Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book examines how totalitarian regimes shape and exploit archaeological practice to serve political ideologies. It demonstrates that while politics influences archaeology in every country, the relationship becomes particularly visible and intense under dictatorships, where rulers actively control the past to legitimise authority, construct national identities and promote state propaganda. The volume opens with a theoretical framework analysing the specific mechanisms through which dictatorships affect the discipline. These include direct oversight of archaeologists, funding priorities, institutional structures and narrative control, as well as the lasting legacies that persist after regimes fall. The core of the book consists of detailed case studies drawn mainly from twentieth-century Mediterranean contexts. These explore fascist Italy's colonial archaeology in Libya, where emphasis was placed on Roman imperial connections, archaeological resource management under Franco's Spain, the mobilisation of myth and classical heritage in inter-war Albania, Greek archaeology during periods of authoritarian rule, and the use of Hittite studies in the construction of Turkish national identity under Kemal Ataturk. The contributions reveal the complex positions archaeologists occupied, ranging from active collaboration to subtle resistance, and address the ethical compromises often required for the discipline to survive under authoritarian conditions. This collection provides critical insights into the vulnerabilities of archaeology and the responsibilities of those who study the past. Relevant to archaeologists, historians of 20th-century Mediterranean politics and anyone interested in the relationship between scholarship, material culture and state power.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Archaeological knowledge is not created in a vacuum and our understanding of the past is profoundly affected by political ideologies. In fact, a relationship between politics and archaeology develops to some degree in every nation, regardless of social and economic circumstances.The connections between politics and archaeology become most visible, however, within a totalitarian dictatorship, when a dictator seeks to create and legitimize new state-supported ideologies. Any dictator may attempt to control and exploit the past, often by directly controlling archaeologists. The degree to which a nation's archaeological system may continue to be affected after the fall of the dictator depends upon both the previous regime's ideological position and its level of dependence upon archaeology, and the response of archaeologists to the regime, collectively and individually. Archaeology Under Dictatorship demonstrates that the study of archaeology as it evolved under modern dictatorships is today, more than ever, of critical importance. For example, in many European countries those who practiced archaeology under dictatorship are retiring or dying. In some places, their intellectual legacy is being pursued uncritically by a younger generation of archaeologists. Now is the time, therefore, to understand how archaeologists have supported, and sometimes subverted, dictatorial political ideologies. In studying archaeology as practiced under totalitarian dictatorship, that most harsh of political systems, light is shed on the issue of politics and archaeology generally.This volume aims to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the specific effects of totalitarian dictatorship upon the practice of archaeology, both during and after the dictator's reign. The nine essays explore experiences from every corner of the Mediterranean; from the heartlands of Italy, Spain and Greece, to the less well-known shores of Albania and Libya. With its wide-rangeof case-studies and strong theoretical orientation, this volume is a major advance in the study of the history and politics of archaeology. The Mediterranean focus will also make it thought-provoking reading for classical archaeologists and historians.…
