“…To do develop our argument around the possible range of the socio-temporal manifestations of CMCH, we draw on Holtorf's (2015Holtorf's ( , 2018 influential papers on heritage loss and futures. There is widespread engagement with Holtorf's (2018) argument in discussions on heritage renewal and there are calls for changes in heritage practices to reflect and incorporate Holtorf's interpretation of heritage as an evolving process (Fredengren 2018;Fredheim 2019;Perry 2019;Rico 2020). While there is typically a desire to try to save everything and maintain the status quo of cultural heritage, Holtorf (2018) argues for an increased ability to accept loss and transformation.…”

Steering resilience in coastal and marine cultural heritage

Coastal and marine cultural heritage (CMCH) is at risk due to its location and its often indefinable value. As these risks are likely to intensify in the future, there is an urgent need to build CMCH resilience. We argue that the current CMCH risk management paradigm narrowly focuses on the present and preservation. This tends to exclude debates about the contested nature of resilience and how it may be achieved beyond a strict preservationist approach. There is a need, therefore, to progress a broader and more dynamic framing of CMCH management that recognises the shift away from strict preservationist approaches and incorporates the complexity of heritage’s socio-political contexts. Drawing on critical cultural heritage literature, we reconceptualise CMCH management by rethinking the temporality of cultural heritage. We argue that cultural heritage may exist in four socio-temporal manifestations (extant, lost, dormant, and potential) and that CMCH management consists of three broad socio-political steering processes (continuity, discontinuity, and transformation). Our reconceptualisation of CMCH management is a first step in countering the presentness trap in CMCH management. It provides a useful conceptual framing through which to understand processes beyond the preservationist approach and raises questions about the contingent and contested nature of CMCH, ethical questions around loss and transformation, and the democratisation of cultural heritage management.

“…When it comes to the relationship between heritage and narrative, most researchers in heritage studies have regarded narrative as a possible description tool in historical interpretation and cultural identity, especially in museums, exhibitions or tourist destinations (Beneki et al, 2012; Benjamin & Alderman, 2018; Egberts & Hundstad, 2019; González, 2015; O’Hare, 1999; Šešić & Mijatović, 2014; Silberman, 2013; Watson & Waterton, 2010). Furthermore, some research has sought to demonstrate that narrative is a way to represent intangible legacies (van der Hoeven, 2018; Wu, 2014), or an alternative way of heritage preservation for the temporal and constructed quality of heritage values (Hodge, 2011; Rico, 2020; Strauser et al, 2018; Walter, 2014). These aforementioned studies pay much more attention to the function of narrative in the representation of historical legacies; meanwhile, the main concerns of these studies are how to attract heritage visitors and how to preserve the intangible qualities of heritage.…”

Examining the Links Between Heritage Use and Identity Building Through a Narrative Approach: A Case Study of Dadaocheng, Taipei City, in Taiwan

This article is intended to explore where narrative stands in the interconnection between heritage use and identity building. To achieve this goal, both heritage use and identity building are understood as the process of connection with a physical place for meaning-making of self-identification. This also means that while heritage use is related to discursive practices with historical legacies, narrative is the discursive structure for heritage users to receive its temporal meanings between time, person and place. Accordingly, with a case study of the historic district of Dadaocheng, Taipei City, in Taiwan, this article would like to suggest that heritage really benefits the shaping of our imagination with a physical place, particularly for building urban imaginaries and place uniqueness. Moreover, historical legacies and urban imaginaries are defined and chosen to strengthen the quality of a person, and then each narrated story of heritage use seems like an illustration of the strategic ways of living and/or working with historical legacies in a specific place. Consequently, the linkage between heritage and narrative here denotes an ongoing doing–saying–being approach to make time and place more humanized; meanwhile, ongoing storytelling is a possible way to reflect people’s perspectives and envision a sustainable historic environment.

“…In a similar vein, Trinidad Rico notes that reconstructing damaged heritages after disasters deals with contemporary concerns over their authenticities already established. Analyzing the "post-tsunami reconstructions in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, between the years of 2006 and 2011", Rico argues that concerns with the future wellbeing of the damaged heritage challenge the essentialist viewpoints on heritage and thus bring forth new values that unfold through continual documentations and communications [8]. The kind of value would include not only projects instituted by governments but also a number of disparate "plaques" inscribed with messages such as "Thank You" and "Peace" that are located on a public square within the site [8].…”

What is highlighted in such an "expanded assemblage of commemoration efforts", as Rico nicely described it, is "affective atmospheres" as Palu Cloke and David Conradson address on a similar occasion, a series of earthquakes that took place in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, from 2010 to 2011.…”

Reassembling Heritage after the Disaster: On the Sungnyemun Debate in South Korea

This article explores the changing values of heritage in an era saturated by an excess of media coverage in various settings and also threatened by either natural or manmade disasters that constantly take place around the world. In doing so, we focus on discussing one specific case: the debate surrounding the identification of Sungnyemun as the number one national treasure in South Korea. Sungnyemun, which was first constructed in 1396 as the south gate of the walled city Seoul, is the country’s most acknowledged cultural heritage that is supposed to represent the national identity in the most authentic way, but its value was suddenly questioned through a nationwide debate after an unexpected fire. While the debate has been silenced after its ostensibly successful restoration conducted by the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2013, this article argues that the incident is a prime example illustrating how the once venerated heritage is reassembled through an entanglement of various agents and their affective engagements. Methodologically speaking, this article aims to read Sungnyemun in reference to the growing scholarship of actor-network theory (ANT) and the studies of heritage in the post-disaster era through which to explore what heritage means to us at the present time. Our synchronic approach to Sungnyemun encourages us to investigate how the once-stable monument becomes a field where material interventions and affective engagements of various agents release its public meanings in new ways.
