[ES] En este artículo defenderemos que existe una relación de escala (fractal) y no de determinación entre los rasgos que presenta una cultura y la forma de ser de las personas de un grupo dado. Se sostendrá que lo que denominamos ¿cambio cultural¿ constituye una transformación de la manera en que las personas se relacionan con el mundo y que entre esas relaciones se incluye de forma significativa la sostenida con los objetos. Se defiende, por tanto, que la etnoarqueología, en tanto que disciplina que aúna intereses tanto de la antropología como de la arqueología (la disciplina de la cultura material) puede contribuir a profundizar en el estudio de la cultura y en el debate actual en el que se debaten las ciencias sociales. Utilizaremos un estudio etnoarqueológico llevado a cabo con los Awá-Guajá (Maranhão, Brasil) para ilustrar estos argumentos.
[EN] In this article we argue that there is a relationship of scale (i.e. fractal) and not of determination between the features that characterize a particular culture and those of the people belonging to that culture. We will argue that what we call “cultural change” is in fact a transformation of the way in which people are related to the world. This includes changes in the manifold relations between people and things. We argue that ethnoarchaeology, as a discipline that joins the concerns of anthropology and archaeology (the discipline of things), can significantly contribute to the study of culture and to recent debates in the social sciences. We will use an ethnoarchaeological study among the Awá-Guajá, a group of hunter-gatherers livin in NW Maranhão State, to prove our points.
