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 james.short@unitar.org. We 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
