{"product_id":"material-culture-and-text","title":"Material Culture and Text","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1991, this is the first book-length exploration of post-structuralist discourse theory in archaeology. It tackles the most basic problem of historical and archaeological analysis - the relationship between text and artefact – in an analysis of prehistoric art fusing theory and the practice of interpretation to create a fresh framework for understanding the relationship between past and present. Focusing on a collection of rock carvings from northern Sweden, the author shows how alternative conceptualizations of the material from structuralist, hermeneutic and structural-Marxist frameworks substantially alter our understanding of their meaning and significance. Engaging readers in an interpretive process, this book is for specialists in archaeology, anthropology, art history and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243837608280,"sku":"9781138818095","price":67.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138818095_48d67c5f-5904-40a3-8bf9-31a52df3a1ed.jpg?v=1777707046","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/material-culture-and-text","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
