On the Past: Dilemmas of Representations in Archaeology

PDF version
Keywords: Archaeological past, representation, narrativisation, visualisation, performance

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to present and critically evaluate various forms of representation of the past based on the material remains of the past, proposed in professional archeology and by non-academic groups interested in the past. The strategies of representation allow the conceptualisation, interpretation and understanding of various aspects of life in the past and respond to the needs of the individuals and groups that create them. In particular, I analysed various forms of narrativisation, visualisation, and means of experiencing the past that are present in archeology and in the public sphere.
