Transcultural Entanglements between Local Social Practices and Global Virtual Realities By: Michael Falser Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783642358692, 3642358691 eText ISBN: 9783642358708, 3642358705 Copyright year: 2013 Format: EPUB Available from $ 139.00 USD SKU 9783642358708 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.
