 1) ICOMOS 16th General Assembly, Canada - Coordinating Australian Delegates and 'Quebec Queries'

The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has asked Timothy Hubbard to coordinate the delegates from Australia who will be attending the 16th General Assembly in Quebec. This is important for several reasons and was a great success at the last GA in Xi'an. It is important for the formal voting for key positions at the highest levels which must take place at the GA, the appointment (if necessary) of delegates to administrative positions during the GA, and for arranging social functions. It will also help with the distribution of last minute information about travel and accommodation. We plan to have another 'Australian Dinner' during the GA. Please contact Timothy Hubbard, preferably by email on timothy@heritagematters.com.au or by phone on (03) 5568 2623 during office hours. It would help if you can indicate if you have submitted an abstract and are already a member of an International Scientific Committee or plan to attend a meeting as an observer at one of the ISCs. We are also interested to know the names of anyone travelling with members. Timothy will also try to answer detailed questions about the GA.
 
Members should watch the GA website at http://www.conferium.com/Clients/icomos/en/02_nouvelles.htm closely for the latest news. Registration, which costs CDN$450 for those members over 30 years and CDN$300 for those 30 years and younger, is not yet open. If you intend to take advantage of the GA discount rates for hotels, you must book through the ICOMOS GA web site when you register. The limited places are likely to fill quickly once registration opens. If you are on the delegates email list you will be notified ASAP that registration has opened.

Finding the spirit of place
 
This is the main theme of the Scientific Symposium
 
Wherein lies the spirit of place? In order to answer this question, we suggest examining the relationship between spirit and place, between the tangible and the intangible.
 
It is often assumed that the spirit of place emanates from one or the other, as stemming from either the physical object or from the specific uses it serves. Some believe that it is the product of the genius of its creator, who leaves a permanent mark on the place - the creator being an individual, a group, a community, an ancestor or even a supernatural being - while others think instead that it originates from the place itself, which instils meaning in both its creator and its users. However, these approaches tend to present spirit of place as an essence, as something singular, permanent and static.
 
Rather than dissociating "spirit" from "place", the tangible from the intangible, and considering them as being opposed to one another, we invite participants to explore the many ways in which the two interact and mutually complement one another. Spirit, as the intangible genius of the creator, leaves a permanent impression on place and gives it meaning whereas the place itself, that is to say the tangible, nourishes the spirit of its creator and helps define the creation. We wish to broaden the discussion to include not only the creator but also the actual users of place, and define place as being a combination of both tangible elements (the features of the site, the buildings, the material objects, etc.) and intangible elements (oral traditions, beliefs, rituals, festivals, etc.). When considered as a relational concept, the spirit of place takes on a plural and dynamic character, capable of possessing multiple meanings, of changing over time and of belonging to different groups.
 
This dynamic perception of the spirit of place is also better adapted to today's world, to the present-day global village, which is characterized by major transnational population movements, increased intercultural contacts and the emergence of pluralistic societies.
 
The Scientific Symposium will be structured around four sub-themes or topics of discussion.
 
1.   Re-thinking the Spirit of Place
2.   The Threats to the Spirit of Place
3.   Safeguarding the Spirit of Place
4.   Transmitting the Spirit of Place
 
 
**************
 
Finding the spirit of place in World Heritage sites: Aboriginal approaches in perspective
 
A special workshop that will be held on 1 October 2008
 
For thousands of years, indigenous groups on five continents have frequented recognized places to carry out rituals or undertake communication with the powers, entities, or spirits who reside at or pass through these places.  Many of these places are integral parts of cultural landscapes with tangible or intangible evidence that are a tacit witness to past actions by their ancestors, or are a manifestation of the supernatural powers embedded there.  For visitors to these landscapes, they emanate a particular atmosphere or ambiance that can in part reveal the substance, the intrinsic nature, which allows one to speak of the "Spirit of Place". 
 
Today, many of these sites of international importance have been commemorated as World Heritage sites, and it is the responsibility of the authorities in charge of their management to bring forward elements that speak to this rich ancestral or spiritual dimension, to present the spirit of place.  This approach, however, is not always easy and obliges those responsible to assess the different values that are in play, whether they be social, religious, political, scientific, historic or otherwise, so as to bring out the spirit of place without diminishing it, to match the expectations and interests of the indigenous groups who are connected by history, tradition or covenant, and to permit access to the general public according to codes (protocols) which yet remain to be better defined. 
 
A dialogue between the groups concerned is needed to find ways to achieve this many-faceted goal.  With this in mind, the organizers of this workshop invite members of indigenous groups from around the world to join with First Nations, Inuit and Metis in Canada to participate in reflection and discussion on this theme as it relates to World Heritage sites, along with members of ICOMOS and Parks Canada.
 
As part of the Scientific symposium held on the occasion of the General Assembly, which will take place in Quebec City in late September and early October 2008, this workshop aims to provide a platform for representatives of the diverse indigenous peoples of the world who will come to present the idea of the spirit of place at World Heritage sites from the point of view of their cultures and traditions. The hope is that at the session's conclusion, there will be substantial documentation available to produce a publication that can present new philosophies and approaches to improve the integration of aboriginal spirit of place in the management and interpretation of World Heritage sites.
 
 
**************
 
International Forum of Young Researchers and Professionals in Cultural Heritage
 
27 - 28 September 2008
 
"Finding the Spirit of place" This is the question that we will seek to answer during the International Forum of Young Researchers and Professionals in Cultural Heritage taking place at the Ecole des Ursulines de Quebec (Canada) on 27-28 September 2008, just prior to the 16th ICOMOS General Assembly (29 September to 4 October).
 
The Forum is aimed at young researchers and professionals from all fields of study (architecture, urban planning, geography, ethnology, archaeology, history, arts and literature, etc.) who graduated less than five years ago and who, thanks to their research and work, share a common interest in heritage. Participants are invited to examine the concept of spirit of place in relation to the construction of memory, and the protection and transmission of heritage.
 
The Forum will provide the opportunity to assess the draft Declaration on the Spirit of Place that will be tabled for adoption at the ICOMOS General Assembly. Discussions at this forum could have an impact on the content of the Declaration. Young people are thus invited to share their experience and express their views and concerns about the spirit of place, with the goal of providing a new perspective on this subject, which plays a fundamental role in the protection and transmission of heritage.
 
Context
The main objective of the Forum is to determine the attitudes that need to be adopted and the approaches and methods that could be developed to ensure that the spirit of place is integrated in the process that leads to the recognition of the historic value of certain objects and practices and of the imperative need to ensure they are protected.
 
General theme
Spirit of place remains central in the presentation and valorisation of tangible and intangible heritage. But how can it be identified and brought to the fore? This issue will be at the heart of the discussions conducted throughout the two-day forum, which will be structured around the following sub-themes:
1.           
The role of memory:
            The focal point of the first workshop will be the acknowledgement of the role played by memory in defining the spirit of place.
2.           
The fragility of spirit of place:
            The second workshop will analyse the various causes of deterioration to heritage sites that pose a threat to its spirit.
3.           
Safeguarding and transmitting the spirit of place:
The third workshop will enable participants to examine the stakes underlying the strategies used for protecting and valorising heritage sites so as to determine which avenues are most likely to bring to light their inherent spirit.
 
Forum program
Four speakers will be invited to present the theme under discussion at the beginning of each workshop; these introductions will be followed by round table discussions. Participants can submit their papers in the form of posters (poster session) and are also invited to take part in a friendly design competition that will be held during the Forum. The working languages of the Forum are English and French and simultaneous interpretation in these two languages will be provided for oral presentations and the round table reports. Assistance may also be offered to participants who speak another language, notably Spanish.
 
Call for papers
The organizing committee has announced a call for papers, the details of which are now available on the Forum Web site at http://quebec2008.icomos.org. The Institute for Cultural Heritage at Universite Laval in Quebec City will publish a selection of the best papers.
 
Registration
Participants must register using the on-line registration form that will soon be available on the Forum Web site. The registration fee for the Forum is $100 CDN. It is strongly recommended that you also register for the ICOMOS General Assembly and International Scientific Symposium, which will provide the backdrop for the Forum, as the Forum organisers are offering participants who wish to attend both events an exceptionally low price. The registration fee for the two events combined is $200 CDN. For youth who do not wish to participate in the Forum, the registration fee for the General Assembly only is $300 CDN.

Financial support to attend the 16th General Assembly
 
The ICOMOS International Secretariat has again obtained a generous grant from the Getty Foundation so that it can support attendance of delegates from countries facing serious financial difficulties at the 16th General Assembly and Scientific Symposium. This grant will be managed jointly with the funds available in the Victoria Falls/Mosi-oa-Tunya Fund.
 
The criteria and conditions for receiving individual support have been sent to all the eligible National Committees.
These grants are not reserved for National Committee Presidents but open to all the members from the eligible countries depending on whether they fulfil the conditions required. However, due to the limited funding available we are usually only able to support one member per Committee at most and so we advise Committees to put forward only a limited number of candidates following consultation among their members.
 
To obtain the application dossier or for more information contact your National Committee or the ICOMOS International Secretariat (Volker Zimmermann)- zimmermann@icomos.org. Applications for financial support must reach the International Secretariat by 25 March 2008.
 
 
**************
 
Post-conference study tours
 
The West, the Centre, the Maritimes and Charlevoix
The post-conference tours are not yet finalized but we are getting close. The main objectives of our strategy are:
 
-        To provide a limited number of high-quality study tours focusing on relevant conservation themes that will appeal to heritage professionals from different regions of the world as well as from within Canada. We are seeking an appropriate balance of conservation-based presentations and discussions, fun social and cultural activities, and travel and "down" time.
 
-        To provide a forum for discussion about relevant conservation achievements and challenges related to Canada's World Heritage sites, sites on the World Heritage tentative list, National Historic sites, provincial sites, national and provincial parks, and cities.
 
Please keep in mind that Canada is the second largest country in the world and spreads over five and a half time zones. Travelers will therefore need to make choices.
 
We are working on the following post-conference tours:
 
The West - A five or six day study tour that will take you to southern Alberta where you will discover some outstanding World Heritage Sites, the spirit of place, natural heritage, cultural landscapes, aboriginal heritage, and modern heritage.
 
The Maritimes - A  five or six day study tour that will take you to Nova Scotia where you will discover the spirit of place, natural heritage, cultural landscapes, historic urban landscapes, aboriginal heritage, Acadian heritage, Gaelic heritage, French heritage, and military heritage.
 
The Centre - A five day study tour that will take you to Montreal and Ottawa where you will discover the spirit of place, cultural and urban landscapes, historic and contemporary architecture, the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site, and Canada's capital.
 
Charlevoix - A one or two day tour that will take you along the Saint Lawrence River to the Charlevoix region near Quebec City where you will discover the fiery colors of Canada's fall as well as typical historic villages, art and traditions.

3) Presentation Reminder - Managing heritage in the wake of war and conflict in Cyprus
 
Tuesday 4 March from 4:30pm, Deakin University
 
Presenter: Susan Balderstone
Adjunct Professor, Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific, Deakin University

In the wake of a Greece-inspired coup against the Greek Cypriot President of Cyprus in 1974, the Turkish military occupied the northern third of the island and continues to do so. Ethnic communities are still separated: Greek Cypriots moved to the south and Turkish Cypriots to the north. This paper covers issues raised by the bi-communal conservation projects resulting from the European Union's Partnership for the Future Programme being implemented by the United Nations Development Programme. The projects require co-operation between mutually distrustful, fearful and disdainful communities for the sake of common objectives  social and economic well-being. Cyprus has apparently opted for conflict management rather than resolution, with both sides focused on achieving prosperity. Heritage conservation has become a tool for peaceful co-existence and mutual pride. Initially the projects involved places of shared heritage rather than places reinforcing the separate cultural identities of the communities. Loss of cultural identity is a concern of both communities. Ongoing operational issues derive from the illegality of the Turkish government in the north and the repercussions of this for international aid. The paper explores the professional challenges related to these issues and their possible resolution.

There is no entry charge and everyone is welcome.

Venue: The Blue Room, Building B Room 2.20, Deakin University.

5) Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts: Media Release - Heritage Honour for Stone Hatchet Quarry
 
An ancient Aboriginal stone hatchet quarry of immense importance to Central Victoria's Wurundjeri people has been given the nation's highest heritage honour - inclusion in the National Heritage List.
 
Australian Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, said the 18-hectare site provided stone tools that were essential in the daily lives of many Aboriginal communities.
 
"Mount William tells us how this prized 'currency' was made and used in trade for thousands of years," Mr Garrett said.
 
"Stone hatchets were very important to Aboriginal people, used to split tree trunks to find honey, cut off sheets of bark for huts and to shape wood into shields and spears.
 
"The site was one of the largest and most intensively-worked Aboriginal quarries in Australia. The Wurundjeri mined the greenstone, shaped the hatchet heads and exchanged them for possum skin cloaks and fine wooden spears.
 
"Aboriginal people travelled hundreds of kilometres to obtain the prestigious stone hatchets of Mount William."
 
During the mid-1800s it was recognised as a special place that had been used by Aboriginal people well before European settlement. In 1855 naturalist William Blandowski described the site as 'a celebrated spot' which supplies Aboriginal people with stone.
 
"I'm delighted to help give the site the recognition it deserves, with a place in the National Heritage List," Mr Garrett said.
 
National Heritage Listing ensures places are protected for future generations under the Australian Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999.
 
The List showcases natural, historic and Indigenous places of outstanding heritage value. It reflects the story of our development as a nation, our spirit and ingenuity and our unique, living landscapes.
 
Mount William is the 77th place in the List, joining 20 other Victorian sites including the Budj Bim National Heritage Landscape, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Royal Exhibition Building. For more information and high quality images visit www.environment.gov.au/heritage.
