Agency, Micro-History and Built Environment examines how people
have been making, using and transforming buildings and built
environments in general, and how the buildings have been perceived.
It also considers a diversity of built constructions – including
dwellings and public buildings, sheds and manor houses, secular and
sacral structures. Comparisons between different regions and parts
of the globe, important when addressing buildings from a social
perspective, are presented with studies from the UK, the
Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Mexico. The chronological
framework spans from the classical Byzantine period, over the
Middle Ages and the Early Modern period and ends in 20th century
Belfast.
Abstract collection of the Workshop: "Architecture, Archaeology and
City Planning" Organized by Dipartimento di Architettura, Firenze,
Department of Historical Study, Goteborg, Museum Of London
Archaeology (MOLA). 16-18th June 2014, Florence
Sixteen papers designed to reflect the work of the project
Emergence and Growth of Centres: A Case Study in the Santa Maria
Valley . This volume focuses on the actual field data rather than
presenting a theoretical discussion and includes reports on the
architectural and structural remains, the cemeteries and human
remains, ceramics and the impact of the project on the present-day
village. Eight English papers and eight Spanish papers.
This collection of texts is a first step towards providing a
theoretical and methodological platform for the study of social
encounters. The social encounter is a particular sort of concept,
focusing on confusion, tension, trauma, and possibly social change
that may emerge in situations of contact when people and things
interact. A social encounter is, however, not only about
negotiation or contemplating existence, but is rather about what
happens when people interact actively, when they involve themselves
with people and materialities, when they move around, fetch things,
use things, leave things etc. The repeated social encounter is
often a confrontation with something, such as an opinion, a
performance, or with materialities and the effects are often
unpredictable. Encounters may reproduce a social pattern, but also
contain potential for transformation and change. Such varied
responses to encounters will certainly have effects on the
archaeological record. The primary focus of the volume is the
effects and processes involved in intra- and inter-societal
encounters. The collection hence fills a theoretical and
methodological gap in the study of the encounter in archaeology.
There is a need for elaborating aspects of postcolonial theory in
order to develop new ways of approaching the archaeological record.
The articles of this volume include examples from various regions
and time periods. They range from Scandinavian Stone Age, through
Buddhist social practices of the first millennium AD, Maya warfare
and ideology, to Aboriginal-European encounters in 20th century
Australia. Per Cornell (PhD, Ass. Prof.) is currently lecturer at
the Department of archaeology, University of Gothenburg. Cornell
has been involved in extensive field-work in Latin America and
current research topics include settlement archaeology, formation
processes and social theory. Among his recent books are Local,
Regional, Global, co-edited with Per Stenborg (Gotarc, 2004).
