2020 SPECIAL FOCUS - REFLECTING ON COMMUNITY BUILDING: WAYS OF CREATING AND TRANSMITTING HERITAGE

The special focus of the 15th Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference is heritage, a concept of central importance in today’s academic and public discourse. The conference will explore its meaning, premises, manifestations and outcomes in today’s globalized society, culture, education, economy and politics. From local communities to entire ethnic groups and nations, people increasingly define themselves in terms of specific cultural features and elements. Such groups consider that these features and elements encapsulate the essence of their identity and constitute a distinct heritage. Heritage practices, and the very meaning of heritage, its safeguarding and promotion, are associated with modernity and its manifestations, such as industrialization, urbanization, globalization, and concern with the physical and cultural environment.
