Identity, Ideas and History – symbolizing and preserving intangible heritage, Conference, June 16, 2022, United Kingdom

 

 

University of Kent, Canterbury UK

CFP:

Whether it be the politics of nationalism, the philosophy of logic or the shared identity of communities, we have continually attempted to symbolize beliefs and ideas through buildings, cities, films, art, sculpture and a plethora of other artefacts. These ‘material’ manifestations of the ‘intangible’ are evident through history and are preserved as such through a multitude of heritage agendas and projects today. Increasingly however, the preservation this cultural heritage is becoming digitized: the digitization of archives, digital reconstructions of historical buildings, and the computer generated reimagining of historical events, to name but a few examples.

The conference keynote picks up on these themes, with the internationally recognized Robert Stern Architects presenting a project that ‘digitally reconstructs’ John Soane’s built symbol of British Empire, finance and commerce, the now lost ‘Bank of England.

 

The Tangible – Intangible Heritage(s) conference engages with this scenario and welcomes papers from diverse fields engaged in history and heritage: cultural, intellectual, political, art and architectural. Several strands will be dedicated to the influence of digital tools.

Delegates are invited to contribute papers from their particular area of expertise for inclusion in the conference and publication in one of the associated publications with Intellect Books, UCL Press and Cambridge Scholars Publishing.
