I Am a Tourist, Therefore I Have a Stake in Your Heritage | Andreas Pantazatos | TEDxLUISS
Through his personal experience as a tourist, Andreas Pantazatos, Co-Director of the Centre for Ethics of Cultural Heritage and professor at the Philosophy Department at Durham University, argues that tourists have an ethical responsibility towards heritage. In his fascinating Talk, he explains that, by sharing their experiences, tourists shape the meaning and the future of the heritage sites they visit and therefore become stewards of them.
His curiosity for how we deal with the past shapes his research and teaching interests. He is Co-Director of the Centre for the Ethics of Cultural Heritage and he teaches and researches normative and professional ethics at the Philosophy Department of Durham University, UK. His main interests are philosophy of cultural heritage and archaeology, ethics of stewardship, ethics of museum governance and trusteeship, epistemic injustice and cultural heritage. He shares his passion for these issues with his postgraduate students on the innovative module “Ethics of Cultural Heritage” that he designed a couple of years ago.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
2013'S ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATIONS AT SWORDS
Saint Patrick's Day is observed on March 17 both inside and outside Ireland, as both a religious and, especially outside Ireland, secular holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland, it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation; outside Ireland, it can be a celebration of Ireland itself.
Fingal Festival of Fire Swords
Located in the centre of the ancient town Swords Castle is a former residence of the Medieval Archbishop of Dublin. The extensive complex of buildings is in the form of a rough pentagon of 0.5 hectares and is enclosed by a perimeter wall of 260 meters.
The castle was constructed in a piecemeal fashion over a period of 400 years and became one of the eight manorial estates belonging to the medieval Archbishops of Dublin. Parliaments are even said to have been held in the great hall of the Castle. Swords Castle is the only fortified residence of the Archbishop of Dublin to survive in a reasonable state of preservation. The Castle is currently under restoration, the work is being carried out by Fingal County Council and FAS.
Swords Castle contains over 800 years of history and, as a recent surprising discovery of burials beneath the gatehouse shows, it has yet to give up all of its secrets. The castle was built by the Archbishop of Dublin, John Comyn, around 1200. It was not a castle in the accepted sense but an Archbishop’s Palace and administrative centre.
It is a National Monument, and it is the best surviving example of an Archbishop’s Palace in Ireland. The curtain walls enclose over an acre of land that slopes down to the Ward River. This complex of buildings is made up of many phases of reuse and redesign reflecting its long history and changing fortunes.
