Description
Critical Ancient World Studies: A New Approach to Understanding the Past. This book challenges the traditional study of antiquity by introducing Critical Ancient World Studies (CAWS), a methodology that seeks to dismantle the structures of knowledge that have led to a hierarchical, white supremacist origin story. CAWS offers a new perspective on the ancient world, one that questions the categories, ideas, themes, narratives, and epistemological structures that have been deemed objective and essential within classical studies. By exploring four key areas - Critical Epistemologies, Critical Philologies, Critical Time and Space, and Critical Approaches - this volume proposes disciplinary transformation and offers a variety of situated, embodied perspectives on how to imagine a more critical discipline. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and practitioners teaching in the field of classical studies, as well as anyone working on the ancient world or confronting Eurocentrism within other disciplines.
