Reviews

This proposal is very good. The authors propose a book that is timely and most useful. The editors accurately place the subject in a scholarly context and they also have called on scholars in the field that will prepare top-notch contributions to the volume. I think that the volume promises to be excellent. The strengths are the roster of scholars that have committed to the project. The scholars come from a wide array of backgrounds, both in terms of their topics, regions, and place in the world of archaeology (i.e., there are both senior and junior scholars) [...] seems to be well-organized with a structure that serves the topic well. --Carolyn White, University of Nevada, Reno, USA Interesting topic and in need of further study [...] [the] book will need to be distinctive, different, and demonstrate how it can advance the field. --Yannis Hamilakis, University of Southampton, UK

An original and timely contribution to the growing literature on issues of visuality, poetics, affect and the changing place of the image in archaeological knowledge production. -- Colin Sterling * author of Heritage, Photography and the Affective Past *
