SOAN 148 | Introduction to Cultural Heritage
Dr Fernando Zialcita
Cultural heritage is an asset in the Global competition between nations, cities, and ethnicities. Heritage, whether tangible (e.g. architecture, paintings) or intangible (e.g., dance, games, cooking), builds up pride and identity. Heritage enlivens modernity because it re-invents traditional styles to create unique, up-to-date global fashions. To conserve heritage, we should foster state-and-community partnerships to foster community-based tourism and to develop unique niches for heritage products in the global market. Activities will be a field trip, organizing a culinary heritage event centering on a province, and fieldwork in teams.
SOAN 148 is being offered for the first semester of SY 2024-2025. For inquiries, please contact the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at socioanthro.soss@ateneo.edu or visit us at LH 100.
