Anne-Marie Deisser (University of

Cultural and natural heritage conservation:
cross-disciplinary perspectives
Deisser discusses the ways in which conservators’ ideas
about culture and nature, and their potential partnership are mediated, shaped,
negotiated and contested through legal issues, ethics, local politics, and
respective ‘traditions’. Conservation is explored as a cultural practice, which
is conceived, debated, developed and performed in partnership, as a
cross-disciplinary response to international and local crisis of politics
and/or of socio-cultural values. In these contexts, conservators are concerned
with assessing, modifying, and/or integrating sustainable practices into their
particular settings and seek what partnerships between ‘culture’ and ‘nature’
can offer.
