Abstract

What is the 'real thing' in cultural heritage? The papers in this book address the concepts of authenticity and replication for the interpretation, display and conservation of our cultural heritage. In the West the value placed on 'original' materials has been central to our understanding of cultural heritage. While advances in conservation science provide detailed information on the tangible properties of objects, there is a growing emphasis on the importance of their conceptual framework and the context in which they were created. Therefore, we have to consider the value of different ways of representing objects and debate whether one stage of their history should take precedence over others. In this context, the potential use of replication broadens the discussion on authenticity and brings about additional challenges - in what circumstances does a replica gain significance as another form of the 'real thing'? While the concept of authenticity continues to be one of the core factors driving decision making in conservation and interpretation, new approaches towards the display and use of collections are challenging conventions, making the roles of curators, conservators, art historians and conservation scientists increasingly complex. The papers in this volume address this dilemma and provide a platform for the continued discussion of this valuable and intriguing subject.

Abstract

Sciences exactes et sciences humaines sont, de nos jours, traversées par des conflits de vérité. Les uns, affichant leur attachement à la véracité, veulent crever les apparences pour atteindre les constructions et les motivations réelles qui se cachent derrière elles. Ainsi, l'ambition des sciences physiques de dévoiler la vérité serait infondée, eu égard aux forces de la société qui contrôleraient leurs activités : la sociologie de la connaissance serait mieux placée pour dire la vérité de la science que la science ne l'est pour dire la vérité du monde. A côté de cette exigence de véracité, il existe une défiance tout aussi généralisée à l'égard de la vérité : celle-ci existe-t-elle ou n'est-elle que relative, subjective? Le soupçon se porte alors particulièrement sur l'histoire : des récits, longtemps présentés comme exprimant la vérité du passé, sont dénoncés comme tendancieux, idéologiques, voire apologétiques. Mais les tentatives faites pour remplacer ces distorsions par "la vérité" se heurtent à leur tour aux mêmes objections. Car toute attaque contre quelque forme spécifique de vérité, historique ou autre, s'appuie sur des propositions qui demandent elles-mêmes à être considérées comme vraies. Les notions de vérité et de véracité peuvent-elles être refondées solidement afin que notre manière de comprendre la vérité, et les chances que nous aurions de l'atteindre, puisse répondre à notre besoin de véracité ? Bernard Williams, qui voit là un problème fondamental de la philosophie d'aujourd'hui, nous aide à sortir de ces dilemmes devenus impasses. Pour cela, il raconte une généalogie - celle qui aurait poussé l'humanité, dès ses premières formes d'organisation sociale, et jusqu'aux démocraties contemporaines, à donner consistance à deux grandes notions : l'exactitude et la sincérité. Ce livre n'a rien d'un traité dogmatique. Disciple de Socrate plus que de Kant, Williams, à l'heure où chacun voit le midi de la Vérité à la petite porte de sa communauté d'appartenance, nous invite à partager une vie commune. Car, cette fois encore, le philosophe tient que la seule question qui vaille n'est pas " Que dois-je faire? " mais "Comment vivre? ".

Abstract

The longing for authenticity, on an individual or collective level, connects the search for external expressions to internal orientations. What is largely referred to as production of authenticity is a reformulation of cultural values and norms within the ongoing process of modernity, impacted by globalization and contemporary transnational cultural flows. This collection interrogates the notion of authenticity from an anthropological point of view and considers authenticity in terms of how meaning is produced in and through discourses about authenticity. Incorporating case studies from four

Abstract

De moderne mens streeft naar 'echtheid'. We zien natuurlijke dingen als 'echt', en de mens en zijn producten als 'onecht'. Dit verlangen is tevergeefs, aldus Van der Stighelen. Juist de onechtheid die we voor onszelf creëren, vertelt ons wie we werkelijk zijn.

Abstract

The condition of 'fake' and 'real' in architecture is rarely publicly discussed nor has it encountered broad journalistic or scholarly attention. This book explores the realm of truth, authenticity and fakery in architecture, providing a timely collection of analytical essays and projects. Photographers, writers and architects share their understanding and speculations about a broad range of spaces and concepts - all searching for common ground between real and imagined, function and story. The authors challenge our perception of 'authenticity ' through the examination of built and simulated environments, architectural fiction, theatric illusions and mannerist trickery. They examine the notion that the principle of Sullivan's 'form follows function' contains a paradox caused by the ambiguity and complexity of architectural expression. Buildings are perceived through an individual's personal experiences while also being interpreted along broader cultural values. The works shown reveal that under scrutiny, any built environment harbors both, reveals moments of truth, deception and ambiguity--all of it partially in the eye of the beholder. The diverse contributions shed light on unexpected identities in architecture inviting critical thought about our built environment - analog and digital.0The goal of this publication goes beyond unmasking deception in architecture, it aims at unfolding time-lines and revealing the layered nature of people and places. The images and essays reveal our contemporary condition and let collective and individual narratives unfold, a range of truths in themselves. Expanding from the discussion about truthful materiality and tectonics, this book provides an understanding of real, authentic, and fake in urbanism and architecture.
