Abstract
This paper reviews the current heritage outreach in Egypt through selected examples together with related historical activities since the nineteenth century. An evaluation of the present situation is challenging due to the multiple stakeholders involved, such as institutions, initiatives, projects, and independent practitioners. The author of this paper has engaged in heritage outreach activities with different local Egyptian communities. Through that cumulative experience in observing and developing outreach practices inform this paper, it becomes clear that there are no fixed guidelines in the field of heritage outreach in Egypt due to the peculiarities of each local site, audience, and overall aims.
期刊介绍:
Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries.
Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display.
Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
