CFP: Archäologien des Kolonialismus: Vergangenheit und Gegenwart – Madrid, 06/2025

17. Workshop für Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und Nachwuchswissenschaftler. Aus dem Ankündigungstext der Veranstalter:  „Phoenicization, Hellenization, Romanization, Romaness, Globalization, Glocalization, Hybridization, Creolization, Discrepant Identities are all terms relevant to the debates surrounding Colonization(s) in the ancient world. The Workshop invites PhD candidates in archaeology, history, art history or classics to submit papers that critically explore the complex intersections of colonization, colonialism and archaeological practice. This call seeks to foster a nuanced discussion on how discourses pertaining to colonial structures, encounters, and power dynamics have shaped both past societies and the discipline of archaeology itself. Particular attention will be given to the ways in which colonialism is identified and conceptualized, the transformations it has imposed on landscapes and territories, and the structures that have sustained it over time. 
Contributions should engage with the archaeology of colonial encounters, considering both the perspectives of colonizers and the colonized, and addressing the material, social, and political consequences of these interactions. Papers that address structures of colonization are welcome, as well as contributions exploring the ideological underpinnings of colonialism (ancient and modern). The concept of power in colonial contexts, including its manifestations, negotiations, and enduring legacies, is of central relevance to this discussion. Moreover, we encourage contributions that critically assess the archaeological record as a means of studying modern colonialization and its implications. Another key theme concerns the role of archaeological methodologies in examining and interpreting colonial pasts and presents—both as tools of decolonization and as legacies of colonial epistemologies.“
