SUMMARY:Animal, Vegetal, Mineral, Spirit: Heritage Beyond the Anthropocene
LOCATION:Salón de Grados
DESCRIPTION:While critical heritage studies have made significant strides i
 n reimagining heritage beyond the nature–culture divide and the confines of
  the Anthropocene (Harrison and Sterling 2020; Bangstad and Pétursdóttir 20
 21), such dialogues have yet to fully take root in Southeast Asia. This rou
 ndtable calls for scholars to collectively address this lacuna, a call that
  is especially urgent as more-than-human dimensions of heritage are very ce
 ntral to many Southeast Asian lifeways. Bringing together empirical studies
  from Thailand, Cambodia, the Malay Peninsula, and the Indonesian archipela
 go, this roundtable seeks to propose pathways for exploring “heritage” beyo
 nd the Anthropocene—beyond human-centered, monument-focused frameworks – to
  foreground how animals, plants, spirits, and elemental forces act not mere
 ly as settings for heritage but as vital participants in heritage-making pr
 ocesses.\nAs roundtable participants explore how more-than-human-centred he
 ritage in Southeast Asia unsettle universalist and anthropocentric framewor
 ks in global heritage discourse, they localized practices threatened by rap
 id environmental and cultural change. Positioned within a moment of planeta
 ry precarity, as the accelerating impacts of climate change, extractive dev
 elopment, and ecological degradation are transforming both landscapes and l
 ifeways across Southeast Asia, rethinking heritage has become an urgent tas
 k. Heritage practices and discourses do not only determine what kind of pas
 ts are remembered; they also open up possible futures in and beyond the reg
 ion. Compelled by the crises of the present, we approach heritage as a site
  reconsider the boundaries between the human and the non-human by inviting 
 participants to ask whose heritage is sustained in the name of the Anthropo
 cene, and how re-thinking Southeast Asian heritage might offer pathways tow
 ard more decolonial and more-than-human futures.
