{"product_id":"9789088905209","title":"European Archaeology: Identities \u0026 Migrations : Archeologie europeenne: Identites \u0026 Migrations by Laurence Manolakakis","description":"As it appears in diverse guises - and notably as a founding narrative - the past is at the core of every functioning human society. The idea that the past can be known through scientific research has long been a fundamental challenge for western societies and for European researchers, from all disciplines concerned.   Through more than four decades of outward-looking archaeological practice, the scholar, teacher and intellectual Jean-Paul Demoule has elaborated a truly global approach to European cultures and their transformations, spanning from the social inequality in Neolithic times to Indo European research to contemporary links between heritage and politics. His colleagues - British, Bulgarians, Czechs, Danes, Dutch, French, Germans, North-Americans, Spaniards, Swiss and Russians - seek to extend and enrich his vision. With contributions (written in French and in English) spanning from prehistory to the modern world, they bring in this volume new insights and data to such issues as the processes of identity construction at different scales, migratory movements in Europe, the status of gender, the role of prestige objects and megalithic monuments in the emergence of social hierarchy and in the semiology of power. without forgetting the myths and realities surrounding the Indo-European phenomenon.   -Le pass? sous diverses formes - et notamment celle d'un r?cit fondateur - est au cour du fonctionnement de toute soci?t? humaine. L'id?e que le pass? puisse ?tre connaissable par une recherche scientifique est un enjeu essentiel, particuli?rement abord? par les soci?t?s occidentales et notamment par des chercheurs europ?ens, toutes disciplines confondues.   Par sa pratique de l'arch?ologie et son ?rudition, le chercheur et le professeur Jean-Paul Demoule a su ?laborer un tableau global des cultures europ?ennes et de leurs transformations, incluant autant les origines n?olithiques des in?galit?s sociales que l'?mergence du mythe indo-europ?en ou encore les rapports entre patrimoine et politique. Dans cet ouvrage, ses coll?gues allemands, britanniques, bulgares, danois, espagnols, fran?ais, n?erlandais, nord-am?ricains, russes, suisses et tch?ques prolongent et enrichissent - en anglais ou en fran?ais - sa vision. Ils y apportent leurs r?flexions et leurs donn?es concernant les perspectives de l'arch?ologie du XXIe si?cle, les processus de la construction identitaire ? diff?rentes ?chelles, les mouvements migratoires de l'Europe, le statut du genre, le r?le des objets de prestige et des monuments m?galithiques dans l'?mergence de la hi?rarchisation sociale et de la s?miologie du pouvoir. sans oublier la mythologie et les r?alit?s du ph?nom?ne indo-europ?en.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311214342517,"sku":"9789088905209","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9789088905209.jpg?v=1762816918","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9789088905209","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
