INTRODUCING WHIPIC
WHIPIC News
Among world heritages that have been inscribed or tentatively listed on the World Heritage List according to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention (1972), ‘World Heritage in conflict’ means those involving a dissonance regarding its nomination or conservation methods among stakeholders such as state, group, individual, etc. due to their historical backgrounds or characteristics.
With professor Dong jin Kang (Kyungsung University), as a senior researcher, and professor Hyunkyung Lee (Sogang University), as the cooperative researcher, this study will shed light on specific cases such as ‘Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar,’ ‘Valongo Wharf Archaeological Site,’ ‘Hiroshima Peace Memorial,’ ‘Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining,’ and ‘Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.’
This study is one of the major studies that the center has conducted since its foundation early this year. It is expected to play a key role in establishing strategies to interpret and present world heritage sites in the proper manner.
The UNESCO WHIPIC will hold the closing webinar of the ‘2022 WHIPIC World Heritage Interpretation Online Lecture and Webinar Series’ on 10 November, under the theme ‘The Direction of Heritage Interpretation in World Heritage Policy’.
In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, WHIPIC has been holding the 2022 lecture and webinar series, “Bridging the Gap: 50 Years of the World Heritage Convention” since last April. In its closing webinar, we will look back on the past 50 years and discuss areas of World Heritage that the Convention has overlooked and the role of heritage interpretation to complement it.
