DESCRIPTION:The paper examines the history of the rediscovery and reinterp
 retation of the Crusades during the modern colonisation of the Mediterrane
 an. More particularly\, it will closely examine the photographs and drawin
 gs of Cyprus made and collected by the French medievalist Camille Enlart i
 n 1899 on a government sponsored research mission. These visual archives c
 an be used to rewrite the history of heritage in Europe from the margins b
 y reinserting a perspective that is both imperial and transnational\, and 
 that connects the history of art and archaeology with that of the history 
 of medicine. But these images are also useful in transcending a focus on n
 ational and imperial rivalries by reflecting about how to connect the publ
 ic uses of heritage sites\, with more intimate\, embodied\, sensory\, pers
 onal appropriations.
