Archaeology and European Modernity: Producing and Consuming the 'Minoans'

^BArchaeology and European Modernity: Producing and Consuming the 'Minoans'
edited by Y Hamilakis and N Momigliano
This unique collection contributes to current debates on the relationship between archaeology and European modernity by focusing on the specific case study of Minoan Crete, which has often been hailed as the cradle of European civilisation. It represents the first multidisciplinary effort to understand critically the disciplinary history and reception of the Minoan past, by bringing together the work of archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, art historians, and literary scholars. The contributions deal with a variety of issues concerning the 'production' and 'consumption' of the Minoan past, especially its use in the construction of European, Mediterranean, Greek, and Cretan identities. They cover an exceptionally wide array of topics, ranging from the historical and intellectual environment in which the rediscovery of Minoan Crete took place to the role of the Minoan past in Freudian psychoanalysis, and from the reception of the Minoans in modern European artistic movements and literary works to tourism, heritage management, and pedagogy. The volume will be of interest to archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and art historians interested in the politics of the past, the archaeology and anthropology of identity, the critical history of archaeology, colonialism, nationalism, and European modernity. (Creta Antica 7, Ausilo 2006)
