Heritage as Placemaking panel at The Annual Kathmandu Conference on Nepal and the Himalaya

  • Social Science Baha (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Multiple researchers on the Heritage as Placemaking team co-organized a panel at the Annual Kathmandu Conference on Nepal and the Himalaya (27–29 July 2022). The panel took into account myriad and multifarious functions, uses, and values of heritage that are put to work for the purposes of governance, self-governance, sense of place, community as well as urban planning. These politics and practices are relationally co-constituted in the production of place, space and subjectivities with regressive and progressive possibilities. To this end, the papers in this proposed panel together document and examine the role of heritage in forming cleavages of divisiveness and difference on the one hand, and the possibilities for solidarity and commoning, on the other.
