ABSTRACTThe paper engages directly with ‘Xuefang Liang’s Embroidery Art Exhibition’ held at the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders as a departure point for investigating the narrative presentation of the Nanjing Massacre through artistic practice. The exhibition uses embroidery images to tell the stories of foreigners who established the Nanking Safety Zone to protect and help refugees during the Nanjing Massacre. The materiality and cultural significance of the embroidery art is used to enrich and better interpret the meaning-making space of the trauma narrative. Meanwhile, embroidery exhibits, as the material expression of the human factors in intangible cultural heritage, are critical to generating emotions from intimate contact between objects and people. Further, the visitors’ prior sensory memories facilitate the embodiment of emotions, which in turn provides ways to strengthen the visitors’ ability to derive meanings from museum engagement.KEYWORDS: Embroiderythe Nanjing Massacretraumatic narrativesensory memories AcknowledgementsThanks to Yi Wu from The Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders for grateful help.

ABSTRACTAnthropology and critical heritage studies share a rather negative view of the role of bureaucracy in heritage management as utilised by the international community in post-conflict regions. However, fieldwork findings among ethnologists working as expert bureaucrats in four Western Balkan states (Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina) suggest that the ongoing process of the ‘bureaucratisation’ of collective identities, based on UNESCO principles, holds more promise for successful conflict management than relying solely on day-to-day politics or a purely academic critique. The safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage has emerged as a powerful tool for redirecting identity-based conflicts towards abstract concepts such as ‘elements’, ‘lists’, and ‘registers’. These abstractions are less susceptible to suffering than real individuals. Consequently, this approach offers a greater chance of success in mitigating conflicts. Anthropology’s most significant contribution to the global implementation of the heritage-for-peace paradigm could be to reconcile with ethnology, despite any disciplinary incongruity that may arise.KEYWORDS: Intangible cultural heritagepost-conflict reconciliationbureaucracyWestern balkansanthropology vs. ethnology AcknowledgementsThe fieldwork activities in the Western Balkans, and the knowledge-to-policy aspects of this research, were funded through the Civil Society Scholar Award 2019/20 by the Open Society Foundation.

AbstractThe article presents the results of the ‘Labour Heritage Thesaurus’ project which aimed at applying concepts in the area of anthropology and work history to the practice of cultural institutions.

This article explores a recent trend in Estonian museums – the increase in the auxiliary collections against the background of the general slowdown in the development of the main collections. The article demonstrates that the rise of auxiliary collections occurred because of the tension between the regime of eternal preservation supported by the national heritage practice and the new museum practice of active collections implemented by the museums. Based on a study of 20 state-administered museums, the article examines the ambivalent status of the auxiliary collection by juxtaposing its legal and practice-based conceptualisations. The article will demonstrate that auxiliary collections confer on museums the necessary buffer zone to navigate the state’s regulations and the lack of resources. In the context of the eternal preservation regime, an auxiliary collection is a liminal collection waiting to be made meaningful by administrative, curatorial, and preservation processes. However, auxiliary collections tend to dominate exhibitions and programs that understand heritage as emerging through active co-creation and sensory engagement. The rise of the significance of auxiliary collections can be anticipated vis-à-vis the national heritage repository plans as they offer solution for museums to maintain their relevance in the local communities.

ABSTRACTAmong the most important sociocultural phenomena of contemporary global societies, immigration brings significant changes to all areas of immigrants’ life (family, profession, and quality of life), impacting their cultural identities, including identity associated with their language use. As migrants need to be understood in the languages they are proficient in, receive instruction in the destination language, and access essential services understandable to them, language becomes an indispensable agent of migration. In this context, our paper examines the impact of migration on the linguistic behaviour of immigrants, and recognising the pivotal role of language in facilitating the integration of immigrants into host societies. The study focuses on the circumstances Romanian immigrants within Belgium’s multilingual milieu, illustrating the dimensions of the identity crisis they grapple with.

摘要作为当代全球社会最重要的社会文化现象之一，移民给移民生活的各个领域(家庭、职业和生活质量)带来了重大变化，影响了他们的文化认同，包括与他们的语言使用相关的认同。由于移民需要被理解为他们所精通的语言，需要接受目的国语言的指导，需要获得他们所能理解的基本服务，语言成为移民不可或缺的推动力。在此背景下，我们的论文研究了移民对移民语言行为的影响，并认识到语言在促进移民融入东道国社会中的关键作用。这项研究的重点是罗马尼亚移民在比利时多语言环境中的情况，说明了他们所面临的身份危机的各个方面。数据分析表明，移民在移民的语言行为方面产生了持续的变化，这一方面是由于他们希望融入东道国，另一方面是由于他们对原籍国文化遗产价值的依恋。关键词:移民文化认同语言罗马尼亚移民比利时致谢我们非常感谢比利时那慕尔大学的合作伙伴:Sabine Henry教授，Catherine Guirkinger和Elisabeth Henriet教授的支持。我们也感谢所有在比利时定居的罗马尼亚受访者参与了这项研究。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者感谢罗马尼亚研究、创新和数字化部，项目1 -国家研发系统发展，子项目1.2 -机构绩效- RDI卓越资助项目，合同号[11PFE/30.12.2021]，提供资金支持。作者简介:smihaela MOCANU, alexru Ioan Cuza大学高级研究员，Iași跨学科研究所所长。她拥有语言学学士学位，比较文学和文化人类学硕士学位，并在Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași哲学、社会和政治科学博士学院和计算机科学博士学院获得联合博士学位。她是文化遗产跨学科研究中心(IRCCH)研究小组的创始成员，该小组包括来自人文和社会科学领域的研究人员，其主要目标是调查欧洲背景下的国家文化遗产。在全球化和人口流动性日益增加的背景下(https://erris.gov.ro/Interdisciplinary-Research-C-3).Anca-Diana BibiriAnca-Diana Bibiri是Iași“亚历山大·伊万·库萨”大学跨学科研究所社会科学与人文学系高级研究员。2009年获文字学博士学位，并获清华大学语言学博士后，主要研究领域为:韵律学、语音学与方言学、计算语言学、自然语言处理、词典编纂、社会语言学。她参与了不同的研究项目，涉及韵律和语调、自然语言处理、建立罗马尼亚电子语料库以及移民的社会文化影响。

A comprehensive understanding of water systems across space and time is key, both for sustainable urban development and heritage preservation. However, so far, a clear methodology that links the exploration of the past and the protection of heritage properties to the design of the future is still missing. We argue that an exploration of heritage through the lens of water systems using a narrative approach can facilitate the understanding and protection of heritage properties and connect heritage protection to water system thinking. In this research, we established a methodology to collect, code, categorise, and interpret the descriptions of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage properties created by state members and approved by UNESCO to better understandthe role that water systems currently play in the identification and protection of heritage properties. Based on our findings, we argue that adding water to the analysis of heritage can help overcome the ‘culture-nature’ divide. It can also facilitate the systematic thinking necessary for understanding the historic role of heritage properties and facilitating their protection. A water narrative approach can give due recognition to indigenous water narratives in heritage identification and value assessment. We stress the need for a new water awareness and water narrative, considering the input of a wide range of stakeholders to help develop shared strategies for how to identify, treat, utilise, and manage water resources and make them an inherent part of the balanced and sustainable development of historical waterfront cities. The UNESCO Historic Urban Landscape approach and the World Heritage Canopy offer potent tools to tackle current challenges and to emphasise the importance of the new narrative and contribute to its composition.

This article explores the possible relationships between critical heritage studies and interculturality. It argues that interculturality offers a call to action and normative commitments that is welcome to advance critical heritage studies. The article examines the intersections across the two fields using the ideas of normative engagement, status of the two fields in liberal political discourse, and the notions of recognition and redistribution as goals of historically oppressed groups. The article uses the examples of Indigenous and Afro-descendant heritage to connect heritage to the work of interculturality in attempting to create and promote better polities. The article then discusses some of the potentials and pitfalls of closer alignment between the fields of interculturality and critical heritage studies.

ABSTRACT Transforming social perceptions of those repressed by the Soviet regime in the late eighties, prompted urgent action to deal with difficult Soviet heritage, especially with landscapes of the dead buried in mass graves. However, human engagement in transforming these traumaspaces revealed that these landscapes had already been transformed by non-human actants - plants and trees – often as witnesses to the crimes themselves. Therefore, in planning their commemorations, human memory activists had to negotiate the landscape with non-human actants and often attribute some human significance to the memory work they performed. This article discusses how Soviet traumaspaces were slowly transformed from non-human commemorations to commemorations meticulously planned by humans. From the very beginning, these human commemorations used both religious and secular languages. However, when the state actively engaged in the commemoration of the victims of Soviet repressions after 2015, a new constellation of power relations between civil society, the Russian Orthodox Church, and the state emerged, which, over time, led to the appearance of post-secular commemorations.

ABSTRACT Oral histories are a critical source of information about lived experiences of past events. They have been analysed both for their form – linguistically as texts, performances, and expressive accounts – and their content for understanding historic events and personal experiences. Here we focus on sentiment analysis approaches frequently applied to big data research questions, but less often utilised by anthropologists working with oral histories. Oral histories collected half a century ago in the anthracite mining communities of northeastern Pennsylvania are examined by considering methodological and historical questions. This project explores how oral history and data science might be productively combined to understand these now historic communities’ everyday lives and working conditions. Bakhtin’s (1981) concept of chronotope helps us understand the memory of these anthracite coal mining communities’ daily life and working conditions.

ABSTRACT Produced, distributed, and consumed in a de-territorialised way, modern popular music presents a set of challenges to cultural heritage policies which largely rely on spatial frameworks, as needs for the preservation of local, regional, or national cultural heritage are typically highlighted. Moreover, certain popular music genres dating back to the mid-20th century are both representations and re-inventions of local and ‘folk’ or ‘traditional’ music and have become a part of many living heritage practices. Slovenian folk-pop (FP) music is a case in point: a modern genre in terms of history and production conditions, nationally registered as intangible cultural heritage. This article offers an analysis of how FP music is integrated into authorised heritage discourse in Slovenia, foregrounding the results of extensive interviews with 14 heritage gatekeepers, such as organisers of FP festivals and curators of thematic museums. The article discusses how operational definitions of FP as heritage, used by various gatekeepers that operate locally, regionally, and internationally deviate from the definition provided in the national intangible heritage register. The analysis traces how discourses about national and cultural identity get intertwined with music and establishes that gatekeepers’ understandings of culture as either territorialised or dynamic significantly impact their heritage activities.
