  Beyond monument. The future of churches: heritage or eradication?

  Ninth international young researchers in heritage conference

  Cette Neuvième rencontre internationale des jeunes chercheurs en patrimoine veut discuter de la patrimonialisation des églises et des chapelles des traditions religieuses historiques en interrogeant sous un angle pragmatique leur passage, depuis l’espace religieux, dans l’espace public de la société civile contemporaine. En assumant à la fois les limites du « monument historique », qui ne peut suffire à nos vouloirs patrimoniaux divers et encore moins à leur soutien financier, et le caractère inéluctable de la conversion de ces lieux de culte, c’est-à-dire de leur affectation à de nouveaux usages, l’on veut examiner le devenir civil des églises et des chapelles et les stratégies de passage qui l’étayent. On interrogera spécifiquement les dimensions suivantes : l’action publique, ses moyens et ses partenaires ; les méthodes de financement ; les moyens de conversion ; les critères de sélection aux différentes échelles territoriales.

  Beyond the monument. The fate of churches: become heritage or disappear?

  IXth International Young Scholars Conference on Heritage

  The Ninth International Young Scholars Conference on Heritage intends to discuss heritage-making with respect to churches and chapels of the historical religious traditions by examining from a pragmatic perspective the transition of these buildings from the religious space to the public space of contemporary civil society. The following dimensions will be specifically addressed: public action, including its means and partners; funding methods; means of conversion; and selection criteria at various territorial scales. Property plans and the appropriate or inappropriate character of eventual uses obviously remain crucial issues as well.
