Document Summary
The subject of the study is archaeological open air museums and historical re-enactment. 2014 archaeology and communication with the public: archaeological open-air museums and historical re-enactment in action. Archaeology, open-air museums, historical re-enactment, poland, society events that took place between 2011 and 2012 in poland. The author asks how archaeological open air museums and re-enactment events communicate (history) to the public. The author looks at how the simplifications about history made by historical reenactors make communication of history through the historical re-enactment ineffective. Kobialka also looks at how communication is about dual dialogue and establishing and maintaining social relations. The author uses ethnographic participant observations in the form of 20 interviews with visitors to the museums and re-enactments. One thing i drew from this reading is that history is oversimplified by the re-enactors for the public, but this is not the best way of communicating history.
