Welcome
Heritage-Border Complexes is an academic concept that seeks to explore the relationship between heritages and the modern borders on which it is practiced. In examining these connections it can be better understood how they affect the geography, nature, and political relationships the said bordering regions sustain with each other.
This concept was formed in the later half of 2018 by heritage academics, Ali Mozaffari of Deakin University and David Charles Harvey of Aarhus University. Each of them having done previous work on heritages and borders, they two joined forces to organize a symposium on the subject in 2019 at Deakin University in Melbourne Australia.
Further collaboration has resulted in funded research, a forthcoming book, and a podcast series.
Guiding Motives
Guiding Motives
1. To develop heritage-border complexes as a conceptual analytical framework to contribute to scholarship. This is an academic and intellectual contribution to heritage at large.
2. To identify the emerging contact zones where concrete cases of heritage-border complexes contribute to shaping new imaginaries at various scales.
3. To foster an interdisciplinary collaborative network that can engage in aspects of heritage-border complexes as a future area of enquiry with practical implications for heritage management.
