Paperback. Zustand: New. Objects generate time; time does not generate or change objects. That is the central thesis of this book by the philosopher Graham Harman and the archaeologist Christopher Witmore, who defend radical positions in their respective fields. Against a current and pervasive conviction that reality consists of an unceasing flux - a view associated in philosophy with New Materialism - object-oriented ontology asserts that objects of all varieties are the bedrock of reality from which time emerges. And against the narrative convictions of time as the course of historical events, the objects and encounters associated with archaeology push back against the very temporal delimitations which defined the field and its objects ever since its professionalization in the nineteenth century. In a study ranging from the ruins of ancient Corinth, Mycenae, and Troy to debates over time from Aristotle and al-Ash'ari through Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead, the authors draw on alternative conceptions of time as retroactive, percolating, topological, cyclical, and generational, as consisting of countercurrents or of a surface tension between objects and their own qualities. Objects Untimely invites us to reconsider the modern notion of objects as inert matter serving as a receptacle for human categories.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Nuevo. 01. Los objetos generan tiempo; el tiempo no genera ni transforma los objetos. Esa es la tesis central de este libro del filósofo Graham Harman y el arqueólogo Christopher Witmore, quienes defienden posiciones radicales en sus respectivos campos. En oposición a la extendida convicción contemporánea de que la realidad consiste en un flujo incesante, una visión asociada en filosofía con el nuevo materialismo, la ontología orientada a objetos afirma que los objetos de toda índole constituyen el fundamento de la realidad a partir del cual emerge el tiempo. Y, en contraste con la narrativa que concibe el tiempo como el transcurso de acontecimientos históricos, los objetos y encuentros propios de la arqueología desafían las delimitaciones temporales que definieron a esta disciplina y sus objetos desde su profesionalización en el siglo XIX. En un estudio que abarca desde las ruinas de la Antigua Corinto, Micenas y Troya hasta los debates sobre el tiempo de Aristóteles y al-Ashari, pasando por Henri Bergson y Alfred North Whitehead, los autores exploran concepciones alternativas del tiempo como retroactivo, per.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Archaeology has always been marked by its particular care, obligation, and loyalty to things. While archaeologists may not share similar perspectives or practices, they find common ground in their concern for objects monumental and mundane. This book considers the myriad ways that archaeologists engage with things in order to craft stories, both big and small, concerning our relations with materials and the nature of the past. Literally the "science of old things", archaeology does not discover the past as it was but must work with what remains. Such work involves the tangible mediation of past and present, of people and their cultural fabric, for things cannot be separated from society. Things are us. This book does not set forth a sweeping new theory. It does not seek to transform the discipline of archaeology. Rather, it aims to understand precisely what archaeologists do and to urge practitioners toward a renewed focus on and care for things.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Unleash archaeology's potential by turning toward pasts that resist historical time and reveal the power of an archaeology other than history.History has long shaped our expectations of what the past is and how it should be recalled, written, and displayed. Thus while objects of all ages endure and accumulate around us -- often broken and fragmented -- we continue to interpret them through historical tropes of completion, succession, and replacement. What if we were to see this indiscriminate persistence and fragmentation not as archaeological defects to be mended by history and historical narration, but as material expressions suggestive of pasts other than history? What might these other pasts look like, and how might we account for them? In this book, Bjørnar Olsen and Christopher Witmore pursue these questions. Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork at Sværholt -- an abandoned fishing hamlet, Wehrmacht artillery battery, and prisoner-of-war camp in Arctic Norway -- they explore what difference archaeology can make when working with objects of war routinely saturated by history. Through meticulous material investigations, novel ways of writing, and striking imagery, the authors open glimpses onto the distinctive pasts that forgotten things remember. In attending to what endures above and below the surface, they also confront central challenges of archaeological thought and interpretation, developing new conceptions of presence, patience, and waiting. The result is a bold and compelling vision of what archaeology might yet become.…
