International Workshop on Angkor/Cambodia: \"Archaeologising\" Heritage.
Local Social Practice vs. Global Virtual Reality

Cluster of Excellence \"Asia and Europe in a Global Perspective\", Karl
Jaspers Centre, Heidelberg University

May 2-5, 2010
Admission Free

It is the aim of this international workshop to initiate an
interdisciplinary discussion about the historical implications and
contemporary challenges behind the concept of a so-called “archaeological
heritage“ between local social practices and global virtual realities.
For this goal, methodological approaches ranging from architectural and
intellectual history, historic preservation and scientific computing will
be presented. Along with other case-studies from Myanmar, India, Nepal,
and Afghanistan, the focus of discussion is the UNESCO World Heritage site
“Archaeological Park of Angkor“ in Cambodia.

This international workshop is organised by Dr. Michael Falser at the
Cluster of Excellence „Asia and Europe in a Global Context“ / Karl Jaspers
Centre of Advanced Transcultural Studies (Chair of Global Art History) in
collaboration with the Institute of Scientific Computing / Heidelberg
Graduate School of Mathematical and Computional Methods for the Sciences,
Heidelberg University.
