Cultural heritage, law, tourism and restitution
Friday, 19 May 2023, at 9.00 AM | UP FTŠ Turistica | lecture room 201
Cultural and natural heritage have gained international significance over time with the emergence of exploratory travel, mass tourism and the admiration of travellers. There are many reasons why cultural and natural heritage are changing places: from archaeological excavations and natural heritage exploration to the dangers posed by war and conflict to cultural heritage, including art. The eternal dilemma that has characterised the past, but has over time become the subject of disputes between countries, is the return of alienated cultural and natural heritage. The question rightly arises whether natural or cultural heritage acquired without legal title can still be seen in its natural and cultural environment in the same condition as it was at the time of its appropriation.
Within the framework of the Slovenian-Turkish bilateral project of the Faculty of Tourism Studies - TURISTICA of the University of Primorska, the Faculty of Law of the Universities of Istanbul and Marmara, and in cooperation with the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Primorska, a Colloquium on the theme "Cultural Heritage, Law, Tourism and Restitution" will be held on Friday, 19 May 2023 to present the intersections between humanities, law and tourism.
The project is financially supported by the Slovenian Agency ARRS and the Turkish Science Agency TÜBİTAK, in addition to UP FTŠ Turistice.
