Prof. Cornelius Holtorf and Postdoctoral Fellow Annalisa Bolin have a new article out in Journal of Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development<\/a> (open access), in which they discuss the topic of heritage futures and how to implement futures thinking in heritage studies and practice.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

This article explores the concept of \u201cheritage futures\u201d, the role of heritage in managing relations between present and future societies. It assesses how thinking strategically about the future changes, complicates and contextualises practices of heritage. What might an attention to the future bring to work in heritage, and simultaneously, what challenges\u2014both practical and ethical\u2014arise?<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

This article takes the form of a conversation about the nature of heritage futures and how such a project may be implemented in both heritage practice and field research in heritage studies. The two authors are heritage scholars who integrate heritage futures questions into their research in different ways, and their conversation uncovers potentialities and difficulties in the heritage futures project.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

The discussion covers the particular ethical issues that arise when the dimension of time is added to heritage research and practice, including questions of continuism, presentism and specificity. The conversation argues for the importance of considering the future in heritage studies and heritage practice and that this forms a key part of understanding how heritage may be part of building a sustainable present and future.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

The future is an under-examined concept within heritage studies, even as heritage is often framed as something to be preserved \u201cfor future generations\u201d. But what impact might it have on heritage practice to really consider what this means, beyond the platitude? This article suggests that heritage scholars and practitioners direct their attention to this often-neglected facet of heritage.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
