Mission
To advance klironomy as the science of cultural heritage and to develop systematic approaches for preserving, analysing, and transmitting heritage across generations.
Klironomy
Laboratory
Research on cultural heritage as a complex system of tangible, intangible, and theoretical values requiring preservation, interpretation, and future-oriented analysis.
Overview
The Klironomy Laboratory develops research in the field of cultural heritage as an independent interdisciplinary scientific domain. Its work focuses on the study, preservation, interpretation, classification, and future-oriented analysis of cultural heritage objects, practices, meanings, environments, and systems. The laboratory connects philosophical reflection, cultural analysis, historical method, legal and methodological questions, and applied heritage research.
Focus
Tangible, intangible, and theoretical klironomy; cultural heritage systems; preservation methods; heritage philosophy; and anticipatory interpretation of future heritage.
Key Research Areas
Tangible Klironomy
Research on material cultural heritage, including landscapes, urban environments, architecture, sculpture, pictorial heritage, archaeology, inauthentic heritage, and museum objects.
Intangible Klironomy
Study of non-material heritage, including inventions, folklore, traditions, confessional, ethnic, and communicative heritage as living forms of cultural memory.
Theoretical Klironomy
Development of philosophical, historical, geographical, methodological, analytical, juridical, and futuristic foundations for the scientific study of cultural heritage.
