THE FUTURE OF THE BAMIYAN BUDDHA STATUES KARTON...

This Open Access book explores heritage conservation ethics of post conflict and provides an
important historical record of the possible reconstruction of the Bamiyan Buddha statues  which
was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in Danger in 2003 as Cultural Landscape and
Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley. With the condition that most surface of the
original fragments of the Buddha statues were lost due to acts of deliberate destruction  this
publication explores a reference point for conservation practitioners and policy makers around
the world as they consider how to respond to on-going acts of destruction of cultural heritage.
Whilst there has been an emerging debate to the ethics and nature of heritage reconstruction 
this volume provides a plethora of ideas and approaches concerning the future treatment of the
Bamiyan Buddha statues. It also addresses a number of fundamental questions on potential
heritage reconstruction: how it will be done  who will decide  and what it should be done for.
Moreover when it comes to the inscribed World Heritage properties  how can reconstructed
heritage using non-original materials be considered to retain authenticity? With a view to
serving as a precedent for potential decisions taken elsewhere in the world for cultural
properties impacted by acts of violence and destruction  this volume introduces academic
researches  experiences and observations of heritage conservation theory and practice of
heritage reconstruction. It also addresses the issue not merely from the point of a material
conservation philosophy but within the context of holistic strategies for the protection of
human rights and promotion of peace building.
