The project will emphasize heritage sites as spaces for reconciliation, and ask how the memories with which such sites are associated could be placed in agonistic engagement, rather than antagonistic opposition, with one another. This will be considered in terms of the three processes that constitute the focus of the larger project, heritage as tools of (1) national identity, (2) international influence, and (3) local revitalization. The workshop will bring together a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scholars to reflect on such issues.<\/p>\n

\"Dokdo\"
\nDokdo
\nModel of the Dokdo Islands, known as Takeshima and also claimed by Japan, at the Dokdo Museum in central Seoul, Republic of Korea. This museum is an early representative of the trend for representing marginal spaces of the nation as symbolic repositories for national identity in state capitals. The opening of the National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty in Tokyo in 2017, and its relocation and expansion in 2020, reflects the same process.<\/p>\n

\"Upopoi
\nUpopoi
\nThe reincorporation of an existing Ainu museum at Shiraoi in Hokkaido into \u2018Upopoi\u2019, or the Symbolic Space of Ethnic Harmony, shows the impact of transnational patterns of heritage making on domestic issues. At the same time, a dispute over the role of this space in the eventual fate of Ainu remains held by Japanese universities shows that the meaning of such sites is open to contestation from those it purports to celebrate.<\/p>\n
