2019 Summer Course Application:

“Cultural Heritage Conservation Joint Workshop”, Peking University

1. ABOUT THE COURSE

Discussions regarding cultural heritage conservation nowadays have been interdisciplinary, and the cooperation among archaeology, architectural conservation, sociology, anthropology, tourism, ecology, geography, media and arts has been gradually strengthening. Therefore, it seems particularly critical to make comprehensive approaches useful when it comes to the understanding and conservation of cultural heritage. Taking this as a goal, Professor Hang Kan from School of Archaeology and Museology of Peking University and Professor Zhang Chaozhi from School of Tourism Management of Sun Yat-sen University jointly launched the Heritage and Tourism Joint Workshop in the summer of 2018, marking the beginning of interdisciplinary academic and teaching explorations. In 2019, the Joint Workshop has been officially granted the title of the innovative project of the Graduate School of Peking University, and the joint range of disciplines has been expanded.

This summer, experts of various disciplines will be invited to make interdisciplinary discussions, and participants will not only have a chance to listen to the lectures of famous experts, but they will also be organized to conduct field work and be intoxicated by the charm when disciplines meet in the context of cultural heritage conservation, thus jointly making a contribution to cultural heritage conservation.

The course is organized by School of Archaeology and Museology of Peking University, in collaboration with remarkable teachers and resources from Shanxi University, Sun Yat-sen University, etc. A comprehensive teaching team will be formed to integrate cultural heritage conservation, archaeology, architecture, tourism, sociology, anthropology, planning, landscape, ecology, natural geography, digital imaging and art design, and will conduct field work in Donggeshan Village and Xigeshan Village in Pingyao County, Shanxi Province. Pingyao is the home to the world’s cultural heritages, including the Ancient City of Pingyao, Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple. The world is mostly drawn to the Ancient City of Pingyao where you can find the completeness of traditional northern dwellings, the richness of ancient architectures, and a lot of humanistic, social and historical remains, while rural areas where there are also lots of tangible remains and humanistic resources have been overlooked.The Urban-Rural Heritage Conservation Pingyao International Workshop hosted by the Government of Pingyao, has turned their eyes onto the rural heritage. This summer school's activity is also part of the Pingyang International Workshop.

Donggeshan and Xigeshan are two traditional villages in Pingyao, which are becoming empty just like many other traditional villages in China. The purpose of this summer course is to discuss conservation and development countermeasures based on full investigations through interdisciplinary methods.
