Living Ruins, Value Conflicts (Heritage, Culture and Identity)
Argyro Loukaki
Using monuments and ruins by way of illustration, this fascinating book examines the symbolic, ideological, geographical and aesthetic importance of Greek classical iconography for the Western world. It shows the ways in which archaeology and monumentality affect modern life, our notions of nationhood, of place, of self - and the limits and possibilities imposed by the need to ensure ruins are kept 'alive'.
