Full Description
This book delves into the political aspects of an archaeology of the contemporary past and provides evidence and an understanding of structural violence, inequalities, and possible ways to contest them in current settings. Using case studies, this volume presents a revision of how different theoretical approaches and archaeological methods (combined or mixed with other disciplinary or undisciplined methods), become tools to inquire on the political in its many facets. The contributions to this volume present different scenarios through which the political is or can be reconstituted, re-defined and scrutinized. Whether it is called dissident archaeology or archaeology of repression and resistance or tackling a wide array of subject such as climate change or consumerism, modern conflict, homelessness, migration, and displacement or others, the volume discusses lines of scrutiny that bring together efforts from distant and yet proximate places in the global south and north. Thus, this book provides material connections that illuminate the political spectrum that frames social conditions of power and resistance, the abuse of the former and the efficiency of the latter. This volume is of interest to archaeologists, heritage specialists, and historians studying the contemporary past.
