Ph.d.-seminar arrangeret i et samarbejde mellem forskerskolerne MAST og Kulturarvens forskerskole. Syddansk Universitet, Campus Esbjerg, 20.-22. november 2006.
On 20-22 November 2006, a PhD seminar on cultural heritage and ownership was arranged by the Research School for Studies in Maritime and Coastal Environment, Heritage and Sustainable Tourism (MAST) and the Danish Research School of Cultural Heritage. The seminar was hosted by the University of Southern Denmark, Campus Esbjerg and aimed at presenting different perspectives on cultural heritage in current international research. Lecturers and PhDs from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Poland, Portugal and Israel fully demonstrated the broad range of approaches. In spite of a great variety in contributions from history, anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, tourism studies, conservation studies and engineering, many shared themes could be identified, such as how cultural heritage can be (mis)used in both the experience economy and tourism, in the construction of identities and within nation states. Themes such as inclusion and exclusion through selection and classification, the idea of felt and formal ownership, and the notion of authenticity where also discussed.
These last 10-20 years have seen an enormous spread of the notion of cultural heritage and its very broad use, to the point where an adequate definition no longer seems possible. Even though emphasis on our historic inheritance can be positive, it is also cruci- al to undertake scholarly debate and discus why and how the notion is used and applied. The contributors to the seminar, both lecturers and PhDs, managed to demonstrate that scholarly diversity is no obstacle to mutual inspiration and fruitful contributions to a shared, critical stance in the field of cultural heritage.
