When talking about monuments, size undeniably matters - or does it?
But how else can we measure monumentality? Bringing together
researchers from various fields such as archaeology, museology,
history, sociology, Mesoamerican studies, and art history, this
book discusses terminological and methodological approaches in both
theoretical contributions and various case studies. While focusing
on architectural aspects, this volume also discusses the social
meaning of monuments, the role of forced and free labour, as well
as textual monumentality. The result is a modern interdisciplinary
take on an important concept which is notoriously difficult to
define.
