The shocking fire that destroyed a significant part of the Notre-Dame cathedral last week in Paris, France, has sparked an outpouring of emotions and debates about cultural heritage around the world, and especially in Europe. French President Emmanuel Macron has since announced his wish to create a \u201ccooperation mechanism\u201d involving European Union Member States to improve the protection of \u201cEuropean heritage.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For our second session of Trinity Term, we will consider the historical, political, societal and economic implications of the very notion of European cultural heritage. Is there a European collective memory, and what is it made up of ? What would you expect to see in the House of European History in Brussels, Belgium ? What is Europe\u2019s shared cultural responsibility, especially regarding Europe\u2019s colonial history and the question of artwork repatriation ? What can the EU do in terms of cultural policy ? Is cultural heritage a national matter ? And how do we feel about spending to preserve versus spending for the future ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
