TL;DR: The Australian Heritage Commission has a responsibility to maintain and develop the Register of the National Estate as a listing of those places in the natural and cultural environment of Australia, of significance to present and future generations as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Cultural landscapes are the subject of growing concern among heritage bodies and the broader community. This is reflected in the nomination of cultural landscapes for entry in the Register of the National Estate, as much as this ICOMOS Seminar dealing with their recognition and protection. The Australian Heritage Commission has a responsibility under the Australian Heritage Commission Act of 1975 to maintain and develop the Register of the National Estate as a listing of those places in the natural and cultural environment of Australia, of significance to present and future generations. In order to make the Register as comprehensive as possible, we need to develop mechanisms for the identification and assessment of cultural landscapes alongside other places of cultural significance, such as buildings and sites.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that growing up and growing older never outgrow themselves so that in one way or another our beliefs, ideas, and values are always abridged, yet despite such abridgments and shortcomings, in the natural course of our lives we depend on those beliefs and ideas to live and work with each other in a common world imposed on us by birth and in which we must die.
Abstract: Growing up into our cultural heritage, we naturally acquire beliefs, ideas, values that, when tested on the proving ground of daily life, often turn out to be contradictory or if not, incomplete or fragmentary to a greater or lesser extent, indistinct or obscure in all but general outline. Growing up and growing older never outgrow themselves so that in one way or another our beliefs, ideas and values are always abridged. Yet despite such abridgments and shortcomings, in the natural course of our lives we depend on those beliefs, ideas, values to live and work with each other in a common world imposed on us by birth and in which we must die.

TL;DR: Taylor et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted an interpretative research exercise for the historic rural landscape at Lanyon-Lambrigg in the Murrumbidgee River valley, which was assisted by the National Estate Grants Programme.
Abstract: The study which this paper outlines was undertaken in 1986/1987 by K. Taylor, J.Winston-Gregson, and K. Johnson following the issuing of a brief by Jennifer Cox, Heritage and Museums Unit of the then Department of Territories. The study, assisted by the National Estate Grants Programme, was part of an interpretative research exercise for the historic rural landscape, particularly at Lanyon and was coincidental with other work. The study area is in the Murrumbidgee River valley and lies thirty kilometres south of the centre of Canberra. Urban development associated with the new town of Tuggeranong will shortly abut the eastern side of the historic landscape at Lanyon. The rural landscape at Lanyon-Lambrigg had previously been identified as possessing significant cultural heritage value.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of 109 restoration reports of Japanese farmhouses from the Edo period (1603-1867) that have been classified as part of the nation's architectural heritage and repaired with government funds.
Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of 109 restoration reports of Japanese farmhouses from the Edo period (1603–1867) that have been classified as part of the nation's architectural heritage and repaired with government funds. After reviewing farmhouse conservation in Western countries and the growth of parallel interests in Japan, the discussion focusses on the principles and practices of farmhouse restoration as documented in the reports. On this basis the paper argues that restored farmhouses often serve as status symbols for elite families of the contemporary local hierarchies and that, more generally, they constitute a visual representation of a sanitized tradition in which feudal relations and peasant existence are idealized and romanticized. Viewing farmhouse conservation as a form of visual ideology expressing dominant class interests, the paper concludes by suggesting a theoretical linkage between heritage conservation, domestic tourism, and the symbolism of nationalism.
TL;DR: The goal of this essay is to increase awareness of the need to get past the novelty of the medium and come to terms with the expressive potential of depth, color, movement and parallax that defines the holographic image.
Abstract: AmercnE . D. Hirsh, in Cultural Literacy-What Every American Needs To Know, speaks of the importance of a shared 'cultural literacy' [1]. He notes that, as school and business curricula become increasingly specialized, the ability of our society to adapt to technological and cultural change becomes more difficult. Hirsh sees the shared knowledge of our cultural heritage as a unifying language that can serve as a springboard for future advancement. Through a generalized understanding of our cultural legacy, we can learn from our past, communicate more effectively in the present and intelligently face the uncertainties of the future. In short, Hirsh feels that cultural literacy not only produces a well-rounded individual but also serves as a
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the enforcement of Western models of development has eroded traditional Islamic values and undermined Muslims' confidence in themselves and their cultural heritage, and that the Islamic idea of development cannot be reduced to any of the models prevailing in the West, which are based on concepts of progress and evolution alien to the Islamic worldview.
TL;DR: In the view of this author, the "heritage culture" which has proliferated around this necrophilic fixation for something which is, literally, as dead as the Dodo, is profoundly unhealthy, and he seeks to replace it by what he calls a critical culture, which would place more emphasis on the present and the creative arts as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A NEW SPECIES has been discovered. A representation of Dodo Brittanicus adorns the cover of a recent book by Robert Hewison-The Heritage Industry: Britain in a Climate of Decline .1 The creature stands embalmed in a glass case, its Dodo-like head and claws attached to a feathered body which bears a close resemblance to the shape of mainland Britain. It symbolizes an obsession with the recent past, a nostalgia for a way of life which has now disappeared, but which is fondly imagined to have existed within or just beyond the lifetimes of older citizens, and which is recalled in a sanitized and romanticized form by countless museums and heritage projects which have been springing up at a remarkable rate in Britain during the last decade. In the view of this author, the "heritage culture" which has proliferated around this necrophilic fixation for something which is, literally, as dead as the Dodo, is profoundly unhealthy, and he seeks to replace it by what he calls a "critical culture," which would place more emphasis on the present and the creative arts. There is no doubt that Hewison has written a lively polemic, and one which provides a salutary corrective to the enterprises which have recognized and exploited the value of the heritage in Britain in recent decades. Ventures such as the Wigan Heritage Centre, for instance, are castigated for their glorification of a past which never actually existed, because all the grime and squalor has been removed in order to create an idyll of urban life bearing little relationship to historical evidence. The argument that
TL;DR: A viable contextual strategy should simultaneously accommodate traditional forms and values, reinterpret them in the light of Christian theology and ethics, and innovate forms which are consistent with biblical faith, with the Chinese cultural heritage, and with emerging social values.
Abstract: Christianity’s response to ancestor worship remains a live issue throughout Asia, including Hong Kong. where residents sense a need for cultural continuity, where traditional rites have gradually been secularized, but where the church continues to depend on Western thought-forms and customs. A viable contextual strategy should simultaneously accommodate traditional forms and values, reinterpret them in the light of Christian theology and ethics, and innovate forms which are consistent with biblical faith, with the Chinese cultural heritage, and with emerging social values. By accommodating, reinterpreting, and innovating, the Chinese churches can express their cultural loyalty. maintain biblical integrity, and pursue the transformational goal of contextualization.

TL;DR: The participation of the Hudson's Bay Company in the social networks of Victorian science, mainly in the collection of specimens of natural history in the vast northwestern territories of North America, was considered in this article.
Abstract: This article considers in terms of its larger historical context the participation by officers of the Hudson's Bay Company in the social networks of Victorian science, mainly in the collection of specimens of natural history in the vast northwestern territories of North America While such specimens were solicited by outsiders from British and American scientific institutions, a common cultural heritage gave meaning and value to the cooperative efforts of both scientists and collectors A sketch of this heritage, in which the writings of Sir Francis Bacon, the voyages of Captain James Cook, the example of Alexander von Humboldt, the scholarship of the Scottish Enlightenment and other factors were alloyed to form the matrix of Victorian scientific activity, forms the focus of the discussion of both the Company's policies and individual initiatives

TL;DR: The conclusion reached is that legal recognition of folk therapy might be a premature, and therefore detrimental, step at present, as it might endanger the usefulness and survival of a valuable cultural heritage.
Abstract: 'Folk therapy' is distinguished from western scientific medical practice, and the role of the former is defined in its context. 'Diviners', 'medicinemen', 'witches' and 'sorcerers' are defined and distinguished. The colonial influence and its legacies in Africa are examined, as are the post-colonial adjustments. The crucial question is whether folk therapy should be legally recognized and controlled. The conclusion reached is that this might be a premature, and therefore detrimental, step at present, as it might endanger the usefulness and survival of a valuable cultural heritage.

TL;DR: The Canary Isles, scattered in the Atlantic off the Sahara coastline of southern Morocco, have a remarkable archaeological heritage, for which mummified bodies from caves are important evidence as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The Canary Isles, scattered in the Atlantic off the Sahara coastline of southern Morocco, have a remarkable archaeological heritage. Initial settlement, for which mummified bodies from caves are important evidence, relates to the Berbers of the Maghreb, and the islands' distinctive culture was not overwhelmed until the European impact of the 15th century AD. Explanation is given of the special value of Canarian archaeology, and of the efforts now being made more properly to protect it.
