Things in Translation
Things in Translation
Documents and Imagery
Chapter five attends to the question of documentation and specifically to the ways that visual media work to manifest things with fidelity. Moving through several case studies, from the chorographic anxieties of Sir Walter Scott to the mapping of Teotihuacan, it builds an understanding of media, not as mimetic copies, but as active modes of engagement with which archaeologists coproduce the past.
