3) UNITAR's 'Conservation for Peace'
Workshop, Hiroshima, Japan
"Conservation for Peace"
Hiroshima, Japan, 30 March - 4 April 2008
Dear Colleagues,
The UNITAR Hiroshima Office Series on the Management and Conservation on
World Heritage Sites aims to facilitate a better utilization of the 1972
UNESCO World Heritage Convention through providing support to national
policy making and planning, and information exchange on best practices
and case studies. Newly developed "values-based management" methodologies
are applied in all the aspects of natural and cultural heritage
management.
The fifth workshop of the Series will be organized from 30 March to 4
April 2008 in Hiroshima, Japan, and will focus on the potential
implications and roles of heritage in the promotion of peace,
reconciliation and reconstruction in war-torn, post-war and post-disaster
societies. Study tours to the two World Heritage sites in Hiroshima - the
A-Bomb Dome and Itsukushima Shinto Shrine - will provide a living
laboratory and direct learning opportunities.
Specifically, the workshop will:
- Review the basics of the
World Heritage regime, available information, updates and current trends;
- Elucidate the underlying
principles of values-based heritage management, with a particular focus
on peace-building;
- Consider the role of heritage
in war-torn, post-conflict or post-disaster situations;
- Examine leading policies and
strategies, identifying best practices and lessons learned;
- Create long-term management
plans for sites, utilizing nomination dossier or periodical reporting
formats;
- Enhance long-term learning
and exchange among the participants.
Participants will be selected from actual or potential heritage site
managers; natural/cultural conservation specialists and trainers; and
decision makers and government officials within national world heritage
administrations, i.e. Ministries of Environment, Culture, Forestry or
Tourism. Priority will be given to representatives from post-conflict
countries/sites affected by man-made or natural disasters. Some slots
will also be made available to national academic institutions,
think-tanks and civil society.
We would like to ask you to submit the names of suitable candidates to
participate in the training workshop for final selection by an ad hoc
selection committee. UNITAR scholarships, given in priority to least
developed country participants, will cover tuition fees, travel,
accommodation and meals. Candidates from industrialised countries are
welcome to apply - they are requested to obtain financial support from
their own countries/organisation but may be accorded an exemption of the
tuition-fee. Number of places being limited, those wishing to apply
should send their application package as soon as possible and no later
than 31 January 2008.
Please refer to our website
http://www.unitar.org/hiroshima/ for more information. Should you
have any questions, please contact Ms. Hiroko Nakayama at
hiroko.nakayama@unitar.org
, or Mr. James Short at

thank you in advance for your assistance in the nomination/information
dissemination process.

4) 'Living with Nature: Heritage
Negotiation in the Face of Disasters' - call for abstracts
We welcome abstracts for the WAC-6 Session 'Living with
Nature: Heritage Negotiation in the Face of Disasters', organized by
Benjamin Morris (USA) and Trinidad Rico (Argentina). This session is part
of the Theme 'Our Changing Planet: Past Human Environments in Modern
Contexts.'
Session Abstract:
As the complex combination of material cultures and immaterial practices
handed down from the past to contemporary cultures, heritage has usually
been linked to disaster in the context of war and conflict. Only recently
have scholars begun to explore the internal and external negotiations of
heritage in the aftermath of a natural disaster, recognizing that the
issues facing heritage in crisis cannot be generalized to all forms of
crisis. Taking up archaeology's concern with interactions between humans
and nature, and the way they shape landscape, material culture and
ideology. We invite the examination of the role of heritage as
reconciliation with nature. As entire populations are disrupted and
reassembled after crisis, the crisis therefore becoming an integral part
of those populations' identity and culture, how does this process
manifest itself both in material and in practice? Do cultural activities
or institutions established after disaster mitigate or reinscribe risk
back into the human-environment interaction?
We propose an exploration of the destruction, creation and re-creation of
this relationship, using the tangible and intangible geographies of
natural disasters as a point of departure. We ask, what forms does a
'culture of disaster' take? What does it mean to have a heritage of
loss?
We invite papers that explore mechanisms past and present of the
commemoration of disasters and the articulation of 'negative heritage',
as well as papers re-evaluating the boundaries of 'nature' and 'culture'
and their impact in the reinvention of tradition. Also stressed in
these mechanisms is the role of agents and arbiters in the creation and
conservation of heritage -archaeology and conservation, development and
aid, to mention a few. These need to be examined along both historical
and ideological axes, and embedded in questions of the cultural, social
and political limits of local and foreign involvement. In crafting the
heritage of and after disaster, is it helpful to disentangle a
distinction between insiders/outsiders? Finally, what are the long-term
implications of these developments for the fields of archaeology and
conservation? How could these answers aid in the understanding and
improvement of modern disaster management?
Format: 15-20 minute paper, discussion to conclude
Contact: bam32@cam.ac.uk and
trico@stanford.edu
Deadline for submissions: 19 February 2008
