Abstract

Through the voices of over 20 Hadrian's Wall enthusiasts - chosen amongst prominent frontier scholars and archaeologists, re-enactors, curators, walkers and site managers - this volume celebrates the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian's visit to Britain and the building of the Wall. Together, the authors explore issues such as the impact of environmental changes on archaeology and the innovative technologies used in monitoring and managing the Wall and its collections. The book highlights not only the ways in which Hadrian's Wall can be protected for future generations, but also the ways in which it affects the identities of those who work and travel along it. Rather than a retrospective of work undertaken so far, or an attempt to impose theoretical frameworks onto a living landscape, it offers a realistic discussion of current issues and solutions in the exploration, management and protection of Hadrian's Wall, from the point of view of those living, visiting, researching and working along it.

Abstract

"This book discusses the role of cultural practices and policy for sustainable development in West Africa across different artistic disciplines, including performance, video, theatre, community arts and cultural heritage. Based on ethnographic field research in local communities, the book presents findings on current debates of cultural sustainability in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Benin. It provides a unique perspective connecting cultural studies, conflict studies and practical peacebuilding approaches through the arts. The first part pays particular attention to aspects of social cohesion and the circumstances of internally displaced persons e. g. caused by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. The second part focuses on cultural policy issues and challenges in the context of sustainable development, investigating participatory approaches and bottom-up processes, the role of governments and civil society, as well as performing arts organizations and universities in policy making and implementation processes. Performing Sustainability in West Africa presents research results and new methods on the role of artistic and cultural practices in conflict situations as well as current debates in cultural policy for researchers, academics, NGOs and students in cultural studies, sustainable development studies and African studies".

Abstract

Conservatoires du patrimoine, garants de la mémoire, refuges du Beau, les musées relèvent a priori d'une autre branche de l'activité humaine que la guerre, et plus généralement que l'exercice de la violence... Et pourtant... On s'est bien gardé jusqu'à présent de trop creuser la question, mais ce livre le montre, le musée et la guerre ont fait couple plus souvent qu'à leur tour. Si, de la Campagne d'Italie de 1796 à la récente guerre d'Irak, le musée est trop souvent la victime impuissante de faits de guerre, les situations ne manquent pas non plus où il "s'adapte" un peu trop bien. La convoitise du collectionneur prend le pas sur la responsabilité du conservateur: plus de guerre chez les uns, plus de musée chez les autres... L'impérialisme, le nationalisme, l'idéologie, le manque d'humanité ou la simple ignorance des torts commis aux individus ou aux peuples spoliés se révèlent d'excellents agents muséaux... Retour sur une histoire où rodent encore le fantôme de Göring et quelques autres qu'on eût pu croire plus fréquentables, ce livre érudit, captivant et salubre analyse toutes les pièces du dossier: dégâts directs et indirects, saisies, commerce et trafic illicite, restitutions, etc. Fondamentalement honnête, il n'obéit à aucune logique d'imprécation. L'anime plutôt le soupçon que l'idéal qui a donné naissance aux premiers musées doit connaître une relance, au service du patrimoine mondial et de l'homme universel.
