Produktbeschreibung
This study seeks to understand the relationship between digital ontology and archaeology through a combination of computer sciences and anthropological approaches. Through such concepts as philosophical engineering and eccentric positionality, this study presents the digital realm as a tripartite system, with a reappraisal of the digital characteristics we take for granted in the modern age, particularly in relation to our own senses, which has consequences for how we see the totality of the universe around us. This is fed back into archaeological case studies to demonstrate the radical nature of the digital and how positive feedback loops make the digital so unique in relation to our current reality, and how we should come to understand the digital for future studies.
