DESCRIPTION:Jerry D. Moore will give a Brown Bag Lunch presentation\non Mon
 day\, September 18\, at 12:15 pm. His talk is entitled “Making Andean Hous
 es:\nMaterials\, Affordances\, and Possibilities in Vernacular Architectur
 e.”Since the 1960s archaeological approaches to vernacular\narchitecture h
 ave emphasized the connections between house and household. The\n‘house’ w
 as a pivotal analytical nexus in those efforts\, and the development of\nh
 ousehold archaeology became and remains a robust\, global field of\narchae
 ological investigation. But in some instances\, the ‘house’ has been lost
 \nin the study of household archaeology. In part this is due to what Tim I
 ngold\nhas called the\nadoption of the “hylomorphic model of creation” in 
 social science and\nhumanities fields that proposes “form” and “matter” ar
 e essential compounds to\nmaking. Interpretations of the hylomorphic model
  of creation have led to an\nunbalanced relationships with “Form being imp
 osed upon the material world… by\nan agent with a particular end or goal i
 n mind .. while matter .. [is]\n–rendered passive and inert” (Ingold 2010:
  91). This perspective limits\nunderstanding of making. In this talk Moore
  considers Ingold’s argument that\nthis model is more profitably replaced 
 by “an ontology that assigns primacy to\nprocesses of formation as against
  their final products.” This perspective on\nmaking is particularly german
 e to thinking about vernacular architecture and\nthe processes of formatio
 n\, directly relevant for understanding domestic architecture\nof Andean h
 ouses.Dr.\nJerry D. Moore is Professor of Anthropology at California State
  University\,\nDominguez Hills. His archaeological research has been suppo
 rted by NSF\, NEH\,\nthe National Geographic Society\, and other foundatio
