I'm happy to share this paper where Juliana Forigua-Sandoval and I discuss some of the tensions and contradictions that may arise between culture preservation and nature protection. What are the borders that define them? Which one is more important? Who is entitled to decide which one to prioritize? We reflect around those questions in the case of the Serpis River in Spain, as part of our research in the Riverhood & River Commons projects.

A while back, October 2023, we reported that the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network had proposed the designation of George Foote Foss (1876–1968) as a national historic person. Parks Canada historians, who assist the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in the conduct of its business, had reviewed their application. They had informed QAHN that the application had not been recommended to be considered for designation on the basis that George Foss did not seem to meet the Board criterion for persons. This consideration refers to an outstanding and lasting contribution to Canadian history or the established benchmarks for persons who have been designated for their contributions to inventing and science. In the research that the federal historians had completed (which we have seen) they had skipped over some very important historical data, which if it had been presented more accurately, could perhaps have resulted in a different and more positive outcome. As many of you have learned I/we don’t accept declines all too well and we have formally requested a review of the application, have provided in detail the missed pertinent historical data, and await their reply. We were informed today, that the additional information has been received and that they are re-working the original application, but they gave no indication as to timing.

CBC CONFERENCE: New Approaches to Heritage Development in Eastern Europe 21.-22.03.24 in Aachen REGISTER HERE: https://lnkd.in/e_tCvqCi The topic of “residential heritage” in the post-Soviet context is at the core of the cbc project. The research has attempted at developing new approaches to the sustainable management of everyday built heritage, exploring the ways in which this legacy has been valorized, transformed, managed, and appropriated in the post-socialist period. The conference reflects on the findings and conclusions, while also looking for ways to develop further perspectives for analysis and action. It is conceived as an interactive exchange debating the current challenges of residential heritage in Eastern Europe from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, against the background of the multiple crises currently affecting the region, among which the war in Ukraine, migration, and scarcity of resources figure prominently. While urban regeneration, adaptive reuse of buildings, and participatory planning are some of the key terms and strategies proposed in this regard, the implications of these concepts for ordinary neighborhoods in Eastern Europe and their heritage is still to be discussed.
