Injury and Trauma in Bioarchaeology: Interpreting Violence in Past Lives de Rebecca C. Redfern

Injury and Trauma in Bioarchaeology: Interpreting Violence in Past Lives

Autor Rebecca C. Redfern
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2020
The remains of past people are a testament to their lived experiences and of the environment in which they lived. Synthesising the latest research, this book critically examines the sources of evidence used to understand and interpret violence in bioarchaeology, exploring the significant light such evidence can shed on past hierarchies, gender roles and life courses. The text draws on a diverse range of social and clinical science research to investigate violence and trauma in the archaeological record, focussing on human remains. It examines injury patterns in different groups as well as the biological, psychological and cultural factors that make us behave violently, how our living environment influences injury and violence, the models used to identify and interpret violence in the past, and how violence is used as a social tool. Drawing on a range of case studies, Redfern explores new research directions that will contribute to nuanced interpretations of past lives.

Recenzii

'With Injury and Trauma in Bioarchaeology Redfern skilfully illustrates the potential of a truly bio-cultural approach to the skeletal record. Her interdisciplinary analysis, elegantly integrating knowledge and insights from medicine, social science and ecology, conveys the evolution and diversity of interpersonal violence on a global scale. Rich in exemplary case studies and illustrations, the volume takes us beyond the 'when', 'where' and 'how' to a genuine appreciation of the varied experience of past violence and its impact on the individual, those close to them and society as a whole. This insight into past lives is instructive and affecting in equal measure, setting a new benchmark for violence studies.' Linda Fibiger, University of Edinburgh
'This comprehensive, rigorous, and theoretically informed volume is a significant contribution to the social and forensic sciences. It is a 'must read' for scholars across these and other fields.' Jane Buikstra, Arizona State University, Tempe
'… much has been written on this subject matter in a variety of outlets, but nothing close to what we find here. It is a monumental approach to understanding the past experience of trauma in people from the stories they can tell us through the lens of their remains (the primary archaeological evidence for people). It melds together a clinical perspective that includes medical anthropological research, with an archaeological and historical contextual approach. By helping us to understand the experience of trauma in past peoples, embracing a multi-method and multidisciplinary approach, it also sheds light on the 'here and now' from a deep time point of view; was it always like this? Increasingly, bioarchaeology is showing its 'worth' through publications such as this, a trend that our discipline should embrace and develop.' Charlotte Roberts, Durham University
'… it is difficult to convey the sheer multiplicity of themes covered in this book, clearly illustrated by numerous case studies and accompanied by an impressive bibliography. It will most certainly find a very favourable audience not only among specialists in this area, but also among social anthropologists, archaeologists and historians.' Philippe Lefranc, Human Remains and Violence
'Elegantly written and immensely interesting, this book may be of interest to readers from a wide range of disciplines, including social scientists, sociologists, bioarchaeologists, medical anthropologists, forensic scientists, psychologists and historians.' Sue Howarth, The Biologist
