3. If you could read my mindlove
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie’
Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
If I could read your mindlove
What a tale your thoughts could tell.
Just like a paper back novel
The kind the drugstores sell.
Then you reached the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me.
But heros often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending 's just too hard to take!
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a threeway script.
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out of me.
But for nowlovelet's be real;
I never thought I could feel this way
If you could read my mindlove
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie’
Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me

Who gets burned in a threeway script.
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out of me.
But for nowlovelet's be real;
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back.
If you could read my mindlove
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie’
Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet.
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'd know that I'm just
Tryin' to understand the feelin's that you
lack.I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't
get it back!
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelin's gone
And I just can't get it back.

Gordon Lightfoot:
If you could read
my mind

4. 1. Gordon Lightfoot “If you could read my mind”
Storytelling
In the footsteps of….
Empathy, emotion, feeling, compassion
Universal structures in stories
Heroes, fairy tailes, books, castles
But on the other hand (about the risks)
“ I don’t know where we went wrong, but the feeling’s
gone
and I just can’t get it back”.

5. Auguste Rodin. 1879-1889
The Thinker
Ratio, science
Biology, and neurosciences
Stories as pictures
Nakedness: universality
But on the other hand:
The thinker is worrying;
he thinks but does not
do anything else

6. Michelangelo 1475–1564
of Adam (fresco) Sistine chappel, the Vatican
Establishing contact
The “almost”-feeling
If Adam was a dolmenbuilder
Then God and the apostles are the different sciences involved
(Multi-disciplinarity)
Story without words
But on the other hand:
The fingers do not touch eachother. So:
1. Will they ever reach eachother?
2. They will reach eachother
3. We see a retreating move
What is the most plausible scenario

7. Empathic Archeology:
possibilities
1. Prehistoric sensation
2. Prehistoric biographies
3. Profiling of a prehistoric culture
4. Scientific debate

8. Empatic
Archeology:
The content
1. Prehistoric Images:
TRB (funnel goblet) culture
in our own time:
Looking back in time, what
image do we see of the
dolmenbuilders

9. Image: Jouke Nijman

10. Image: Jouke Nijman

11. 2. Focus on researchers
How do we try to come in touch with the dolmenbuilders.
The archaeologist as:
An adventurer
A protector of ancient things
As a detective
As a traesure-hunter

12. Adventurer A protector of ancient artefacts

13. As a detective As a traesure-hunter

14. 3. Stories and means:
Oek as a childrensbook
Arin as a comic-book
Oek as a movie, TV-series,
musical, interactive
website,
music-DVD
Empathy on ‘related lives’

16. 4. Scientific research and
debate

17. 5. New media: the still is on the move

18. 6. Experimental Archaeology:
Building and filming

19. 7. Living history / re-enactment
