Abstract

« La forme moderne du fantastique, c'est l'archéologie ! Catalin Pavel est archéologue de l'amour. Il nous explique – avec science et poésie, car chez lui les deux vont de pair –, en déchiffrant les codes génétiques, les squelettes, les textes, des restes minuscules ou des monuments, comment les hommes ont aimé à travers le temps et l'espace. Com-ment nous aimons. Comment nous aimons aimer. Un livre qui ne tient rien pour acquis, follement rassurant… » Barbara Cassin Tant qu'ils s'aiment, les couples se détachent, dit-on, du monde banal ; ils en font de même quand ils meurent, sans aucun doute cette fois. Que se passe-t-il lorsque l'observateur examine sous sa loupe archéologique ce cen-tième de vie, ce millième d'amour ? Questionner le rap-port amoureux à travers les fouilles archéologiques, c'est le cœur de ce livre

Abstract

"Social Complexity and Complex Systems in Archaeology turns to complex systems thinking in search of a suitable framework to explore social complexity in Archaeology. Social complexity in archaeology is commonly related to properties of complex societies such as states, as opposed to so-called "simple" societies such as tribes or chiefdoms. These conceptualisations of complexity are ultimately rooted in colonial and Eurocentric perspectives with problematic implications for the field of archaeology. This book provides an in-depth conceptualisation of social complexity as the core concept in archaeological and interdisciplinary studies of the past, integrating approaches from complex systems thinking, archaeological theory, social practice theory, and sustainability and resilience science. The book covers a long-term perspective of social change and stability, tracing the full cycle of complexity trajectories, from emergence and development to collapse, regeneration and transformation of communities and societies. It offers a broad vision on social complexity as a core concept for the present and future development of archaeology. The book is intended to be a valuable resource for students and scholars in the field of archaeology and related disciplines such as history, anthropology, sociology, as well as the natural sciences studying human-environment interactions in the past"

Abstract

"Change and Archaeology explores how archaeologists have historically described, interpreted, and explained change and argues that change has been under-theorised. The study of change is central to the discipline of archaeology but change is complex and this makes it challenging to write about in nuanced ways that effectively capture the nature of our world. Relational approaches offer archaeologists more scope to explore change in complex and subtle ways. Change and Archaeology presents a posthumanist, post-anthropocentric, new materialist approach to change. It argues that our world is constantly in the process of becoming and always on the move. By recasting change as the norm rather than the exception and distributing it between both humans and non-humans this book offers a new theoretical framework for exploring change in the past that allows us to move beyond block-time approaches where change is located only in transitional moments and periods are characterised by blocks of stasis. Archaeologists, scholars, anthropologists and historians interested in the theoretical frameworks we use to interpret the past will find this book a fascinating new insight into the way our world changes and evolves. The approaches presented within will be of use to anyone studying and writing about the way societies and their environs move through time"--

Abstract

"Syria-Palestine in the Late Bronze Age presents an explicitly anthropological perspective on politics and social relationships. An anthropological reading of the textual and epigraphic remains of the time allows us to see how power was constructed and political subordination was practised and expressed. Syria-Palestine in the Late Bronze Age identifies a particular political ontology, native to ancient Syro-Palestinian societies, which informs and constitutes their social worlds. This political ontology, based on patronage relationships, provides a way of understanding the political culture and the social dynamics of ancient Levantine peoples. It also illuminates the historical processes taking place in the region, processes based on patrimonial social structures and articulated through patron-client bonds"--Provided by publisher.
