Legal Dimensions to Valuing Aesthetics in World Heritage Decisions

This article reveals the ways in which concepts associated with the humanities inform determinations of ‘outstanding universal’ aesthetic value of natural heritage under the World Heritage Convention. Language derived from humanistic ideas of beauty, the sublime and the picturesque, together with a range of images, are used in World Heritage deliberations to describe nature from, in the words of the treaty, ‘an aesthetic point of view’. However, a preference for ‘scientific method’ masks the use of humanistic approaches, impeding the development of critical approaches that could enhance World Heritage determinations. The deliberate use of humanistic methods and images to judge environmental aesthetics would, the article contends, facilitate critical inquiry without falling foul the ‘principle of legality’ – an international legal requirement of international bodies such as the World Heritage Committee to act in accordance with the powers conferred on them by the states parties under a treaty.

The text offers an analysis of selected works by Władysław Hasior from an ecocritical perspective. The focus is placed on Hasior’s best-known work, The Organ, as well as on several parts of his Photo Notebook. The analysis seeks to demonstrate that an application of an ecocritical perspective to the reading of Hasior’s work may help fill in the blanks in the environmental history of art in Poland. Several recent publications and exhibitions that concern the relationship between art and nature focus on uncovering the “prehistory” of ecological art in Poland or the local tradition of Land Art. The text is meant as a preliminary study of possible research perspectives that the proposed reading may open up, as well as a consideration of whether ecocriticism could serve as an opportunity to bring the tenets of horizontal art history into the practice of rereading the work of Polish artists and their relationship with the landscape.
