It builds on recent trends as w ell as enthusiasm around a virtual panel organized at the bi-annual Critic al Heritage Studies Congress in August\, 2020 at the University College Lo ndon. In response\, this academic event seeks to pave the way for a substa ntive interdisciplinary dialogue including social\, humanities and technic al sciences and further reflection.\n\n\nMichael Herzfeld\, Harvard Univer sity\, Keynote Crafting the Artisan: Creativity as Material Performance an d Social Challenge\n\nDescriptions of heritage\, guidance and norms rarely denote the central role that innovation and creativity play in conservati on. Emphasis in narrative terms tends to focus on connections to the past\ , rehearsing long-standing dichotomies between authentic heritage and chan ge. Many times\, creativity and the ensuing transformations of both rural and urban spaces tend to remain hidden behind exposed artefacts and offici al representations\, silenced by authorized heritage discourse or simply r elegated as vernacular practices. Ranging from massive infrastructure cons truction\, speculative architecture and total material transformations of heritage sites to micro-level restoration and beautification techniques by local craftsmen\, innovation clearly takes different forms\, values and p ositionalities in the context of heritage. Such phenomena prompt the need for further theoretical reflection. Furthermore\, EPFL as hub for heritage \, technology and innovation offers an atypical yet productive environment to deepen this conversation.\n\nIn summary\, this academic event seeks to shed light on the diversity of innovation and creativity found in the her itage field at different levels\, implemented by multiple actors and their significance for practices. Presentations include both empirical case-stu dies and theoretical perspectives\, which will form part of a special issu e of a peer-reviewed open-access journal dedicated to this topic.\n------- --------------\nProgram:\n> Download the pdf program\n\n Day 1\, November 4\, 2021 - Room AAC 108\n 9:00 - 9:10: Welcome coffee and opening remarks by Béla Kapossy\, Dean of the College of Humanities\, EPFL\n 9:10 - 9:40 : Introductory remarks: reframing heritage\, creativity and innovation\, F lorence Graezer Bideau and Peter Bille Larsen\, CDH\, EPFL   \n 9:45 -1 0:45: Michael Herzfeld\, Harvard University\, Keynote Crafting the Artisan : Creativity as Material Performance and Social Challenge\n 10:45 - 11:00: Coffee break\n 11:00 ­- 12:30: Panel 1: Creative heritage techniques rev isited\n Sarah Kenderdine\, EPFL: ‘Insurgent acts of translation’: exp eriments from the archive\n Harriet Deacon\, Coventry University: Rethinki ng concepts of authenticity: repertoire and innovation in the HIPAMS proje ct (heritage-sensitive intellectual property and marketing strategies)\n 1 3:00 - 14:00: Lunch\n 14:00 - 15:30: Panel 2: Governance creativity and in novation\n Luca Zan\, University of Bologna (Economist): Cultural Heritage and Identity building in current China.
