ECOMUSEUMS 2014 - 2nd International Conference on Ecomuseums, Community Museums and Living Communities follows the path established by its first conference and (as the predecessor) aims at gathering scholars, academics and practitioners working in the areas of Ecomuseums and Community Museums all over the world in an event that may contribute to the global discussion and understanding of the ecomuseums and community museums phenomena. The ecomuseum movement has its origins
in late 1960’s France when the roles museums can play in linking people,
their heritage expressions and places, as well as affecting social change,
were examined. At this time, traditional museum activities, which centered
on the collection of heritage to be interpreted by curators and other
museum professionals within a museum building, were viewed as both limited
and exclusive in approach. It can
be considered that this wide range of ecomuseological and community-based
museological initiatives demonstrates an international interest in
alternative heritage management approaches. For this reason, Ecomuseums
2012 seeks to bring together scholars, researchers, architects and
heritage professionals to discuss the commonalities, differences and
future of safeguarding practices that are holistic and community oriented
in scope. ECOMUSEUMS 2014 is a peer reviewed conference. |
