This is important in a complex and ever-changing situation involving a dynamic interplay between local, regional and global factors. Security narratives are constructed in multiple ways and are used to frame our responses to the challenges and threats to our sense of safety, wellbeing, identity and survival but how the narratives are constructed is a matter of intellectual and political contestation. Using three case studies from the Pacific (Fiji, Tonga and Solomon Islands), Contested Terrain shows the different security challenges facing each country, which result from their unique historical, political and socio-cultural circumstances. Contrary to the view that the Pacific is a generic entity with common security issues, this book argues for more localised and nuanced approaches to security framing and analysis.Pacific series.National securityPacific AreaPacific AreaPolitics and governmentPacific AreaMilitary policyPacificSecurityNational security355.03301823Ratuva Steven802390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910346055103321Contested terrain1991252UNINA03402 am 2200685 n 450 991049583760332120240104030433.02-87558-540-1(CKB)3710000001633338(FrMaCLE)OB-pucl-3439(PPN)204524474(EXLCZ)99371000000163333820170817j|||||||| ||| 0enguu||||||m||||THRAVSMAContextualising the Intentional Destruction of Objects in the Bronze Age Aegean and CyprusKate Harrell, Jan DriessenLouvain-la-NeuvePresses universitaires de Louvain20171 online resource (196 p.) 2-87558-392-1 How does intentionally inflicting damage to material objects mediate the human experience in the prehistoric eastern Mediterranean? For all of the diversity in cultural practice in the civilisations of the Greek mainland and Aegean islands, Crete, Cyprus and the eastern coast of Italy between 4000-750 BC, archaeologists consider the custom of ritually killing objects as a normative, if inconsistent practice. Yet as artefacts that are alike only in that they have been disarticulated, intentionally destroyed objects defy easy characterization. Such pieces frequently stand outside of clearly defined patterns. This volume is an initial step in addressing a gap in the scholarship by aiming to deconstruct and contextualize the practice of intentional fragmentation. The case studies in this volume present a diverse range of evidence, including pottery, lithics, metals, jewellery, figurines, buildings and human remains, in an exploration of the wide spectrum of meanings behind material destruction.Cultural propertyDestruction and pillageGreeceCongressesCultural propertyDestruction and pillageCyprusCongressesBronze ageGreeceCongressesBronze ageCyprusCongressesAntiquitiesfast(OCoLC)fst00810745Bronze agefast(OCoLC)fst00839439Cultural propertyDestruction and pillagefast(OCoLC)fst01910937GreeceAntiquitiesCongressesCyprusAntiquitiesCongressesCyprusfastGreecefastConference papers and proceedings.fastCultural propertyDestruction and pillageCultural propertyDestruction and pillageBronze ageBronze ageAntiquities.Bronze age.Cultural propertyDestruction and pillage.930Bourbou Chryssi478198Boyd Michael J1455506Chapman John488225Denti Mario31343Driessen Jan488097Frankel David215283Harrell Kate1455507Knappett Carl478194Nanoglou Stratos1455508Pantelidou Gofa Maria1455509Renfrew Colin164593Vavouranakis Giorgos777339Webb Jennifer M531948Harrell Kate1455507Driessen Jan488097FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910495837603321THRAVSMA3657280UNINA
