Navigating Loss: Interactive Documentary as a Tool for Understanding and Communicating Heritage Loss on the Coast

加速的侵蚀、海平面上升和天气模式的变化给沿海考古带来了挑战；在接下来的几十年里，一些遗产资产将会丢失，或者发生根本的变化。历史悠久的英格兰认为有必要“制定一种方法来应对不可避免的变化，包括损失”。在学术背景下，越来越多的工作集中于制定遗产管理战略，着眼于“超越拯救”，以参与变化和转型的生产潜力。学生项目将集中在三个核心领域：风险和脆弱性框架如何应用于英格兰西南部的沿海考古遗址；识别风险带来的管理挑战；以及社区参与产生适应性管理实践的机会。通过与当地社区和遗产管理者接触，这项研究将有助于就遗产资产不可避免的损失带来的挑战和机遇进行全国性的辩论和政策制定。该项目涉及的关键研究问题：(遗产组织和社区)如何确定与受海岸变化影响的遗产资产有关的风险和脆弱性概念以及损失和濒危的概念？监测和理解风险的创新、综合方法能否有助于在动态的沿海环境中制定新的遗产管理框架？需要对现行政策进行哪些改变，以促进采用将风险作为参与机会的方法，并承认损失的生产性和变革性方面？在实践中，对海岸侵蚀和考古损失做出更具创造性、更具包容性的回应可能是什么样子？这种方法在濒危遗产方案中能发挥多大作用？

Accelerated erosion, rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns present a challenge for coastal archaeology; in coming decades some heritage assets will be lost, or radically transformed. Historic England identifies a need to 'develop an approach for dealing with inevitable change, including loss' . In academic contexts, a growing body of work focuses on developing heritage management strategies that look 'beyond saving' to engage with the productive potential of change and transformation .The studentship project will focus on three core areas of enquiry: how frameworks of risk and vulnerability are applied to coastal archaeological sites in South West England; management challenges arising from the identification of risk; and, opportunities for community engagement with the generation of adaptive management practices. By engaging with local communities and heritage managers, the research will contribute to national debates and policy development on challenges and opportunities presented by inevitable loss of heritage assets.Key research questions addressed by the project:How are concepts of risk and vulnerability, and notions of loss and endangerment, framed (by heritage organisations and communities) in relation to heritage assets affected by coastal change?Can innovative, integrated approaches to monitoring and making sense of risk contribute to the development of new frameworks for the management of heritage in dynamic coastal contexts?What changes to current policy are needed to facilitate adoption of approaches that frame risk as an opportunity for engagement, and acknowledge the productive and transformative aspects of loss?In practice what might a more creative, inclusive response to coastal erosion and archaeological loss look like? To what extent could such approaches work within the Heritage At Risk programme?
