Course Description Cultural Heritage can be defined as a set of objects and practices that a community finds important to preserve and therefore infuses with new meaning. Often if not always, the process of making heritage is or becomes a site of contention between state and organized citizens or NGOs and other parties. This process seems to have become increasingly important during the past few decades, because of the revenues and international prestige states gain from its management. Focusing on the Republic of Indonesia and a few other sites in Southeast Asia, we will discuss some of the current trends in the field of Heritage Studies and political and socio-cultural ramifications that certain heritage sites have had in recent years. While the focus will be on Critical Heritage Studies, we will explore recent literature about Cultural Heritage in Southeast Asia and train students in critical reflection and research methods. It may be clear that the management of historical sites, the memories people have about them and the acts of remembrance stimulated by local organisations, both governmental and non-governmental, are not limited to Southeast Asia. Therefore, quite conveniently, we can try to find out how the different stakeholders involved in the management and promotion of, or feel attached to, such sites, think and act with regard to these heritage sites. Therefore, the students are required to design small group or individual projects to do research about these sites and interview stakeholders in Germany. If the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic would allow, we may organize excursions to heritage sites of special significance, such as the Nikolai Kirche in the centre of the city or the Jewish cemitary in Altona. If, due to the Corona crisis no such projects are possible, we may shift our attention to online heritage projects. Besides presenting about this project in the form of a film, powerpoint presentation, or other (perhaps) more artistic form, students are also required to write a paper about the heritage management of a site in Southeast Asia. As preparations for these assignments, we will read and discuss articles about different aspects and angles of the field of heritage studies.
