{"product_id":"power-presence-and-space-henry-albery-9780367133962","title":"Power, Presence and Space: South Asian Rituals in Archaeological Context","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatterns of ritual power, presence, and space are fundamentally connected to, and mirror, the societal and political power structures in which they are enacted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores these connections in South Asia from the early Common Era until the present day. The essays in the volume examine a wide range of themes, including a genealogy of ideas concerning Vedic rituals in European thought; Buddhist donative rituals of Gandhara and Andhra Pradesh in the early Common Era; land endowments, festivals, and temple establishments in medieval Tamil Nadu and Karnataka; Mughal court rituals of the Mughal Empire; and contemporary ritual complexes on the Nilgiri Plateau. This volume argues for the need to redress a historical neglect in identifying and theorising ritual and religion in material contexts within archaeology. Further, it challenges existing theoretical and methodological forms of documentation to propose new ways of understanding rituals in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, religion, archaeology, and historical geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Albery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367133962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367133962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Henry Albery","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135985168639,"sku":"9780367133962","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_553adaf4-bf84-426f-879d-0ceea356cf68.jpg?v=1770159747","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-presence-and-space-henry-albery-9780367133962","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
