Описание: Examines a wide variety of material objects and landscapes that induce anxiety, provoke unpleasantness, or simply revolt us. Bringing archaeological insight to subjects that are not usually associated with the discipline, Paul Mullins looks at the way the material world shapes how we imagine, express, and negotiate difficult historical experiences.
