Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
On the eve of the publication of an important edited volume on Chinese diaspora archaeology, we are already looking toward the next disciplinary horizon. For this session, participants will engage with the conference theme of “revolution” in three major ways. First, we take a critical, reflexive look at the overall state of Chinese diaspora archaeology in terms of its contributions to issues of diversity, rebellion, resistance, survivance, and commemoration, as reflected in the forthcoming edited volume and other recent research. Second, we explore how aspects of revolution, broadly conceived, infuse new and ongoing research through a series of individual case studies that broaden the geographic, methodological, and theoretical scope of our field. Finally, we conclude with a moderated discussion that allows participants and the audience to draw links between the various presentations and weigh in on the direction the field is, or should be, taking.
