Description
Summary:[EN] This work uses ideas of Foucault, Clastes, and Lévi-Strauss to develop an approach to the conceptualization and symbolic use of space and time which legitimized and made possible the construction of megalithic and earlier Neolothic commnunities. While the Mesolithic/Neolithic pattern is seen as facilitating the social practice of foragers or shifting agriculturalist, the megalithic ideology would have been developed by settled peasant farmers. Specific types of megalithic monuments are seen as expressing different ideological representations of social power.
