The constitution, organisation and development of the LaPa unit is, in itself, a strategic objective of this plan. Its origins are in the LAr (Laboratory of Landscape Archaeology), which was created and developed at the IEGPS (Padre Sarmiento Institute of Galician Studies) through the Strategic Plan 2006-2009. The growth of the LAr, the expansion of its research subjects, the increasingly stronger orientation towards Heritage studies (already included in the existing SP), and the active incorporation of researchers from the ...
Eurasia: current issues of cultural heritage, 2020
Over the past 150 years, active work has been carried out to form the basis for the restoration and preservation of the objects of art that bear a specific cultural code of humanity as a whole and each nation individually. Despite the fact that the first restoration work known to us today, were held around 1400 BC, states and leading statesmen did not attach due importance to the preservation of the heritage of the past for many centuries. The author of the article considers topical issues of development of a unified new science of cultural heritage preservation-Klironomy-and the definition of theoretical sciences that should become the basis for the formation of a new scientific field. The sciences of culture and art based on philosophical thought have already created the necessary foundation for the formation of a separate complex of Cultural Heritage Sciences rather than a scientific trend. The author concludes that the preservation of cultural heritage has long outgrown the conditional study of individual areas of activity-restoration, conservation, renovation and revitalization. In the early 21st century need to this question to look from a new perspective and to consider the preservation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage as part of cultural and art sciences, and some complex science.
Heritage for the Future, Science for Heritage, A European Adventure for Research and Innovation
2022
In this article, written within the framework of the European Curbatheri-Deep Cities project, we explain our thoughts on new ways of approaching the conservation of urban heritage in the cities of Barcelona (Sant Andreu) and London (Woolwich). Although special emphasis has been placed on historical methods to describe, interpret and evaluate the urban heritage defined by historical transformations, less attention has been paid to the way in which the knowledge and uses contributed by society can be integrated. In this sense, the use of different ethnographic methodologies as an instrument for fostering dialogue between stakeholders.
A Companion to Heritage Studies, 2015
Heritage and heritage studies have evolved in quite astounding ways over the last sixty years. Nobody could have imagined when the Venice Charter (ICASHB 1964) jumpstarted the heritage profession in the aftermath of World War II that there would be a veritable heritage boom in the 1990s, and continuing into the twenty-first century. Who would have predicted that so much attention would now be paid to protecting environmental features, material culture, and living traditions from the past, or the vast numbers of community members, policy-makers, practitioners, and scholars engaged in caring for, managing, and studying heritage? Who would have foreseen the explosion of heritage-based cultural tourism, the reconfiguration of heritage as an economic asset, and a World Heritage List comprising of more than a thousand properties spread around the globe? This volume seeks to investigate the story of expansion in heritage and heritage studies. Containing 37 chapters commissioned from 44 scholars and practitioners from 5 continents, it is designed to provide an up-to-date, international analysis of the field, the steady broadening of the concept of heritage and its social, economic, and political uses, the difficulties that often arise from such uses, and current trends in heritage scholarship. Starting from a position of seeing "heritage" as a mental construct that attributes "significance" to certain places, artifacts, and forms of behavior from the past through processes that are essentially political, we see heritage conservation not merely as a technical or managerial matter but as cultural practice, a form of cultural politics.
Heritage Management- Important Element of Future Studies
Heritage is something with which we are born. We are the custodians of our heritage, and today, when we are deliberating a lot on subjects like future studies, heritage management becomes a very important part of that study. The most important reason to include heritage studies for the future generation is that we cannot deny our past or shape our future without looking back. This chapter discusses heritage, its important attributes, how it connects the past to the future, and some of the ways and means to sustainably carry forward heritage management for the betterment of today's life.
