Ethnographies and Archaeologies : Iterations of the Past Hardback
Edited by Lena Mortensen, Julie Hollowell
Part of the Cultural Heritage Studies series
Hardback
Description
Ethnographies and Archaeologies explores the many different ways that the archaeological past is used to create meaning in the present.
Under the guidance of editors Lena Mortensen and Julie Hollowell, the contributors seek to de-center or reposition the role of archaeologists and archaeological practice in constructing the past.
A major focus of the volume is to examine how the past is mediated by social engagements in the present and the consequences of those encounters.
It is positioned at the forefront of a growing trend to explore the intersection of archaeology and cultural anthropology.
Broadly arguing for the application of ethnography to the dialogue on archaeological heritage, the book considers how concepts of nationalism, identity politics, and cultural production affect how the past is shaped by archaeology.
