Women - Research - Archeology

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Women - Research - Archeology (abbreviated FFA ) is a series of scientific publications that combines approaches from women's studies and gender studies with archaeological topics. It is published by Waxmann Verlag , Münster and is published by FemArcEdition, the editorial board of FemArc - network of women working in archeology . The committee consists (as of 2020) of ten relevant research scientists.

(Prehistory

The first previous volume in the series with the title Feminism and Archeology ?! documented the founding event of the network in 1991 and, like the one that followed, was still self-published. In 1995 these preliminary stages resulted in the series Women - Research - Archeology , which was initially located at Agenda Verlag (FFA 1–3), and has been published by Waxmann Verlag since 2002 .

Main topics

The concept of the series encompasses approaches from feminist archeology and women's and gender studies within the archaeological subjects. As a rule, contributions from different subjects are represented under one main topic: primarily prehistory and early history , then classical archeology ; Contributions from Egyptology and Near Eastern archeology are rarer ; In addition, there are occasionally contributions from other ancient studies (e.g. ancient history , classical philology ) or ethnology . In some cases the topic raised in the volume was treated scientifically for the first time on a larger scale.

Many volumes are conference publications: either for conferences of the network of women working in archeology or for the gender research working group, which takes place regularly at the annual conferences of the German associations for antiquity research .

The languages ​​of publication (as of 2020) are German and English.

Editionaries (as of 2020)

With one exception, the 10 editors are prehistory and early historians . Susanne Moraw is a classical archaeologist and had a minor in Prehistory and Protohistory. The table gives an overview of the main research priorities, which are also reflected in the directions of the series.
