This paper is an attempt to discuss the concept of lively heritage, based on examples of accidental encounters with animals at archaeological sites. The starting point of this study is criticism of the “sterilisation” or “sanitisation” of archaeological sites. Its theoretical discourse on sterilisation of the past begins with a brief reference to c...

Digital archaeologists claim that their practices have proven to be an important tool for mediating conflict, ensuring that the digital turn in archaeology entails engaging in current political issues. This can be questioned by analysing a copy of the Syrian Arch of Triumph. The original was destroyed in 2015. A year later, a copy was carved out of...

Prosthetic archaeology is a theoretical proposal for a materially oriented digital practice. It is based on a critical approach to implementing the latest technologies in archaeology. Drawing from the philosophy of technology and prosthetic studies, this project offers a more critical and meaningful understanding of digital methods in archaeology....
Article
Full-text available
In contemporary archaeology, we can identify a clash of two apparently antagonistic "paradigms": the "(re)turn to things" and the "digital turn". The latter has had great impact on archaeological museums, traditionally focused on material objects, and in this article I analyse this in terms of a phenomenon that I call "digital escapism". Digital es...

Heritage is almost univocally conceived of as valuable and good, something we care for and preserve for ourselves and future generations.Although traditionally associated with the unique and monumental, heritage has over the last decades been broadened in response to claims to incorporate more diverse and globally representative legacies. While suc...
Chapter
Full-text available
This chapter reflects on the future of archaeological museum as an institution that is actively engaged in public debates on current social, cultural and economic problems, and serves as an instrument for democratic education. An idea of a “critical archaeological museum” is introduced and discussed in reference to a claim that only by (re)connecti...

This paper discusses new types of naturecultural heritage that have emerged during the Anthropocene. The authors trace and analyze novel records of the ongoing geological event and propose a method of surface-oriented ethnogra- phy to investigate heritage in the Anthropocene. We argue that rethinking history in the Anthropocene means to think throu...

This paper discusses heritagisation, a key concept in critical heritage studies. The author differ-entiates the sources and meanings of this term within various heritage discourses. First and foremost, the ambition of the paper is to propose an appropriate translation of heritagisation into Polish, one that embraces all the negative aspects of this...
Research Proposal
Full-text available
Heritage is not only a bridge between the past and the present (or the future) but currently also between culture and nature. The belief that cultural and natural heritage should be separated was recently put into question by the scholars representing critical heritage studies. The foundations for critical approaches in heritage practice and theory...

Bodies move, things are in flux, paradigms change. Moving refers to bodily movements, to social movements, migrations, but also meta-movements like the changes between paradigms, the exchange between theories, scholars, disciplines. Although there has been some critique of what is seen as a conflation of archaeology and heritage (Smith and Waterton...
Article
Full-text available
Wystawy archeologiczne otwarte w ostatniej dekadzie wskazują na paradygmatyczne zmiany w myśleniu o przeszłości. Dochodzi do decentralizacji roli człowieka w narracji o najdawniejszych epokach w celu, po pierwsze, dowartościowania zwierząt, a po drugie uwrażliwienia zwiedzających na ludzko-nieludzkie bycie-w-świecie. Jednocześnie nowe ekspozycje ar...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
A common-sensical definition of agency is "the ability to act in a given environment". This definition , however, requires clarification of what "acting", "ability", and even "environment" are. Consequently, the definition suggests a set of questions that should be probed further. For a long time, acting and agency were seen as components of a meta...

OVERVIEW The last 20 years mark a period of transformation from a traditional model of displaying archaeology to a more immersive model supported by digital and virtual media. The traditional model has generally used glass cases accompanied by extensive texts to inform visitors, whereas the immersive model employs digital media, tablets, virtual re...

W artykule są poddane dyskusji zjawiska dokonujące się wewnątrz historiografii, jak i te które widoczne są w jej otoczeniu. Można do nich zaliczyć komercjalizację, „gadżetyzację” i techno-entuzjazm. W tym pierwszym przypadku historia staje się towarem, konkurującym na rynku z innymi dobrami. W drugim, traktuje się historię jak swoistą zabawę, co pr...

Zabiegi konserwatorsko-rekonstrukcyjne prezentowane na wystawie w nowym muzeum Akropolu w Atenach zderzają ze sobą porządki materialności, wirtualności i technologii, oddając współczesny Zeitgeist — poszukiwanie kompletności i dążenie do całości, które nie przystają do sentymentalnej estetyki fragmentu. Proponuję w odniesieniu do zabiegu, dekonstru...

Abstrakt: Celem artykułu jest ukazanie debat toczonych przez archeologów na temat antropocenu i refleksja nad możliwościami zastosowania tego terminu w studiach nad dziedzictwem archeolo-gicznym. Antropocen jest tutaj rozumiany jako platforma konceptualna pomocna przy redefinicji celów i metod badawczych archeologii. Prowadzone w tym kontekście roz...

W dyskusjach o archeologii w epoce antropocenu przewiduje się, że w niedalekiej przyszłości postępujące zmiany klimatyczne zintensyfikują migracje ludzi, zwierząt, a także rzeczy – w tym zabytków. Wobec zachodzących zjawisk społecznych, politycznych (m.in. terroryzm) i naturalnych (kataklizmy) przyszłością dziedzictwa ma być jego digitalizacja, któ...

The paper is an attempt to reflect on the status of cultural heritage in the age of the Anthropocene in connection to new materialism theories.
