Saturday, October 18, 2014, 11am-2pm in Hewitt Hall and Fine Arts Commons, in the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center at Macalester College*
11am in Hewitt Hall: Stephen Cribari**
lecture on "'Monuments Men (and Women):' Cultural Property in Conflict
Today."
Today we are seeing how waves of
nationalism can lead to the destruction of cultural heritage and cultural
property when they are associated with memories of an undesired past, or fears
of an undesirable future, and yet museums are under great pressure not to
acquire art and antiquities with questionable histories of ownership even
though it may mean the destruction of cultural heritage and cultural
treasures. U of M Law Professor Stephen Cribari will discuss humankind's
tradition of cultural property depredation and consider how cultural property
is (or is not) protected from destruction by fear, greed for power and the
perils of the black market.
12-2pm in Fine Arts
Commons: “Students in Archaeology:
Poster Presentation of Recent Fieldwork and Research Projects Related to
