Abstract
En 中文
Heritage work requires collaboration across disciplinary specialties and with the people who create, use, and hold heritage. Communities of practice-like preservationists, interior designers, and historians-inherently rely on systems for structure, organization, relationships, boundaries, and identity. Systems thinking approaches are essential in rapidly changing circumstances. Modeling a complex interdisciplinary system of dynamic parts challenges heritage specialists to consider origins, implications, and consequences distant from, but linked to, heritage itself. Thinking about heritage as part of a system identifies a range of new opportunities and contexts for using and supporting heritage. This essay's purpose centers on application-in how we use heritage in making decisions-rather than theory. Using a personal story about a longcase clock, the essay demonstrates how systematically thinking about heritage changes the focus of heritage work. The proposed heritage-human-ecology system model emphasizes the interaction of heritage and living.
