SUMMARY:The Heritage Complex in China
DESCRIPTION:Held via Zoom - registration required: https://harvard.zoom.us/
 meeting/register/tJclduyoqDsvHd1LhecaNb1jnCpLD8QBokJK\n\nThis presentation
  is based on my ongoing book project that explores nation building\, archa
 eological practice\, heritage discourse and place making in contemporary C
 hina. To understand the process of heritagization (Walsh 1992) occurring t
 hroughout China\, this ethnography-based project considers the three main 
 themes facing China today: accelerated urbanization concomitant with a dis
 tinctive urban Chinese modernity\; contested relationships between the pas
 t and present\; and the intersection at which global heritage discourse\, 
 state policy\, and a diversified range of local interests meet. In this pr
 oject\, I have engaged in a behind-the-scenes exploration of A Archaeologi
 cal Park —to understand how space is presented in the context of nationa
 l narratives. This presentation explores how different actors - archaeolog
 ists\, governmental officials\, heritage practitioners\, and local residen
 ts - negotiated with each other in their making of a local\, national arch
 aeological site into a World Heritage Site and a national archaeological p
 ark.\n\nCo-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies
