Detailed Information
ARCH30510 - Heritage Management (Credit) - 2017
This module will examine the key issues surrounding the management of archaeological heritage in the early 21st century in Ireland and beyond. We will explore: how heritage is constructed and commodified, how it is protected and regulated, how balanced/representative it is, and how it may be contested.
A key focus will be the practice of archaeology in Ireland today, including the administrative structures, legislative framework, socio-economic developments and other constraints within which the profession operates. The Irish material is set into a global context of practices and issues in heritage management and Cultural Resource Management (CRM), including issues surrounding World Heritage Sites, CRM in conflict zones, the ethics of archaeological practice, industrial impact on heritage, and indigenous archaeologies. There will be a half-day fieldtrip (provisional date Saturday 28th October) to Kilmanham Gaol in Dublin, examning the presentation and preservation of a key heritage site.
