Beschreibung
Drawing on social theory and offering numerous case studies,Archaeologies of Materiality is one of the first books toexplore materiality across time and space. * * Demonstrates the saliency of materiality by linking it toconcepts of landscape, technology, embodiment, ritual, andheritage. * Offers archaeological case studies ranging from prehistoric tocontemporary contexts, from Neo-Assyria, South Africa, Argentina,Panama, and the United States. * Explores the idea of a material universe that is sociallyconceived and constructed, but that also shapes human experience indaily practice.
Rezensionen
Webb Keane, University of Michigan
"This fascinating and path-breaking volume addresses the mostprofound conceptual problems raised by the sheer materiality ofthings. It opens up important new conversations amongarchaeologists, socio-cultural anthropologists, and socialtheorists of all sorts."

"This volume forces us to bring into focus our supposedlytransparent 'materialism' and recognize that the'things' we use to 'know a people' eludeour classic taxonomies and trouble our social theoreticalcategories. Calling into question a simple dichotomy of objects as'purely functional or deeply symbolic' this volumehelps us understand how 'materiality is problematic not onlyfor our classical versions of material determinism but equally formany of our 'new' and 'post' theories ofsignification."
