COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Vietnam today faces the pressing challenge to balance the imperatives of sustainable development and of safeguarding its cultural heritage and identity. The Constitutional goal of building “a progressive culture deeply imbued with national identity” has guided Vietnamese policy since 1992 and continues to figure into national strategies for sustainable development for the coming decades. The same challenge has faced countries around the world as they undergo rapid industrialization and post-industrialization, and an array of international treaties has been developed in response to support national efforts and international cooperation. This seminar provides an overview of the development and evolution of concepts of “cultural heritage” over the past hundred years, examines the existing international legal framework, and analyses Vietnamese responses. The focus will be on built cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage; movable heritage, museums, natural heritage, and underwater heritage will be touched upon but not covered in depth.
