Résumé en anglais

Herb Stovel's "Notes on Authenticity" is a paper prepared for the UNESCO/ICOMOS authenticity meeting at Bergen, Norway in January-February 1994, itself a preparatory meeting for the conference on authenticity held at Nara, Japan in November 1994. As well as examining general issues of world-wide relevance, the paper presents a number of authenticity issues arising from particular perceptions of heritage and conservation valid in North America. The author asks for a clearer understanding of the links between value and authenticity, and stresses the need to articulate authenticity criteria rooted in respect for dynamic practices. Relevance to World Heritage evaluation and monitoring is developed through reference to World Heritage sites as well as cultural landscapes which may become eligible for World Heritage status. The Venice Charter is criticised for not including 'respect for cultural values' as a starting point, but the author proposes, not the abandonment of the Venice Charter; but the development of a new document appropriate for the global realities and complexities of our age.
