Description: Further DetailsTitle: Contested AntiquityCondition: NewDescription: While the archaeological legacies of Greece and Cyprus are often considered to represent some of the highest values of Western civilization—democracy, progress, aesthetic harmony, and rationalism—this much adored and heavily touristed heritage can quickly become the stage for clashes over identity and memory. In Contested Antiquity, Esther Solomon curates explorations of how those who safeguard cultural heritage are confronted with the best ways to represent this heritage responsibly. How should visitors be introduced to an ancient Byzantine fortification that still holds the grim reminders of the cruel prison it was used as until the 1980s? How can foreign archaeological institutes engage with another nation's heritage in a meaningful way? What role do locals have in determining what is sacred, and can this sense of the sacred extend beyond buildings to the surrounding land? Together, the essays featured in Contested Antiquity offer fresh insights into the ways ancient heritage is negotiated for modern times.Author: Esther SolomonContributor: Marlen Mouliou (Contributions by), Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert (Contributions by), Styliana Galiniki (Contributions by), Andromache Gazi (Contributions by), Esther Solomon (Edited by), Alexandra Bounia (Contributions by), Paulina Nikolaou (Contributions by), Katerina Konstantinou (Contributions by), Dimitris Plantzos (Contributions by), Aris Anagnostopoulos (Contributions by), Elpida Rikou (Contributions by), Ioanna Antoniadou (Contributions by), Eleana Yalouri (Contributions by), Niki Sakka (Contributions by), Eleni Stefanou (Contributions by)Country/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780253055972Format: PaperbackGenre: HistoryISBN: 9780253055972ISBN-10: 0253055970Item Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: Indiana University PressRelease Date: 02/02/2021Subtitle: Archaeological Heritage and Social Conflict in Modern Greece and CyprusTopic: Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
