ABSTRACT Museums increasingly contribute to public development processes that include the promotion of heritage values in everyday urban and rural environments, such as historical buildings, city structures or landscapes. In Denmark taking part in municipal regulation and planning activities in order to safeguard preservation worthy assets in the physical and built environment is a law-given task for museums. This study examined three cultural historical museums as they engaged in heritage promotion and communication processes in the Danish towns Houlkær, Dronninglund and Gedsted. Based on interviews, fieldwork and the analysis of heritage-promoting acts, such as an exhibition, a book, a preservation style guide and public talks, the analysis identify how certain stories, recipients, and communication strategies make up configurations of local heritage and local heirs. While the study found that all three museums strived to stimulate care for heritage values among the public, local heritage and local heirs were configured in numerous ways. Stories worked to configure local heritage as more or less unique or ordinary, scoped by a more or less synchronic or diachronic perspective, and balanced between material or immaterial presences. Local heirs were configured as either inhabitants of certain areas, private house owners or public authorities. Combining places, stories and people museums communicatively configured the local, while they engaged in safeguarding preservation worthy assets in their surrounding societies.

ABSTRACT Accessibility for visitors to World Heritage Sites is an important issue in heritage management; therefore, accessing heritage sites has been seen as a sensitive issue and facing important criticism. This research is intended to examine visitor’s accessibility to World Heritage Sites by analyzing the context of cultural, physical, and financial accessibility. One aim of this research is to critically examine accessibility for tourists to Petra-Jordan's World Heritage Site. The purpose of the analysis is to provide an understanding of accessibility and of its opportunities and constraints in Petra. Empirical data was collected based on site field work at Petra involving a visual inspection of the site in addition to interviews with tour guides and tourists. The findings of this study show that a shift in heritage management policy has been made from reactive approaches to a more functional approach, accessibility issues have not been completely addressed; the translation into action of practical comprehensive accessibility measures is full of both conceptual and practical difficulties. This research is the first of its kind conducted in Jordan and specifically aims at scoping accessibility at a national World Heritage Site.

ABSTRACT Marking the Aboriginal Tent Embassy’s fiftieth anniversary in 2022, this article adopts a historical perspective to examine the challenges encountered by Australian heritage regimes when attempting to recognize this site as a heritage place. First established in Canberra in 1972 on Ngunnawal land, the Aboriginal Tent Embassy reveals the material-discursive limits of Australia’s Burra Charter-derived values-based heritage regime in recognizing and respecting Indigenous rights, sovereignty, and protest. Recent attempts have been made to include the site on the Commonwealth Heritage List (2005), the National Heritage List (2008) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Heritage List (2015). That these nominations have not yet been successful suggests that heritage regimes of governance and management express settler-colonial ideology. Consequently, heritage becomes imbued with narratives of national identity and power and becomes a mechanism in maintaining settler-colonial dominance. This article proposes centralizing Indigenous agency as an alternative way towards formulating post-colonial heritage regimes and values-based conservation.

ABSTRACT Human rights discourses have significant relevance to contemporary understandings of heritage and its conservation, particularly in the context of the key international conventions for safeguarding the world’s cultural heritage promulgated by UNESCO. The right to heritage is recognized as a human right falling under the right to culture or cultural identity. However, states are the primary bodies responsible for heritage identification and conservation, and may prefer to preserve the heritage of dominant social groups. Heritage identification and management by states, including the nomination of items for inclusion on the World Heritage List of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage and the Representative List of the Convention for Safeguarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage, thus has the potential to compromise the cultural rights of marginalized social groups, including women. Existing research and original research discussed herein reveal a dearth of heritage associated with women on both Lists. However, the problematic gender dynamics of this discourse goes beyond simple representativeness to encompass the ways in which women and their heritage are portrayed. The Representative List typically seeks to maintain existing social relations, including gender relations, with negative implications for women’s human rights set out in the UN Convention to Eliminate all Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

ABSTRACT In this paper I present a case of visual repatriation amongst the Orochen ethnic minority in Northeast China. I describe what happens when a photo collection - the Ethel John Lindgren Collection at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge - is returned to a host community who are an officially-recognised ethnic minority in China and, as a result, are subject to particular policies, discourses, and funding strategies associated with cultural heritage (wenhua yichan). My main argument is that visual repatriation always has an “after-life” - or “after-lives” - and that there is a never case of pure visual or photoreturn. Instead, as I will show in the case of the Orochen, it is always mediated through an existing context of social relations, including particular hierarchies of authority and expertise, and refracted through culturally-specific notions of tradition, modernity, and value. While my ethnographic focus is on China and one specific ethnic minority, I suggest this has implications for other cases of visual repatriation and photo-return, particularly in minority, subaltern, and postcolonial contexts.
摘要本文介绍了一个在中国东北奥罗钦少数民族中进行视觉遣返的案例。我描述了当一个照片收藏——剑桥大学考古与人类学博物馆的Ethel John Lindgren收藏——被归还给中国官方承认的少数民族，因此受到与文化遗产相关的特定政策、话语和资助策略的约束时会发生什么（文华一禅）。我的主要论点是，视觉遣返总是有一个“余生”或“余生”，而且从来没有纯粹的视觉或照片转向的情况。相反，正如我将在奥罗钦人的案例中所展示的那样，它总是通过现有的社会关系背景来中介，包括特定的权威和专业等级，并通过传统、现代和价值的特定文化概念来折射。虽然我的民族志关注的是中国和一个特定的少数民族，但我认为这对其他视觉遣返和照片返回的情况也有影响，尤其是在少数民族、下层和后殖民背景下。

ABSTRACT This paper probes the process of heritage production in documentary films with a specific focus on the documentary film Taq Kasra Wonder of Architecture (Akbarzadeh, Pejman. 2018. Taq Kasra Wonder of Architecture. Amsterdam: Persian Dutch Network. www.taqkasra.com.), which tells the story of the pre-Islamic Persian/Iranian historical site of Taq Kasra (the Arch of Ctesiphon), presently located in Iraq. The paper situates the film within a broader context of documentaries about Persian edifices in the region and draws on primary interview material with the documentary maker Pejman Akbarzadeh. Through its analyses, the paper shows how, especially in the Iranian setting, a documentary film can engage and (re)produce heritage, and how, when compared to that setting, Taq Kasra exposes persistent aspects of cultural politics within the Islamic Republic since its establishment after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and Saddam Hussein’s policies. In doing so, it is argued that the film provides a mode of critical enquiry into heritage in current historical and political circumstances in Iran. The paper addresses a lacuna in both critical heritage and film studies, namely, the analysis and interpretation of the making of heritage in film and as film.

ABSTRACT This paper addresses issues concerning the Istanbul Land Walls Component Area, part of the World Heritage Site of the Historic Areas of Istanbul. The discussion focuses on the conservation status of the historic vegetable gardens (bostanlar in Turkish) in the area adjacent to the monument. The central concern is with the problematical situation, where the agricultural space and culture of the gardens are being denied heritage status, and are presently in the process of being destroyed. The immediate threat to the gardens comes from the forces of urban renewal projects that have been unleashed in Istanbul over the last two decades. It has been extremely difficult for various heritage experts and organizations to effectively challenge the commercial and political imperatives of urban regeneration. First, there is the issue of confronting an institutional and legal edifice with a singular commitment to urban renewal, characterized by an insensitivity to the complexities of urban sites. Furthermore, the core issue resides at the conceptual level, pertaining to the tension between an architectural and monumentalist approach to conservation, on the one hand, and an approach sensitive to cultural landscape, on the other. The fate of the bostanlar will depend upon some form of negotiation and reasonable accommodation between these two contrary perspectives.

ABSTRACT Architects, civil engineers, and other specialists planning modern projects in historical centers of European cities face extremely difficult historical and spatial conditions. They also come across technical problems related to the need to save valuable heritage assets consisting of historical buildings. These problems are most pronounced in cities that have suffered significant war damage. Such cities include Gdańsk (Poland), which was almost completely destroyed during World War II. Despite the successful rebuilding of the city by the post-war generation of builders, there are still empty spaces and quarters, as well as fragments of historic frontages to be filled in the old town of Gdańsk. This article presents several examples of modern developments designed to preserve and coexist with fragments of historic brick buildings. These building projects each faced a similar task; to save and display the historical urban fabric, but they differed significantly in how they chose to achieve that goal. Not all of the projects presented in this study meet the requirements of the Venice Charter equally well. In this field, the solution often means choosing the “lesser evil”. Each of the projects presents a unique example of interdisciplinary research used to solve complex construction problems. Numerical analysis using the finite element method (including the damage model based on plastic degradation adopted for brick walls)was carried out for one of the projects.

ABSTRACT The study defines quality pedagogical patterns for the design and development of archaeological heritage education programs. A literature review on heritage education, with special attention to the Spanish context, first outlines the theoretical framework starting from a general approach to heritage transmission theory and examining specific pedagogical methodologies in archaeology. The second part of the paper reports on a field study that identifies and analyzes best educational practices in Mediterranean archaeological sites and museums. After discussion of the results in the light of the theory, quality patterns for future program design are defined.
