Studies on Conservation, Restauration, and Museology, vol. V3

Abstract

The authors review the 5th volume of Estudios sobre conservación, restauración y museología, which contains fifteen papers whose main topic is cultural heritage. The papers, organized around four subtopics (problems affecting heritage; conservation-restoration boundaries; heritage disciplines and the heritage professional), were the subject of debate at the 10th Academic Forum of the Escuela Nacional de Conservación, Restauración y Museografía (ENCRyM), from the 25th to the 28th of July 2017 before the 50th anniversary of the ENCRyM. The review emphasizes the focus on the local-global tensions affecting archeological, urban, and ethnographic heritage; the various disciplinary fields that serve as a basis for heritage professionals; and the experiences in new work contexts, as well as a corresponding educational paradigm based on competences and a different curriculum design.
