Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The surviving protagonists of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia, one of the most important enterprises in the field of cultural heritage, met, many years later, at the Nubia Museum of Aswan to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. It was March 2009. They recounted their personal experience in Nubia, highlighting the success of the technical work carried out but without ever forgetting what has been irremediably lost in this conflict between culture and human development. The 'Campaign' transformed the Nubia region not only in a international chantier of new and challenging scientific experiences but also in a theatre of unforgettable human relationships. Dynamics, reflections, evaluations, mixed with scientific data, make this volume an educational manual in the field of cultural heritage at all levels enriched by descriptions of natural panoramas, no longer visible to our eyes, geological observations, insights on local flora and fauna. Words and images offer a vision of not only what is part of the collective memory of major events (almost always scientific/academic) but also popular memories of ordinary individuals of which history is also made. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nubia, located in what is now the northern part of the Republic of the Sudan and Upper Egypt, is among the most excavated corners of the world. Here, for over a century, there have been ongoing large-scale archeological rescue operations spurred on by an extensive program of damming the Nile which is submerging the territory. If this trend is not reversed, museums will become 'the only and sole alternative' venues where, what we call 'Nubian culture,' can still be admired and understood. The objective of this research is to analyze how, as a concept and archeological presence, 'Nubia' has been dealt with so far, and with what battles it has to contend now that museums are changing their identity and trying to adapt themselves to the political trend of this century which is all about conflict of identity. The 'analytical tour' of Nubian collections, presented in this research, includes museums within and beyond the boundaries of Nubia. It represents the first attempt to sheds light on how Nubia has been understood, created and silenced in the most important venues and smaller contexts and if and how modern Nubians are involved in this process. 388 pp. Englisch.…
