Abstract [en]

This article aims to address the impacts of rubber via historical and contemporary archaeology of the Amazon. Through an “archaeology of rubber” a notion of modernity is examined here. From the creation of rubber gloves to snow boots and tires, rubber has allowed humans to expand their interactions with the environment. As these interactions expanded, the consolidation of the Industrial Revolution and Occidentalism entangled actors in a complex web of meanings, becomings and agencies in opposition to local knowledge. Through a plural and multispecies approach, this article places the study of rubber’s materiality in the field of the archaeology of capitalism and modernity. Also, through oral history, deep archival research and public archaeology, local ontologies and materialities offer contemporary archaeology a more elastic view, aimed at widening perceptions of a global story.

Abstract [pt]

Esse artigo tem como objetivo abordar os impactos da borracha sobre a arqueologia histórica e contemporânea na Amazônia. Através de uma “arqueologia da borracha” aqui é escavada uma noção de modernidade. Desde a criação das luvas de borracha, as botas para neve aos pneus, a borracha permitiu ao ser humano expandir suas interações com o meio ambiente. À medida que essas interações foram se expandindo, a consolidação da revolução industrial e do ocidentalismo emaranhou atores e uma complexa teia de significados, devires e agências em oposição ao conhecimento local. Por meio de uma abordagem plural e multiespecífica, este artigo situa o estudo da materialidade da borracha no campo da arqueologia do capitalismo e da modernidade. E ainda, por meio da história oral, da densa pesquisa em arquivo e da arqueologia pública, as ontologias e materialidades locais oferecem à arqueologia contemporânea uma visão mais elástica, voltada para suas percepções de uma história global.
