PRESERVING THE INTANGIBLE:
SUSTAINING THE MATERIAL AND THE SYMBOLIC
ICOM Committee for Conservation (ICOM-CC) Seoul 2004
ICOM-CC will on Tuesday, October 5, from 09.30 - 13.00, the
day devoted to the Concurrent Sessions on “Protection
of Cultural Heritage", organise a seminar with ten presentations
aimed at prompting a lively discussion between all meeting
participants.
The theme of the session could best be described as focusing
on the intangible properties of material culture. This is
an important part of intangible heritage, which can too easily
be limited to the non-material.
This seminar engages issues of collecting, collection care,
representation and access from a new perspective and hence
will appeal to members from all ICOM Committees – hence
all delegates are invited to this arrangement.
