Keynote lecture: Benefits and Disadvantages of a Unitary Mindscape? A case study of Industrial heritage in the Ruhr Area. In memoriam Dr. Dagmar Kift
The lecture was delivered in July 10, 2020 as a part of the summer course “Industrial Heritage as a Source of Social Empowerment and Economic Revitalization” organized by Central European University
Abstract: The paper discusses the development of a landscape of industrial heritage in the Ruhr and considers the position of key players towards industrial heritage initiatives from the 1960s to the present day. Key players were civil society, social movements, politicians, administrators, employers/ industrialists, trade unions, preservationists, artists, intellectuals, and academics. The lecture traces the development of a remarkably unitary “mindscape” (Dai Smith) around a concept of industrial heritage as a key building block of regional identity and a marker for the successful transformation of Germany’s foremost heavy industrial region into a future where heavy industry plays no, or a much diminished role. The lecture concludes by asking whether this unitary mindscape offers not only opportunities but also silences dissonant memories of the past.
