The conference discusses the role of archaeological expeditions, the staging, communication, instrumentalization, and touristification of archaeological sites during and after colonial rule from the Mediterranean to various locales across the African continent and the Atlantic, and from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific.

Archaeology, Colonialism and the History of Tourism

Following a previous session at the Australian Archaeological Association Conference in 2020, this online symposium focuses on entanglements between archaeology, colonialism, and the history of tourism across time and space, with case studies from the Mediterranean to various locales across the African continent and the Atlantic, and from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. It discusses the role of archaeological expeditions, the staging, communication, instrumentalization, and touristification of archaeological sites during and after colonial rule. It interrogates intersections between natural and cultural heritage, the role of infrastructure, accessibility, and the interplay between sites nearby cities and in remote locations. It sheds new light on the appropriation, shaping, and re-shaping of landscapes, on the role of urbanization, excavated and newly erected architecture, on the role of musealization processes, guidebooks, and on the creation of tourist itineraries between various sites. The conference investigates how specific visions were and are being created, thereby paying particular attention to the diverse media used to convey these visions. It analyzes what, in contrast, was and is meant to be rendered and to remain invisible, and it examines disruptions of these processes. Unpacking the epistemic and physical violence connected to many of these archaeological sites, the conference is a platform for multiple voices, and seeks to show the potential of studies of archaeology, colonialism, and the history of tourism in their local and global intersections, superimpositions, and stratifications.
