Synopsis
The twelve interdisciplinary essays collected here explore what Whitney Davis calls 'replication' in archaeology, art history, and psychoanalysis - the sequential production of similar artifacts or images substitutable for one another in specific contexts of use. This book explores not only the differences between but also the common ground shared by archaeology, art history, and psychoanalysis.
