Spatial Communities, Cultural Landscape, and Heritage Agnosticism – Reading Day
Combining the reading group “Spatial Communities: New Methodologies for Heritage Landscapes” with special guest Christoph Brumann’s work on heritage agnosticism, this one-morning reading workshop aims to connect individual research projects with the most pressing questions in heritage studies today.

The session will center on Prof. Brumann's article, Cultural Landscapes and the UNESCO World Heritage List: Perpetuating European Dominance, as a follow-up to his lecture at the Hertziana the previous evening (October 7). We will also explore the concept of 'heritage agnosticism' (Brumann 2014), examining whether this approach can serve as a research tool applicable to any object within the field of art history.

Christoph Brumann is Head of Research Group at the MPI for Social Anthropology, Halle, and Honorary Professor of Anthropology at the University of Halle-Wittenberg. He is the author of The Best We Share: Nation, Culture and World-Making in the UNESCO World Heritage Arena (2021) and Tradition, Democracy and the Townscape of Kyoto: Claiming a Right to the Past (2012).

The workshop and reading group will be facilitated by Kris Racaniello and Costanza Paolillo, who will build on intersecting themes and theoretical discussions from last spring's reading group.

Attendance is open to all, including those who were not present at previous meetings.
Please sign up by emailing Kris.Racaniello@biblhertz.it or Costanza.Paolillo@biblhertz.it.


Scientific Organization: Francesca Borgo (Lise Meitner Group), Johannes Röll (Fototeca), and Kris Racaniello and Costanza Paolillo (reading group “Spatial Communities: New Methodologies for Heritage Landscapes”)
