The Ethics of Visibility:Archaeology, Conservation and Memories of Settler Colonialism
No full textThe visibility created by archaeology and heritage conservation brings ethical responsibilities derived from how visibility provides the ‘condition of possibility’ for strategies of power and control. But through their material endurance, heritage places also provide opportunities for strategies of resistance and for individuals and groups to seek ethical experiences of reconciliation, recognition and respect in terms of their own particular social justice concerns and identity politics. In settler societies, colonial archaeological remains can be approached as ‘imperial debris’-locations where we can examine the ‘the longevity of structures of dominance and the uneven pace with which people can extricate themselves from the colonial order of things’.</p
The Ethics of Cultural Heritage
No full textDebates about the ethics of cultural heritage in the twentieth century were focused on the need to establish standards of professionalism and on the development of the skills and expertise required for rigorously objective conservation. The ethics of cultural heritage have often been conceived of in terms of three types of responsibilities: to the ‘archaeological record’ (or stewardship), to ‘diverse publics’ (or stakeholders) and to the profession and the discipline. This volume builds on recent approaches that move away from treating ethics as responsibilities to external domains and to the discipline and which seek to realign ethics with discussions of theory, practice and methods. The chapters in this collection chart a departure from the tradition of external heritage ethics, to a broader approach underpinned by the turn to human rights, issues of social justice and the political economy of heritage, conceptualising ethical responsibilities not as pertaining to the past but to a future-focused domain of social action.</p

G. W. Ireland
No full text"A/B G. W. Ireland H.M.A.S. Platypus P.A. 1827. 1941 - 1943".Index to the location of names on the quilt ; A6Able Seamn G. W. Ireland. His Majesty's Australian Ship Platypus. P.A. 1827. 1941 - 1943.These patches were signed by people who visited the Northern Territory during the Year of Commemoration of the Bombing of Darwin, 1992, or who wrote from interstate or overseas during that year. The quilt measures almost five metres by three, and is designed to resemble a typical porcellanite stone wall as can still be seen on some old Darwin buildings. In addition to the names on the Quilt there are nurse's colourpatch, the emblem of the Civil Construction Corps and twenty pictures of sites which would have been familiar to people of Darwin at the time. Some of the buildings can still be seen today, whereas others have disappeared as a result of enemy action, Cyclone Tracy or the indomitable march of progress. The illustrations on the Quilt were based on photographs taken during the war years and now held in the collections of the Northern Territory Library. The Quilt was made by Jenny Armour, and took about 18 months of weekends and other free time to complete, using techniques of patchwork, applique, and machine embroidery and was quilted using 100% Australian wool batting
