📕 Nona Palincaş and Ana Cristina Martins are the editors of the book "Gender and Change in Archaeology. European Studies on the Impact of Gender Research on Archaeology and Wider Society", published by Springer Nature.

The return of long-lost Sumero-Akkadian heritage and modern disorders: rediscovering Gilgamesh, Victorian tension, and aftermath
“The rediscovery of the Mesopotamian epic complicated centuries-old and on-going debates about time and history: The major archaeologists of the period utilized it to return the field to its earliest arguments and better understand what time and history meant at the end of the nineteenth century, the Historians, Hebraists, and Biblicists began to question the originality of the Bible and verify its reliability, and figures specialized in literature and/or the arts got access to the primary sources of prehistory to update existing literature or create new fictional arts.”

📖 In a paper published in the Journal of Ethnobiology, Marta Macedo examines "how cannabis was part and parcel of the lives of peoples from Angola recruited to São Tomé and, consequently, of the island's plantation worlds in the late nineteenth century." 🇸🇹
"De la vie quotidienne à l'associationnisme politique, de la circulation d'imprimés à l'engagement armé, les objets et leurs usages ont en effet façonné la politisation, rendant tangible le politique."

“Gerardus Mercator is perhaps well-known for all the wrong reasons. His last name evokes the infamous Mercator projection, which depicts the world in a distorted way. The projection has been criticized for putting Europe at the center of the world and favoring the northern hemisphere by making countries there appear bigger than they are in reality.”
"Le politique dans les #Amériques: regards croisés histoire et anthropologie"
"Nous proposons lors de cette journée de faire un état des lieux du champ politique dans la recherche américaniste, afin de questionner la #politisation des sociétés, les formes de représentation politique ou encore la fabrique institutionnelle des sociétés modernes."
