Daniel Miller, Christopher Tilley

Broschiertes Buch

Ideology, Power and Prehistory

Beschreibung

This book starts from the premise that methodology - the procedures for obtaining an 'objective' knowledge of the past - has always dominated archaeology to the detriment of broader social theory. It argues that social theory is archaeological theory, and that past failure to recognise this has resulted in disembodied archaeological theory and weak disciplinary practice.

Autor

Daniel Miller grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he spent half his life discovering his love of Southern cuisine and sports. Later, Miller, who is a professional journalist, developed a passion for creativity and ideas in writing that led him to write Daddy, what can I do? inspired by his son, who was five years old at the time when Miller first started helping him tap into his imagination.
