Session: HERITAGE in TRANSITION

Organizer: Laia Colomer (Linnaeus University, Sweden)

Abstract: We are living in an increasingly globalized world. People move,
settle and re-settle in different places and experience several cultural
landscapes, and in this process they re-shape their cultural identity.
People's movements affects people's sense of belonging to a place and a
landscape. What happens then to cultural heritage (monuments, artifacts,
places, landscapes) when people's cultural identities are in transition? Are
traditional concepts of national and local heritage valid to people in a
global transition? Heritage is undoubtedly affected by these movements, and
therefore it would need to redefine its position (values and uses) in a
world in transition.

The aim of this session is to explore how the significance and uses of
heritage are challenged and redefined in today's globalised society, in the
context of new views on concepts such place, identity, and community. The
session will explore the following issues (including cases studies):

o  The role of cultural heritage in a globalised world;

o  The heritage of a globalized culture (e.g. cosmopolitan urban heritage;
imaginary cultural landscapes; the role of popular/media culture in making
new (global) heritage);

o  The redefinition and (re)use of traditional forms of heritage in relation
to contemporary globalization (e.g. the role of the local and the national
in a globalised world; is there a human cultural heritage beyond each
national designations of UNESCO's WH sites?);

o  Appreciation cultural heritage on the move (e.g. the role of
international museums or global traveling exhibitions; the meaning of local
cultures in an international perspective);
