But how else can we measure monumentality? Bringing together researchers from various fields such as archaeology, museology, history, sociology, Mesoamerican studies, and art history, this book discusses terminological and methodological approaches in both theoretical contributions and various case studies. While focusing on architectural aspects, this volume also discusses the social meaning of monuments, the role of forced and free labour, as well as textual monumentality. The result is a modern interdisciplinary take on an important concept which is notoriously difficult to define.Histoire MonumentsSocial aspectsCongressesMonumentsHistoryCongressesHistoric sitesCongressesConference papers and proceedings.fastHistory.fastMonumentalityArchitectureEnergeticsIdentityLabourMonumentPerceptionReceptionCultural HistoryAncient HistoryHistoryMonumentsSocial aspectsMonumentsHistoryHistoric sites722Buccellati Federicoedt1372281Buccellati FedericoCluster of Excellence 264 TOPOIfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996309071903316Size matters3402492UNISA
