The book introduces the concept of "upcycling" to refer to this intentionally meaningful reuse, where evidence is preserved of an intentionality behind the decision to re-employ a particular object in a particular new context, often with implications for the shared memory of a group. Utilizing archaeological, literary, and epigraphic evidence, this investigation connects seemingly disparate cases of upcycling over eight centuries of Athenian history, treating the city as a continuously evolving cultural community. In establishin g upcycling as a distinct phenomenon of intentionally meaningful reuse, this study offers a process- and agency-focused alternative to the traditional discourses on spolia and reuse, while also making a substantial contribution to the growing field of memory studies by identifying a crucial component within the overall "work of memory" within a community. Through an original interdisciplinary approach, the book illuminates a vital practice through which Athenians shaped social memory in the physical realm, literally building their history into their city. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Building materials |xRecycling |zGreece |zAthens. 650 0 Monuments |xRecycling |zGreece |zAthens. 650 0 Collective memory |zGreece |zAthens. 650 0 Appropriation (Architecture) 651 0 Athens (Greece) |xBuildings, structures, etc. 651 0 Athens (Greece) |xAntiquities. 650 7 Antiquities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 Appropriation (Architecture) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01983266 650 7 Building materials |xRecycling. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00840755 650 7 Buildings. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00840962 650 7 Collective memory. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01739814 651 7 Greece |zAthens. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204474 830 0 Wisconsin studies in classics 902 mwc |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200103 904 pad |ba |hm |cb |e20191213 910 |cG0601mon 914 (OCoLC)on1090282446 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240508 |eprocessed |f1090282446 980 |i99.95 |j81.96 |n40029592458 982 |bFY20 |cclas |n2020 |q32101107784579 986 |hDF289 |i.R68 2019
