Depending on their roles in specialist knowledge domains and society at large, heritage objects are categorized as either <em>material <\/em>or<em> immaterial<\/em>; <em>static<\/em> or <em>dynamic<\/em>; <em>historical<\/em> or <em>contemporary <\/em>in nature. For example, in societal debates, heritage needs to be fluid, debatable, even contestable, while scientists of the past seek the robustness of historical sources in order to create a valid reconstruction of aspects of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this workshop, we are not going to make things easier. Approaching the matter from the domain of critical heritage theory, we find that heritage is best understood as an ongoing forging and recasting of relationships. These relations present themselves as connections between present and past, and are \u2013 inevitably \u2013 fueled by the fabric of contemporary society. From this perspective, we wonder how the historical analysis of past networks and relations is complicated by the &#8216;biography of relations&#8217; of heritage objects. With what tolerance and adjustments does the historian need to look at these shifty objects? And what conversation needs to take place between them and the keepers of heritage, who not only guard and protect cultural treasures, but also forge and tune heritage relations, leading the eye and mind of users of all sorts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our workshop, we look into the way heritage could be abstracted as relational \u2013 not only as proof of past relations, but in every stage of their biography. We discuss what this means for the use of heritage objects as historical sources, and what sort of contextual documentation historians could benefit from in their research.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Marieke van der Duin\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/Marieke-van-der-Duin.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/Marieke-van-der-Duin-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/Marieke-van-der-Duin.jpg 240w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/4; object-fit: cover; width: 25%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>Marieke van der Duin<\/strong> trained in museology and worked as lecturer of heritage theory at the Reinwardt Academy for Heritage Studies of the Amsterdam University of the Arts.
