Although heritage conservation has become a prominent subject of ethnographic study, the preservation of historic buildings, neighborhoods, and urban morphologies has not received as much careful attention. At the same time, preservation now plays an important role in many renewal and redevelopment schemes. Papers are focused on the politics of preservation in the narrower sense, but also address issues of authenticity, bureaucracy, identity, class conflict, and cultural property.

I'm co-organizing a session on Friday morning at 8am called Beyond E-Text: Exploring the challenges and possibilities of Digital Ethnography. Many of the presentations will feature some interesting experiments in hypermedia. My own presentation will explore the possibilities and challenges that various "Web 2.0" technologies might offer for ethnography. I'll be sure to mention Savage Minds!
