GML Heritage ACT | Book Launch Experts in the World Heritage Regime: Between Protection and Regime | Luke James | Published by Palgrave Macmillan | 5.30 pm 25 Nov 2024
GML Heritage and Australia ICOMOS invite you to the ACT launch of Experts in the World Heritage regime: Between protection and prestige by Luke James and published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Including a discussion with leading experts:
Dr Greg Terrill – former head of Australia’s World Heritage Committee delegation
Prof Laurajane Smith – Head, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies at Australia National University
Dr Sarah Titchen – Director Natural and First Nations Heritage, Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water
Date: Monday 25th November 5.30pm for 6.00pm
Location: GML Heritage, 2A Mugga Way Red Hill
RSVP: Essential by 21 November to rsvp@gml.com.au
About the book
Experts in the World Heritage regime argues that the UNESCO World Heritage regime emerged as a Faustian pact between protection and prestige, and a productive tension between these elements remains at its core, embodied by the heritage expert. Tracing experts’ practices in the World Heritage regime, this book shows how they burnish, broker and themselves benefit from World Heritage prestige. As World Heritage prestige also contributes to states’ international status claims, the stakes are raised, with both the denouement of the pact and the future for World Heritage poised between condemnation and redemption.
About the author
Luke James is a heritage studies scholar, lawyer and heritage practitioner specialising in World Heritage and international conservation governance. Luke is Lecturer, Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies at Deakin University and previously worked in the Australian Government’s International Heritage Section, with UNESCO and as a heritage consultant.
