This book explores the experience of labour for ancient Greek farming communities using historical, archaeological, bioarchaeological, and ethnographic data. It offers a compelling and methodologically innovative approach using the moral economy, taskscapes, and embodiment as interpretative frames.Reconstructing the lived experience of ancient farmers, the book defines the physical, conceptual, and ideological contours of the farmer's world.

It also appeals to readers interested in labour, embodiment, the mor

Is art created with computers really art? This book answers 'yes.' Computers can generate visual art with unique aesthetic effects based on innovations in computer technology and a Postmodern naturalization of technology wherein technology becomes something we live in as well as use. The present study establishes these claims by looking at digital art's historical emergence from the 1960s to the start of the present century. Paul Crowther, using a philosophical approach to art history, considers the first steps towards digital graphics, their development in terms of three-dimensional abstraction and figuration, and then the complexities of their interactive formats.
