Hugli River Cultures Pilot Project

项目摘要

The focus of this project are the five former trading posts and garrison settlements up the Hugli river from the megacity of Kolkata. From upriver in the North towards Kolkata in the South they are: Bandel established by the Portuguese in 1660s, Chinsurah developed by the Dutch in 1650s, Chandannagar founded by the French in the 1670s, Serampore urbanised by the Danes in the 1750s and Barrackpore developed by the British in the 1770s. Together they form a uniquely rich heritage corridor which is only now sporadically becoming the focus of national and individual international heritage initiatives. None, however, has built capacity in India in a sustained manner and, most importantly, none has looked to the river. This project will transform that situation. When it ends in January 2020, across all 5 cities, heritage activists will be up-skilled to international standards in the documentation and promotion of both tangible and intangible heritage, thus energising the third sector groups. 15 owner-custodians of major domestic heritage buildings will have their properties documented as will the citizens participating in the annual festivals. A focused Heritage Management Strategy will be disseminated. Thus there will be a careful combination of resource enhancement and the building of human capital by knowledge exchange across the 5 Hugli cities. Just as the Research Assistants and heritage activists have a proven track record in volunteering, the resources enhanced have been visited twice by the UK PI Magedera and CI Jackson and the area was the birth place of the CI Banyopadhyay so the quality of these as yet undocumented domestic buildings is confirmed (see also visual evidence). The project team will thus documenting architecturally for the first time the hybrid European-Indian style of the riverside mansions in Gondal Ferry Para Ghat near Chandannagar on the Hughli River upstream from Kolkata. Further, it will use boat-borne exhibitions and symposia on the river to revitalise the Hughli as a connective conduit to empower owner-custodians and heritage activists from Bandel in the North to Barrackpore in the South. Building trust with owner-custodians via an informal network over the project's 23-month life span, the team members would collaboratively produce a diverse toolkit of cultural documentation including a substantive Heritage Management Strategy, an hour-long documentary film, architectural drawings, a postcard book, a photographic exhibition, recorded eyewitness testimony, an augmented reality App, all underpinned by academic research. This will allow the Hugli heritage activists and owner-custodians to 'talk heritage' with nationally and internationally accredited documentation and visuals in the local Bengali language (and in English and French) to private sector interests and to local and national government whose heritage projects still in the primary planning stage. This confidence will be centred around two new annual Hughli Heritage Days - 'Huglir Oitijhyo Dibos'. The first two heritage days will be supported within the lifetime of the project. The impact of the second heritage day involving all five threshold towns will be maximized by the sharing with Indian activists and researchers of the project team's documentation of the role of mobile architecture of the 'floats' and their immersion in the river at climax of the festival as well as their analysis of Jagadhatri Puja, a two-week-long devotional festival in Hugli involving hundreds of thousands of people (similar in regional impact to the Rio Carnival, but not internationally known), which is tied to the river via the immersion of huge mobile as it shifts the cultural centre of gravity from the core in metropolitan Kolkata to the periphery of the Hugli corridor every year in October/November.

这个项目的重点是从加尔各答特大城市Hugli河上游的五个前贸易站和驻军定居点。从北部的上游到南部的加尔各答，它们是：葡萄牙人在1660年代建立的班德尔，荷兰人在1650年代开发的钦苏拉，法国人在1670年代建立的Chandannagar，丹麦人在1750年代城市化的Serampore和英国人在1770年代开发的barackpore。它们共同构成了一条独特而丰富的遗产走廊，现在只是偶尔成为国家和个人国际遗产倡议的焦点。然而，没有一家公司在印度持续建设能力，最重要的是，没有一家公司关注这条河。这个项目将改变这种情况。到2020年1月结束时，所有5个城市的遗产活动家将在物质和非物质遗产的记录和推广方面提高技能，达到国际标准，从而激发第三部门团体的活力。15家国内主要文化遗产建筑的所有者和保管人将对其财产进行备案，参与年度节日的公民也将进行备案。将分发一份重点突出的文物管理策略。因此，通过在沪力5个城市之间的知识交流，将资源增强和人力资本建设谨慎地结合起来。正如研究助理和遗产活动家在志愿服务方面有良好的记录一样，英国PI Magedera和CI Jackson已经两次访问了增强的资源，该地区是CI Banyopadhyay的诞生地，因此这些尚未记录的住宅建筑的质量得到了证实（另见视觉证据）。因此，项目团队将首次从建筑上记录欧洲-印度混合风格的河畔豪宅，该豪宅位于加尔各答上游的休利河上，靠近Chandannagar。此外，它将利用船上的展览和研讨会来振兴休利河，使其成为一个连接渠道，使从北部的班德尔到南部的巴拉克波尔的所有者-保管人和遗产活动家获得权力。在项目为期23个月的生命周期中，团队成员将通过非正式网络与业主和保管人建立信任，共同制作多样化的文化文档工具包，包括实质性的遗产管理战略、一小时长的纪录片、建筑图纸、明信片、摄影展、目击者证词记录、增强现实应用程序，所有这些都以学术研究为基础。这将使Hugli遗产活动家和所有者-保卫者能够用当地孟加拉语（以及英语和法语）的国家和国际认可的文件和图像“谈论遗产”给私营部门利益，以及遗产项目仍处于初级规划阶段的地方和国家政府。这种信心将集中在两个新的年度休利遗产日——“休利遗产日”上。前两个遗产日将在项目的生命周期内得到支持。与印度活动人士和研究人员分享项目团队关于“花车”移动建筑的作用的文件，以及他们在节日高潮时沉浸在河中，以及他们对Jagadhatri Puja的分析，这是一个为期两周的虔诚节日，在Hugli有数十万人参加（类似于里约热内卢狂欢节的地区影响）。它通过巨大的移动装置将文化重心从大都市加尔各答的核心转移到每年10月/ 11月的Hugli走廊的外围，与河流联系在一起。
