Description

Undoing Things: How Objects, Bodies and Worlds Come Apart offers a fresh perspective on the processes of destruction and change. While archaeology often focuses on how things are made or how identities are built, this work looks at the other side of the coin. It examines the diverse ways in which objects, bodies, places, and entire worlds fall apart. This book brings together various topics that are often studied in isolation, such as ruination, death, decay, demolition, and collapse. By looking for connections between these different practices, the text explores both intentional acts of undoing and natural taphonomic processes. It provides a unified way to think about how things become undone across different contexts. Perfect for students and professionals in the social sciences, this volume helps bridge the gaps in current archaeological discourse. It moves beyond the study of material culture as a purely productive phenomenon to include the essential study of decay and fragmentation.
