, the Anthropocene, for being (also) a symptom of planetary technics, has as one of its by-products machine vision technologies. Archaeology, as a practice and a way of thinking about the Earth and the Human, is impregnated with an inescapable Anthropocenic condition. We will argue that in this relationship between archaeology and machine vision a new idea of landscape emerges, where the pervasiveness of the Anthropocene in all spheres of the Human will again be demonstrated.
