After Ethics - Ancestral Voices and Post-Disciplinary Worlds in Archaeology (Hardcover, 2015 ed.): Alejandro Haber, Nick... After Ethics - Ancestral Voices and Post-Disciplinary Worlds in Archaeology (Hardcover, 2015 ed.)
Alejandro Haber, Nick Shepherd
R3,515 Discovery Miles 35 150 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

While books on archaeological and anthropological ethics have proliferated in recent years, few attempt to move beyond a conventional discourse on ethics to consider how a discussion of the social and political implications of archaeological practice might be conceptualized differently. The conceptual ideas about ethics posited in this volume make it of interest to readers outside of the discipline; in fact, to anyone interested in contemporary debates around the possibilities and limitations of a discourse on ethics. The authors in this volume set out to do three things. The first is to track the historical development of a discussion around ethics, in tandem with the development and "disciplining" of archaeology. The second is to examine the meanings, consequences and efficacies of a discourse on ethics in contemporary worlds of practice in archaeology. The third is to push beyond the language of ethics to consider other ways of framing a set of concerns around rights, accountabilities and meanings in relation to practitioners, descendent and affected communities, sites, material cultures, the ancestors and so on.

Colonial and Decolonial Linguistics - Knowledges and Epistemes (Hardcover, 1): Ana Deumert, Anne Storch, Nick Shepherd Colonial and Decolonial Linguistics - Knowledges and Epistemes (Hardcover, 1)
Ana Deumert, Anne Storch, Nick Shepherd
R3,184 Discovery Miles 31 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This wide-ranging volume offers a detailed exploration of coloniality in the discipline of linguistics, with case studies drawn from Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean. Colonial meanings and legacies have returned to the forefront of many academic fields in recent years and linguistics, like several other disciplines, has had an ambivalent relationship with its own histories of practice in colonial and postcolonial worlds. The implications of these histories are still felt today, as colonial paradigms of knowledge production continue to shape both academic linguistic practices and non-specialist discussion of language and culture. The chapters in this volume adopt a range of different conceptual frameworks - including postcolonial theory, southern theory, and decolonial thinking - to provide a nuanced account of the coloniality of linguistics at the level of knowledge and disciplinary practice; crucially, the contributors also expand their investigations beyond this ambivalent inheritance to imagine a decolonial linguistics. The volume will be of interest to all linguists looking to critically assess their own practices and to engage with debates at the cutting-edge of their discipline, particularly in the areas of sociolinguistics, field linguistics, typology, and linguistic anthropology, as well as to those outside the discipline engaging with questions of coloniality.

What happens when we approach archaeology from the perspective of an interest in visualities?

Does it make sense to talk about an archaeological aesthetic? What part has a specifically archaeological concern with material cultures, objectified bodies and sites on the landscape played in a local history of looking?

Drawing from the archive of the South African archaeologist John Goodwin (1990-1959), this book interrogates the role of photography in the making of a disciplinary project in archaeology.

La mano del arqueologo - Ensayos 2002-2015 (Spanish, Paperback): Nick Shepherd La mano del arqueologo - Ensayos 2002-2015 (Spanish, Paperback)
Nick Shepherd
R655 Discovery Miles 6 550 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

La disciplina de la arqueologia es producto de dos contextos historicos, la modernidad y el colonialismo. Cada uno deja su marca en la disciplina y cada uno establece las formas de conocimiento que emergen como parte de un proyecto disciplinario. Los ensayos de este volumen exploran esta doble historia de emergencia, desde finales del siglo XIX hasta el presente postcolonial. Abarcan varios temas, desde las implicaciones politicas de la arqueologia africana hasta las historias repudiadas de los cotrabajadores negros y desde las construcciones del patrimonio hasta una politica postcolonial de la memoria y la identidad. Aunque estan centrados en el Africa colonial y postcolonial hablan a los mundos globales de la practica en arqueologia y a los enredos de raza, poder y conocimiento. El argumento de Shepherd, presentado a traves de una serie de convincentes estudios de casos y de hermosas vinetas, es que la colonialidad de la arqueologia existe como una profunda forma de inscripcion en la disciplina.
