Conservation and study of heritage [LARTB303]

Learning outcomes

The course of study must make the student aware of the challenges of the study and conservation of tangible and intangible heritage. It should enable the student to position current doctrines and methods in a broader diachronic and historiographic vision. It should awaken different methodological reflections that the management and conservation of heritage imply and draw the student's attention to the interdisciplinary articulation of these methodologies.

Content

The course runs throughout the year, for one hour per week. It is divided into three parts, which follow each other in a linear structure. The first part is devoted to the history of heritage conservation/restoration, from the beginning of the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 21st century, the second to the legal and administrative framework of heritage conservation, while the third part proposes to deepen the subject by privileging two essential threads conservation/restoration of different materials (stone, wall paintings, stained glass, etc.) and a more global reflection on how to conserve, restore and enhance certain types of heritage (conservation of archaeological heritage, restoration and reuse of places of worship, etc.)
