Archaeology and State Theory: Subjects and Objects of Power: Debates in Archaeology

Autor Bruce Routledge
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mai 2015
After neo-evolutionism, how does one talk about the pre-modern state? Over the past two decades archaeological research has shifted decisively from check-list identifications of the state as an evolutionary type to studies of how power and authority were constituted in specific polities. Developing Gramsci's concept of hegemony, this book provides an accessible discussion of general principles that serve to help us understand and organise these new directions in archaeological research. Throughout this book, conceptual issues are illustrated by means of case studies drawn from Madagascar, Mesopotamia, the Inca, the Maya and Greece.

Recenzii

It is a book rich in theoretical insights, supported via empirical case studies. The book represents a welcome addition to the bibliography ... It is a must-read for all readers interested in state-formation.
With this volume, Bruce Routledge has given archaeologists one of the most important works yet published on political archaeology . More successfully than any other author I know, Routledge confronts archaeology's state theory bugbear and promotes a coherent blueprint for future studies of early complex polities that promises to be seminal . Routlege expresses the hope that his work, though imperfect, will open the door to a better political archaeology . Routledge has indeed opened this door and that Archaeology and State Theory will become a foundational text for future archaeological approaches to complex polities.

Descriere

Over the years archaeological research has shifted decisively from check-list identifications of the state as an evolutionary type to studies of how power and authority were constituted in specific polities. This book illustrates conceptual issues by means of case studies drawn from Madagascar, Mesopotamia, the Inca, the Maya, Egypt and Greece.
