Modern Myth

All too often we talk about fake news and alternative facts as if they are new concepts. In reality history itself is constructed, and thus constrained by its authors, we have as a society taken this as truth and unfortunately there is more to history that just the past.

    Saving Mes Aynak, Cultural Heritage in Conflict with Brent E Huffman -Ep 22

    10 Years ago, Brent was interviewed by Tristan about the film Saving Mes Aynak and now they are reuinted in podcast form once again. Across the world, cultural heritage faces the threat of human development, for things like housing or resources. 10 years ago Saving Mes Aynak was a film about a Buhddist archaeological site of the same name in Afgahistan and followed the stories of Afgan archaeologists in their attempts to record and perserve the archaeological record under the threat of the Taliban and more directly, a Chinese mining company, looking to extract copper from the area. In this episode, Brent recounts his time filming Saving Mes Aynak and reflects on the political changes in the country since then. Also discussed in his current project, which is about cultural heritage under threat, and telling the stories of the people who are attempting to rescue it.

    The Modern Myth of the British Empire with Dr. Kim A Wagner - Modern Myth - Episode 20

    This episode dives into the world of the British Empire - as it is viewed in Britain and the lingering narratives that surround it. Today's guest is Kim A Wagner, Professor of Global and Imperial History, who discusses the reality of the British Empire and challanges the "balance sheet" view of history which sees historical events as simply "good" or "bad". We also get on to the topic of the culture war that seems to be happening in the UK when it comes its own colonial legacy and in particular adherence to the reminders of that past in the forms of statues and names of buildings and colleges.

    The Black Trowel Collective with Aris Poliopoulos and Colleen Morgan - Modern Myth - Episode 19

    Today's epsiode is all about mutual aid, anarchism and archaeology. I sat down recently with Aris Politopolis and Colleen Morgan, both of whom are members of The Black Trowel Collective. We discuss what the BTC does and in particular the function of its microgrants, which provide $5-$300 in grants to students of archaeology, with no questions asked. We also talk about the ways in which anarchism has influenced this kind of work and what "anarchaeology" may mean in terms of working with others.

    Heritage Traineeships with Phoenix Archer - Episode 16 - Modern Myth

    It is always important to be open to hearing both when things go well and also when there are serious issues. In the UK, there is a feeling that systemic racism is either overemphasised or poses no real threat. However this ignorance leads to those who experience racism having to be suffer and work harder in order to have a normal life or employment.  In this conversation I am speaking to Phoenix Archer who gained a certification in Conservation with Historic Environment Scotland, a traineeship facilitated by the Next Step Initiative. Next Step provide opportunities for BAME individuals for traineeships and training in Scotland.  Phoenix tells me about her experiences at HES, based at the Engine Shed in Stirling, Scotland. She tells me about the difficulties of moving to a new city, living in a hostel before find accommodation as well as experiencing harassment at work. Despite writing letters to her managers, and making it known that she felt uncomfortable, it all seemed to fall on deaf ears.  Phoenix works for several organisations, including St Machar's Cathedral in Aberdeen, Ahead of the Game - Application and CV services and new in October BIPOC and them some, which seeks to highlight BIPOC representation in arts and Media. https://www.facebook.com/AOTGTheReal/ https://www.facebook.com/ProgressinDialogue/ https://www.stmachar.com/education_outreach.htm https://www.facebook.com/BIPOC-and-then-some-115065223670327

    The Modern Myth of Archaeology in Nigeria with Ajayi Boluwaji - Episode 15

    This episode was a privileged to record, I sat down with Ajayi Boluwaji, an archaeology based in Nigeria to talk about the similarities and differences when working in that part of the world. We discuss the colonial hangover that has greatly affected the perception of archaeology as well as the perceived economic disadvantage to doing archaeology. Ajayi describes how community archaeology is the way forward, in order to unravel and better interpret the past in Nigeria, by connecting people to their heritage and demonstrate the capability of the populations who lived in Nigeria, hundreds or thousands of years ago. He describes how his Yoruba heritage informs the work he does and where his passion for archaeology comes from. We also discuss what archaeologists around the world can do to help and support their colleagues in Nigeria. For more information you can find I ask about regional differences in archaeology and about conferences that happen in Nigeria for archaeologists.
