          Abstract

          In this article, I review the various forms of political commitment in the field of archaeology in South America over recent decades using three cases: one from Argentina and two from Colombia. The several types of political engagements that can be categorized involve multiple levels of work, from the use of archaeological excavation in projects with indigenous peoples to the rejection of the application of archaeology within the purposes of the indigenous social movement; in between those two options, we distinguish practices such as multiculturalism and its reification of culture. At this level, past, heritage, and history become merchandise for cultural markets.

          Resume

          Dans cet article, je procède à une étude des différentes formes d'engagement politique dans l'archéologie en Amérique Latine au cours des récentes décennies. Je m'appuis sur trois études de cas, l'une issue d'Argentine et les deux autres de Colombie. Les types multiples d'engagement politique pouvant être relevés impliquent des niveaux variés de travaux qui incluent le recours à des fouilles archéologiques dans le cadre de projets avec des populations indigènes, et pouvant aller jusqu'au rejet de l'application de l'archéologie au sein des finalités du mouvement social indigène. Nous avons pu distinguer entre les deux des pratiques telles que le multiculturalisme et sa réification de la culture. À ce niveau, le passé, le patrimoine et l'histoire deviennent des marchandises pour les marchés culturels.

          Resumen

          En este artículo, analizo las diversas formas de compromiso político en arqueología en América del Sur en las últimas décadas utilizando tres casos: uno de Argentina y dos de Colombia. Los diversos tipos de compromiso político que se pueden registrar abarcan múltiples niveles de trabajo, desde el uso de la excavación arqueológica en proyectos con pueblos indígenas hasta el rechazo a la aplicación de la arqueología dentro de los propósitos del movimiento social indígena. En el punto intermedio, podríamos distinguir prácticas como el multiculturalismo y su reificación de la cultura. En este nivel, el pasado, el patrimonio y la historia se convierten en mercancías para los mercados culturales.
