Some of the videos from the TAG 2019 session organised by myself, @urbanprehisto & @MarkJamesHobbs are now live. Timely arrival to revisit still-current issues. Session was: "Mythical past, dangerous present: Challenging nationalism’s relationships with archaeology and history"

First up "God’s Chosen People: dangerous narratives in Early Medieval ‘history’" by @DuroDigDiaries

Video 2 "I said it once before but it bears repeating: heritage is not just about our ancestors" by @Boothicus (A good one about misrepresentation of archaeology & DNA studies)

Video 3 "Living pasts: emotions and heritage in the post-truth era" by Greg Judges

Video 4 "Music, nationalism... and Vikings?" by Bethany Hardcastle (can't find her handle, sorry!) This one is about the intersection of Metal and its various subgenres with archaeological themes

Video 5 "The assault on Holocaust memory and history: Holocaust denial and the Leuchter Report" by @MarkJamesHobbs examines how historians &archaeologists intervene to prevent the mendacious narratives of Holocaust deniers’ through public engagement:

Video 6 "The Romanian myths of origin and the postnational critique: challenging reactionary populism" by @emilyhanscam

All of these are really worth watching if you are interested in the connections between archaeology and nationalism. Huge thanks to all the presenters & my co-organisers for this session. They shall not pass.
