2. [NEW ITEM] STILL MORE UPDATES! Heritage Symposia, Port Arthur tour, Open House Hobart: 9-12 November 2018

Australia ICOMOS Heritage Symposia
Exploring Cultural Landscapes & Science Heritage
Initial Information & Call For Papers
Hobart, Tasmania, November 2018

Australia ICOMOS is holding two back-to-back Symposia in Hobart over 10-12 November 2018. The Cultural Landscape Diversity & the Implications for Management Symposium (10-11 November) and the Under the Microscope – Exploring Science Heritage Symposium (11-12 November) are timely fora to review and discuss the identification and management of these two aspects of cultural heritage – one an established, but rapidly developing area, and the other relatively invisible and little known. A joint symposia field excursion on Sunday 11 November will present symposia participants with the opportunity to visit some outstanding and diverse Tasmanian cultural landscapes and science heritage sites within southeastern Tasmania.

More information on the two symposia (including the full call for papers) can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

 

(Don’t forget the) Call for papers, which has now been extended to 15 October

The deadline for submissions is now Monday 15 October. Submissions should be sent to the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email, and should include the presenter’s name, contact details and affiliation, and an abstract of no more than 250 words of your proposed paper. The full call for papers can be found at the Australia ICOMOS website.

This is a rare opportunity to discuss cultural heritage in a Tasmanian setting and to visit some special and unusual Tasmanian heritage places. We welcome your participation.

If you have any queries about the symposia, please contact the Symposium Coordinator, Anne McConnell by email.

Open House Hobart, 10-11 November: even MORE reasons to come to Tassie!

This year, Open House Hobart will coincide with the Australia ICOMOS Tasmania Symposia – a great opportunity to combine your travels south to Hobart! Open House is about showing off secret places to architecture fans, mystery lovers and sticky beaks. Coming to Hobart Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 November. The program will be launched next week but to keep ahead of the events, tours and booking, visit the Open House Hobart website and register for the newsletter to ensure you don’t miss out.

 

Port Arthur Historic Site – Pre-Symposia Tour Opportunity

One of the eleven sites that make up the World Heritage listed Australian Convict Sites, the Port Arthur Historic Site comprises more than 30 convict-built structures and substantial ruins in a picturesque and relatively undisturbed landscape of 136 hectares. The extensive suite of structures and their layout reflect the importance of the penal station, its self-sufficiency and the evolution of penal practices over several decades.

The Port Arthur Historic Site can also be seen as part of a broader cultural landscape of the Tasman Peninsula that provides an insight into the use of convict labour for production and punishment.

Symposia delegates are invited to visit the Port Arthur Historic Site on Friday 9 November for a pre-symposia tour. You will need to organise your own transport. Port Arthur is around a 1.5 hour drive from Hobart. Arrive at the Site at 10am for a guided tour of the site with conservation staff – highlighting some of our recent conservation projects and research, followed by a light lunch and time to independently explore the site before returning to Hobart. There is no cost involved.

Contact Vicki Skeggs (03) 6251 2339 for reservations.

With many thanks to our Port Arthur Historic Site colleagues for their very generous offer.

 

Symposia publication update

Australia ICOMOS will be publishing the presentations from each of two symposium as digital ‘Symposium Proceedings’ (ie. one for each symposium) if sufficient papers are received for publication. This approach has been taken to ensure that the valuable and largely review-type comment presented in each of the symposia can be accessible as a set of proceedings on the relevant themes without undue delay. An early-mid 2019 publication date is envisaged.

11. [NEW ITEM] The Thrill of the Dark conference, 25-27 April 2019, UK – call for papers

The Thrill of the Dark: Heritages of Fear, Fascination and Fantasy
25-27 April 2019
Birmingham, UK

Call for papers deadline: 31 October 2018

Over recent years there has been tremendous interest in ‘dark heritage’ and associated ‘dark tourism’ but still we struggle with the powerful attraction of the darkness, the thrill it can provide, where (and if) we draw boundaries around its commodification, its representation, and the experiences we seek from it. This conference seeks to explore the multiple relationships we have with the concept of darkness, and asks:

·         How is the thrill of darkness expressed through the widely framed notion of heritage?

·         How do we experience, negotiate, represent, commodify, valorise or censor the heritages of darkness?

·         What and where is the thrill of the darkness and how is it negotiated across cultures, generations and gender?

We invite researchers from the fullest range of disciplinary perspectives to consider these and other questions in an open-ended and thought-provoking manner.

Organisers
Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage, University of Birmingham UK, in partnership with the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage and Management Policy, University of Illinois, USA and Department of Ethnology/Critical Heritage Studies Network, University of Stockholm, Sweden.

Workshop invitation: ‘Linking Architecture, built environment and heritage’, 16 October, Bond University, QLD

Bond University invites you to their 2018 Bond Research Week workshop.

‘Linking Architecture, built environment and heritage’
Tuesday 16 October, 2018
10am – 12.30pm
Bond University, Building 3a, Living Lab

As we progress towards sustainable local, national and international communities it is imperative that heritage knowledge plays a vital role in shaping the future. In simple terms, heritage is integral to all aspects of the built and natural environment, be it architecture, design, planning and development, as well as environmental science or construction management. It represents our shared experiences and provides opportunity for people to learn through history as well as understanding the values of place, building, site or monument.

This two-hour workshop provides an opportunity for practitioners in the architecture, built environment and heritage field to discuss the contribution of heritage as a core in the understanding of sustainable architecture and built environment.

This is a free public event. Please register here by Thursday 11 October 2018 to secure your place for this event.

The Trust Talks – Beauty or the Beast? Communicating the Value of Twentieth Century Heritage, Brisbane, 18 October 2018

THE TRUST TALKS – Beauty or the Beast? Communicating the Value of Twentieth Century Heritage

THE TOPIC

Join us for an evening of inspiring talks by international experts on modernist heritage as we examine the value of this much-maligned aspect of our heritage.

Queensland’s twentieth century heritage is rapidly disappearing – places from the modernist era struggle to even gain statutory listing. A lack of appreciation and understanding is hindering our efforts to gain recognition for these places.

In this environment, how should we communicate the value of a type of building that many people find ugly or unattractive – more importantly – if we can’t communicate this value, how can we expect people to appreciate it or protect it?

THE NIGHT

Thursday 18 October 2018
5pm drinks & canapes
6pm start
7.30pm finish
Ticket price includes drinks and canapes on arrival and a gift bag

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja, 25 October, NSW

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja
Presented by the Australian Garden History Society, Southern Highlands Branch
Thursday 25 October 2018

Australian Garden History Society Southern Highlands Branch are pleased to present a symposium to be held in an evocative state-heritage area, Joadja Creek valley, 30kms west of Mittagong, the location of an abandoned nineteenth-century kerosene and shale oil mining town. The site is recognised for its heritage significance:

‘The isolation and beauty of Joadja valley, the comprehensiveness of its physical testimony to a great Australian industry, a vigorous Scottish community and a vanished technology make Joadja an extremely important element in the heritage not just of Wingecarribee Shire but of Australia and the world.’ – State Heritage Register Statement of Significance.

After a Welcome to Country by Gundungurra Elder, Trish Levett, a barbeque lunch will be provided on arrival in the valley. Owner Valero Jiminez and historian, Leonie Knapman, will take you on a tour of the valley including the ruins, the retorts, ‘Carrington Row’ and former orchards. Discussion will continue in the distillery café, led by Professor Emeritus Helen Armstrong AM. The particular focus will be on time and conflicting narratives of ‘gardening’ in the broader landscape. Dr Charles Massey OAM, author of ‘Call of the Reed Warbler’, will bring his deep knowledge of regenerative attitudes to land.

Heritage Reporting Survey – invitation to participate: deadline 16 November

Have you ever wondered how Australian heritage is reported in the annual reports of those organisations taking charge of them? Do you believe a monetary value should be placed on the heritage items/place? Getting an answer to these sort of questions is the aim of this survey.

This survey is carried out as part of a PhD study aims at investigating the relationships between stakeholder information needs and heritage information disclosed by the Australian government bodies in their annual reports.

This survey is targeted at all groups of stakeholders in Australian heritage. Whether you are a heritage consultant, a director of an organisation taking charge of any Australian heritage item/place, a resident staying in the vicinity of a heritage site or a visitor to a local museum, your views are equally important in shaping the future of heritage reporting!

New book on Museum Development and Cultural Representation

Museum Development and Cultural Representation. Developing the Kelabit Highlands Community Museum,
Jonathan Sweet and Meghan Kelly, Routledge, 2019

Museum Development and Cultural Representation critically examines the development of a museum and cultural heritage centre in the indigenous Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Building on their direct involvement in the development of the project, the authors appraise the process in retrospect through a thematic analysis. Themes covered include the project’s local and international contexts, community involvement and agency, the balance of tourism and authenticity, and the role of non-local partners. Through their analysis, the authors unpack the complexities of cultural representation and identity in heritage design practice, and investigate the relationship between capacity building and agency in cultural heritage management.
