Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This lecture is concerned with the relationships between the academic disciplines of Archaeology and Celtic Studies and those publics who hold stakes or have interests in the subjects studied by these disciplines. These publics include museum visitors, readers of popular academic books and viewers of popular television (and other media) documentaries; but also New Age esoteric, ‘alternative’ archaeologists, collectors and metal detectorists, local historians; and also land owners, (building) developers and politicians, to name but a few. In this lecture, we will look at and discuss practical, ethical and ideological aspects of the relationship between the academic disciplines on the one and these various diverse publics on the other hand. We will also discuss how these publics are catered for and treated by academia.
