Orig.-Leinenband mit illustr. OUmschlag. Sehr gutes Exemplar; Umschlag geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - Modern Greece occupies a peculiar position in the Western imagination, being at the same time at its centre, as the direct inheritor of the classical past, and at its periphery, as a modern state with little influence in current world affairs. Yannis Hamilakis examines a neglected aspect of this phenomenon: the mutual and ongoing constitution of material antiquity, archaeological practice, and national imagination. Focusing on the agency and power of materiality, he explores topics such as the role of antiquities and archaeology in the formation of the Greek nation and the foundation of the state; the links between colonial and national imagination; the archaeological creation of monumentalized landscapes such as the Athenian Acropolis; the role of key national archaeologists such as the excavator of the so-called tomb of Philip of Macedonia, Manolis Andronikos; the role of archaeology under military dictatorships; the use of classical antiquity in Cold War detention camps; and the Elgin marbles controversy. / '. an important contribution to a dialogue that concerns the nature of Greek nationalism . it is intellectually engaging, captivating in its dexterous use of narrative, and skillfully mines ethnohistoric texts.' jack L. Davis, Carl W. Blegen / 'The argument about the role of the pre-modern element in "modern" Greek archaeology is subtle, sophisticated and groundbreaking.'
