'Archaeologizing' heritage? : transcultural entanglements between local social practices and global virtual realities : proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Cultural Heritage and the Temples of Angkor (Chair of Global Art History, Heidelberg U

"This book investigates what has constituted notions of 'archaeological heritage' from colonial times to the present. It includes case studies of sites in South and Southeast Asia with a special focus on Angkor, Cambodia. The contributions, the subjects of which range from architectural and intellectual history to historic preservation and restoration, evaluate historical processes spanning two centuries which saw the imagination and production of 'dead archaeological ruins' by often overlooking living local, social, and ritual forms of usage on site. Case studies from computational modelling in archaeology discuss a comparable paradigmatic change from a mere simulation of supposedly dead archaeological building material to an increasing appreciation and scientific incorporation of the knowledge of local stakeholders. This book seeks to bring these different approaches from the humanities and engineering sciences into a trans-disciplinary discussion"--Provided by publisher Front Matter....Pages i-viii ‘Archaeologizing’ Heritage and Transcultural Entanglements: An Introduction....Pages 1-18 Front Matter....Pages 19-19 A Conservation Code for the Colony: John Marshall’s Conservation Manual and Monument Preservation Between India and Europe....Pages 21-37 Picturesque Authenticity in Early Archaeological Photography in British India....Pages 39-59 Front Matter....Pages 61-61 Virtual Visions of Angkor: Plaster Casts and Drawings in the Indochinese Museum of the Trocadero Palace in Paris....Pages 63-79 From Colonial Map to Visitor’s Parcours: Tourist Guides and the Spatiotemporal Making of the Archaeological Park of Angkor....Pages 81-106 Front Matter....Pages 107-107 Reality-Based Virtual Models in Cultural Heritage....Pages 109-126 3D Modelling of the Temples of Angkor Based on Religious Conceptions....Pages 127-140 Front Matter....Pages 141-141 The Giant Buddha Figures in Afghanistan: Virtual Reality for a Physical Reconstruction?....Pages 143-166 Virtualizing the Temple of Bayon....Pages 167-180 Front Matter....Pages 181-181 Between On Site-Conservation and Scientific Computing: A Future for the Twelfth-Century Banteay Chhmar Temple Complex....Pages 183-197 Angkor: Preserving World Heritage and the Role of Interpretation....Pages 199-215 Developing Conservation Approaches to Living Heritage at Angkor: The Conservation of the Statue of Ta Reach....Pages 217-232 Front Matter....Pages 233-233 Today’s Pagan: Conservation Under the Generals....Pages 235-249 The Angkorian Palimpsest: The Daily Life of Villagers Living on a World Heritage Site....Pages 251-262 The Living Archaeology of a Painful Heritage: The First and Second Life of the Khmer Rouge Mass Graves....Pages 263-274 Back Matter....Pages 275-287
