Using examples drawn from both the early farming settlements of the Middle East and daily life in the modern world, Ian Hodder highlights the complex co-dependencies of humans and things—arguing that the maintenance and sustaining of material worlds are the unseen drivers of human development. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated and expanded, \u003ci\u003eEntangled\u003c\/i\u003e offers new perspectives on the study of the relationality between things and humans. In this edition, the author reframes relationality in terms of various forms of dependence to better explore inequality, injustice, and the ways people get entrapped in detrimental social and economic situations. An entirely new chapter focuses on human dependence on other humans, such as between colonial powers and colonized people. Increased focus is placed on object-oriented ontologies and assemblages, symmetrical archaeology, and indigenous and radical approaches in archaeology that critique relationality and posthumanism. A wide range of new examples, references, and literature are presented throughout the book.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eArgues that dependence on things forces humans down particular evolutionary pathways and social trends\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates how long-standing entanglements can be irreversible and increase in scale and complexity over time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates archaeology, natural and biological sciences, and the social sciences \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a critical review of key contemporary perspectives, including material culture studies, phenomenology, evolutionary theory, cognitive archaeology, human ecology, and complexity theory \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntangled: A New Archaeology of the Relationships between Humans and Things, Second Edition \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, lecturers, researchers, and scholars in the fields of archeology, anthropology, material culture studies, and related fields across the social sciences and humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Hodder \u003c\/b\u003eis Dunlevie Family Professor Emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University and Professor of Archaeology at Koç University, Istanbul.
