Lena Sanders et al., « Le temps long du peuplement. Concepts et mots-clés », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10670/1.s7i6mf
Since the appearance of articulated language, humans have been constantly putting words to the world around them to make it intelligible and to try to adapt to complex and changing realities. Among these words, a hundred or so key concepts relate to the way in which they occupy space, develop it, exploit it and transform it.Based on a collective work between archaeologists, geographers, historians and modellers, this book proposes to describe these words in time and space: the aim is to bring to light and compare points of view, to mark the convergences, but also the uncertainties and sometimes the disagreements between disciplines, based on the general definitions and the uses encountered over the decades.The book is organised in four parts devoted to 'tool words' (space, time, process, etc.), to the spatiality of societies (territory, metropolis, network, etc.), and to processes or discourses related to degrowth. Throughout the book, theoretical discussions of concepts are enriched by presentations of thematic dossiers on various geographical and historical contexts. From Babylon to Chichen Iza, from Celtic cities to the current degrowth of Russian and German cities, the book includes a collection of cases written by specialists in settlement systems.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
