Conflict Resolution in the Management of In-Situ Museums

Heritage Dynamics: Understanding and adapting to change in diverse heritage contexts

“…Heritage is inherently dissonant (Fouseki 2008;; see also Smith 2006, 82). This is because there are multiple, and often conflicting, values attributed to heritage (e.g.…”

“…What I propose extends far beyond the standard, shortterm, top-down consultations that we often see occurring in heritage management. I contend that 'embedding' a 'dispute management' strategy into the broader heritage management framework will underpin the entire duration of the heritage project (see also Fouseki 2008;. By doing so, on a practical level, huge delays in implementing a project can be avoided.…”

“…Construction of the museum was unavoidably associated with the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, the revival of which -alongside the potential return of the 'Parthenon Sculptures' -would symbolise the restitution of Hellenism in its fullness (Yalouri 2001, 86). On an international level, the museum constituted a response to doubts raised by the British Museum about Greece's ability to fulfil its role as a guardian of its cultural heritage, a doubt reinforced after the discovery of the archaeological site and its partial destruction (Fouseki 2008). On the other hand, the authorities of the museum and the Greek state politicians, by suggesting the construction of the in-situ museum, sought to emphasise not only Greece's ability to safeguard its heritage but also its status as a modern and developed state.…”

A Community Empowerment Approach to Heritage Management

“…Alexopoulos and Fouseki (2013 ); Tsaravopoulos and Fragou (2013 ), 94-108]. Without explicitly setting out to exclude local communities from knowing about or even, in some cases, protecting their heritage, the Archaeological Service largely alienated local communities and the general public, seeing its role as the sole protector of the antiquities from these very communities and the destruction, looting or uncontrolled commercialization they often cause, partly because of this very attitude [ Kokkou (1977 ), 72-78; Papaconstantinou (2003 ), 21-24; Fouseki (2008 )]. In other words, it saw itself as the only stakeholder regarding heritage.…”

Κοινωνικές Και Οικονομικές Οπτικές Της Πολιτισμικής Κληρονομιάς

“…Επιπροσθέτως, στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας, η έλλειψη χωροθέτησης εµπρόθετου, θεωρητικού προσανατολισµού στις ελληνικές σπουδές διαχείρισης, που δεν καλύπτει το αντικείµενο της µελέτης της πολιτιστικής κληρονοµιάς, αλλά και η αυξανόµενη τάση µετακένωσης οικονοµικών ή διαχειριστικών µοντέλων, που απαντάται σε σχετικές διατριβές (για παράδειγµα, Liwieratos 2009 . Fouseki 2008), αν και χρήσιµη ως διαµόρφωση επιλογών και λύσεων προβληµάτων, δεν εµπλουτίζει ποιοτικά και σε βάθος τη διαδικασία της έρευνας, που περιστρέφεται κυρίως γύρω από την εξέταση θεµάτων σε σχέση µε τα µνηµεία Παγκόσµιας Πολιτιστικής Κληρονοµιάς της UNESCO (WHS), θεµατική µε την οποία ασχολούνται τα περισσότερα συνέδρια, εκδόσεις και διατριβές (για παράδειγµα, Carman & White 2007 . Merode κ.α.…”
