neorealistic blog archaeology the maya 2012 climate travels and more archaeological haecceities johan normark s neorealistic blog archaeology the maya 2012 climate travels and more about johan normark current research maps for orientation publications travels posted by johan normark april 2 2023 old article in a new publication a few days ago i uploaded an old article on my academica edu site it has been reprinted in a new publication on maritime archaeology this will most likely be my final publication since i have left academic life for good do not expect much more updates on this dormant blog but who knows maybe the new emerging multipolar world opens up new possibilities as the unipolar world collapses along with its supporting ideologies and narratives which i have covered here before but no longer adhere to comments off on old article in a new publication posted in uncategorized posted by johan normark december 8 2022 new article i have not updated this blog for over four years there are plenty of reasons for that however here is an article that has been published this year it was scheduled for publication many years ago based on a conference paper presented nine years ago comments off on new article posted in uncategorized posted by johan normark august 15 2018 settlement topology new article published in an anthology called urban variation comments off on settlement topology posted in archaeological theory archaeology mayanist studies posted by johan normark may 21 2018 annual update sort of i have not written a blog post for almost one year here is a short update of what has happened during that time eventually two conference proceeding articles written years ago seems to be published this year although that has not affected my current work situation it is nice that they finally disappear from in press status before summer i hope to submit two other articles and edit 5 6 other articles that will be submitted in the fall last year we went to indonesia and malaysia again swam with two whale sharks and dozens of turtles in the derawan archipelago east of borneo before that we visited west timor and rote we ended the trip with a few days in kuala lumpur so our son could practice some badminton which has become his main activity i hope next update comes a little sooner comments off on annual update sort of posted in mayanist studies

which is located in the world s largest municipality chongqing in china its main features are the three natural bridges which have been named after dragons the first one you enter as a tourist is actually a double arch sky dragon bridge the arches are between 96 and 116 m in height and they span between 28 and 34 m in width you enter the entire karst system through an elevator that takes you down to the bottom of a gorge then you descend below the sky dragon bridge on one of the walls there is an elephant like formation the gorge sky dragon bridge the elephant you can be carried at the bottom of this first bridge is a set of buildings built in 2006 for the movie curse of the golden flower they are built in tang style modern buildings the lower arch to the right the higher arch to the left in the courtyard not far from these buildings is a statue of a transformer since scenes for transformers 4 was shot here there is another transformer at the entrance of the park as well before the elevator here is one of the scenes filmed at this location there is a small waterfall near this statue a transformer grimlock waterfall the next bridge is called green dragon bridge and after that follows the longest of them black dragon bridge there is a tiny waterfall here by the end of the trail there is a pool of water green dragon bridge green dragon bridge black dragon bridge

final version of my contribution to an anthology in two volumes that soon will be available most of this text was written three four years ago as the proceedings from the symposium urban variation utopia planning and practice my text focus on what i call settlement topology which makes use of deleuze s and delanda s concept of assemblage comments off on settlement topology posted in archaeological theory mayanist studies tags assemblage delanda deleuze maya mexico settlement topology posted by johan normark november 1 2016 objects as subjects yesterday i read an interesting article that pretty much falls into my current trajectory the article is the perfect subject postcolonial object studies by severin fowles since it was published earlier this year in journal of material culture i had missed it since i have strayed away from topics concerning both material and culture for the past decade or so for a while i looked into object oriented ontologies ooo and tried to apply them on archaeological data with various successes however when i attempted to apply it on maya caves i found that i had very little use of ooo other than in a general sense this has pushed me in another direction which does not disqualify the previous position altogether more on that another time however i have become more and more dissatisfied with the speculative turn s tendency to treat objects as oppressed subjects particularly in archaeology fowles s article explains how we have reached this point here is the abstract this article argues that the late 20th century tradition of material culture studies as well as its more recent object oriented offspring emerged as a response to the 1980s crisis of representation and the deeper postcolonial critiques that accompanied this crisis as it became more and more difficult to study and make claims about non western people anthropologists and scholars in related disciplines began to explore the advantages of treating non human objects as quasi human subjects things proved safer to study than people and the popularity of thing theory grew at least in part for this very reason more importantly the analytical shift of focus from people to things had the effect of salvaging and indeed greatly amplifying the representational authority of western scholars at the precise moment when that authority seemed to be evaporating basically then when the west lost its ability to write about non western people however it liked non humans surfaced as surrogate objects of study fowles 2016 25 comments off on objects as subjects

effects on prehispanic and colonial settlement in the yucatan peninsula can now be found here i will probably make it open access in the near future if i get the funds to do that comments off on the

of ontologies i am currently writing a text on descola s ontologies and how they relate to maya cave studies this will be a significant departure from my previous focus on emergence or ontogenesis in this case descola has been described as a neostructuralist but i see no major obstacles in transforming his rigid ontological schema into something processual this text is also one of several articles that create a frame for a new project preliminary entitled the ontogenesis of ontologies in its current state the project will focus on long term changes in settlement and land use in the maya area related to descola s schemas of practice it will also problematize the concepts of resilience and sustainability comments off on the ontogenesis of ontologies posted in archaeological theory

settlement sustainability posted by johan normark june 12 2016 connecting the late cretaceous mass extinction with the maya collapse and the spanish conquest my article the chicxulub impact and its different hydrogeological effects on prehispanic and colonial settlement in the yucatan peninsula has been accepted for publication in wires water here is the abstract the chicxulub impact 66 million years ago and subsequent geological processes have created different hydrogeological regimes in the yucatan peninsula mexico these regimes have affected settlement patterns on local and regional scales this study focuses on the intersection between three of these regimes the buried ejecta within saline intrusion zone the albion formation and the ticul fault zone lake chichancanab is located in the intersection between these zones the prehispanic settlement east of chichancanab in the cochuah region is distributed evenly whereas the colonial period settlement of the same area largely stays within the buried ejecta within saline intrusion zone colonial socioeconomic conditions and the church limited the spanish control of the cochuah region partially because groundwater access became increasingly more important during the colonial period comments off on connecting the late cretaceous mass extinction with the maya collapse and the spanish conquest posted in archaeology

we took a flight from medan to kuala lumpur and headed directly to the city of ipoh north of kl surrounding the town are some impressive chinese buddhist temples inside caves the reason why the flags are at half mast is because the malaysia airlines flight 17 had been shot down in ukraine the day before we entered malaysia after ipoh we spent a few days on pulau pangkor the island was largely
