Chattaal, tienertaal en taalverandering
Authors: Vandekerckhove Reinhild
Published: March 2021

This paper analyses the realisation of two morpho-syntactic variables, thevariants of which are markers of Belgian Dutch versus Netherlandic Dutch.The database consists of a corpus of chat language produced by Flemishteenagers. Both a quantitative analysis of the relative frequency of the variantsin the 'speech' of the Flemish teenagers and a qualitative analysis of theirfunctional-pragmatic distribution reveal a strong dominance of the endogenousBrabantic Dutch variants. Data from the Spoken Dutch Corpus fromthe spontaneous speech of young Flemish adults confirm this tendency. Inspite of more than half a century of official language policy promoting convergencewith northern Netherlandic Dutch, the northern standard Dutchvariants are hardly integrated in the peergroup language of Flemish teenagersand young adults, although they do belong to their linguistic repertoire.
Kinderen en de menselijke levensloop in de correspondentie van Fronto
Authors: Laes Christian
Published: March 2021

This study is the first to focus on the subject of children and human lifecourse in Fronto's correspondence. lt deals with sections in Fronco's lettersconcerning wet-nurses and breastfeeding, pedagogues, child beating, youthful(mis)behaviour, affective relationships between master and pupil, pueri senesand old age - interesting passages hardly noticed by social hiscorians or insufficiently treated in the commentary by M.P.J. van den Hout. In the fourthparagraph, I elucidate passages testifying to the warm and close relationshipbetween Fronto and the young children of Marcus Aurelius' imperial family.Both these texts and the letters about Fronto's grandchildren (elaboratedupon in the fifth paragraph) reveal a petting attitude towards children, a wayof thinking which is parallelled in various other sources, especially in epigraphicalpoetry. In the conclusion, I ask whether Fronto's way of looking atchildren is to be linked wich a changed attitude in the Antonine second century.I am, however, rather reluctant to posit such a change in the mencal attitude.
Imagines Academiae
Authors: Boute Bruno
Published: March 2021

According to Bernard Lepetit, "L'histoire est une bonne fille, un peu nonchalantemais toujours prête à suivre, sans trop discuter, qui vient de la séduire."This paper explores the specific concerns that are embedded in theoreticaland methodological modalities of research into collective action in the past.The limits and opportunities offered by concepts and hermeneutical strategiesborrowed from other sciences, in casu social sciences, have to be evaluatedby holding them against the yardstick of the implicit and explicit understandingsand operations chat structure the latter. The argument is developed viaa comparative analysis of a specific theme - academic policy in the archducalNetherlands (1598-1621) - from two different perspectives, each based on adifferent concept of the network as a framework of collective action. It arguesthat historians can safeguard their unique selling proposition by substitutingostensible models of society (in casu Social Network Theory) by a performativeconcept of collective action (in casu Actor Network Theory).

November 2003, the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature(Belgium) initiated the project 'Linguistic Aspects of Jurisprudence duringthe United Kingdom of the Netherlands'. This research project is financedand backed up by the Royal Academy and supervised by R. Willemyns, memberof the Academy. The principal aim of the project was to gather and openup primary sources in order to gain a better insight in the choice and use oflanguage and the language itself in the period between 1814 and 1830. Thefinal product is a visual database with judicial texts that is made available forresearchers. This visual database will be put at the disposal of the Oxford TextArchive in the course of 2007.
Van schets tot ets
Authors: Madelein Christophe
Published: March 2021

In 1790 Immanuel Kant published his third Critique, the Kritik derUrteilskraft, one of the most influential studies on aesthetics in modernEurope. Particularly his discussion of the sublime remains to this very day apoint of reference. But Kant had already discussed the sublime in an earlierwork in 1764. This early work, Beobachtungen über das Gefühl des Schönenund Erhabenen, was translated into Dutch in 1804. In the introduction the(anonymous) Dutch author refers to Paulus van Hemert as the driving forcebehind the translation. Between 1796 and 1798, this Paulus van Hemen hadpublished Beginzels der kantiaansche wijsgeerte, a four-volume introduction toKant's critical philosophy. In this article I present Kant's early interpretationof the sublime and the later discussion of it in the Kritik der Urteilskraft, bymeans of these two Dutch texts.

Published: March 2021

Les chartes médiévales de l'ancienne abbaye prémontrée de Ninove, qui constituentle corpus de notre thèse, offrent de nombreuses possibilités de recherche,tant aux hiscoriens qu'aux linguistes. En partant de l'angle global de lasociolinguistique historique, nous analysons les chartes de deux manières:toute charte issue entre 1137 et 1350, qu'elle soit écrite en latin, en ancienfrançais ou en moyen néerlandais, est pourvue d'un profil socio-historique. Ace profil s'ajoute, pour les documents rédigés en ancien français, une analysedialectale. La combinaison de ces deux approches nous permet de reconstruireles circonstances de l'essor des langues vernaculaires écrites dans notre corpus.Le présent article traite le siècle turbulent (1250-1350) où non seulementle néerlandais et le français apparaissent à cóté du latin, mais aussi les rapportsentre les deux langues vernaculaires écrites s'inversent.
Marcus Aurelius' Τα ειζ εαντον
Authors: Janssens Marijke
Published: March 2021

In the past Marcus Aurelius' Τα ειζ εαντον has often been misinterpreted asremains of a systematic moral treatise or as preparatory notes for a final edition.In our view this might be due to the lack of attention paid by researchersin the past to the literary form of the work. A study of the literary form of theΤα ειζ εαντον soon reveals connections with the work of Epictetus, Seneca,Plutarch, Bion and others, and suggests that the work should be interpretedas moral exercises. In the present contribution we wish to illustrate the aim,the method and the literary form of Marcus' moral exercises by studying twospecific passages from the Τα ειζ εαντον (IV, 48 and 49).
De territoriale ambities van de diadochen in de eerste jaren na de dood van Alexander de Grote (323-320 v.C.)
Authors: Meeus Alexander
Published: March 2021

Scholars almost universally agree that there were two tendencies among theSuccessors of Alexander the Great: while some are assumed to have aimed atgaining control of Alexander's entire empire, others supposedly were contentwith a part of it. This paper will question the foundations of this communisopinio, as both Diodorus Siculus and Cornelius Nepos explicitly state that allthe Successors wanted to lay their hands on the entire realm and no ancientauthor mentions any separatist tendencies. A new assessment might show thatmany of the alleged signs of separatism in the early Successor era can also beinterpreted in other ways.

This contribution deals with several aspects of the sociolinguistic situationduring the brief reunification of the Low Countries under the reign ofWilliam I (1814-1830). After giving an overview of the government's rigorousDutchification policy, the author focuses on the metalinguistic discoursein Flanders at the time, analyzing how Flemish authors and grammarians perceivedthe Northern linguistic norms. Spelling will be taken as a prime exampleof the overlap between language and politics, mapping out the social valueattached to various writing systems in the context of the debate about linguisticconvergence or divergence between North and South.

The idea of a 'proactive sports policy' might sound modern, but also in theancient Greek world some regions were particularly successful in the agonisticcircuit because cheir political leaders explicitly stimulated sports. After achronological overview of the distribution of Olympic victories over theGreek world, this paper focuses on the example of third century BC Egypt,for Egyptian participants did particularly well in both equestrian and athleticevents in this period. The analysis of their sports policy shows that thePtolemies offered financial support for talented sportsmen, built a professionalsports infrastructure, created a local circuit of games and publicizedtheir successes in the Greek world.

The traditional view of the history of the rhetoricians tells us that the first halfof the seventeenth century was a period of total decline for these theatre societies.Even less is known about the period after 1650. The case of the AntwerpChamber of Rhetoric called The Olive Branch (originally named TheGillyflowers) demonstrates that the rhetoricians were quite resilient: between1662 en 1762 performances continued, new plays were written and therhetoricians were sympathetic towards new and popular forms of drama, asthe surviving repertoire demonstrates.
De vertaling van ironie in een literair corpus
Authors: De Wilde July
Published: March 2021

In the first part of this article, I discuss two essential concerns regarding the analysis ofthe translation of literary irony, one of them conceptual and the other methodological.What is (literary) irony and how can it be defined? How can irony-shifts between thesource-text and the target-text most advantageously be described and analysed? In thesecond part of the paper a heuristic construct, the ironic effect, is proposed. Theadvantages of this methodological construct are enumerated: it enables to addresssimultaneously text-analytical and translational descriptive issues. The heuristicinstrument is then illustrated with excerpts taken from twentieth century Spanish-American literature and their French, American and Dutch translations.
Quis nomen tenerum convivae contemnat?

Published: March 2021

Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558), mostly known to us for his poetic theory, the PoeticesLibri Septem, is the author of an extensive, though largely unstudied poetic oeuvre. Thiscontribution treats the fifth satire, titled Conviva, in his collection Teretismata, and strivesspecifically to analyze the development and representation of the satiric persona in thisspecimen of cena-literature. In accordance with the insights of the persona theory, the‘voice’ in the satire is not interpreted as a mirror of the author’s point of view, but as afunctional poetic construction. Using the text as a point of departure, we investigate theevolution of the persona, how he is influenced by the surrounding scene, the author’s ownhidden agenda, the literary tradition through intertextual allusions to the Roman satiristsin order to finally reach a conclusion regarding the effect of the persona on the messageand interpretation of the satire.
De historische imperatief

Published: March 2021

This paper brings together some considerations concerning the reconciliation of modernliterary theory and ancient literature. Modern theories reflecting on the hermeneutic actsuch as (critical) discourse analysis, rhetorical theory, reception studies, and New Historicismare discussed in order to improve classical scholars’ awareness of their own interpretativeassumptions when dealing with ‘classical’ literature. Moreover, attention is paidto the peculiar character of classical literary studies as an essentially historical undertaking.Attempts to focus on the ancient Greeks’ and Romans’ Otherness, to use a deconstructionistterm, might offer a sensible academic antidote for the reductionist characterof many popular discourses concerning the classical world.

Multilingualism has become the norm rather than the exception in our global society. Previousresearch has shown that bilingual children have advantages in cognitive control.The reason for this is that during language control they recruit general executive brainregions that are not specified for language. However, the bilingual advantage has beencontested by some studies.This article reports the methodological setup of an ongoing research in Brussels thattries to map the neural correlates, the origin and development of the assumed bilingualadvantage in cognitive control. This can be done by means of two conflict tasks that correspondto the processes involved in multilingual language processing. Besides, two differenttypes of bilingualism are distinguished according to the sociolinguistic environmentthe second language was acquired. Finally, implications for education will be discussed.

This article discusses an exploratory study of the language use and choice in 19th-centuryfoundlings’ letters from Gent. Inspired by the 'language history from below’ tradition,this study aims to deepen our knowledge of language past regarding the written languageof 'ordinary people'. After focusing on the tension between non-standard writing practicesand standard norms, we look at the language choice in the foundlings' letters. It isremarkable that some of these letters were written in French, whereas it is generallyassumed that lower class people only spoke Dutch dialects. We will try and contextualizeour findings concerning language choice within the broader framework of tensionsbetween French and Dutch in Belgium.
Medusa's echo
Authors: Noens Tim
Published: March 2021

This article seeks to underline the importance of the image of Medusa in Statius' Thebaid.The Gorgon is explicitly introduced in an ekphrasis of a sacred goblet in the programmaticfirst book. This ekphrasis seems to function as a narrating mechanism that enablesthe reader to activate Medusa's presence, which may then remain lingering throughoutthe entire epic poem. Stimulated by echoes of words and scenes, that evoke the ekphrasis,the reader gradually creates his own fictional network in which the Gorgon continuouslyappears. Her (implicit) presence is illustrated in the passage that describes the marriageof Adrastus' daughters to Polynices and Tydeus in the second book, and in the tragic passagein the fifth book in which Opheltes prematurely dies.

Published: March 2021

This contribution explores the tension that existed in the nineteenth century in the SouthemNetherlands between the liberal legislation and the principle that markets withoutofficial recognition were illegal. How did the authorities deal with that tension? The focushere is on 'real' markets: formal or informal gatherings of buyers and sellers for the purposeof trading commodities, often with a certain periodicity, sometimes in public, sometimesin private places. The first part goes through the restrictive rules on the establishmentof such markets. The second part confronts these rules with the implications of theliberal decree d'Allarde, declaring the exercise of all professions free. Finally, the lastpart explores the legal means this ambiguous legal framework offered to act against illegalmarkets: markets being held without official recognition. This contribution shows thatit mainly depended on local authorities whether such illegal markets could continue toexist.

How did rural communities cope with the devastations of war in the pre-modern world?While the political context of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) has received considerableattention, this project seeks to examine the resilience of the rural communities ofAttica in the face of the social and economic impact of the war. Epigraphical evidenceand archaeological remains indicate that the traditional view that the countryside of Atticawas depleted as a direct consequence of the war, needs to be questioned. Applying amultidisciplinary approach, this research project will investigate the long-term resilienceof the countryside communities (demes). Analyzing the historical sources and archaeologicalremains of the period 450-350 BCE, this project aims at tracing the resilience ofthe Attic demes outside of Athens by examining how they found ways to sustain and resettheir community lives.

Kind aan huis

Published: March 2021

In the past two decades the historiography of the child has paid increasing attention tothe voices and experiences of children in the past, gradually letting go of the so-called'adult gaze' and learning to study children as historical actors in their own right. Buildingupon these insights, this article will assess the influence of adult bourgeois norms on theworld and self-perception of children in nineteenth-century Belgium from a strict children'spoint of view. lt will contribute to our knowledge of the mechanisms underlyingchildren's socialization in the past, arguing that rather than being the passive recipientsof adult norrns, children actively internalized the ideas and ideals with which they werebrought up. More concretely, the article will take the form of a casestudy and investigatehow the influential ideal of domesticity that emerged in the late eighteenth-centuryshaped the developing gender identity of two teenagers living in early nineteenth-centuryBelgium. Hence, it will contribute to the budding historiography of family and child inthe regions of present-day Belgium.
Het belang van '1814' in de Belgische archiefgeschiedenis
Authors: Van Havere Timo
Published: March 2021

In recent years archivists and historians have been pondering the importance of '1800' inthe history of archives and historiography: did the turn of that century mark the start of'modern' archival organisation, focused on historical research? Even though the accessibilityof Belgian archives was unsurpassed in nineteenth-century Europe, the archival historyof that country has been neglected thus far. By looking at the National Archives inBrussels and the city archives of Ghent, new light can be shed on the Belgian archivallandscape around 1800. As it turns out, 1814 was an important turning point. The politicalchange ftom the French Empire to the United Kingdom of the Netherlands was used bysome historians to secure an appointment as archivist. At the same time, the new nationalgovernment actively remodelled archives into historiographical institutions.

By teasing out the specific textual places where Jan Vos's bloody masterpiece Aran enTitus, of Wraak en Weerwraak (Aran and Titus, or Revenge and Revenge in Retaliation;1638, published 1641) starts to produce 'faultlines' that ultimately undermine the tragedy'sdominant claim, this articles shows that an altemative, dissident perspective mightbe uncovered, to which the existing interpretations of Vos's play have paid little to nocritical attention. Moreover this contribution wishes to demonstrate that the play seemsto engage in the discursive context of the Dutch Republic's ideological divergencebetween the political and the military discourse during the reign of stadtholder FredrickHenry in the late 1630s.

De Latijnse werkwoordstijden in 3D
Authors: Aerts Simon
Published: March 2021

The current paper defends the existence of aspect in Latin by proposing a three-dimensional(SFL-inspired) interpretation of both aspect and tense. The traditional usage labelsof the tenses can all be framed within the framework proposed in this paper. Moreover,the interpersonal meaning of perspective, similar to focalization, adds an important interpretationof many tenses and their textual surroundings. The ultimate tense choice in narrativesusually depends on the most important dimension of meaning, along a certainmetafunctional hierarchy. Such a multidimensional interpretation of the tenses mayinspire an authentic reading experience and boost the development of pupils’ cognitiveand linguistic capacities.
Plutarchus en de kunst om het volk te (mis)leiden
Authors: Oppeneer Thierry
Published: March 2021

This article considers the Political precepts of Plutarch of Chaeronea (ca. 50-120 AD) inorder to advance our understanding of local power relations in the Greek cities of theRoman Empire. In this essay, written for the aspiring politician, Plutarch offers his readersvarious instructions, examples and warnings that are highly informative about localpolitics. With this article, I intend to show that his instructions, passed on from one elitepolitician to another, were meant to equip the reader with the necessary tools to assert asmuch influence as possible over a strong populace that was very capable of defending itsown interests. From this it follows that, in contrast with the current scholarly consensus,the popular assembly was still the forum for an ongoing process of negotiation betweenmass and elite, even in the Roman period.

The investigation of the luminescent properties of nonstoichiometric spinel compositions of MgO·2,5Al2O3 irradiated in direct and scattered beams of 12 MeV electrons on M-30 microtron are given. The phosphorescence decay kinetics of these compounds that occur after irradiation have been studied. It was found that the kinetics of induced luminescence can be described the Becquerel’s hyperbola. The degree parameter of this hyperbola is increased with increasing the dose of radiation. The regularities of the thermoluminescence peak change in the range of 110-250ºC with the dose are investigated. It is concluded that obtained results can be used for clinical and technological dosimetry of pulsed electron beams.

Published: March 2021

Catatonia can occur in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and malignant catatonia is life threatening. Anti-psychotic medications should be discontinued during acute phase of catatonia. Anti-psychotic discontinuation in catatonia is a challenge in patients maintained on long-acting injectable antipsychotics because of the extended release. Case report: We present a case of malignant catatonia developed in a patient with history of schizophrenia and developmental delay. Symptoms lasted several weeks as he was recently administered long acting injectable antipsychotic medication, requiring high dose Bromocriptine treatment. Patient required several days of bromocriptine treatment. Because of the shorter half-life, frequent and higher dosing of bromocriptine led to resolution of malignant catatonia. Malignant catatonia is a medical emergency and prompt treatment including high dose bromocriptine could lead to resolution of catatonia.

Published: March 2021

Introduction. MRI is widely used to follow-up malignant neoplasms of the female pelvis. Aim. To optimize the use of MRI sequences for follow-up of female patients with malignant pelvic neoplasms. Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of female pelvic MRI has been performed on 1.5 T MR scanner. This study includes 530 protocols. Results. The authors describe different protocols for assessment and differential diagnosis of recurrence, postradiation and postoperative changes. It includes applicable sequences, axis and the structure which require evaluation. In all cases, dynamic follow-up has to include analysis of patient's previous studies, anamnesis, previous treatment, as well as the end of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. All of the above, combined with the oncologist's treatment of choice determines the objective of this study. Nowadays, MRI is the method which most accurately characterizes postoperative and postradiation structural changes. MRI is useful in detection of pelvic lymph nodes. The role of MRI has high potential in assessing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Conclusion. In order to make the optimal scan protocol, follow-up of malignant neoplasms of the pelvic organs in women require the use of clinical and anamnestic data along with the results of patient's previous studies. The combined use of various sequences and techniques can improve the diagnostic significance of pelvic MRI at follow-up. Contrast enhancement has additional role in diagnostics of recurrent of pelvic organs in women. The use of different contrast enhancement techniques has proven effective in case of postradiation and postoperative complications.
Climate Change and Emerging Vector-Borne Diseases in India
Authors: Bordoloi Bobita , Saharia Samujjal
Published: March 2021

Climate change is considered as one of the greatest threats to human health by the World Health Organization. Climate change occurs as a result of both natural and human causes which directly impacts human health through extreme climatic conditions, air quality, sea level rise etc. There is an increasing evidence about the impact of climate change on Vectorborne Diseases (VBDs). Vector-borne diseases account for over 17% of all infectious diseases. Environmental change disturbs the ecological balance thus changing the context within which disease hosts or vectors and parasites breed, develop and transmit disease resulting in the emergence and re-emergence of different VBDs. India is endemic for six major vector-borne diseases namely Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Visceral Leishmaniasis, Japanese Encephalitis and Lymphatic Filariasis. If we fail to reduce the adverse effects and adapt to climatic change then future changes are likely the same. Therefore, a better understanding of climate change and its effects on public health is necessary. Emphasis should be laid on new strategies for the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases. We collected secondary data from published articles, journals and reports on this issue to discuss the impacts of climate change on VBDs. This review aims to discuss the distribution, reasons of emergence and reemergence of important VBDs and its association with climate change highlighting the changing epidemiology of the most important VBDs in India.The objective of this review is to summarize the studies conducted to examine the association between climate change and VBDs and to give suggestions for future research directions.

(LACE and BOOST) in predicting unplanned hospital readmission. Methods:
Data were collected from a single centre prospectively over a continuous
30-day period on all patients over 75 years old admitted to the acute
medical unit. The primary outcome was the area under the curve for both
models. Results: Area under the curve were calculated for both tools
with BOOST score 0.667 (95% CI: 0.559-0.775, p=0.005) and C-statistic
for LACE index 0.685 (95% CI: 0.579-0.792, p=0.002). Conclusion: In
this prospective study, both the BOOST and LACE scores were found to be
significant predictive models of hospital readmission. Recent
hospitalisation was found to be the most significant contributing
factor. Key Words: Elderly, prediction, readmission
Significant seasonal variations in the rate of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes: A observational single centre study of 28,128 women

Objective To test the hypothesis that there is seasonal variation in the
rates of gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosed using a 2 hour oral
glucose tolerance test. Design Monthly assessment of the percentage of
women screened from 1st April 2016 to the 31st December 2020 who were
diagnosed as having gestational diabetes Setting London Teaching
Hospital Population 28,128 women receiving antenatal care between April
1st 2016 and 31 December 2020. Methods Retrospective study of
prospectively collected data. Main Outcome Measures Proportion of women
screened diagnosed as having gestational diabetes. Results The mean (SD)
percentage of women diagnosed with GDM was 14.78 (2.24) in summer (June,
July, August) compared with 11.23 (1.62) in winter (p <
0.001), 12.13 (1.94) in spring (p = 0.002), and 11.88 (2.67) in autumn
(p = 0.003). There was a highly significant positive correlation of the
percentage testing positive for GDM with the mean maximum monthly
temperature (R2 = 0.248, p < 0.001). There was a statistically
significant 33.8% increase in the proportion of GDM diagnoses from June
2020 onwards, possibly related to a reduction in exercise secondary to
the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusions There is a 23.3% higher rate of GDM
diagnoses in the warmer summer months. There has been a 33.8% rise in
GDM diagnoses associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Authors: Maitanmi Stephen O. , ADETUNJI OLUWATOFUNMI , Joshua Abimbola
Published: March 2021

The essence of this paper is to evaluate the practice of cashless policy that was introduced almost a decade ago in Nigeria. It was discovered through literature that the security threats of ATM users and the inappropriate use of POS is at an alarming rate. The paper used a structured questionnaire as a means of data collection and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the use of mean, median, and percentage. The results indicate that the awareness level is almost globally known however, there are still more technological devices and development that is needed for Nigerians to be considered among the top 20 economies by the year 2020 to drive development and modernization of our payment system in line with the Nigerian vision. Based on the findings some recommendations made were: POS should be approved only for the unbanked areas, panic alert buttons should be included in the ATMs, comprehensive insurance should be available for ATM cash hijackers.
Points of You: Is archaeology becoming a bullshit job?
Authors: Almansa-Sánchez Jaime
Published: March 2021

It was summer, I was searching for new books for my to-read pile and I came across Graeber’s latest work, Bullshit jobs (Graeber 2018). Right after buying it and reading the short essay it started with, I posted a question on Twitter: “Is archaeology a bullshit job?” Instantly, he answered—without even quoting him in the tweet—that it was not because people valued it. I did not want to engage into a debate, but the question stayed in my head, as I was not so convinced. He suddenly died a few days later. The book was next in my pile and I compulsively finished the one I was reading to start with it as soon as possible. Now, with a forum about the future of public archaeology in this celebratory volume, I thought it would be timely to add this opinion piece to celebrate his memory and wake up.
Indigenous views on the future of public archaeology in Australia

This paper was written in response to a request by the editors of the AP: Online Journal of Public Archaeology, Jaime Almansa Sánchez and Elena Papagiannopoulou, for Claire Smith to write on the future of public archaeology in Australia. In Australia, public archaeology focusses on high profile colonial sites such as The Rocks in Sydney (Karskens 1999) and Port Arthur in Tasmania (Steele et al. 2007; Frew 2012), tourism (e.g. Cole and Wallis 2019) or enhancing school curricula (Nichols et al. 2005; Owens and Steele 2005). However, given her decades-long relationships with Jawoyn and Ngadjuri people (Smith 1999; Smith et al. 2016; Smith et al. 2020), Claire Smith decided that a useful way of approaching this topic would be to obtain Indigenous views on the subject. Accordingly, she contacted the Aboriginal co-authors of this article and invited them to co-author the paper. The possibility to write in free form was a boon. The ‘conversation’ format we settled on was designed to facilitate the voices of individuals, to present a range of Indigenous views, to allow people to express their views frankly, and to deal with the constraints of people being located in different parts of Australia as well as occasional lock-downs due to COVID-19. We decided on five topics/questions that would be the basis of the conversation. Each Aboriginal author gave their views either by email or by phone. These views were interwoven into a ‘conversation’. The language has been edited lightly for clarity and to simulate a real-life conversation. The final text was approved by all authors.
Dealing with a hangover of Public Archaeology: Scattered thoughts on the Italian ‘Archeologia Pubblica’
Authors: Benetti Francesca
Published: March 2021

Public Archaeology is a young discipline, we all know that. It’s even younger in Italy, where public archaeology has not even reached ‘adulthood’. Cited for the first time by Armando De Guio in 2000 (De Guio and Bressan 2000), it was only a decade later that Public Archaeology has started to become ‘a thing’, thanks to some pioneering experiences at the University of Florence (Bonacchi 2009; Vannini 2011), and especially after a national conference in 2012 (in Florence: see Zuanni 2013 for a summary). Italian archaeologists’ first reaction was to overlap the new discipline with the experiences already in place, which in Italy were under the category of ‘valorizzazione’ (enhancement). They were not exactly the same: while Public Archaeology is characterised by a reflection on the objectives of the research from the very start, a focus on having a reliable methodology, and a strong element linked to evaluation, ‘enhancement’ experiences – while often valuable and successful – lacked the same structure and reliability. This is probably due to an underestimation of these practices as a scientific topic, thus deserving the same structure required for any other type of research. Often this resulted in a mere description of the activities carried out, with a generic objective like ‘increasing the knowledge of archaeology in the public sphere’ without really evaluating if the activities worked or not. Public Archaeology became a sort of a trendy subject, outdating the term ‘valorizzazione’, at least in most of the university milieu, and creating confusion on the subject and the methodology. This sometimes has led to a sort of ‘hangover’ effect, similar to what happens with summer songs: they sound fun when you first hear them, but after months you just want to move on! Few doctoral theses awarded in Archaeology have been devoted to topics related to Public Archaeology up to the present date and the risk is that after this ‘hangover’ the subject will be penalised in comparison to others.
When divulgation reaches us
Authors: Delgado Rubio Jaime

In 2018, Mexico held its presidential election; its results soon clearly indicated that the left-wing candidate, with a degree in political science and a fierce critic of the ruling political system, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, would become President. Following his triumph, many cultural organizations, unions and employees of the field jubilantly celebrated what they thought would mean a strengthening of cultural policies and a kind of return to the years of President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río who put archeology, indigenism and culture at the heart of his government policies.
Archaeology for the public in Greece minus/plus ten
Authors: Lekakis Stelios
Published: March 2021

It must have been around ten years ago, when I was invited to present my -shaky then but promising- progress of PhD thesis at the University of Athens, on social and economic trends in heritage management, discussing island cultural resources and the role of the interested communities. I remember myself at the end of my talk, standing in front of a bewildered and intrigued (in equal doses) audience, only to experience the -somehow- apologetic comment of the organising professor to the audience: “I see that we need to look into these things now, that all became science”. I have talked about this memory elsewhere in detail (Lekakis 2015) mainly to pinpoint that even though 40 years of concrete bibliography have then lapsed -McGimsey, for example, produced his seminal volume in 1972- there was still a lack of information about the concept and practices of public archaeology, at least in the Greek academic context.
After the Pandemic: Reflections from an uncertain present on the futures of public archeology

Published: March 2021

There are moments in history, perceived both individually and collectively, in which proposing to imagine—even project—becomes an apparently unattainable task. 2020 took us socially unprepared and, although in some places the current situation is deeply serious while others feel more tolerable, we have a total uncertainty about the future. We can consider that the information that allows us to visualize the indicators leading to situations like the current one is available. However, not all of us have the tools to interpret them, and the voices of those who do have them are not echoed strong enough, unlike those who in spaces of power, political or economic with the means and will to bring fear to wide sectors of the population.
