1. ACT and Region Annual Australian Heritage Partnership Symposium 2012 – submissions accepted til Friday 1 June

ACT and Region Annual Australian Heritage Partnership Symposium 2012
Valuing Heritage: Advocating for community attachment in planning

Hosted by Australia ICOMOS, Canberra and District Historical Society, Canberra Archaeological Society, Donald Horne Institute for Cultural Heritage University of Canberra, Institute of Professional Practice in Heritage and the Arts ANU, and National Trust of Australia (ACT)

Date: Saturday 28 July 2012
Time: 8.30am to 5pm
Venue: Sir Roland Wilson Building Theatre, Bldg 120, ANU campus
Cost: $80 full, $60 members of the host organizations, $35 concession & full-time students

Themes

  • Social attachment to places – community values and memories: It is 12 years since the Burra Charter committed best heritage practice to involving community and cultural groups attached to and associated with places in their identification and management. How are heritage and planning systems faring in such inclusion of the relevant community groups? Case studies of community roles and issues are welcomed.
  • Archaeology, it’s not just buried in the ground – layers of time in landscapes and buildings: Reading the past, whether exposed across the landscape as evidence of past human activity, or in changes to buildings, is all part of ‘archaeology’ – what tools can help us identify less visible evidence of our heritage? Case studies of how community evidence (documents, photographs, stories) can assist are welcomed.
  • 21st Century Heritage Values: Are they different? Are patterns of attachment and value changing in response to recent technological and economic transformations of society? Are less government resources being allocated to heritage management? Is this pattern likely to continue? Do NGOs need to change their approach to heritage advocacy in response?

Call for Papers

Presentations are invited from heritage professionals, planners, Local Government, descendants of families with historical places under threat and anyone with an interest in the celebration of heritage places in the ACT and region. The anticipated time for each presentation is 20 minutes.

Due date for summaries: Friday 1 June 2012

Please send your ideas to Sally Brockwell via email or phone on (02) 6125-2217 for more information.

13. Executive Dean’s Lecture Series 2012 – The Annual Allen Archaeology Lecture

Until about 50 years ago it was believed by most scholars that Maya hieroglyphic inscriptions only discussed time and ritual,  and that they did not mention any historical individuals or events. Now it is recognised that many of the surviving inscriptions are historical records that document events in the lives of royal dynasts. An intriguing look at the role of Mayan hieroglyphs and the deciphering and understanding of the ancient Maya civilisation of Mexico and Central America.

Professor Peter Mathews specialises in the ancient Maya civilisation of Mexico and Central America. He has also taught at Harvard University, the University of Calgary, and the University of Copenhagen. He was awarded a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1984, and in 2002 was elected a Fellow of the Academy of the Humanities in Australia. Professor Mathews joined La Trobe  University in 1999 as an ARC Senior Research Fellow.

Time and Date

40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention (1972-2012)
The invention of the “Outstanding Universal Value (OUV)”
Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, France
14-16 November 2012

Deadline for Abstracts postponed until 10 June 2012

The University of Burgundy’s CIMEOS Laboratory, Georges Chevrier Centre and Maison des Sciences de l’Homme are organizing a two-day conference in November 2012 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention of UNESCO.

Inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List has become very fashionable nowadays with States wanting to identify, preserve and emphasise the value of cultural andor natural sites, and public demand for inclusion is on the increase. Recent developments have raised questions about the emergence of the concept of “Outstanding Universal Value”. When did this concept appear, what is its history, its possible difficulties and pitfalls?

Applying a critical and multidisciplinary perspective, the conference will use a range of approaches in order to understand the notion of universal heritage.

For information on submitting contributions and registering, visit the seminar website.

Submissions will be selected by an International Scientific Committee (peer review).
