Heritage research has blossomed into a vast area of interdisciplinary research. Our wor-King
Conference aims for a comparative perspective on the diverse implementations of the
heritage regime in different political systems. UNESCO heritage conventions have to be
ratified by member states and not all states have opted to ratify every heritage option developed
by UNESCO since 1972. Once a convetion is ratified, it is up to the individual
State to generate institutions and processes for the selection, nomination and implementation
of a given element of the World Heritage regime. Diverse modes of governance have
Ihus developed, each with their own effects on heritage sites and practices and the actors
associated with them on local, regional, and national levels. Working from a shared set of
questions, the conference features presentations and joint discussions with international
Scholars who all have done ethnographic research in the realm of heritage or heritage-pro-Ne
practices; they will summarize case studies touching on states’ handling of intangible
and tangible heritage, cultural landscapes, and heritage in the making. A link to the prelimi-Nary
program will appear bv the end of February ON OUF website:
