Inheritors of millennia-old tradition, few carvers exist today; fewer pass the Acropolis entrance exams. Their work is a highly technical amalgam of past and present, yet what these master marble carvers do and how they do it it has been undocumented until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"\u003eAs the restoration enters its final phases, this book of interviews explores the workers' craft, techniques, training, and specific roles within the restoration in their unique and deeply personal voices. \u003cem\u003eOn the Rock: The Acropolis Interviews\u003c\/em\u003e brings together ancient building practices, the teaching of traditional craft, changes in the practice of architectural restoration, and the social and class dynamics within the restoration site. Concurrently, the book considers Greece's political and economic crisis from the workers' position. Amidst crippling unemployment, work on the Rock continues, despite radical cuts. How has the Greek crisis affected the technicians' thoughts about their craft, jobs, and citizenship? \u003cem\u003eOn the Rock \u003c\/em\u003eexplores the intersection of these issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAuthors\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAllyson Vieira\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublishers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoberscove Press\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6.5 x 9 inches\u003cbr\u003e272 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eISBN\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e978-1-940190-22-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soberscove Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49280104988842,"sku":null,"price":43.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2426\/1089\/files\/ONTHEROCK_cover-scaled.jpg?v=1789763210","url":"https:\/\/shop.criticaldistance.ca\/products\/on-the-rock-the-acropolis-interviews","provider":"CDCC Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
