Title & Content

Title:
Engendering strategies for the dissemination in archaeological sites and museum
Content:
In recent years, museums and archaeological sites have become reference places and spaces of memory in which ideas about different categories of identity are transmitted, although not always with the necessary care in terms to gender and age. This session aims to gather experiences throughout Europe both related to strategies for the visibility of gender and age identities and relationships in museums and archaeological sites, and referred to the way of constructing gender discourses and representations in museum and site interpretation practices. We aim thus to gather papers and researchers interested on critically reflect on the creation of content, and especially, in the application of new technologies and digital media: websites, apps, or the use of social networks in museums and archaeological sites, from a gender perspective.
