Paper long abstract:
The paper is meant to discuss a theoretical framework for researching a "combined heritagization" of both nature and culture happening in one place, with a particular focus on heritagization of religious architecture and cult objects and practices. The framework has been outlined with the objective of researching Fruška Gora National Park in Autonomous Region of Vojvodina, Serbia, in which territory 16 Orthodox monasteries exist. Fruška Gora is visited within different excursion frameworks as natural park, natural cum cultural heritage complex, or as religious and cult place. Various schemes of these visits seem to point at different value sets behind them. The author, delving on her previous research on social construction of heritage, will try to reflect on different modes of heritagization within the areas of "nature" and "culture", as defined in the UNESCO documents, as well as outlined in conservation practices. The question is how far the two modes of heriatgization carried out in one place influence each other both on expert, as well as on non-expert, namely visitor, level, and what is their relationship to religious motivations and religion-based value structure.
