Course Description:
How and why do we celebrate, memorialize, and preserve/conserve the “important stuff” of history? How have our methods of conserving and preserving the past changed over time and according to place, culture, and what history is being remembered? In this course we will examine various methods and theories for conservation and preservation of cultural heritage—writ large, and including archaeology, art, and history—as practiced both nationally and abroad. This course introduces students to a wide range of classic and contemporary readings, case studies, and real-world examples of the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage around the world and in the U.S. This course is separated into two parts: the theory of conservation and preservation, and the practice of conservation and preservation in action. |
