Short Abstract:
Conical tents, trails, spoken stories, and clothing define indigenous landscapes as homes. This panel is an open space to discuss how evocative items of "cultural heritage" are more than their catalogue metadata, they generate and re-generate relationships.
Long Abstract:
This panel reflects upon the wider significance of "objects" of cultural heritage which often define collections and struggle for written definition in terms of genre, style, and epoch. Building on studies of craftsmanship and embodied knowledge, we encourage contributions from scholars and artists working with evocative items which come to define identity and landscapes. Working within the remit of the CAFE UArctic Thematic Network [Circumpolar Archives, Folklore and Ethnology] and Aberdeen's Centre for the North, the panel will create an open space to discuss how the physical presence of evocative objects enliven and unwrite authoritative cultural settings.
