Online Public Lecture: Bus Enthusiasm and Culture Preservation
In an era when many cultural objects are rapidly disappearing, how do ordinary people perceive and make sense of their own cultural heritage? In recent years, public transportation has increasingly been discussed as a form of “everyday heritage” or “ordinary heritage”—public spaces frequented daily by numerous citizens, generating diverse experiences and feelings, and serving as aesthetic mediums through which travelers encounter a place. Although these spaces do not fall under traditional definitions of cultural heritage and are rarely taken seriously by experts, they have inspired passionate actions among transportation enthusiasts. In this sharing session, we have invited two experienced bus enthusiasts to explore these issues from the perspectives of artistic creation, cultural studies, and public humanities.
