scope II, Sites and Subjects, narrating heritage, International Conference,
Vienna (Austria), 28-29 September, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cultural inheritance and its different stories will come into focus at the
international conference scopeII, which takes place in Vienna on 28. - 29.
September 2006.
To the topic "Sites and Subjects, narrating heritage" a number of prominent
scientists and experts from all over the world will bring new impulses into
the current debate of intangible cultural heritage.
Different cultures connect different stories with one cultural object. Thus
stories (contexts) become as important as the objects themselves. The UNESCO
has reacted to this theoretical turn of understanding culture and recently
ratified the convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Heritage.
After Scope I concerned itself with "Information vs Meaning" in 1999 "Sites
and Subjects, narrating heritage" is the second event within the scope
conferences, organized by uma information technology.
In four sessions participants and speakers will – as interactively as
possible – discuss cultural heritage, urban space, museums and their effects
on each other.
Leader of the program committee and key note speaker of the conference is
Harvard professor Homi K. Bhabha. The Austrian artist and art theoretician
Peter Weibel is one of many other international speakers joining the
conference.
The main sponsor of scope II, which this year will take place in the
Augustinertrakt of the Austrian National Library, is
"innovatives.oesterreich.at". The website to the conference is online now.

scope II, Sites and Subjects, narrating heritage, Internationale Konferenz,
Wien, (Austria), 28-29 September, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNESCO ratifiziert Unfassbares – scopeII
Nach langer Anlaufphase ist am 20. April die UNESCO-Konvention zur Erhaltung
von immateriellem Kulturerbe in Kraft getreten. Am Puls der Zeit liegt damit
die internationale Konferenz scopeII, die am 28. und 29. September 2006 in
Wien stattfindet.
In „Sites and Subjects, narrating heritage" geht es um die Zukunft von
materiellem und immateriellem Kulturerbe. Richtete sich der Fokus der UNESCO
bisher auf Objekte und Monumente, so gilt das Interesse nun nicht-fassbaren
Kulturgütern wie Traditionen oder Sprachen. Unterschiedliche Kulturen
verbinden mit einem kulturellen Objekt mitunter verschiedene Geschichten.
Damit werden Geschichten (Narrationen, Kontexte) ebenso wichtig wie die
Objekte selbst.
Nach „Information versus Meaning" im Jahr 1999 ist „Sites and Subjects" die
zweite Veranstaltung der SCOPE-Konferenzreihe, die von uma information
technology gmbh realisiert wird.
An vier Halbtagen diskutieren – in einem möglichst interaktiv gehaltenen
Rahmen – Publikum und Vortragende über Kulturerbe, Stadtraum, Museum und
deren Auswirkungen aufeinander. Vorsitzender des Programmkommitees und
Key-Note-Speaker der Konferenz ist der Harvard-Professor Homi K. Bhabha. Aus
Österreich hat u.a. der Künstler und Kunsttheoretiker Peter Weibel zugesagt.
Hauptsponsor von Scope II, die im Augustinertrakt der Nationalbibliothek
gastieren wird, ist innovatives-oesterreich.at.
Umfassende Informationen über die Konferenz gibt es unter www.scope.at. Der
monatlich erscheinende Newsletter ist ebenfalls unter dieser Adresse
abonnierbar.
