The journal\u00a0Change Over Time: An International Journal of Conservation and the Built<\/em><\/p>\n Environment<\/em>, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, invites submissions for the Fall 2019<\/p>\n issue.<\/p>\n A HERITAGE OF WAR, CONFLICT, AND COMMEMORATION<\/p>\n Guest Editor: William Chapman<\/p>\n Sites of war and conflict that symbolize collective loss or that served as pivotal moments in<\/p>\n national or global history are sometimes elevated to the status of \u201cheritage.\u201d Battlefields, sites<\/p>\n of bombings, or places of terrorist attacks are all marked by human tragedy and acts of violence<\/p>\n and their interpretation is inherently conflictual. This issue of\u00a0Change Over Time\u00a0<\/em>examines<\/p>\n heritage produced by violent acts of destruction and our efforts to commemorate the complex<\/p>\n narratives these sites embody.<\/p>\n To support the interpretation of sites characterized by absence, we have often erected<\/p>\n commemorative memorials of various forms from plaques and commissioned statuary to the<\/p>\n presentation of charred and damaged remnants of what stood before. Examples featuring the<\/p>\n vestiges of physical destruction include: the hull of the USS Arizona, sunk during Japan\u2019s 7<\/p>\n December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor; the skeleton of the domed administrative building that<\/p>\n marked the zero point of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945; the stabilized walls of<\/p>\n St. Michael\u2019s Cathedral in Coventry, a victim of the German Luftwaffe\u2019s November 1940 blitz;<\/p>\n and the \u201cSurvivors\u2019 Stairs,\u201d the last remaining element of the World Trade Center following its<\/p>\n destruction on 11 September 2001. In this issue, we invite contributors to interrogate the types<\/p>\n and nature of heritage produced out of war and conflict, the forms of its commemoration, and<\/p>\n the challenges associated with its conservation. We encourage contributors to consider the<\/p>\n influence of class, politics, and culture in commemorative expressions; the technical and<\/p>\n conceptual challenges of conserving objects or places of destruction; inclusive or conflicting<\/p>\n (re)interpretation; and evolving perceptions of places over time.<\/p>\n We welcome contributions representing a broad array of geographic, cultural, temporal, and<\/p>\n historical contexts that may or may not include vestiges of destruction but that do address the<\/p>\n complex attributes of collective place based tragedy. Submissions may include, but are not<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n limited to, case studies, theoretical explorations, and evaluations of current practices or policies<\/p>\n as they pertain to the conservation and commemoration of heritage of war and conflict.<\/p>\n Abstracts of 200-300 words are due 1 August 2018. Authors will be notified of provisional<\/p>\n paper acceptance by 1 September 2018. Final manuscript submissions will be due late<\/p>\n November 2018.<\/p>\n Submission<\/p>\n Articles are generally restricted to 7,500 or fewer words (the approximate equivalent to thirty<\/p>\n pages of double-spaced, twelve-point type) and may include up to ten images.
