Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I stadsdelen Bergsjön i nordöstra Göteborg ligger en av göteborgstraktens största och bäst bevarade hällkistor. Platsen där hällkistan ligger är insprängd mellan Siriusgatans höghus och en fotbollsplan och ligger i en grön slänt med gamla fruktträd runt om. Platsen används mest av barnen i området som leker där eller kanske har besökt graven i 3e-4e klass då de har forntid på schemat i skolan. För de flesta människor som bor i området är det bara en hög med stenar som ligger i grässlänten. Men sedan 2018 finns här ny skyltning med platser att sitta på, belysning och en större tillgänglighet till hällkistan och platsens historia. Det är en fascinerande historia som rullas upp om en plats i förändring genom år�tusendena och inte minst den stora förvandling som skett på platsen de senaste 100 åren. Skyltningen har kommit på plats genom ett stort samarbetsprojekt mellan Göteborgs universitet, Familjebostäder och Park och Naturförvaltningen i Göteborg. Projektet har också fått stöd av Fornminnesföreningen i Gö�teborg, Göteborgs stadsmuseum och lokala fören�ingar i områd

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In a suburban area in the northeast parts of Gothenburg in Sweden, you can find the remains of a cist grave situated among many high-rise houses. Who cares about these remains today and who knows anything about them? Questions raised in the NEARCH project “Here I live” was how we could make a different kind of archaeological interpretation that could be of some relevance to inhabitants living in the area today. It is a multicultural region with people from about 50 different countries around the world: everybody with their own story. Could there be a theme and a story involving both present and past using archaeology and heritage creating a new meeting place in the area? People have been living here for 4000 years and this became the theme of the project. Who were those people and what stories can they tell and how do we include the present? A new kind of signage in cooperation with a landscape architect was designed with the purpose of being a gathering place for storytelling. The installation, which opened September 2018, offers opportunities of sitting down and moving around at different levels. There are panels with many stories and boxes with archaeological material. It is enlightened to be used also during evenings. At the panels, the children’s voices from different times are in focus since the site today mostly function as a playground for the children in the area. There is a pedagogical material published online for the schools so they can make use of the site as an outdoor classroom. Different projects connected to the interpretation is ongoing with local associations and the housing company in the area. This project is an example of how a different kind of interpretation might contribute challenging how to think about archaeology and heritage.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How can we create meeting places in public spaces? The EU based research project “Here I live” aims to investigate this. At an ancient site, with a chamber grave from the Stone Age, at Siriusgatan in Bergsjön a new kind of signage is to be set up at the site which strives to create a gathering place for storytelling. The stories will be based on the fact that people have lived here for 4000 years. Who were they? The children's voices are in focus. Grim, Isa and Frida tell us about living in the place in the ancient times. Gustaf and Britta tell in the 1920's and 40's. Major changes are on its way at the site and the Second World War is underway. Refugee camps are in the area then as now. In the early 70`s Zacke and his friends are moving into the new high rise houses and today's children tell how they are today. The project sets the question of how history and cultural heritage can contribute to being a resource in society. The creation of a digital platform related to the stories is a major issue of the project and is to be community based and interactive with the people living in the area today

Creative archaeologies II - continuing theory and practice in a new branch within the field of archaeology

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Heritage thinker Freeman Tilden (1957) claims that the chief aim of interpretation is not instruction, but provocation. Archaeologists in recent years have explored the potential for artistic practice to contribute to this kind of interpretation of the past. Last years organizers of the session “Creative Archaeologies” asked whether instead of continuing to reify the distinction between art and archaeology, we should rather be thinking in terms of new forms of creative practice. This session continues that exploration to create ground for a new kind of branch/network within archaeology; one called Creative Archaeologies. This workshop combines conventional lecture presentation, with film, video, installation, and performance to probe the depths of current creative practice in archaeology. These projects blur the boundaries between Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Natural Science and produce innovative archaeologies and unconventional outcomes. To define the approach participants consider existing projects, proposed creative acts, and reflections on creative practice’s impact on both archaeological and artistic thinking. What is creative archaeology? What are the implications of such a practice for the discipline? Creative archaeologies utilize new tools, frameworks, and venues to expand the impact of archaeological practice and reflect on its position within contemporary society. Moving beyond uni-directional collaboration in which an artist interprets archaeological work, and an archeologist reflects on the artist’s interpretation, this session invites projects in which creative practice intervenes at many stages and from many directions.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the suburban area Bergsjön in Gothenburg you will find an ancient remain – a stone Age chamber grave from about 1800 B. C. This suburb is considered one of the most troublesome within the city of Gothenburg. It is dominated by different groups of immigrants and there have been a lot of incidents of shooting and criminal activities in the area. There are also a high number of youngsters from this area that have joined ISIS. There is therefore a great need of supportive and positive actions and perspectives considering sustainability in this area.According to The Swedish Heritage Conservation Act heritage belongs to everyone, and protecting and preserving the historic environment is a responsibility shared by every member of society. But, the question is if anyone living in the area of Bergsjön today is aware of this and if the pile of stones matter to anyone living close to the remains. An experimental signage and interpretation project will take place during spring 2016 involving the children in the area, the housing company and others. An aim of the project is to make a place for storytelling and pedagogical activities for the schools and the inhabitants in the area and to make archeology a part of the local society for a sustainable future

Heritage in teaching and learning - the heritage bag

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Heritage is often associated with old buildings or objects in museums. The term has mostly been used, for example, to highlight a nation-building process in which each nation in each era decides what shall be classified as heritage and preserved for future generations. Some is chosen to be protected by law and looked after as a legacy for the future, while other things not chosen become invisible and lose value in contemporary society. Nevertheless, heritage is not just part of a nation-building process, it is also our own traditions, memories and experiences that we all carry within us. Heritage is nowadays discussed in terms of tangible heritage (buildings, objects, stationary ancient monuments), and intangible heritage (traditions, songs, skills in crafts, etc.). Heritage is also claimed to be in constant movement, that new heritage is frequently being created, and that it is a process that all humans participate in. My questions in this presentation is how to use heritage in teaching and learning and why it is important doing so. I will introduce a model of four spheres, which I have named PWNW (Personal, Wider, Nation and World). The model presented has been developed through a pedagogical exercise called “the heritage bag” and it is a result of many lectures, presentations and performances during the last 10 years. Through the model PWNW I claim that students, pupils and others participating in the Heritage bag exercise changes their perception of what heritage means and it has been proven to be an effective tool in teaching and learning about heritage in primary schools, high schools and universities as well as within informal learning situations.

"Kulturarvsväskan” –en metod för ett studentcentrerat och aktivt lärande

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här workshopen utgår från ett projekt som gjorts i samarbete mellan Institutionen för historiska studier och Institutionen för didaktik och pedagogisk profession. Projektet har i olika sammanhang både gemensamt och inom var sin profession undersökt hur studenters erfarenheter och berättelser kan bilda utgångspunkt för undervisningen, vara till inspiration för ett aktivt lärande och stärka studenterna i deras läroprocess.Vi har använt frågor om vad ett kulturarv är som en bas i övningen som har används i universitetsutbildningar och på gymnasienivå (Häggström & Synnestvedt 2011; Synnestvedt 2015). Kulturarv förknippar vi ofta med gamla byggnader eller museiföremål. En del väljs ut för att skyddas genom lag och vårdas som ett arv inför framtiden medan annat väljs bort, blir osynligt och förlorar värde i dagens samhälle. Kulturarv är inte bara en del i ett nationsbygge, det är också det vi alla bär inom oss av våra egna traditioner, minnen och erfarenheter och diskuteras i termer av ett materiellt kulturarv (byggnader, föremål, fasta fornlämningar etc.) och ett immateriellt kulturarv (traditioner, sånger, hantverkskunnande osv.)De flesta utbildningar inom Göteborgs universitet jobbar på något sätt i relation till kulturarv även om det inte är direkt uppenbart då vi till stor del är fastlåst i föreställningar om vad kulturarv är eller icke är. Vi vill öppna upp för ett bredare tänk kring begreppen då det är något som berör oss alla. Idén med projektet och övningen har ett tydligt bildningsperspektiv. Viktigt i övningen är också själva ”görandet”, det vill säga formen för undervisningen. Läraren är inte experten utan istället den ”okunniga” som ser studenterna som jämbördiga (Rancière 2011). En kombination av Rancires tankar och det hermeneutiska bildningsbegreppet utgör därmed en grund för att övningen är bildande (Gustavsson 2012). Vi kan också sägas ha en kulturell demokrati i den här typen av undervisning som vi förordar. Kulturell demokrati omfattar empowerment genom delaktighet i kreativa processer. Kulturpedagogik i demokratisk anda bidrar till att människor förstår inte bara sin egen kulturs utan även andra kulturers villkor och värderingar. Kan vi få studenterna att bli en aktiv del av och ta plats i samtidskulturen har vi kommit en god väg i vår strävan efter kulturell demokrati (Pringle 2008) Workshopen inleds med en introduktion till Kulturarvsväskan som teori och metod för att sedan innehålla en praktisk övning där sessionens deltagare aktivt får prova på hur det kan gå till vid ett undervisningstillfälle. Avslutande diskussion med frågor om studentcentrerat lärande, övningen deltagarna ”utsatts” för och dess möjligheter/begränsningar.
