This is my new blog. After much thinking, I have decided to abandon my old blog and keep separated the professional information about me from my personal commentaries on society, archaeology, heritage & more.
The title of this blog is inspired by the title of an old book by the Italian archaeologist A. Carandini which in itself is a quotation from Marx' Grundrisse ("Human anatomy contains a key to the anatomy of the ape"). Besides the fact that I was quite fond of Carandini's book as a student and that I consider precious many of Marx' insights, what matters here is that both use a metaphor which seeks to explain the way the comparison between different kinds human collectivities can help us to enlighten aspects of our own society.
The aim of this blog (as well as of my personal engagement with archaeology and anthropology) is precisely this: trying to highlight the impact of this relationship between different worlds on our lives and the unfolding of dynamics to come.
In this blog you will find thoughts related to what we put under the disciplinary label of archaeology, anthropology, heritage and, of course politics, as such dimension is inescapably connected to all the others.
I hope you will enjoy what you will read, but in case you don't, I would be delighted if you could spend a few moments to express your different point of view in the comments.
