The Ruins of the Heritagization
Les ruines de la patrimonialisation
Published on Thursday, August 21, 2014
Abstract
The aim of ‘Ruins of the Heritagization’ is to institute an archeology of territories considered as being ‘heritage’ focusing the "ruins" produced by the process of labelling cities. ‘Ruins of the Heritagization’ will be set in two moments of reflection, in Rio de Janeiro and in Paris. They will allow the mobilization of efforts to focus on what in the speeches and patrimonial practices is perceived as "saved" while being, at the same time, what trivializes a local economy, promotes the destruction of informal settlements, or still, transforms radically established practices. Relating what labeling leaves on the territories, which territories it produces and leaves as inheritance will be the subject of these meetings.

Argument
Over the last two or three decades the growth of cultural heritage movements concern objects increasingly diverse at multiple scales. Many artistic, economic, political and scientific efforts have been made to acquire some labels - including the world heritage – that not only affect the possibility of cross-cultural recognition, but also has real effects on the cultures themselves. The new regime of visibility on cultural heritage influences on identity construction, favors growth through tourism, significantly influences the price of land and also a profound change in the local population. Some collective practices then tend to disappear while others are established in a movement that creates conflict or, truly, re-signifies them.
The aim of ‘Ruins of the Heritagization’ is to institute an archeology of territories considered as being ‘heritage’ focusing the "ruins" produced by the process of labelling cities. This implies borrowing archeology its ability to interrogate the ruins, which can only be read or considered as such in the present - specific place where the recognition of the past is featured and, potentially, that of the future.
Considering the reminiscents that are read nowadays are the ones reactivated, they have therefore a hidden potential that is always reinvented. Heritage objects will be in consequence, closely regarded to extract traces of an everyday life that takes place, which has been lost and which will be.
This articulated approach of scales inevitably leads back to the index-based method. It consists of paying attention to details, material and immaterial, which can make us understand what the labeling abandons, forgets, transforms and creates.
‘Ruins of the Heritagization’ will be set in two moments of reflection, in Rio de Janeiro and in Paris. They will allow the mobilization of efforts to focus on what in the speeches and patrimonial practices is perceived as "saved" while being, at the same time, what trivializes a local economy, promotes the destruction of informal settlements, or still, transforms radically established practices. Relating what labeling leaves on the territories, which territories it produces and leaves as inheritance will be the subject of these meetings.

Places - Experiences - Situations
Rio de Janeiro, 24, 25 & 26 November 2014
This first meeting period will welcome proposals that refer to places, situations or specific experiences. It will be an opportunity to understand what the cultural heritage movements have been doing or do to the object now recognized as heritage through time. Amongst appreciation, ownership, tourism and dispossession, what are the moments of cultural heritage movements that ruin the labeled object?
These three days will be marked by conferences and six roundtables. The selection concerns the latter that will assemble a variety of academic backgrounds researchers around a case study. Those interested in participating in the roundtables must submit their proposals for individual papers according to the roles set forth. The selection also concerns proposals for roundtable organized by a coordinator and three other participants.

Transversal themes
Paris, March 13, 2015
This second meeting period will welcome proposals focusing on transversal themes. These themes can be of social order (the displacement of populations due to labeling; scientific or political disputes that may occur because of a labeled object ...) or of spatial order (the misuse of labeled objects; the typology of cultural landscapes ...).
This study phase will be marked by a conference and two roundtables. The call concerns those two roundtables that will assemble researches of diverse academic backgrounds around a transversal theme depending on the proposed corpus case. Those interested in participating in the roundtables must submit their proposals for individual papers according to the roles set forth. The selection also concerns proposals for roundtable organized by a coordinator and three other participants.
