Post-Structuralism and the Practice of Archaeology

Produktbeschreibung

The writers of this volumes address the problems of archaeology in relation to the difficult task of making (or not making) the connections between the past, interpretation and the present. A great deal of theory seems of little relevance to the everyday practice of archaeology, and much of post-structuralism refers exclusively back to itself rather than to the more specific concerns of a historical discipline. But where the junction between post-structuralism and archaeology can be made, the results are innovative and enriching. Originally published in 1990.
