{"product_id":"our-native-antiquity-michael-kunichika-9781618116642","title":"Our Native Antiquity: Archaeology and Aesthetics in the Culture of Russian Modernism","description":"For Russian modernists in search of a past, there were many antiquities of different provenances and varying degrees of prestige from which to choose: Greece or Rome; Byzantium or Egypt. The modernists central to \u003ci\u003e\"Our Native Antiquity\"\u003c\/i\u003e located their antiquity in the Eurasian steppes, where they found objects and sites long denigrated as archaeological curiosities. The book follows the exemplary careers of two objects-the so-called \"Stone Women\" and the kurgan, or burial mound-and the attention paid to them by Russian and Soviet archaeologists, writers, artists, and filmmakers, for whom these artifacts served as resources for modernist art and letters and as arenas for a contest between vying conceptions of Russian art, culture, and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Kunichika\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1618116649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781618116642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Studies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.72d","brand":"Michael Kunichika","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067823681791,"sku":"9781618116642","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c573266-d482-4d1f-a1f1-1ebb73f3ce4b.jpg?v=1685415546","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/our-native-antiquity-michael-kunichika-9781618116642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
