The present is inevitably haunted by the past. A cluttered past. Order and chaos spill over and onto each other. The past onto the present, and the present onto the past. Academically, this causes many potential problems: Will data saturation force us to reinvent the way we deal with the past? Will the fragility of modern tech create gaps in the knowledge our descendants will have about us? Is linear time a sham? How will we cope with pastness in the inevitable clutter of the Anthropocene? We're just rolling with the punches! But first of all, let us shed some of the historicist paradigms we've grown all too accustomed to. In this episode of high Scandifuturism, archaeologist Stein Farstadvoll (@wasteunearthed)comes on to question the one-track-mind of linearity and explore barbarian ontologies. https://unrulyheritage.com/ Stein Farstadvoll on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Stein-Farstadvoll Some referenced works: - Benjamin, Walter (1940).
