Experiencing the Past: On the Character of Archaeology — Interpretation and Institutional Authority
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Experiencing the Past: On the Character of Archaeology by Michael Shanks as a systems-level analysis of how archaeology shapes identity, ownership, and institutional authority.
By examining incentive architecture rather than artifacts alone, the episode shows why archaeology persists as both a scientific and interpretive discipline — and how it connects to broader systems of cultural memory and political legitimacy.
