Workshop
- Registration is mandatory
- Date: Oct 8, 2024
- Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Speaker: Workshop with Christoph Brumann
- Location: Villino Stroganoff, Via Gregoriana 22, 00187 Rome

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.
