This important book addresses critical themes in the development of
archaeology as a reflexive, self-critical discipline in the modern
world. It explores the ethical, political and cultural tensions and
responsibilities which need to be addressed by archaeologists when
working within networks of global ecologies and communities,
examining how authoritarian traditions can exacerbate the divide
between expert and public knowledge. Moreover, it analyses how
localized acts of archaeology relate to changing conceptions of
risk, heritage, culture, identity, and conflict. Bringing insights
from Alain Schnapp, Michael Shanks, Isabelle Stengers, Bruno
Latour, Ulrich Beck, John Urry and others to cross-disciplinary
discussions of these themes, Unquiet Pasts shows how archaeological
discourse can contribute towards engaging and understanding current
dilemmas. It also shows how archaeology, as a localized and
responsibly exercised practice, can play a part in building our
commonly shared and experienced world.
