------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers 2nd Annual Ename International Colloquium: Who Owns the Past? Heritage Rights and Responsibilities in a Multicultural World Ghent, Belgium 22-25 March 2006 The Province of East-Flanders, the Provincial Archaeological Museum - Ename, the Flemish Heritage Institute, and the Ename Center for Public Archaeology and Heritage Presentation are pleased to announce the revised format of the 2nd Annual Ename International Colloquium to be held 22-25 March 2006 in Ghent, Belgium. Following last year's colloquium on "Memory and Identity", it is clear that in many places in the world, heritage is in conflict. Case studies from the United States, Vietnam, Israel, Palestine, South Africa, and sites of Holocaust commemoration in Europe show how the past can become the subject of contention. Yet as the presentations of last year's speakers demonstrated, these clashing historical visions can be overcome through productive intercultural dialogue. This year the Ename International Colloquium will examine challenges posed by the study and commemoration of heritage within modern multicultural societies. The most challenging questions focus on issues of diversity, inclusiveness, and contested ownership rights. A special feature of this year's colloquium will be a day of Round Table discussions focussed on practical problem-solving and the formulation of innovative approaches to public heritage. All interested colloquium participants, including archaeologists, historians, heritage administrators, cultural technologists, and specialists in cultural property law are invited to submit 250-500 word case studies on particular heritage problems they have encountered in their research or professional experience. These case studies will provide the basis for the Round Table discussions and a selecti on of these case studies will be published in fuller form in the colloquium proceedings. We invite all interested colloquium participants to submit innovative case-studies relating to the conference themes. These case studies will become the discussion points of the round-table workshops during Day 2. Case studies should be a maximum of 500 words, in English. They can be sent by fax to +32-55-303-519, by email to colloquium@enamecenter.org, or included with the registration form. All authors should include full contact information (name, institutional affiliation if any, mailing address, phone, fax and e-mail). The submission deadline for case studies is 15 February 2006. We would appreciate if you would distribute this announcement to any interested colleagues. For questions or requests for additional information, please visit our website www.enamecenter.org or contact colloquium@enamecenter.org . We hope you find this colloquium to be of interest and look forward to seeing you in Ghent!
