Call for Papers - Information and Communication Technologies' Role in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage/Essachess - Journal for Communication Studies

Cultural heritage, as well as its relevance for maintaining and preserving societies', communities', and peoples' identity, have been topics of discussion over the past few years (Gomez-Ullate et al., 2020;Gottlieb, 2020). Cultural heritage is defined by UNESCO as using an inspirational tone, encouraging its preservation. Thus, the organization states that "Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration." Furthermore, cultural heritage is what keeps entire populations unified, it is the key element that makes individuals feel part of a community.

contributors are invited to consider (but not limited to)the following goals:

1) contribute to the reflection around cultural heritage;

2) contribute to the reflection on the interaction between communication

systems and cultural heritage;

3) analyze the role of individuals in preserving cultural heritage;

4) understand how individuals, as guarantors of the communication systems development, relate to cultural heritage.
