Klappentext zu „The Archaeology of Anxiety “
Recent efforts to engage more explicitly with the interpretation of emotions in archaeology have sought new approaches and terminology to encourage archaeologists to take emotions seriously. This is part of a growing awareness of the importance of senses-what we see, smell, hear, and feel-in the constitution and reconstitution of past social and cultural lives. Yet research on emotion in archaeology remains limited, despite the fact that such states underpin many studies of socio-cultural transformation. The Archaeology of Anxiety draws together papers that examine the local complexities of anxiety as well as the variable stimuli-class or factional struggle, warfare, community construction and maintenance, personal turmoil, and responsibilities to (and relationships with) the dead-that may generate emotional responses of fear, anxiousness, worry, and concern.
The goal of this timely volume is to present fresh research that addresses the material dimension of rites and performances related to the mitigation and negotiation of anxiety as well as the role of material culture and landscapes in constituting and even creating periods or episodes of anxiety.

Pressezitat
"This volume is a bold, forward thinking, and essential contribution to this movement in archaeology. ... The writing of this volume contains a tone of defending the choice to study emotion as a way to advocate for its more widespread acceptance in the discipline. The results of the volume should certainly compel more archaeologists to embrace this way of thinking about the past, and recognize the potential to more fully study people's lives through the archaeological record." (Jane Eva Baxter, Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies, Vol. 6 (1-2), 2018)
