ABOUT THE SERIES
Tangible and intangible cultural heritage encompasses the full range of cultural expressions recognized by UNESCO through the 1972 World Heritage Convention and the 2003 Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention. Tangible heritage includes monuments, architectural ensembles, archaeological sites, cultural landscapes, and material artifacts that embody historical continuity and spatial presence. Intangible heritage comprises living practices—rituals, oral traditions, craftsmanship, social performances, and ecological knowledge—sustained through community transmission and collective meaning making.
This series positions itself at the intersection of heritage ontology, UNESCO’s dual heritage conventions, and contemporary research on nature–culture relations. It examines cultural heritage as a composite field in which material structures, archaeological and architectural formations, and cultural landscapes coexist with living practices, ritual performances, craft traditions, and ecological knowledge systems. By emphasizing the conceptual triad of (in)tangibility-liminality-confluence, the series assesses the emergence of cultural meaning through the dynamic interaction of physical presence and immaterial transmission.
The series aims to cultivate rigorous, cross disciplinary inquiry that situates heritage within broader historical, environmental, and symbolic matrices. It invites contributions from interdisciplinary fields, such as architecture, medieval studies, anthropology, etc., encouraging researchers to explore how tangible forms and intangible practices shape cultural identity, memory, and continuity. The series employs a methodological framework that includes structural analysis, landscape interpretation, phenomenology, and community-based documentation, in accordance with UNESCO’s principles of authenticity, preservation, and sustainable transmission.
By articulating heritage as a mutually relational field spanning tangible and intangible registers, this series provides a platform for advancing theoretical, methodological, and interpretive debates central to contemporary heritage scholarship.
