Why Indiana Jones is smarter than the Post‐Processualists

JOURNAL:  Norwegian Archaeological Review
AUTHORS:  John Bintliff
SUMMARY:  Post‐Processualism's influence is waning in Britain, linked to the decline of its parent Post‐Modernism. Both lost credibility through attempting to dominate discourse, and their negative implications for human rights. Modernism and its offspring Processualism had reflected the scientism and socio‐economic centralism that dominated the 20th century up until the 1970s. Jameson and Harvey have exposed their Post‐Modernism as a superficial aesthetic movement spawned by Post‐Fordist economics.
