ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE POLITICS OF VISION IN A POST-MODERN CONTEXT
Editor: Julian Thomas and Vítor Oliveira Jorge
Date Of Publication: Dec 2008
Isbn13: 978-1-4438-0050-1 - Isbn: 1-4438-0050-3

Archaeology is intimately connected to the modern regime of vision. A concern
with optics was fundamental to the Scientific Revolution, and informed the moral
theories of the Enlightenment. And from its inception, archaeology was concerned
with practices of depiction and classification that were profoundly scopic in
character. Drawing on both the visual arts and the depictive practices of the
sciences, employing conventionalised forms of illustration, photography, and
spatial technologies, archaeology presents a paradigm of visualised knowledge.
However, a number of thinkers from Jean-Paul Sartre onwards have cautioned that
vision presents at once a partial and a politicised way of apprehending the world.

In this volume, authors from archaeology and other disciplines address the
problems that face the study of the past in an era in which realist modes of
representation and the philosophies in which they are grounded in are
increasingly open to question.
