Subject: [Wac] New distance courses: Archaeology in popular culture and Rock Art in Northern Europe
Hello!
The University of Kalmar offers a small learning environment in pleasant and heritage-rich surroundings in south-eastern Sweden. Archaeology at Kalmar is small but expanding fast.
>From this autumn we are offering two brand new distance courses taught in English. You can study from home. No prior knowledge of the subject is assumed, and general qualification for Higher Education makes you eligible for the course. There are still places available.
-From Heinrich Schliemann to Indiana Jones: Archaeology as a Phenomenon of Popular Culture. - 7.5 higher education credits. Study period: September/October 2009 (part-time)
Course director: Cornelius Holtorf, University of Kalmar, Sweden
Welcome message: http://hik.emea.acrobat.com/p93821854/
This course explores the romance of archaeology in popular culture and is for everybody fascinated by archaeology. We start with a historical perspective discussing the popular meanings of archaeology and the phenomenon of celebrity archaeologists since the 19th century. Subsequently, students engage with several case-studies illustrating the way archaeology is portrayed in contemporary film, the media, fiction and non-fiction literature, art and advertising. In the final part of the course students learn assessing to what extent stereotypical portrayals of archaeology in popular culture are harmful or beneficial to both society and archaeology itself.

This course gives a broad introduction to the archaeological study of rock art in northern Europe, its cultural settings and chronology (from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age). It also introduces the student to the history of this research field and explores new theoretical perspective and interpretations. The course runs part-time over nine weeks, and invites the students to a non-obligatory excursion to one of the rock art areas within contemporary Sweden.
