TheoPhilos ISC – Forthcoming Conferences 2024/25

TheoPhilos will be holding a conference ‘Authenticity from a European Perspective: 30 Years of the Nara Document on Authenticity’, in Thessaloniki, Greece, from November 28-29, 2024. Contributions from ISC’s are very welcome. Please therefore consider submitting a paper proposal; details are on the TheoPhilos website, and the call for papers is also to find here – 20240507a TheoPhilos call – deadline for submission is Sunday 15th September

We also draw your attention to the international symposium, convened by Prof. Toshiyuki Kono (honorary president of ICOMOS) and co-sponsored by ICOMOS Japan, to be held in Takasaki City, Gunma, Japan on 10-11 January, 2025 on ‘The Further Evolution of Authenticity through the Lens of Heritage Ecosystems: Heritage, Communities, and Sustainable Development’. The deadline for paper proposals for the symposium is Tuesday 3rd September, and full details are available from the symposium website.

With authenticity being such a broad, varied and important topic, we very much welcome the opportunity to compare and contrast the insights from these two international meetings, one focusing on the European reception of the Nara Document and the other in Japan on the further evolution of authenticity, both marking the Nara Document’s 30th anniversary.
