"Saving Venice": local, global and transnational perspectives on cultural heritage in children's fantasy

"Saving Venice": local, global and transnational perspectives on cultural heritage in children's fantasy
(2019)
Myers, Lindsay
Abstract:
Children s literature has always been heavily influenced by the local and national climate in which it is produced, the birth of this literature having coincided in many places with the formation of the nation-state. Over the last 50 years, however, the effects of globalization have radically transformed the relationship between authors and their markets, and a new tension has arisen in children s texts between the local and the global. Celebrating commonality across boundaries while simultaneously safeguarding the tutelage of cultural heritage can be particularly difficult, especially when (as is the case with Venice) that heritage has been singled out by UNESCO as being under threat. This essay undertakes a close reading of three 21st-century fantasies for children set in Venice: Mary Hoffman s Stravaganza: City of Masks, Laura Walter s Mistica Maeva e l anello di Venezia, and Michelle Lovric s The Undrowned Child, all of which have been translated into other languages and reached...

20:20 Hindsight. Retrofitting research relevance to the University Art Collections at Trinity College Dublin.
(2010)
GILTRAP, CATHERINE
Abstract:
This paper considers the role of university art collections as meaningful contributors to the achievement of institutional goals relating to excellence in research, teaching and outreach. The discussion takes as its focus The University of Dublin, Trinity College, established in 1592, providing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a wide range of disciplines. As practical fine art courses are not part of the teaching agenda, the university?s art collections have evolved mainly as a historical narrative of the significant figures and achievements of its parent institution, parallel to the core business of research and teaching. While the other academic collections at the university, from anatomy to zoology, were generated by object based learning, it was only from 1959 onwards that the art collections were actively developed and exploited as a catalyst for informal learning and interdisciplinary engagement, driven by the actions of one man in particular, the late George W. P. Da...

Reconciling immersion and presence: Locative game mechanics and narrative techniques for cultural heritage
(2017)
Haahr, Mads
Abstract:
Locative gaming dates back to the early 2000s, and with the success of Ingress (2012) and Pok?mon GO (2016), locative games have now entered the mainstream in a very serious way. However, while the genre holds considerable promise for cultural heritage, it has yet to make a real impact for this purpose. A particular challenge is to reconcile the two apparently conflicting concerns of ensuring immersion into the experience without compromising the audience's sense of presence in the physical space. For example, Ingress and Pok?mon GO offer excellent immersion in the gameplay but at the cost of near-total loss of the player's sense of presence in the physical environment, even to the extent that accidents occur. For cultural heritage, presence is not only about safety, but also about the audience experiencing the site and not only the digital content. In this paper, we argue that for locative games to be successful for cultural heritage, they must bridge the design tension b...

Gawade, Dinesh R.; Buckley, John; Rather, Nadeem N.; Ziemann, Steffen; Zabeo, Alex; Barton, John; Iacopino, Daniela; Schuhmann, Katharina; Anders, Manfred; Burke, Micheal; Quinn, Aidan; O'Flynn, Brendan
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel, low-cost, battery-less Near-Field Communication (NFC) sensor transponder for museum artefact monitoring of Cultural Heritage objects. The proposed solution combines a unique combination of packaging materials and NFC technology to enable a low-cost preventive conservation solution that is practical to implement, something that is not possible at present. Cultural Heritage objects and artefacts are valuable objects housed by museums and are often stored in uncontrolled climatic conditions, which may lead to degradation of these objects. Preventive conservation is a new strategy that aims to avoid future degradation of these types of valuable objects. Recently, NFC sensor transponders have shown an increased use in food and pharmaceutical cold supply chains for monitoring, but these commercial solutions are expensive to implement and cannot be easily adapted for museum artefact monitoring. In this work, we present a battery-less, long shelf life, low-cost ...

Investigating Entity Linking in Early English Legal Documents
(2018)
Lawless, Seamus
Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the accuracy and overall suitability of a variety of Entity Linking systems for the task of disambiguating entities in 17 th century depositions obtained during the 1641 Irish Rebellion. The depositions are extremely difficult for modern NLP tools to work with due to inconsistent spelling, use of language and archaic references. In order to assess the severity of difficulty faced by Entity Linking systems when working with these documents we use the depositions to create an evaluation corpus. This corpus is used as an input to the General Entity Annotator Benchmarking Framework, a standard benchmarking platform for entity annotation systems. Based on this corpus and the results obtained from General Entity Annotator Benchmarking Framework we observe that the accuracy of existing Entity Linking systems is lacking when applied to content like these depositions. This is due to a number of issues ranging from problems with existing state-of-the-art systems t...

Co-designing a collaborative with cultural heritage professionals
(2014)
McDermott, Fiona; Maye, Laura A.; Avram, Gabriela
Abstract:
The paper describes our work undertaken as part of a EU-funded collaborative project involving twelve partners from six European countries, aiming to provide a platform for the creation of tangible smart exhibits to enable heritage professionals to design and assemble physical artefacts enriched by digital content in a DIY manner. Our approach is grounded on principles of co-design, the broad participation of designers, developers and stakeholders into the process, and on a Do-It-Yourself philosophy to making and experimentation. Hands-on design and prototyping workshops are employed throughout the project to inform and shape development. The paper focuses on these co-design activities, wherein cultural heritage professionals (CHPs), designers and technologists work together in local and consortium-wide workshops to co-create the DIY platform. It presents the results of an investigation into the design thinking, practices, and processes of a particular set of users - cultural herita...

Cork is the Lee
(2019)
Scriven, Richard
Abstract:
This project combined a podcast and audio workshop to explore the cultural and natural heritage role of the river Lee in the life of Cork city. It was co-led by Dr Richard Scriven, building on his work into local cultural heritage and the use of sound as a research and dissemination tool. Vicky Langan, independent artist, contributed greatly to project in the making and editing of extensive field recordings. The project was received a Cork City Council Local Heritage Grant, which supported the production and dissemination of a podcast, and the running of a performative sonic workshop during Heritage Week 2019. Using the unique capacity of sound to convey meaning and evoke emotions, this project combines interviews with people who use and appreciate the Lee, historical sources, and field recordings to create a rich and unique insight into river as a cultural and natural heritage. The podcast benefits from the popularity and accessibility of the medium and its capacity to reach larger...

Creating tangible interactions with cultural heritage: lessons learned from a large scale,long term co-design project
(2019)
Avram, Gabriela; Ciolfi, Luigina; Mayea, Laura
Abstract:
We reflect on the process, outcomes and value generated by applying co-design to a large scale, long-term (4 years) collaboration involving designers, developers and cultural heritage professionals, with the goal of creating a platform for the realisation of tangible interactive installations. The project was pioneering in establishing and sustaining co-design for the introduction of sector-changing technology into the museum domain. We gathered extensive data about the co-design process itself, including interviews investigating the participants’ experiences and the impact on their practices. The paper provides insights from such case study, particularly with respect to value co-creation.

Curate and Storyspace: an Ontology and Web-Based Environment for Describing Curatorial Narratives
(2012)
Mulholland, Paul; Wolff, Annika; Collins, Trevolr
Abstract:
focus on describing the heritage objects that the museum holds in its collection. These are used to manage and describe individual heritage objects according to properties such as artist, date and preservation requirements. Curatorial narratives, such as physical or online exhibitions tell a story that spans across heritage objects and have a meaning that does not necessarily reside in the individual heritage objects themselves. Here we present curate, an ontology for describing curatorial narratives. This draws on structuralist accounts that distinguish the narrative from the story and plot, and also a detailed analysis of two museum exhibitions and the curatorial processes that contributed to them. storyspace, our web based interface and API to the ontology, is being used by curatorial staff in two museums to model curatorial narratives and the processes through which they are constructed.

Integration of HBIM and 3D GIS for Digital Heritage Modelling
(2012)
Dore, Conor; Murphy, Maurice
Abstract:
This paper outlines a new approach for digitally recording cultural heritage sites from laser scan data or photogrammetric data. This approach involves 3D modelling stage and the integration of the 3D model into a 3D GIS for further management and analysis. The modelling stage is carried out using a new concept; Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM). HBIM uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) software with parametric and procedural modelling techniques to automate the modelling stage. The HBIM process involves a reverse engineering solution whereby parametric objects representing architectural elements are mapped onto laser scan or photogrammetric survey data. A library of parametric architectural objects has been designed from historic manuscripts and architectural pattern books. These parametric objects were built using an embedded scripting language within the BIM software called Geometric Descriptive Language (GDL). Using this embedded scripting language, elements o...

Investigating the practices of cultural heritage professionals integrating digital technologies in a small museum
(2016)
Maye, Laura A.
Abstract:
This thesis is situated in the discipline of HCI and contributes toward understanding the role of digital technology in cultural heritage interpretation. Cultural heritage professionals (CHPs), including curators and museum educators, are increasingly adopting digital technologies to engage visitors in their museums. The growing availability of and access to technology opens opportunities for CHPs with limited experience of interactive technologies to create content for and configure visitor interactions with technology. This provides avenues for small museums to integrate interactive technologies. However, there remains a gap in understanding how CHPs undertake evolving technology-enabled practices in context. Therefore, this study investigates the practices of CHPs in a small museum, as they become more prominently involved in using digital technologies. The study focuses on CHPs working at The Hunt Museum in Limerick (Ireland) where I have been a volunteer for three years. Ba...

Investigation of the Rail-Induced Vibrations on a Masonry Historical Building
(2013)
Erkal, Aykut; Laefer, Debra F.; Fanning, Paul; Durukal, Eser; Hancilar, Ufuk; Kaya, Yavuz
Abstract:
Increasingly historic masonry buildings are subjected to higher levels of traffic and rail vibrations due to urbanization and population growth. Deterioration and destabilisation of these buildings may result, especially if they were previously damaged (e.g. earthquakes or settlement problems). To better understand building response, vibration measurements were conducted on the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque, located adjacent to Istanbul’s Sirkeci-Halkali railway line. Transport-induced vibrations were recorded at several points on the ground and building. Attenuation characteristics in the ground and amplification features on the building were examined. Peak particle velocities often exceeded previously established thresholds for human perception and in some cases for structural damage. These are evaluated with respect to the building’s condition.

Learningful play: Exploring the design of technology, learning and play to enhance children’s engagement with cultural heritage in schools and museums
(2021)
McHugh, Sally
Abstract:
This research explores the design, development and evaluation of a Technology-enhanced Cultural Heritage Education (TECHe) learning model to enhance children’s engagement with their local heritage and place. Following an exploratory pilot study playful learning emerged as a way forward for engaging children with their local heritage. Drawing on the theoretical work of Mitch Resnick (2006), ‘learningful play’ which is a combination of play, technology and learning, was adopted as a learning approach. The potential of learningful play for heritage education is that it fosters deep learning and engagement with subject matter. Using a design-based research (DBR) methodology, this research set out to explore if learningful play could enhance children’s engagement with heritage and place. DBR is a flexible, iterative, interventionist approach for designing practical solutions to complex educational problems and is carried out in natural educational settings. Thus, it was deemed to be a su...

Living together with ancestors: cultural heritage and sacred places on West Java
(2017)
Hellman, Jörgen
Abstract:
On Java (Indonesia), sacred places (tempat keramat) are powerful and contested sites. Historically they have served as important pilgrimage sites and more recently have also become major tourist attractions. In this paper, I will explore three ways of ‘past presencing’ - the nationalist, the Islamic and the traditional - and how groups representing each of these challenge one another at different sites. Today, sacred places in Indonesia are caught between the political ambitions of some who wish to create national cultural heritage, the aspirations of religious revivalists who want to cleanse the sites of what they consider superstition, and the desires of others to perform local traditions of ancestor veneration. The sites are therefore subject to claims by politicians, tourists and pilgrims as well as by ancestor spirits. The main ethnographic material in this paper deals with a pilgrimage to Mount Sunda, a pilgrimage site at which people meet with ancestors to ask for help to imp...

On a Linked Data platform for Irish historical vital records
(2015)
Debruyne, Christophe
Abstract:
The Irish Record Linkage 1864-1913 is a multi-disciplinary project aiming to create a platform for analyzing events captured in historical birth, marriage and death records by applying semantic technologies for annotating, storing and inferring information from the data contained in those records. This enables researchers to, for instance, investigate to what extent maternal and infant mortality rates were underreported. We report on the semantic architecture, provide motivation for the adoption of RDF and Linked Data principles, and elaborate on the ontology construction process that was influenced by both the requirements of the digital archivists and historians. Concerns of digital archivists include the preservation of the archival record and following best practices in preservation, cataloguing and data protection. The historians in this project wish to discover certain patterns in those vital records. An important aspect of the semantic architecture is the clear separation of ...

Storyspace: a Story-Driven Approach for Creating Musuem Narratives
(2012)
Wolff, Annika; Mulholland, Paul; Collins, Tevor
Abstract:
In a curated exhibition of a museum or art gallery, a selection of heritage objects and associated information is presented to a visitor for the purpose of telling a story about them. The same underlying story can be presented in a number of different ways. This paper describes techniques for creating multiple alternative narrative structures from a single underlying story, by selecting different organising principles for the events and plot structures of the story. These authorial decisions can produce different dramatic effects. Storyspace is a web interface to an ontology for describing curatorial narratives. We describe how the narrative component of the Storyspace software can produce multiple narratives from the underlying stories and plots of curated exhibitions. Based on the curator’s choice, the narrative module suggests a coherent ordering for the events of a story and its associated heritage objects. Narratives constructed through Storyspace can be tailored to suit differ...

Supporting cultural heritage professionals adopting and shaping interactive technologies in museums
(2017)
Maye, Laura A.; Bouchard, Dominique; Avram, Gabriela; Ciolfi, Luigina
Abstract:
Increasingly, cultural heritage professionals (CHPs) (including curators, museum directors, and education officers) are becoming more involved in designing interactive technologies. Specifically, growing access to and availability of digital technology enables CHPs, who may have limited experience with interactive technologies, to create content for and integrate these technologies into their museums. With these developments, there is a growing importance in investigating how CHPs build understandings of these tools in context; this is particularly since curators aim to learn how those tools can support their audiences. In this paper, we highlight how CHPs formed understandings for integrating an interactive tool to support an intended visitor experience into the museum environment through experimentation. Inspired by lessons learned, we propose design recommendations for interaction designers and HCI experts in designing tools and resources that support CHPs to experiment with vari...

The Camino de Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and The Via Francigena (Italy): a comparison between two important historic pilgrimage routes in Europe
(2016)
Lucarno, Guido
Abstract:
The Italian section of the Via Francigena, a Medieval pilgrimage route to Rome, has not yet been commercialised to its full potential when compared to the Camino de Santiago in Spain. There are many reasons for this under development. First, there is an absence of a specialised organisation focused on utilising the resources available; a difficulty that could be overcome by the forming a tourism body with the specific charter for developing these resources and attracting tourism. Second, the weight of the cultural heritage of Rome in the contest for religious tourism takes away from the valorisation of other pilgrimage routes of Italy. Nevertheless, since 2007 in the provinces of Parma, Massa Carrara, La Spezia and Lucca some effort, from both a religious and cultural perspective, has been made to advance tourism on the local leg of the route. By doing this, pilgrims and tourists have begun to walk along the ancient paths of faith towards Rome again. This paper examines reasons for ...

Abstract:
The global scale and unpredictable nature of climate change impacts on cultural heritage poses a challenge for conservation management. This article explores the potential of indicators as an aid for decision makers in the heritage sector. The author proposes a new indicator tool for addressing long-term stone recession impacts that may be related to climate change. The indicator is being installed at two World Heritage sites in Ireland but no results are available. The prototype was developed during doctoral research at the Dublin Institute of Technology.
