Digitising Heritage: Transoceanic Connections between Australia and Europe
‘Digitising Heritage’ presents new interdisciplinary studies about the diverse manifestations of heritage in digital form, in museums, academic institutions, politics, and history. Individual contributions span across literary studies, forensics, physics, sound studies, law, postcolonial studies, archaeology, migration and museum studies. How can researchers and practitioners make effective use of digital technologies to foster a sustainable heritage engagement? To what extend can critical heritage concepts find expression in the digital age? The volume answers these questions in a multimedia format that combines audio, video, 3D graphics and technologies.
The Scholar’s Choice: Lieblingsstücke Heidelberger Wissenschaftler aus dem Völkerkundemuseum der von Portheim-Stiftung. Eine Ausstellung anlässlich der Eröffnung des Centrums für Asienwissenschaften und Transkulturelle Studien (CATS)
This volume, which emerged from an exhibition of the same name, comprises seventeen objects from the Ethnological Museum of the von Portheim Foundation in Heidelberg that address various themes of life: love, disguise by masks or jewellery, religion, music, food, measurement and weighing, books, weapons, travel, domination, death. The objects were selected as their favourite pieces by Heidelberg scholars associated with the Centre for Asian Studies and Transcultural Studies, which opened in 2019.
