Erschütterung. Erde und Erbe in der Krise: Tremor. Earth and Heritage in Crisis
Erschütterung (tremor) discusses the destruction and damage to architectural monuments caused by physical crises such as earthquakes, floods or war, as well as the emotional, social and societal shocks that arise in this context. The subtitle Earth and Heritage in Crisis refers to the close links between global disasters, heritage making and preservation. The conference volume therefore deals with fundamental questions about how heritage preservation deals with such crises and their consequences. In addition to topics of conservation and restoration, strategies of reconstruction and remembrance, it is asked how the discipline of heritage preservation itself has been shaped by crises. Interdisciplinary case studies will be used to discuss the limits, possibilities and conflicts of heritage preservation caused by war and trauma.
