Description
Summary:This article presents an analysis of the way in which the work and the memory of Finnish anthropologist Hilma Granqvist and of her French hostess Louise Baldensperger have been incorporated in Palestine in a cultural heritage project on the peasant past of the village of Artas, where Granqvist's ethnographic fieldwork took place at the time of the British Mandate. This cultural heritage project inscribed the memory of these two European women in a local "tradition of encounter", in order to try to attract tourists and international cooperation agencies. Adapted from the source document.
