Abstract: Socialist Monuments, Delayed Heritage, and a Commons to Come<\/h2>\n

Among the inheritances of the states that have emerged from the former Second World are monuments built to commemorate socialist history and advance the socialist revolution. In the post-socialist context, these monuments have tended to either fall into ruin or be incorporated into new ensembles of national heritage. Both mark fundamental transformations: as a ruin, the socialist monument has become socialist waste, while as national heritage, the socialist monument has become a national monument. Taking as a pretext two recent projects that stage deferred encounters with the socialist monument\u2014one an exhibition taking place in a closed gallery and the other a series of videos taking place in the distant future\u2014I explore the ways in which the socialist monument can exist as \u201cdelayed heritage\u201d that defamiliarizes the post-socialist present both by commemorating a commons defeated and anticipating a commons to come.<\/p>\n

Workshop: Conservation by Other Means<\/h2>\n

Date and time TBD<\/p>\n

How are objects, spaces, and practices conserved not only by intentional effort, but also as a by-product, side effect, or result of other efforts or processes? If there is a \u201cconservation by other means,\u201d where might we look for it and how might we understand its consequences for conservation-as-such? In this workshop, we will informally share examples of what a conservation by other means might consist of and discuss its implications for thinking about and doing heritage conservation more generally.<\/p>\n

This event is co-sponsored by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the School of Canadian Studies.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
