Does non-anthropocentrism necessitate a turn away from marginalized people? This is a crucial question, asked lately by a growing number of archaeologists. Some see a turn toward things as a turn away from people, while others take a more nuanced view. Greer falls into the latter group, exploring this question by highlighting important contributions and corrections from Black Studies. Although the paper is framed as a challenge to posthumanism, I read it as a broad critique of non-anthropocentric approaches; after reflecting on these relationships over the last few years, I no longer draw strong associations between posthumanism and symmetrical archaeology, entanglement theory, or even ANT; for me, posthumanism involves a relatively greater degree of social and political concern than the others.

非人类中心主义是否需要远离边缘化人群？这是一个至关重要的问题，最近越来越多的考古学家提出了这个问题。有些人认为转向事物就是远离人，而另一些人则持更微妙的观点。格里尔属于后一组，通过强调黑人研究的重要贡献和修正来探索这个问题。尽管这篇论文被认为是对后人类主义的挑战，但我将其解读为对非人类中心主义方法的广泛批评；在过去几年对这些关系进行反思之后，我不再将后人类主义与对称考古学、纠缠理论甚至 ANT 联系起来；对我来说，后人类主义比其他主义涉及更大程度的社会和政治关注。
