Dieses Buch bietet einen guten Einstieg für Gelehrte der Altertumskunde und Kulturschaffende, sich in übersichtlichen Beiträgen den gender-studies zu nähern. Die Artikel greifen […] theoretische Debatten auf und nennen grundlegende weiterführende Literatur […] – Rainer Schreg auf Archaeologik
„Die AutorInnen schreiben anschaulich, modern und wissenschaftlich über Themen, die (nicht nur) für die Geschichtswissenschaft von großem Wert sind." – Daniel Ossenkop auf Das Mittelalter – Der Blog
Insgesamt handelt es sich bei „Images of the Past“ um einen sehr interessanten und gut redigierten Band, der die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der beiden oben genannten Tagungen [Images of the past. Gender and its representation und Gender in museums] vorlegt und aktuelle Arbeiten sowohl gestandener als auch junger Kollegen vereint. [...] Durch den starken Praxisbezug und die zahlreichen Abbildungen werden die Inhalte sehr anschaulich verdeutlicht. – Katja Winger, in: Archäologische Informationen 41 (2018), S. 460.
I think that the articles published [...] are interesting and important items that should prompt reflection among archaeologists employed in scientific and museum facilities. I can especially recommend it to Polish researchers, due to the fact that the issues of gender in the past are basically absent in the archaeological discourse in Poland. – Zuzanna Rózanska-Tuta, in: Archaeologia Polona 56 (2018), S. 206.
Images of the Past
Gender and its Representations
herausgegeben von Jana Esther Fries, Doris Gutsmiedl-Schümann, Jo Zalea Matias und Ulrike RambuscheckPictures are an essential feature of archaeological discourse. The way they are used and their unconsciously made assertions demonstrate important things about ourselves, our theories, our methods, and the way we think. They subtly convey our convictions and view of the world – especially with regards to gender issues.
The papers united in this volume highlight the relationship between words and images, thinking and showing, knowledge and assumptions, scholarly thinking and popular images in archaeology. They cover two main issues: pictorial representations of archaeology in academic and popular media, and pictures in museums. The authors examine the use of gender in academic publications, TV-documentaries, video games, non-fiction books for children and adolescents, and in archaeological museums in Spain and Germany.
The volume is the result of two sessions of gender study in archaeology: “Images of the Past: Gender and its Representations” during the 20th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists in September 2014 in Istanbul, and “Gender in Museums”, the symposium of the Nordwestdeutscher Verband für Altertumskunde (Northwest German Association for Antiquarian Studies) in September 2013 in Lübeck. This book includes articles in English and in German.
