Presentation

What is the relationship between preservation and globalization? Can one phenomenon help us better understand the other? If globalization is not just an extension of internationalism, then to what degree is it a challenge to the international preservation institutions, NGOs, scientific infrastructures, networks, and research agendas set up in the mid twentieth century to manage “world heritage”? Conversely, how has international preservation participated in globalization? How has this interaction informed prominent international discourses of the postwar era such as sustainability and environmentalism? What forms of cultural politics have these intersections engendered in different contexts? Arguably, there has always been one form or another of “globalization” afoot in the world. From the colonial to the postcolonial eras, power has operated on global scales and has tended to define the local in cultural and traditional terms, sometimes managing it by claiming to preserve it, sometimes controlling it by outlining a need to assimilate it, even eradicate it. Future Anterior seeks papers from scholars in preservation and its allied fields (architecture, history, anthropology, geography, political science, juridical studies, urban studies) that explore the histories of globalization in a variety of geopolitical contexts and timeframes, and that highlight the role of various preservationist enterprises. Papers should not only present rigorous historical research but also outline a critical analysis of the politics of preservation.

Future Anterior is a peer reviewed (refereed) journal that approaches the field of historic preservation from a position of critical inquiry. A comparatively recent field of professional study, preservation often escapes direct academic challenges of its motives, goals, forms of practice and results. Future Anterior seeks contributions that ask these difficult questions from philosophical, theoretical, and critical perspectives. Articles on all topics relevant to historic preservation are accepted on a rolling basis.
