CONVOCATORIA
For
those who work in traditional industries in the UK 2015 was a year of loss and
disappointment. The highly publicized closure of the SSI Steelworks in Redcar
and the shutting down of Kellingley Colliery, the last deep coal mine in the
UK, among others, indicates that we are gradually losing first-hand accounts
and personal links to the industrial past.
In
contrast, however, of the twenty-four new inscriptions on the UNESCO World
Heritage List in 2015 there was a strong industrial heritage component ranging
from the Fray Bentos meat processing works in Uruguay to the Champagne
landscapes of France and including Scotland’s Forth Bridge as a masterpiece of
industrial engineering. This cohort of new Industrial World Heritage sites from
Europe, South America and Asia join an existing range of successful and iconic
sites such as the Ironbridge Gorge and the Zollverien Industrial Complex. After
long years of being regarded as comparatively underrepresented on the World
Heritage List it seems that Industrial Heritage has finally gained a foothold
on the global stage.
In spite of this increased profile, however, the
actual concept of ‘Industrial World Heritage’ is relatively under-researched.
What
does it mean to be an Industrial World Heritage site?
How
do communities of interest relate to their industrial heritage being inscribed?
How
do visitors engage with industrial sites World Heritage aspects?
How
will sites engage younger generations with Industrial World Heritage?
What
does the future look like for Industrial World Heritage?
The
theme of the 3rd issue of the IIICH Postgraduate journal furnace is Industrial
World Heritage.
