Heritage without heirs? Czech-German Borderscape, its dissonant legacy and the way to socio-cultural sustainability
Original language description
This paper delivers a brief analysis (reflection) of civic engagement in terms of dissonant heritage, with a case study from the CzechGerman borderland; an area affected by multiple forced migration and nowadays a dam. What remains when a city disappears? Why does it matter? and for whom should its legacy be preserved? lt discusses the challenges when dealing with fixed mindsets, e.g. Czech-German, or East- vs. West-German biases and narratives of the past which, after decades of silence or conflict narratives, finally become a subject of a democratic discussion, and a gap within formal education which has been failing to provide satisfactory knowledge, meaningful solutions and skills to reach mutual understanding. The paper presents a practical example related to local involvement (people as heritage interpreters), that helps to transform the fixed narratives, based on the themes of landscape memory and disappearing cultural heritage (social and cultural dimension of sustainability).
