“…Using digital tools to engage the local community in protecting and promoting the values of cultural heritage is gaining more and more attention [13,48]. Digital technologies can improve conservation and preservation techniques, enrich archives with interactive media, mapping heritage with Geographic Information System, augment participatory experiences, promoting communication among stakeholders, and deepening the understanding of the cultural attachment [63,64].…”

During the last 20 years, with the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), an emerging interest has appeared in Digital Community Engagement (DCE) in the process of cultural heritage management. Due to a growing need to involve a broader community in the Historic Urban Landscape approach, social media are considered one of the most important platforms to promote the public participation process of urban heritage conservation in the context of rapid urbanization. Despite the growing literature on DCE, which has delivered a general overview of different digital technologies and platforms to enhance heritage conservation, little research has been done on taking stock of the utilization of social media in this process. This study aims to fill the research gap by providing a more comprehensive picture of the functionalities of social media platforms and impacts on sustainable urban development through a systematic literature review. As a result, 19 out of 248 DCE relevant articles are selected as objects to illustrate the contribution of social media. The study identified the characteristics of these applied social media tools, explores their roles and influences in cases. The article concludes with directions for further research.

“…Sarah Kenderdine writes compellingly of the ways in which a sense of connection to animated objects and sites is achieved in exhibition spaces designed as theatres of synaesthetic experience (Kenderdine 2013;Kenderdine et al 2014;Kenderdine 2018). These sorts of interventions, 'applied to the kinds of heritage associated with high levels of cultural significance in national and international heritage regimes' (Jeffrey et al 2020), are instances of digital technologies being used to produce reconstructions, or put to use in what Katz and Tokovinine (2017) term 'experimental archaeology', testing hypotheses and re-creating imagined, or (rigorously) approximated, past forms and conditions. This is closely linked to the other broad category of use for 3D imaging which is the creation of facsimiles, replicas or reproductions -a practice often stemming from preservation objectives -wherein a high-fidelity surrogate is required to back-up or supersede, and thus ensure the survival of, the original.…”

High-fidelity imaging methods such as laser scanning and digital photogrammetry have captured public and professional audiences in a flurry of optimistic discourse about their capacities as forms of preservation and of archaeological recording and interpretation. With technical finesse and mastery, endangered heritage can, it is argued, be captured, re-materialized, and recovered from the forces that threaten it. As the plot concerning our ‘digital futures’ thickens, we discuss here an experimental project that offers an oblique approach to the practice of 3D visualization, one that subverts the dominance of neutral, technical field engagements. We examine digital materiality by exploring digital heritage objects as both method and site of ethnographic encounter. Orbiting the ruins of Asinou, an abandoned village in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, with our ‘low-tech’ equipment, we sought to observe the conditions of the ‘in-between’ of two makeshift forms, each as ‘real’ as the other. We focus our thinking on the tensions of translation that play on the surface of our technically crude digital assemblages, as spaces of generative potential for speculations about encounters with emerging digital materialities, their affective capacities and status as future heritage objects.

“…Further to the official archives and narratives are the unofficial, 'othered' heritages that centre on the rock and surrounding landscape. Recently one aspect of this heritage was explored as part of the ACCORD project (Jeffrey et al 2020). Part of this project engaged with the climbers and climbing heritage at Dumbarton Rock, known as 'Dumby', with the aim of expanding the official heritage narrative and surfacing the additional layers of engagement with the landscape (Hale et al 2017; National Record for the Historic Environment 2014).…”

This paper conceptualises practice in the space between and beyond Art & Archaeology as a zone where disciplinary certainties and known practices are unsettled, expanded and recast. We will outline our current thinking about heritage landscapes as places and temporalities for engagement in the practice of what Henk Slager calls the para-archive. For us, landscape functions as a kind of living archive, however, following Jacques Derrida, we are sceptical of the privileged relation between archive, law and authority. Therefore, in this paper we will think through our interdisciplinary research in the context of the development of creative para-archives, which facilitate new, affective ways of thinking and making by bringing together the previously unimagined. Responding to the challenge of the SARS-CoV-2 discomfort zone, we seek to surface creative practices, activate archival disruptions and expand pedagogical approaches to the articulation of uncomfortable archival landscapes. The pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need to re-conceptualise visions of space, experiences of place and archival practices. During a virtual fieldtrip students accessed a range of materials from Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment. We aimed to enable the co-design and co-production of a virtual fieldtrip, followed by discussions about our collective conceptualisations of landscapes of discomfort. The archaeological fieldwork in the virtual realm provides a context for students to engage in desirology as a catalyst for deranging, re-associating and re-imagining the archive in creative ways.
