The Archaeology of Contextual Meanings
ISBN: 9780521106405 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This companion volume to Archaeology as Long-term History focuses on the symbolism of artefacts. It seeks at once to refine the theory and method relating to interpretation and show, with examples, how to conduct this sort of archaeological work. Some contributors work with the material culture of modern times or the historic period, areas in which the symbolism of mute artefacts has traditionally been thought most accessible. However, the book also contains a good number of applications in prehistory to demonstrate the feasibility of symbolic interpretation where good contextual data survive...

In China's Image: Chinese Self-Perception in Western Thought
ISBN: 9780333917954 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book questions our perceptions of China. It is argued that what is commonly understood to be 'China' is, in large part, a collage of images. These images - created and manipulated by individuals and groups within the boundaries of the Chinese state in order to pursue their own social, economic and political ambitions - have been accepted, elaborated upon, strengthened and made legitimate by European and American social scientists and by other professional commentators on China. If shaped or strongly conditioned by these images, policies towards China are likely to prove either...

Reading the Past: Current Approaches to Interpretation in Archaeology
ISBN: 9780521528849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The third edition of this classic introduction to archaeological theory and method has been fully updated to address the rapid development of theoretical debate throughout the discipline.

The Domestication of Europe
ISBN: 9780631177692 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Neolithic saw the spread of the first farmers, and the formation of settled villages throughout Europe. Traditional archaeology has interpreted these changes in terms of population growth, economic pressures and social competition, but in "The Domestication of Europe" Ian Hodder works from a new, controversial theory focusing instead on the enormous expansion of symbolic evidence from the homes, settlements and burials of the period. Why do the figurines, decorated pottery, elaborate houses and burial rituals appear and what is their significance? The author argues that the symbolism...

Religion in the Emergence of Civilization: Çatalhöyük as a Case Study
ISBN: 9780521150194 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey, Catalhoyuk was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of...

Violence and the Sacred in the Ancient Near East: Girardian Conversations at Çatalhöyük
ISBN: 9781108476027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume brings together two groups engaged with understanding the relationships between religion and violence. The first group consists of scholars of the mimetic theory of Rene Girard, for whom human violence is rooted in the rivalry that stems from imitation. To manage this violence of all against all, humans often turn to violence against one, the scapegoat, thereafter incorporated into ritual. The second group consists of archaeologists working at the Neolithic sites of Catalhoeyuk and Goebekli Tepe in Turkey. At both sites there is evidence of religious practices that center on wild...

Turning the Tables: How the Third World Overthrew the West
ISBN: 9781680537239 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The baby boomers tracked the beginning of this great historical arc, their children are watching it accelerate, and their grandchildren may witness its completion. The rise of the Third World is rooted in social transfers, welfare, and redistribution of wealth in the name of justice. The failing heart of the West is the market. Why do many Third World countries seem to understand and accept this truth? Why does the West only give the nod to it...
