Liisa Seppänen is adjunct professor of urban archaeology in Turku University. She has degrees both in archaeology (PhD, University of Turku) and cultural history (MA, University of Turku) and background also in business, marketing and communication. In her PhD Thesis (2012) she presented a comprehensive analysis of the construction activities and townscape of the medieval Turku, which is the oldest town of the present-day Finland and one of the biggest towns of the medieval Sweden. Since then she has continued with the subject and widened the perspective into town planning and urban development on a more multidisciplinary level. Seppänen is an experienced field archaeologist who has worked on large urban excavation projects. In 2013–2014 she conducted the largest excavations so far in Finland in the centre of the city of Lahti with more than 1,2 ha. The excavations in Lahti brought along new studies related to collaboration between different parties involved in city planning and construction as well as questions related to valuating, preserving and presenting cultural heritage. She is also interested in theoretical issues related to the processes of urban change and social complexity. She belongs to international network Archaeology, Architecture and Contemporary City Planning established in 2013. Main realizations / publications related to this topic: Seppänen, L. 2014. Digs, data collection and dissemination – any chance for wider collaboration? Architecture, Archaeology and Contemporary City Planning. Proceedings of the Workshop, Firenze 16–18th June. Eds. Giorgio Verdiani & Per Cornell. Firenze (Universita degli studi Firenze, Dipartimento di Architettura 2014, 115–124. Invited lectures: 1) University of Bergen 11.5.2015: How do we value the archaeological information and disseminate the past? 2) University of Turku 20.11.2014: Valuation and use of archaeological material in cultural heritage

What does heritage change for tourism? | Le patrimoine, ça change quoi au tourisme? Ce débat veut interroger les relations entre le tourisme et le patrimoine et dépasser ainsi les idées reçues sur l'antagonisme entre le tourisme "corrupteur" et le patrimoine qui en serait la victime. Il s'agit donc de repenser le tourisme comme un réel acteur du patrimoine, de sa valorisation et de son appropriation, y compris par les populations locales. Cela présuppose, au p...

Heritage as an Agent of Change (Epistemologies, Ontologies, Teaching)

This forum will explore the current directions of critical heritage studies and what makes ACHS distinctive. Panel members will discuss what the term critical means to them, and what directions they would like to see develop in the future. To help develop an open dialogue, the session will also give considerable time to contributions from the audience.

Le patrimoine, ça change quoi ? Ou plutôt, qu'est-ce que c'est ? Et pour qui ? Ces questions sont à l'origine de cette exposition conçue par les étudiants à la maîtrise en muséologie UQAM-UdeM. L'opinion de la communauté uqamienne y est confrontée à des citations de chercheurs, avec comme résultat une mise en perspective originale du discours sur le patrimoine. __ How is heritage important? Or rather, what is heritage? And for whom? Those questions are at the core of this e...

What if we changed our views on heritage? And if heritage has already changed? While, on the global scene, states maintain their leading role in the mobilization of social and territorial histories, on the local scale, regions, neighbourhoods and parishes have changed. Citizens and communities too: they latch on to heritage to express an unprecedented range of belongings that no law seems to be able to take measures to contain, often to the discontent of...

With his expression "ceci tuera cela," Hugo established almost two centuries ago a strong link between words and stones as transmission vehicles of human memory. We heritage experts would be inclined to consider stones as more reliable than words, what semiology seems to confirm: stones are clues, and clues are, according to Roland Barthes, tangible proofs of “what has been.” But the inspector Columbo has often shown how we can play with these clues, and Umberto Eco would easily forgive us th...

Directed by Tom Fassaert and presented by Marc Jacobs. ___ Doel, a Belgian village near the Dutch border, is disappearing quickly and deliberately. Not because of the four old nuclear reactors on its territory, but because the Flemish government decided that the village might block projects for new docks for the Antwerp harbour, plans developed since the 1960s. In the 21st century this process of officially encouraged depopulation is coming to an end: 2500 inhabitants i...

Cities are growingly being faced by social, economic, cultural and environmental challenges imposing health and social risks. Rapid urbanization, population growth, climate change are only some of the major global challenges that a 21st century city needs to respond to. The current challenging global environment has led to the development of new approaches to the concept of "sustainable city" a city that caters for current and future generation. For instance, the idea of smart city (a city th...

In addressing the theme of this conference, we argue that archaeology, above and beyond the traditional goals of research and post-excavation analyses, may contribute to economic development, education and the creation of identities and communities. Our session "What does Heritage Change? Case Studies in Archaeology," is divided into two themes starting with archaeological practice through its legislation and management. Contract or commercial archaeology increasingly comprises the vast major...

Heritage Changes PlaceCo-Construction and Community Based HeritageActivists and Experts

Involving communities, visitors or the public is frequently presented as one of the major tasks of museums and heritage sites in current global movements toward new collaborative paradigms (Golding and Modest 2013; Watson and Waterton 2011). Co-production is a highly current issue, and a proposed emancipatory solution to the authorized heritage discourse, which seemingly has reached a critical juncture. Scholarship has echoed calls from communities for more direct involvement in the presentat...
