THE CRITICAL CONSERVATION JOURNAL
The CC Journal, a multi-media journal published annually on the Harvard Graduate School of Design’s Critical Conservation website blog is devoted to the intellectual work developed by students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design MDes program in Critical Conservation. It is edited by students from the graduating class. Each issue represents the collaborative work of students, faculty, and guests at the GSD.
“Underlying Narratives: CC Journal 2017” is edited by Boya Guo (MDes ’17; DDes ’20). The student research projects published here challenge established concepts of preservation and reveal how, too often, preservation is a form of social injustice. “Underlying Narratives” seeks to understand the underlying forces that are shaping our pluralistic and global world. The works are arranged in overlapping topics of Identity, Orientalism, Ruralism and Authenticity.
