A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to the Acquisition Disorder podcast, the show where we select a modern board game and use it as a jumping-off point to discuss museum practice, past and present, and colonial histories and legacies. In this first episode of our three-part series, we are digging deep into the popular tropes and (sometimes uncomfortable) realities of the archaeological world.What happens when you ask two professional archaeologists to play a game about finding ancient Egyptian “treasure"? Join host Izzy Bartley as she sits down with Kat Baxter, Curator of Archaeology at Leeds Museums and Galleries, and Nura Hassan, a bioarchaeologist specialising in East African pre-colonial history, to critique the hit game Archaeology: The New Expedition.In this episode, we discuss:The "Indiana Jones" Problem: How the game’s artwork and mechanisms perpetuate the colonial "White man explorer" trope and the image of the archaeologist as a "heroic" tomb robber.The Real Thief: A critical look at the choices made in how the thief and the player’s character are illustrated in the game, and the messaging these communicate.The Value of a Scrap: Why the word "treasure" is problematic and how seemingly mundane items like pottery shards or papyrus scraps often hold the most historical significance.People are not Objects: The evolving language of museums, the move away from the word "mummy," and the importance of restoring personhood to human remains.Repatriation and "Levels of Care": A candid conversation on the ethics of returning artefacts to their countries or communities of origin, and the myth that Western museums are the safest place for global history.So, grab your trowel and join us as we roll dice, shuffle cards, and geek out over great conversationsReferences and further readingYou can read a transcript of this conversation here and see the board game Archaeology: The New Expedition here.Archaeology: The New Expedition (game) on BoardGameGeekPortable Antiquities SchemeSutton Hoo (archaeological site)Kirkstall Abbey (museum)The Treasure Act 1996 (UK legislation)Jason Perez’s channel ‘Shelf Stories’ (YouTube)Why is Board Gaming so White and Male?
