{"product_id":"habitus-slawomir-kadrow-9789088907838","title":"Habitus?: The Social Dimension of Technology and Transformation","description":"The issue of the social dimension of technology and transformation, seen from the perspective of 'Habitus, ' has repeatedly been discussed in the scientific discourse exploring prehistoric and archaic communities. However, the complexity of related phenomena constantly provokes new approaches in different archaeological contexts, which leads to interesting findings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy presenting the latest studies on the social dimension of technology and transformation, this book contributes to a better understanding of a system of embodied dispositions hidden within Bourdieu's concept of 'Habitus.' These studies mainly cover European areas; from Scandinavia to Italy, the Balkans to the British Isles, and Ukraine to the Northern Caucasus. In addition, ethnoarchaeological field studies from distant Indonesia are used to interpret the Hallstatt Culture in Europe. The papers span a chronological dimension from the Neolithic to the beginning of the Iron Age and in summary include a diachronic perspective. Rock art, Trypillian megasites, stone axes and adzes, metallurgy, wagons, archery items, ceramics produced on potter's wheels, mechanisms of cultural genesis and dualistic social systems are examples of the topics discussed. This book also provides comments on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice, including the concept of 'Habitus.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is addressed to international academia, presenting an important set of information and interpretations for archaeologists and readers interested in European prehistory. It comprises contributions to the CRC 1266 International Workshop 'Habitus? The Social Dimension of Technology and Transformation, ' held in 2018 at Kiel University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slawomir Kadrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9088907838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789088907838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sidestone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Slawomir Kadrow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066414608639,"sku":"9789088907838","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f5418f7-dd09-4215-b02c-74198df32347.jpg?v=1768678355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/habitus-slawomir-kadrow-9789088907838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
