Changing Ireland : cultural heritage and migration (2010)

Mulhall, Anne; Donaghy, Tom; O'Connor, Catherine; Russell, Ian

Abstract:

This paper reports on the Cultural Heritage and Migration project which was conducted as part of the UCD Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive (IVRLA) series of demonstrator research projects. The project, undertaken from September to December 2009, has two separate strands: Schools’ Folklore Scheme 2009/10 and Migration to Ireland 2009/10. Both strands take as their starting point key surveys by the Irish Folklore Commission (in 1937-38 and 1955 respectively) and seek to gather comparative information in today’s very different Ireland, focusing on a society that is more urban, multicultural, and rapidly changing. The methodology and focus necessarily differ substantially from the earlier surveys, being influenced by debates and issues in the ethics of information collection as well as the need to reflect a more heterogeneous society. The project's online collection gives the background for both strands (including sample scanned material from the 1937-38 Schools’ Survey) a...

Images, representations and heritage: moving beyond modern approaches to archaeology (2006)

Images, representations and heritage: moving beyond modern approaches to archaeology (2006)

Russell, Ian

Abstract:

This poster describes a new edited volume by Ian Russell. Recent archaeological theory has shown that images of the past have carried a particularly strong resonance within modern social groups. This volume explores the immeasurable impact that the phenomenon of archaeology has had on the representation of the past in the modern world. This volume begins a discourse on the implications of performing archaeology in a world dominated by modern trends of mass production, mass replication and representation of cultural forms and mass consumption of images of the past. The contributors explore to what extent we are experiencing a crisis of representation of the past due to contemporary consumption of mass-produced replicas, simulations, images and experiences of the past. To work through this crisis the contributors in this volume are exploring opportunities for development within archaeological thought and practice. This volume signals a fundamental revision of archaeology - not what it...

Reflexive representations: an artistic exploration of some archaeological theory (2006)

Reflexive representations: an artistic exploration of some archaeological theory (2006)

Russell, Ian; Cochrane, Andrew

Abstract:

These exhibitions seek to contest traditional mechanisms for representation and spectatorship by questioning the status that the document and pictorial image play in archaeological discourse. Photomosaics of iconic archaeologists and archaeological monuments are constructed through the manufacture of archives of public images available over internet search engines. By juxtaposing the figures of archaeologists or archaeological artefacts with a collage of public images, the pieces reveal the manufacture of representations of archaeological identities (archaeologists) and that of the artefacts and monuments with which they work.

Visualizing Archaeologies: A Manifesto (2007)

Visualizing Archaeologies: A Manifesto (2007)

RUSSELL, IAN

Abstract:

peer-reviewed
Is archaeology a science? Is archaeology a humanity? What are the politics of spectatorship and archaeological representation? These initial thoughts form the basis for our archaeological explorations. Within current archaeological discourse, there are a growing number of requests for expressions, which illuminate and expose the interpretive and artistic qualities of presentation and narration. Yet few scholars actively utilize expressive practice to explore these philosophical issues. As such, we feel that it is an opportune time to intervene in visual and textual discourse by issuing a manifesto for our project. We call for a development of a critically reflexive practice of visual archaeological expressionism, which seeks to contest traditional modes of thought and action.
