The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and the Media in the 21st Century presents diverse international perspectives on what it means to be an archaeologist and to conduct archaeological research in the age of digital and mobile media.
This volume analyses the present?day use of new and old media by professional and academic archaeology for leisure, academic study and/or public engagement, and attempts to provide a broad survey of the use of media in a wider global archaeological context. It features work on traditional paper media, radio, podcasting, film, television, contemporary art, photography, video games, mobile technology, 3D image capture, digitization and social media. Themes explored include archaeology and traditional media, archaeology in a digital age, archaeology in a post?truth era and the future of archaeology. Such comprehensive coverage has not been seen before, and the focus on 21st?century concerns and media consumption practices provides an innovative and original approach.
The Routledge Handbook of Archaeology and the Media in the 21st Century updates the interdisciplinary field of media studies in archaeology and will appeal to students and researchers in multiple fields including contemporary, public, digital, and media archaeology, and heritage studies and management. Television and film producers, writers and presenters of cultural heritage will also benefit from the many entanglements shared here between archaeology and the contemporary media landscape.
