Archaeology, media and dominant ideology in today's Romania
Archaeology, media and dominant ideology in today's Romania

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper I focus on the results of the collaboration between journalists and archaeologists, taking as case studies two Copper Age tells. I will examine how journalists and archaeologists build upon the remote past an ideological discourse confirming and legitimizing liberal capitalism. I will argue that for the sake of the “visibility” offered by the written press, the archaeologists directly or indirectly confer a “scientific”, “objective” aura to the dominant ideology.
