Described, Inscribed, Written Off: Heritagisation as (Dis)connection

Abstract: In 2011, UNESCO inscribed the fourteenth-century Citadel of the Hồ Dynasty in Vietnam's Thanh Hòa Province on the World Heritage List, thereby both recognising and rewarding Vietnam's efforts in conserving the archaeological site, as well as obliging it to meet UNESCO's official conservation standards. In an article titled 'Hồ Citadel the Site of a Modern Conflict' in the English-language newspaper Việt Nam News of 8 June 2014, Deputy Director of the Centre for Conservation of the Hồ Dynasty Citadel World Heri… Show more

“…And all heritage has to be enacted and somehow materialised -including all intangible cultural heritage. The papers in this collection show how such instantiations of vernacular heritage revolve around, and play with, mutually constitutive poles of loss and evocation or redemption; of forgetting and remembering (Connerton 1989(Connerton , 2009; of erasure and re-construction (or redemption) (Nora 1989); or in more general terms, of absenting and presencing (Macdonald 2013;Salemink 2016). These are not absolute binaries, but rather inter-connected, mutually constitutive poles that presuppose and evoke each other, especially in the context of the process of heritagization.…”

“…For the religious field, the development toward a heritagization of religion can be seen on a global scale with regard to diverse phenomena such as religious sites inscribed in the UNESCO list (Salemink 2016), cathedral spaces (Coleman and Bowman 2019; Mikaelsson 2019), religious theme parks (Paine 2019) or the wealth of abandoned religious buildings that are now being prepared for a new future as cultural heritage all over Europe by broadly based coalitions such as Future for Religion Heritage (FRH 2014). In pilgrimage, now widely reinstitutionalized and conceptually framed as cultural heritage, we can see "a hugely dynamic process that sustains the significance of certain sites, forgets the sacrality of others, brings new places into the orbit of the sacred, and transforms and contests the meanings of other sites and routes" (Edensor 2016: 209).…”

“…Processes of heritagization trigger complex dynamics, not least within the religious field (Meyer and de Witte 2013;Salemink 2016;Rots and Teeuwen 2020). With UNESCO's category of "heritage of religious interest," applied from 2010 onwards, religious traditions gain new and broader ownership, practices acquire new meaning, and long-abandoned sites or "sacred landscapes" become "religious property," bound to a usage that accounts for this status.1 The European pilgrimage revival of recent decades is another striking example of the dynamics of this ongoing "heritagization of religion" (Bowman and Sepp 2019).…”
