| Description | In 1954, in response to the Second World War, the so-called Hague Convention was concluded, committing to the protection of cultural heritage in the event of future armed conflict. However, the deliberate destruction of monuments has been encountered throughout modern history, even outside open conflict: one of the most affected regions in this respect is probably the South Caucasus. For what reasons are monuments targeted? Are historic buildings only of value to archaeologists and art historians, or does a piece of each of us disappear with their loss? And why is there silence about the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage? Listen to the eighteenth episode of the podcast The Middle Ages (or else) endures with art historian Ivan Foletti and archaeologist Jiri Machacek. This episode was produced as a collaboration between the Center for Early Medieval Studies and the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Republic of Armenia and the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Prague. |
