Call For Sessions: Association of Critical Heritage Studies What does heritage change? / Le patrimoine, ça change quoi?
First Call for Sessions and Panels for the 3rd Biannual Conference: Montreal, 7-10th June 2016

Heritage is a powerful witness to mindsets and zeitgeist; it is commonly understood that it gives way to a better understanding of societies and even brings together communities. But how would this happen? Can heritage affect reality? What does it change?

The third ACHS Conference considers the manifestations, discourses, epistemologies, policies, and stakes of heritage—as a phenomenon, a symptom, an effect or a catalyst; as a tool of empowerment or leverage; as a physical or intangible restraint or kick-off; in communities, societies, or any material or mental environment. Subthemes range from gender-related issues to identity-making, mythologies of cultural diversity and the rethinking of heritage policies beyond the authorized heritage discourse.

The inaugural manifesto of the ACHS called for the building and the promotion of critical innovations and interventions in heritage while questioning the cultural and economic power relations that traditional understandings of heritage seem to underpin. This third Conference builds on the momentum of the previous conferences, held in Gothenburg, Sweden and in Canberra, Australia; it seeks to strengthen and broaden critical heritage studies as an inclusive area of theorisation, investigation and practice built from diverse geographical regions and disciplinary fields, such as public history, memory studies, museology, tourism studies, architecture and planning, urban studies, archaeology, geography, sociology, cultural studies, political science, anthropology, ethnology and artistic research.

Submissions to the 2016 ACHS Conference should bring innovative reflections and interdisciplinary methodologies or approaches to the critical enquiries about how and why heritage is, has been or could be made, used, studied, defined and managed, and with what effects, if any, on a society, a territory, an economy. Contributions might, for example, explore the reconstruction of narratives, the reconfiguration of social relations, knowledge production and cultural expressions, the transformation of the environment or the (de)valuation of the land. We particularly welcome papers that go beyond canon theories to interrogate discipline-based norms about heritage, and the assumptions that orient practice or decision-making. In this respect, this conference aims to continue important debates about heritage as a domain of politics and citizenship, a living environment, a source of identity and an assemblage of human-non-human relations.

The deadline for the call for session is 1st July 2015
The deadline for the call for papers will be 1st November 2015.

Considering the complicated DNA made visible by the mapping of the human genome, we invite photography about student's family and cultural roots and how they think of their own diverse American identity in terms of race and ethnicity.

The exhibit will coincide with the April 9-26 musical production of Betsy!, which tells the story of a Puerto Rican Latin Jazz singer forced to confront family secrets about her Scotch-Irish and Appalachian roots. Roadside Theater and Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater co-created the musical, and the Joy of Giving Something Foundation is generously sponsoring this exhibit.

Why Participate?

Twenty-five students will have their photographs printed and physically exhibited during the April 9-26 run of Betsy! at Pregones Theater/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater (304 West 47th Street). In addition to receiving three tickets to Betsy!, these students will be invited to a reception and receive recognition in the show playbill. All photos received will be showcased on websites and social media of the participating organizations, which boast national audiences of more than ten thousand people.
 
Photography Submissions
 
To participate, students may upload 1-3 images (saved as JPEG or JPG files, 1600 x 1200 minimum pixel resolution, and no larger than 5MB) and a short artist statement (less than 300 words) about the connection between your image(s) and the exhibit themes.

Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. April 1, 2015 is the latest date to submit. Special consideration will be given to high school and college students in New York.

Marketed by the Smithsonian Channel as “one of the most influential musicians you’ve never known,” Lead Belly’s legacy can be heard in the grooves of Led Zeppelin III, seen in Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged performance, or echoed in cavernous ballparks, where Ram Jam’s “Black Betty” plays as a relief pitcher warms up. But beyond his influence on (mainly white) musical artists, the collection is significant because it shows how Lead Belly defied the racial categories of blues and country (as black music and white music, respectively) – stereotypes established by the burgeoning record industry of the Jim Crow era that persist today.

This bill was said to have been introduced to rectify an oversight that should have been addressed years ago, preventing city school police from carrying their weapons on school property, even though other jurisdictions allow it. Some described it as a non-issue, but for parents such as myself who send their children into these buildings every day and have come to understand that the police relations within the city are not those of yesteryear's "Officer Friendly," this is a major concern. ]]> Legislation that would have enabled Baltimore City's schools' police force to carry handguns while patrolling or working inside of our school buildings has been tabled — a wise decision.

This presentation will highlight a new publishing project in the works: Vega, an academic publishing platform supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Building on 15 years as editor of Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy, Dr. Ball will discuss how publishing multimedia scholarship requires different kinds of infrastructure than scholars, editors, and publishers are used to with print-based publishing. Vega incorporates newer publishing processes, such as collaborative authoring, open peer review, and design editing, as well as newer products, such as media-rich articles and data sets.

Ball will talk about the opportunities and challenges of composing, editing, publishing, and evaluating scholarship in the 21st century, primarily when it takes nontraditional, digital forms.

Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher, Artist-in-Residence, Wins Herblock Prize 

Kevin “KAL” Kallaugher, artist-in-residence, has been awarded the 2015 Herblock Prize for editorial cartooning. The Herblock Prize honors artists who use editorial cartoons to preserve freedom of speech and the right of expression.


The judges called KAL’s work “clear, thoughtful, [and] forceful” and praised his cartoon on Edward Snowden. “His portfolio reflected his dual editorial-cartoonist roles, and impressed the judges with his ability to jump between macro-international policy issues to Baltimore mayor’s stonewalling about the accuracy of its speed cameras,” the Herb Block Foundation said.


“I consider the Herblock Prize to be a special honor,” KAL said. “I am honored and  humbled to have been selected for this extraordinary award.” KAL was also recognized this year by Europe’s Grand Prix Award with Europe’s cartoon of the year award.
