Conférence : Heritage and Revolution: First as Tragedy, Then as Farce
Type : Conférence
Date : 6 mai 2017
Lieu : Cambridge
From the French Revolution in the eighteenth century, to the communist revolutions in twentieth century Russia and China to the Arab Spring in the twenty-first century, heritage has been in the crosshairs of aspirations to change and utopian constructions of possible futures.
This research seminar will explore the unique and complex relationship between cultural heritage and revolutions, two concepts with seemingly opposed temporal connotations.
