CONNECTING THINGS
Publication series “Identity and Heritage”, Vol. 5
Janna Vogl, Ayşegül Dinççağ Kahveci, Mariam Gegidze, Pablo Santacana López (Eds.)
Those researching on identity and heritage constructs examine objects, places, or traditions, revealing connections to objects that are symbolically charged in multiple ways and can become relevant as heritage for different groups.
The 5th volume of the Research Training Group “Identity and Heritage” focuses on the relationships that are formed and (de-)stabilized by objects and their social contexts. The contributions in this volume explore the tension between the reinforcement of supposed continuity and the motivation for change that material aspects of heritage can bring. They address the role of affects, question the instrumentalization of things in heritage processes, examine what can be understood as ‘substance’, and explore how material ‘remnants’ are dealt with.
What exactly are things, items, or objects – and what significance do they have for inheritance practices?

Publication series “Identity and Heritage”
In this series, contributions by international academics, architects and artists are published on the key research areas of the DFG Research Training Group “Identity and Heritage”. The interdisciplinary research training group, which is running at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and the TU Berlin from 2016-2025, brings together previously parallel discourses from the fields of architecture, architectural theory, archival sciences, architectural and urban planning history, fine arts, monument preservation, art and architectural history, cultural and media history, landscape architecture, philosophy, sociology of planning and architecture, sociology of space, spatial planning and spatial research, and urban planning. A special focus of attention is the critical research of identity and heritage constructions based on buildings, historical places and other, mainly material, cultural traditions.
