Furnace Journal: Cultural Heritage in a Digital Age
The Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage (IIICH) at the University of Birmingham, UK, has recently published the second issue of furnace, its Postgraduate Journal.
The theme of this second edition is 'Cultural Heritage in a Digital Age'. Introducing the issue, editors explain that in today's digital age, technology is embedded in all cultural heritage and engagement. In this context, the issue aims to identify through case studies the current framework between cultural heritage and digital technology, by addressing questions such as the following:
- Does digital technology include or exclude?
- How participatory are the current buzzwords of 'crowdfunding', 'crowdsourcing', 'user-generated content' or 'mobile technology'?
- Has an ethical and critical discourse been developed to accommodate this rapidly-developing environment?
