Die Heritage at Risk-Reihe (World Reports on Monuments and Sites in Danger) wurde 1999 von ICOMOS International auf der Generalversammlung in Mexiko ins Leben gerufen mit dem Ziel, eine breite Öffentlichkeit möglichst aktuell über die gravierendsten Bedrohungen für das Kulturerbe, darunter für UNESCO-Welterbestätten, zu informieren, repräsentative Fallstudien vorzustellen und wenn möglich Lösungsansätze anzubieten. Zu diesem Zweck werden jedes Mal die Nationalkomitees und wissenschaftlichen Komitees von ICOMOS aufgefordert, Berichte vorzubereiten.
Seit dem Jahr 2000 sind mehrere Heritage at Risk-Bände mit einer Vielzahl von Länder- und Themenberichten erschienen, des Weiteren sogenannte „Special Editions“ zum sowjetischen Bauerbe, zum Unterwassererbe und zur Gefährdung des Kulturerbes durch Naturkatastrophen.

From Memory to Marble
From Memory to Marble
Author(s)
Author(s)
The book is a rare case study of the dynamics, processes and shifts around the creation and reading of one of the world’s major monuments, through all the processes of its design and making. The frieze which represents the Great Trek and Voortrekker occupation of South Africa (1835-52) is one of the largest of its kind. The key question is how, a century later, were eighteen years of Voortrekker memory transformed into a 92-metre marble frieze?Keywords

Food Taboos and Biblical Prohibitions: Reassessing Archaeological and Literary Perspectives

Published in English.This volume presents contributions from »The Larger Context of the Biblical Food Prohibitions: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Approaches« conference held in Lausanne in June, 2017. The biblical food prohibitions constitute an excellent object for comparative and interdisciplinary approaches given their materiality, their nature as comparative objects between cultures, and their nature as an anthropological object. This volume articulates these three aspects within an integrated and dynamic perspective, bringing together contributions from Levantine archaeology, ancient Near Eastern studies, and anthropological and textual perspectives to form a new, multi-disciplinary foundation for interpretation.
