The Afterlife of Monuments in the English Peak District: The Evidence of Early Bronze Age Burials

This research is an investigation of the locations of Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age round barrows in the Peak District. The work involved close examination of the barrows present around two earlier monuments: the Long Low bank barrow and the henge at Arbor Low. Using a Geographic Information System, it considered the densities of the barrows around these focal monuments, inter‐visibility between the sites, and the distribution of distinctive artefacts in the surrounding area. The results raise important questions about the role of memory in the past.     

反思与重构:遗产、博物馆再审视——劳拉简·史密斯教授专访

随着批评遗产研究的兴起,国际学界对遗产、博物馆实践进行了深刻的反思.澳大利亚国立大学劳拉简·史密斯教授认为,考古学家和其他学科的专家都需要重新审视自己在遗产实践中的角色及其学术话语带来的政治影响,倾听社区和其他利益相关者的声音;博物馆工作也应寻求与相关利益群体更深层的互动,认识到参观者往往有着复杂的身份认同与情感诉求,避免将之视为简单的被教育对象,要为他们提供激发情感共鸣和自我反思的资源;描述和探讨不同文化语境中的遗产话语是迫切需要的研究课题,亚洲的遗产活动和思维对于遗产的多样性发展具有重要意义,批评遗产研究的"批评"概念需要多元文化思考,遗产理论发展和遗产学专业教育也需要对遗产的多元化理解.     

Landscapes of Desire: Tourists, Touts and Sexual Encounters at the World Heritage Site of Thebes

Cultural tourism capitalises on archaeological sites with World Heritage status on a global scale. The encounters of visitors from all over the world with local residents and other stakeholder groups, like local and international entrepreneurs, set off complex processes of interaction in which the physical and social space of the heritage site is negotiated, shaped and consumed. In a case study from Luxor/Egypt, this paper investigates a particular facet of these interactions, namely sexual encounters between tourists and members of the local community. It delineates the economic and social conditions of this phenomenon and discusses the role it takes in the production, perception and use of the World Heritage site of Thebes.
