Resumen
Se analiza la dinámica que adopta el conocimiento científico del pasado cuando la arqueología trasciende la esfera académica y se acerca al terreno de lo público. En dicho terreno la narrativa científica encuentra un espacio de diálogo en el pensamiento y la palabra de la gente que habita el territorio donde se lleva a cabo la investigación científica. Puntualmente, en la investigación en San Antonio de los Cobres la narrativa local mantiene un vínculo con el presente, donde los objetos arqueológicos evocan un pasado reciente, relatado desde la memoria de la gente y sus vivencias con los parientes conocidos, incluyendo abuelos y abuelas. Esto se diferencia de la narrativa científica, que tiende a generar un relato donde el vínculo entre los acontecimientos del pasado y la actualidad no suele ser considerado. Estas diferencias se hicieron visibles principalmente a través de un taller de arqueología abierto a la comunidad, entre otras instancias de diálogo llevadas a cabo entre los años 2014 y 2020. Asimismo, el actual Museo Regional Andino refleja la presencia de ambas narrativas, tanto en su espacio físico como en su espacio de redes sociales. Planteo que la visibilidad de ambas narrativas favorece un conocimiento más amplio del pasado y de los sujetos activos que las construyen. El trabajo que vincula a la arqueología con el contexto social en el que se inserta su labor, incluyendo instituciones y actores sociales diversos, es indispensable para arribar a dicho conocimiento.
The dynamics that scientific knowledge of the past adopts when archeology transcends the academic sphere and approaches the field of the public is analyzed. In this field, the scientific narrative finds a dialogue space in the thoughts and words of the people who inhabit the territory where scientific research is carried out. Specifically, in the research in San Antonio de los Cobres, work experiences reflect a narrative that is connected to the present, and where archaeological objects also evoke a recent past, told from the memory of the people and their link with known relatives, including grandparents and grandmothers. This differs from the scientific narrative, which tends to generate a story where the events of the past use to have no link to the present. These differences were made visible mainly through an archeology workshop open to the community, among other instances of dialogue held between 2014 and 2020. Likewise, the current Museo Regional Andino reflects the presence of both narratives, both in its physical space and in social media space. I propose that the visibility of both narratives favors a full knowledge of the past. The work that links archeology with the social context in which its work is inserted, including various institutions and social actors, is necessary to achieve such knowledge.
