Join us in the next session of the “Critical heritage studies at Arqus: concepts, approaches and findings” online guest lecture series

The second session of this series will be led by Duŝan Ristic (University of Graz) and it is titled “Digitalization of Cultural Heritage as Discursive Practice: Mapping the Museums and Citizens-led Initiatives in Graz and Novi Sad (DISCULTHER)”. The online lecture will take place on 27 November at 18:00 CET.

Explore with Duŝan Ristic her digital workshop project DISCULTHER. This project examines how the process of digitalization of cultural heritage (DCH), identified on a discursive level, manifests in two kinds of settings: institutional (museums) and activist (citizens-led initiatives).

The main objective of the project is to investigate the plurality of discursive practices of DCH within mentioned settings, the innovativeness, discrepancies and tensions in these practices, as well as the capacity of DCH to make accessible, mobilize and critically engage citizens in opening the space for intercultural dialogue.

Moderated by Vicent Schober, from the Leipzig University ReCentGlobe, participants will explore the comparative dimension of DISCULTHE, which compares: 

• The institutional with non-institutional practices of DCH.
• The processes in two cities Novi Sad (Serbia) and Graz (Austria).
