The April 15th fire at the Notre-Dame de Paris is still unfolding for historic preservation. Since the 15-hour blaze, we have seen the beginnings of a ‘Notre-Dame effect’ that implicates architectural heritage, global cities, and the heritage fields writ large.
Future Anterior seeks papers that probe the contexts and consequences of the Notre-Dame fire and bring to light the concept of a ‘Notre-Dame effect’ by critically engaging with emerging key issues, including: government responsibility and patrimonial negligence; the infrastructures and ethics of heritage philanthropy; the mediatization of heritage; affect and attachment; heritage and social equity; preservation financing; the contemporary politics of medieval aesthetics; and the psychology of cultural loss.
