  • Intrinsic Value and Perceived Essentialism of Culture Heritage Sites As Tools for Planning Interventions
    sustainability Article Intrinsic Value and Perceived Essentialism of Culture Heritage Sites as Tools for Planning Interventions Magdalena Roszczynska-Kurasinska 1,* , Anna Domaradzka 1 , Anna Wnuk 1 and Tomasz Oleksy 2 1 Robert Zajonc Institute for Social Studies, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] (A.D.); [email protected] (A.W.) 2 Faculty of Psychology, University of Warsaw, 00-183 Warszawa, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In order to remain alive and relevant, cultural heritage sites have to react and adapt to changing context in a coherent manner, i.e., in a way that is in line with the memory and identity of the place. The incoherent changes, i.e., the transformations that according to the local community do not agree with a character of a place, can be destructive for the long-term vitality of urban cultural heritage. In this study, we test which factors influence social acceptance of different alternations within the context of urban historical gardens that might, in turn, ensure the resilience of the place. Our study focuses on the intangible qualities of the place measured by intrinsic value, perceived essentialism and anti-essentialism as important predictors shaping the response to change. The correlational study was conducted using an online questionnaire designed to empirically grasp intangible qualities of cultural heritage sites. Five hundred twenty-nine responses were included in the analysis. The study shows that perceived historic value, inherent value (uniqueness and importance of the place) and Citation: Roszczynska-Kurasinska, (anti-)essentialist character of a place capture the differences between parks well and enables the M.; Domaradzka, A.; Wnuk, A.; finding of interventions that are coherent with a site’s genius loci.

    POLAND Culture and Art ISBN 978-83-8010-013-8 www.poland.travel EN Culture and Art 3 Culture and Art Culture and Art 5 Culture: Our national heritage and the testimony of romantic reflections Polish culture is woven from the memories of past greatness and the dreams of a better future, and its national character is deeply rooted in Romanticism. In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.
