DESCRIPTION:Talk by Prof. Lynn Meskell of Stanford University\n\nEngineerin
 g Internationalism: Colonialism\, the Cold War and UNESCO’s Victory in Nub
 ia\n\n \n\nMuch has been written about the Nubian Campaign\, from the hero
 ism and humanism promoted by UNESCO\, to the competing narratives of the F
 rench or Americans\, to Nubia as a theatre for the Cold War\, to individua
 l accounts by bureaucrats and archaeologists. Yet if one recenters UNESCO’
 s originary utopian promise\, coupled with its technocractic counterpart i
 nternational assistance\, then add the challenge of a ‘one world’ archaeol
 ogy focused on the greatest civilization of the ancient world\, there migh
 t be a new slant on a future in ruins. UNESCO entered into large-scale and
  transnational archaeology\, bringing field research into a monumental con
 servation project. While only fleeting\, and not entirely successful\, thi
 s foray into field archaeology would mark both its apogee and demise at UN
 ESCO. Archaeology would soon become the handmaiden of heritage\, subservie
 nt to the more calculable metrics of physical preservation and the marketa
 ble glamour of ancient monumentality.\n
