Reading the Body Representations and Remains in the Archaeological Record

Reading the Body Representations and Remains in the Archaeological Record
Reading the Body: Representations and Remains in the Archaeological Record By Alison E. Rautman
2000 | 283 Pages | ISBN: 0812235215 | PDF | 9 MB
Classical and anthropological archaeologists share many of the same interests and confront many of the same problems studying extinct cultures. Despite differences in background and training, scholars in these disciplines are all engaged in analyzing and interpreting the archaeological record. Traditionally, however, there have been few opportunities for classical archaeologists and anthropologists to discuss mutually beneficial perspectives in method and theory. The study of gender and its representations affords an opportunity for archaeologists and anthropologists to share information and increase our understanding of how people lived in the past. Reading the Body contains current anthropological and archaeological research about the body and the archaeological record-both physical remains and artistic representations-from sites all over the world ranging in time from the European Upper Paleolithic to the Pueblo societies of the recent past. Essay topics include the reconstruction of the lives of Etruscan women from skeletal remains, gender symbolism in Inuit burials, the erotic clothing of Crete's Minoan culture, and gender identities in Maya ceramic paintings.

Re-imagining International Relations World Orders in the Thought and Practice of Indian, Chinese, and Islamic Civilizat

Re-imagining International Relations World Orders in the Thought and Practice of Indian, Chinese, and Islamic Civilizat
Amitav Acharya, "Re-imagining International Relations: World Orders in the Thought and Practice of Indian, Chinese, and Islamic Civilizat"
English | ISBN: 1316513858 | 2021 | 240 pages | PDF | 897 KB
Buzan and Acharya challenge the discipline of International Relations to reimagine itself in the light of the thinking about, and practice of, international relations and world order from premodern India, China and the Islamic world. This prequel to their 2019 book, The Making of Global International Relations, takes the story back from the two-century tale of modern IR, to reveal the deep global history of the discipline. It shows the multiple origins and meanings of many concepts thought of as only modern and Western. It opens pathways for the rest of the world into this most Eurocentric of disciplines, encouraging them to bring their own histories, concepts and theories with them. The authors have written this book with the hope of inspiring others to extend these pathways by bringing in a wider array of cultures, and exploring how they thought about and acted in worlds composed of multiple, independent, collective actors.
