Abstract

ABSTRACT Rock art is one of the most attractive heritage resources. Yet, some of these sites are either closed from the public or were never officially opened in the first place. Based on them being inaccessible to the public, various replicas have been built to allow tourists to still see their images. While these sites are inaccessible to the general public, they are not spared from natural and human induced damage. Informed by the three issues I discuss in this paper, namely: (1) the idea of selecting identified heritage resources as being important, (2) critiquing the concept of managing heritage resources for future generations, and (3) debating the question of who are we managing rock art for, I conclude that rock art should not be closed to the public. Such an approach promotes a view that such valuable spaces are preserved only for the privileged few.

进入国际知名岩石艺术遗址的途径之争:“新一代”已经诞生了吗?

岩画是最具吸引力的遗产资源之一。然而，其中一些景点要么对公众关闭，要么一开始就没有正式开放。由于它们无法向公众开放，人们建造了各种复制品，让游客仍然可以看到它们的形象。虽然这些遗址不对公众开放，但它们也不能幸免于自然和人为造成的破坏。根据我在本文中讨论的三个问题，即:(1)选择已确定的遗产资源作为重要资源的想法，(2)批评为后代管理遗产资源的概念，以及(3)讨论我们为谁管理岩石艺术的问题，我得出结论，岩石艺术不应该对公众关闭。这种做法促进了一种观点，即这些宝贵的空间只留给少数特权阶层。
