{"product_id":"unruly-heritage-bjzurnar-julius-olsen-9781350426405","title":"Unruly Heritage: Archaeologies of the Anthropocene","description":"\u003cb\u003eHeritage is almost univocally conceived of as valuable and good, something we care for and preserve for ourselves and future generations.\u003c\/b\u003eAlthough traditionally associated with the unique and monumental, heritage has over the last decades been broadened in response to claims to incorporate more diverse and globally representative legacies. While such claims are of course welcome, they do not embrace the bulging unruly and obnoxious legacies that now haunt us; legacies that have become so conspicuously manifest that they are claimed as diagnostic of a new epoch, the Anthropocene.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book targets this exclusion. It claims that the current 'clash' between prevailing conceptions of heritage as something confined, wished for and thus worth saving, and the unruly legacies ignoring such work of purification, urges a reconsideration of strategies and rationales for how to 'deal with' heritage. Through multidisciplinary approaches, ranging from archaeology and heritage studies to philosophy and environmental politics, the contributions bring heritage into dialogue with a wide range of topics including industrialisation, material profusion, modernist architectural material, coastal reclamations, barbed wire, and naval mines. The result is a volume that profoundly challenges traditional understandings of heritage as an exclusive reserve of things selected and managed by us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bjørnar Julius Olsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350426407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350426405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Bjørnar Julius Olsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623485288703,"sku":"9781350426405","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unruly-heritage-bjzurnar-julius-olsen-9781350426405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
