Fallowed heritage. The past and presents of the State Agricultural Farms in Poland
The paper offers the first regular exploration of Poland’s State Agricultural Farms (pol. Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne, hereafter PGR) within critical heritage studies. Despite a growing interest in socialist heritage, current heritagization efforts prioritise artistic values and elite narratives, leaving rural and agricultural landscapes, such as PGRs, marginalised. By presenting an attempt at typology of contemporary PGRs – museum-adapted, repu…

Weak Artefacts, Fierce Resistance
This paper discusses the musealised material remains of the All-Poland Women’s Strike, an activity that mobilised around 430,000 protestors against a new restrictive abortion law introduced by the Polish government in 2020. These remains, comprising banners and posters made of cardboard and paper bearing images and slogans, can be understood as “weak artefacts”: ephemeral, flammable, easily damaged, but also resilient and persistent. Following fe…
Heritage of empty spaces. The case of the tomb of the unknown soldier in Warsaw
The study focuses on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Marshall Józef Piłsudski Square in Warsaw and its future in light of the planned reconstruction of the Saxon Palace. By examining the existing memorial – the last World War II ruin in Warsaw and the only remaining part of the former palace – this study conceptualises the heritage value of emptiness. Engaging with ongoing discussions on heritage values within critical heritage studies, it emp…
Convivial Heritage
This paper explores the utility of conviviality thinking for archaeological theory and practice. It first situates calls for convivial analysis as a response to the excesses of late capitalism and the existential challenges of the global Anthropocene polycrisis. The paper then highlights the critical, ethical and interpretive potentials of the concept to re-think human-animal coexistence, to frame new approaches to ecological conservation and to …
Lost in Details
In 2019 I claimed that archaeology suffers from 'digital escapism', a term that can denote two different phenomena.The first is the dismissal of artefacts as subjects of scientific interest and a shift in focus to digital methods as subjects of studies.The second is the use of big data in archaeology and the attempt to make the discipline more scientific (Stobiecka 2019).While the first understanding of digital escapism refers mainly to the proli…

Critical Public Archaeology
Critical approaches to public archaeology have been in use since the 1980s, however only recently have archaeologists begun using critical theory in conjunction with public archaeology to challenge dominant narratives of the past. This volume brings together current work on the theory and practice of critical public archaeology from Europe and the United States to illustrate the ways that implementing critical approaches can introduce new underst…

Lively Heritage
This paper is an attempt to discuss the concept of lively heritage, based on examples of accidental encounters with animals at archaeological sites. The starting point of this study is criticism of the “sterilisation” or “sanitisation” of archaeological sites. Its theoretical discourse on sterilisation of the past begins with a brief reference to contemporary photography (Alfred Seiland’s “Imperium Romanum” series), which is contrasted with the i…
Material records of the Anthropocene
This paper discusses new types of naturecultural heritage that have emerged during the Anthropocene. The authors trace and analyze novel records of the ongoing geological event and propose a method of surface-oriented ethnography to investigate heritage in the Anthropocene. We argue that rethinking history in the Anthropocene means to think through new forms of heritage that emerge in the course of ecological processes of decomposition, decay and…
Archaeological Theory
W obronie autonomii historii w muzeum
W artykule są poddane dyskusji zjawiska dokonujące się wewnątrz historiografii, jak i te które widoczne są w jej otoczeniu. Można do nich zaliczyć komercjalizację, „gadżetyzację” i techno-entuzjazm. W tym pierwszym przypadku historia staje się towarem, konkurującym na rynku z innymi dobrami. W drugim, traktuje się historię jak swoistą zabawę, co prowadzi do uprzedmiotowienia i banalizacji historycznego doświadczenia. Wreszcie techno-entuzjazm to …
Farewell to Tradition? Presenting Archaeology after the Digital Turn
OVERVIEW The last 20 years mark a period of transformation from a traditional model of displaying archaeology to a more immersive model supported by digital and virtual media. The traditional model has generally used glass cases accompanied by extensive texts to inform visitors, whereas the immersive model employs digital media, tablets, virtual reality, and augmented reality to attract and engage a wide audience. In light of the recent enthusias…
Violent care’? A response to Lynn Meskell and Trinidad Rico
reconstructed parts of the site, while Antoine Poidebard, an early exponent of aerial archaeology, mapped the desert landscape from above. Technocratic programmes like those outlined above reinforce a sense of superiority for Westerners in cultural and technical matters. Bell (2015, xiii) described such interventions as 'vast schemes for the government of the universe'. However, as history reminds us, those claiming to bring knowledge and civiliz…
Towards a Prosthetic Archaeology
Prosthetic archaeology is a theoretical proposal for a materially oriented digital practice. It is based on a critical approach to implementing the latest technologies in archaeology. Drawing from the philosophy of technology and prosthetic studies, this project offers a more critical and meaningful understanding of digital methods in archaeology. The main interpretative figure is the verb “to prostheticize.” Thus, prosthetic archaeology is not s…
Archaeological heritage in the age of digital colonialism
Digital archaeologists claim that their practices have proven to be an important tool for mediating conflict, ensuring that the digital turn in archaeology entails engaging in current political issues. This can be questioned by analysing a copy of the Syrian Arch of Triumph. The original was destroyed in 2015. A year later, a copy was carved out of Egyptian marble; the replica was constructed thanks to digital documentation, which allowed archaeo…
Digital Escapism
In contemporary archaeology, we can identify a clash of two apparently antagonistic "paradigms": the "(re)turn to things" and the "digital turn". The latter has had great impact on archaeological museums, traditionally focused on material objects, and in this article I analyse this in terms of a phenomenon that I call "digital escapism". Digital escapism embraces ontological and epistemological questions that stem from the digital turn in archaeo…
Witalność ruin w dobie antropocenu
The life among ruins is a well-known motif in the Polish urban, architectural and historical studies. The ruination, as a leit-motif, reappears now in a different setting -it is anymore connected solely to traditional heritage studies, but it stands as a real threat and challenge resulting from the Anthropocene condition. In this paper, the idea is to discuss the phenomenon of an intensified ruination as a sign of our, Anthropocene time, and furt…

Weak Artefacts, Fierce Resistance
This paper discusses the musealised material remains of the All-Poland Women’s Strike, an activity that mobilised around 430,000 protestors against a new restrictive abortion law introduced by the Polish government in 2020. These remains, comprising banners and posters made of cardboard and paper bearing images and slogans, can be understood as “weak artefacts”: ephemeral, flammable, easily damaged, but also resilient and persistent.
