Love the way you are working through the strange temporal operations of "heritage" and the discomforting fantasies that go along with how people claim it. So glad you have posted this and look forward to the future blog postings! (And thanks for mentioning that #Kzoo2014 paper of mine; I might indeed chime in with a related blog post down the line.)Jonathan Hsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214201468052661183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-25134372066320736702014-08-13T16:37:38.450-04:002014-08-13T16:37:38.450-04:00This looks great, Karl.

I've been thinking about immediacy and heritage in the context of the (only!) two neolithic sites I managed to get to in France: Pech Merle, which has to be one of the great aesthetic sites on (or in?) the globe, and Lascaux II, which is both mind-blowing and a replica. What's at stake in the representation of 20k year old images inside a fake cave? I suspect that the Europeanist discourse that you're tracking via the Vikings also shows up in the history of cave art in southwest Europe. "Authentiicity" is a slippery label, even in the clearest of cases.Steve Mentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927244468764583378noreply@blogger.com
